THIS LOVE
COWBOYS & ANGELS Book 6
By Kelly Elliott
Release Day – OCT 9
I was a self-appointed
bachelor and happy to have the title. Everyone thought it was time for me to
settle down and find a nice girl. Well, no thank you. This cowboy wanted to
stay clear of relationships. I wanted the freedom that came with no
strings.
But what did I know? Nothing apparently.
Everything changed when I looked into her green
eyes; my world tilted when she smiled at me.
What was this feeling?
Whatever was happening had me losing my damn
mind. I fumbled with my words. My body wasn’t my own. I wanted her …
desperately.
Was I ready to give up my bachelor days, or was
this Irish girl simply an itch I needed scratched?
This Love is book 6 in the Cowboys and Angels

OUR REVIEW
“Be still my heart! 5 stars”
I’m saying it right now, I think Cord and Maebh’s story is hands down my favorite story by Elliott to-date and maybe ever. I have a weakness for all things Irish and Maebh nails that for me, then when Cord picks up on it? Swoon freaking central! I loved how once they decided to give it a go they really stuck with it, yeah there was that hold your breath moment but still you knew. Then you have Cords family, and dear god how I love every single one, they just help round out This Love as a whole.
Maebh is new to the area and opening up shop in the small town. She soon finds herself keeping the company of the Parkers, but one catches her eye in a way the others don’t. Will she take a chance on Cord or will her lack of experience keep her back? Will she find a home and a family within the Parker clan?
Cord never thought settling down would be his speed, he loves women too much. Then he meets Maebh and things slowly but surely start changing within him when she’s around. He wants her like he’s never wanted another, but its more than that. Cord fears hurting her, but will he take a chance on what could be happiness? But the bigger question is will he be able to hold onto it?
Go, right now and one click This Love. I’ve loved every book in the series leading up to This Love and I’m sure I will love the last, but this one? It just hit me just right. It’s one of those stories where the hero does a 180 and changes his tune without regret. But like I said before, maybe I’m biased because I love the Irish twists in This Love, but I think you will too.

EXCERPT
“Do you like kissing women and getting them
all hot and bothered and then walking away? Does that get you off?”
Cord walked around his desk and headed toward
the door of his office. Where in the hell did he think he was going?
He shut the door and turned back to face me.
When he walked toward me, I stepped back until me legs hit his desk.
“You were hot and bothered by our kiss?”
The way his blue eyes searched me face had me
panting. It was getting harder to breathe, especially with him nearly pressed
against me body…again.
“No,” I lied.
“That’s not what you just said, Maebh.”
I stood up straighter and squared me
shoulders. “By your own admission, and on more than one occasion, Mr. Parker,
you don’t always understand what I say.”
He laughed, and I moaned internally. God, I
loved his laugh. And his smile. And the way he ran his fingers through his
hair.
“Why are you so interested in if I’ve fucked
someone in here?”
“I’m not,” I stated, me hands going to me
hips.
He leaned closer, a whisper away. “You’re
lying. I can tell because your cheeks are turning a beautiful shade of pink. I
wonder how vibrant that pink gets when you come?”
Me mouth opened in utter shock, and I stared
at him.
“I bet they turn vibrant.”
Cord stepped closer.
“I’ve never found the right woman to bring
into my private space and make love to, but there’s always a first time…”
Me tongue bathed me dry lips. Cord’s eyes
followed, and he let out a soft growl from the back of his throat.
“You… You…”
Christ,
what are you trying to say?
“May I ask you something, Maebh?”
The way he said my name made me knees knock
together. The room was spinning.
“Y-yes.”
“Did you like the kiss we shared? Did you
like my hands under your dress? My cock pressed against you?”
I wanted to say yes, but I couldn’t forget
how he’d made me feel when he walked away and then pretended it had never
happened.
“I might have enjoyed it more if you hadn’t
walked away from me like an arse.”
His smile instantly disappeared.
“Maebh, I didn’t mean to…”
My hands went to his chest to push him back,
but I jerked them away when I felt the zap of energy rushing between us.
What in the world did this man do to me? He
was dangerous. Very dangerous.
“I need to get back to Aisling. Have a nice
one, Cord.”
He stepped out of my way, and I was relieved
I wouldn’t have to argue with him.
Me eyes burned, and I couldn’t figure out why
I let this man get me so worked up. I headed for the door, but before I could
open it, Cord took me arm and spun me around. He pushed me against the office
door. I was having a déjà vu moment.
“You didn’t enjoy any of that night, Maebh?”
A sexy smile moved over Cord’s face. “Answer
me.”
Me eyes bounced all over his face as I fought
to remember how in the hell to speak.
“What are you doing to me?” I whispered.
His forehead leaned against mine, and I
noticed his chest heaving.
“I could say the same thing to you, agra.”
Everything stopped, and I inhaled a sharp
breath.
“Where did you hear that?” I asked.
Cord moved away and pushed his hands into his
pockets.
“Answer me,” I demanded. “Where did you hear
that name?”
He shrugged. “You better get going, the
restaurant opens in a few hours, and you’ll need to be ready.”
My mouth hung open. He was going to call me
sweetheart and not even tell me how he knew that word.
“You confuse me, Cord Parker. One minute you
make me think you want me, the next I’m like a bug you have to squash.”
He stood there, not saying a word.
“Do you?”
His eyes jerked up to meet mine. “Do I what?”
“Want me?”
It was the boldest question I’d ever asked a
man, and me neck and cheeks felt like they were on fire. But I had to know. I
needed to know how he felt.
When he didn’t reply and dropped his gaze, I
had me answer.
“I didn’t think so,” I said, with a nervous
laugh. “Stupid fool am I.”
“Maebh—”
“It’s okay. I see the women who throw
themselves at you. I won’t compete with the likes of that.”
A look of horror moved over his face.
“I know I’m not as pretty or as…experienced…”
I needed to leave before I kept spewing words.
“What are you talking about? Maebh, you’re…”
Cutting him off, I tried to act peppy as I
plastered on a fake smile. “Have a good one.”
And like that, I was rushing down the hallway
from Cord Parker. I’d just humiliated meself, and I would never forgive meself
for being so damn weak.
It was a silly crush on a handsome boy who
would never be happy with a girl like me.
