| Plum Valley Cowboys Book 2 |
Can an inexperienced cowboy wrangle the adult movie star of his dreams?
Hawthorne
I’ve lived in the same small town my entire life. And I like it, for the most part: being a rancher, taking care of my chickens, and even my meddlesome family. What I don’t like are the limited dating options. I’m gay, and at thirty-six-years-old, I’ve never been with a man.
When I enter a contest to win my favorite adult entertainer’s support for our town’s first Pride Parade, I never expect to win. And I definitely never expect to find myself in a friends-with-benefits relationship with the man.
The problem is, I quickly realize I want more. But could someone as confident, sexy, and independent as Silver ever consider building a life with a simple cowboy like me?
Mateo
My work is my life. Filming under the moniker Silver, I’m happy enough. I’m making good money, I’m free from my crummy past, I’m well on my way to the career I actually dream about, and I’m not looking for any complications.
Enter Hawthorne Moore, with his sweet-as-molasses drawl, that adorable gap-toothed smile, and the beautiful way in which he begs, and suddenly, I find myself getting in too deep. And that’s a problem, because I’ve spent years building up these walls around my heart, and I don’t know how to bust them down.
Can I work through my trauma and lasso myself a cowboy, or will I lose the only man who’s ever loved me?
Virgin Hearts is a friends-with-benefits-to-more romance that includes a flirty performer, risqué photo shoots amongst peeping bovine, an endearing cowboy whose cock (ahem, rooster) rises at dawn, dom/sub undertones, and one very HEA. It’s book 2 in the Plum Valley Cowboys series but can be read as a standalone.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
It took Hawthorne a long time to figure out he was. Growing up in a town where being gay was treated with negativity was a big part of that. And watching his brother’s best friend be mistreated just added to it. But things have changed and are continuing to change. And with those changes, Hawthorne can be who he is. Though that doesn’t mean finding love is easy. So when his nephew wants to have throw the town’s first pride parade as a surprise to his dads, Hawthorne of course agrees. And when it comes to funding well he has a crazy idea. Enter a contest that his favorite adult entertainer is throwing with his company. Winning is a long shot…until it isn’t. And Hawthorne never expects to connect with the man behind the persona of Silver. Mateo is everything Hawthorne could want in a man. But can he convince Matteo to take a chance on them? Mateo never expected to have feelings for Hawthorne. He has always kept a wall up to avoid love for many reasons. But Hawthorne threatens to break them down bit by bit. And Mateo is truly helpless to stop it. So can he get past his trauma and let him fall for his cowboy? I really loved getting to know these two. Hawthorne is so sweet and definitely deserves someone to love him for who he is. And same for Mateo! His childhood was anything but nice and he has so done so much to overcome it. He definitely deserves the love that has always been denied to him. These two were just adorable and I loved watching them fall head over heels for one another!
