Hustlin' Texas - By KC Klein

Texas Fever Series - Book 1
Only one person in Oak Groves is happy to see bad girl Nikki Logan back in town…
Oak Groves’ most beloved bachelor, Jett Avery, lives by a simple set of rules. Getting involved with a complicated woman isn’t one of them. He learned that the hard way two years ago when he spent one of the most incredible nights of his life with Nikki Logan. But then she hightailed it out of town, never to be seen again—until now. It might be time to break one of those rules…Picking up the pieces of her life, Nikki is back in Oak Groves, face to face with the one man she’s done her best to forget. But she has her reasons for being here—and they don’t include winding up in bed with Jett. Especially since he’ll never forgive her once he finds out the truth about why she’s back…
This book was a lovely example of how a woman can be both tough and vulnerable. I fell in love with Nikki the girl from the other side of the tracks back in her home town to pay back a debt. Nikki doesn't change who she is for anyone which is refreshing. But she is hurt by her past and shies away from letting people care for her. I loved how Nikki could switch from running away from intimacy to throwing things across a room - just like any other woman. ;)
Jett Avery, a weird mix of GQ model and down home cowboy, is head over heels in love with Nikki. Their chemistry is a burning hot, constantly pushing each other to the limit. Nikki is scared of losing Jett once they become involved so she pushes him away and refuses to get involved at all. Jett is scared Nikki will run away again and so he will do anything to make sure she stays, with him. Both of these characters are full of fire and pride which makes for an amusing ride. Neither gives an inch but the battle is half the fun, they even kept me on my toes!

Klein keeps you hooked with a mix of sweet, funny and heart breaking moments. It's a perfect feel good romance novel with a great back story so you're not left thinking "sure, they know each other five minutes and now they're in love." I loved and laughed my way through "Hustlin' Texas" so grab your copy, I definitely recommend it!
