I am not usually one to read romcom but, with a name like that IDK how I was gonna pass it up. CowSex, definitely not what you are thinking and I absolutely love the name !! Too cute <3 This author knows how to write. Me not reading Romcom was intrigued and couldn't put the story down. I love the way she writes her characters. They are lovable and hard to walk away from. You just wanna know more about them and stay wrapped up in the story. Her heroine is sassy and puts up with no crap. She's like this lil tornado that has blown into Aspen and is turning Koa's (<---hero) life upside down. With 2 failed marriages under his belt and 2 ex psychos to prove it, Koa isn't lookin for anything or anyone. Until he meets Gracie and they are both exactly what each other needs. They just don't know it yet.
The banter between the main Characters is great. Had me laughing from the start. the inner dialogue of the 2 was just as funny. There is one point I am laughing so hard I had tears. This was well worth the risk and CowSex has me thinking I should be giving Romcom a little bit more of a chance. :)

So, I have this new book boyfriend I’d like to introduce you to…he’s name is Koa and he is one sexy-ass cowboy. I also have a massive girl crush on an Essex chick named Gracie. I adore these two characters; separately they are great but put them together and they are just amazing. Their chemistry is off the charts but it’s more than chemistry that hooked me with these two; they have a connection and a bond that is so intense. The banter is freaking hilarious and I couldn’t get enough of it.

I was hooked on this book from page one. I did not want to put it down and ended up reading it rather quickly, which disappointed me because I soon found myself at the end. NOOOO, I screamed and had to re-read it. I must warn you, don’t try reading this at your office desk… trust me, just don’t. You will laugh your @$$ off, you will have tears from laughter and people will look at you as if you’re crazy.

It’s no lie that Lesley Jones is one of my favorite all time authors and I’m always giddy with excitement when she announces she has a new book coming out. I couldn’t wait to get my grabby hands on this and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. CowSex is a rom-com that will leave you swooning, laughing, crying and cheering for the characters. I know what you’re thinking… CowSex?... it’s not what you are thinking at all. You need this book on your TBR list, hell, you need to just stop and read it right now.

I’m sitting back reading CowSex and hubby walks in.

Me: Hubby, how am I going to talk people into reading this book when it’s called CowSex?
Hubby: Is it about his good mooooves?
Me: Ha bloody Ha…
Hubby: Is it uderly sexy?
Me: Oh Geez, STOP. I haven’t even worked out why it’s called CowSex yet?
Hubby: Maybe, he’s all animal in bed?
Me: STOP…PLEASE…STOP!!

Well, I’ve finished and now I know that there is a VERY good reason why this book is called CowSex, and it CRACKED ME UP!! I don’t know about you but I had some very…ummm…weird…ahhh…kinky…thoughts running through my head trying to work out the reason for the title. TRUST ME, YOU’LL LOVE IT!! Have no fear, I would not lead you up the garden path, the title is fine, legit and OK. No animals were hurt or “used” in the making of this story. 😉

So, we’ve established that the title is more than you think, now it’s time to get to the nitty-gritty. I nearly gave up at 50%. My eye was twitching, and the reviewer in me was STRUGGLING. Do I put ALL my romance reading rules on the shelf and push through? Well, fellow members of the jury, I can say that no rules (well, my rules) were broken and I finished this story with the BIGGEST…GOOFIEST…CHEESIEST…grin on my face.

THIS BOOK WAS BLOODY AWESOME!!

Ok, it was nearly perfect. I did have a couple of times that I shaked and shuddered, moaned and groaned and squinted my eyes a little. I’m not sure the author knows this, but this book had a remarkable resemblance (definitely not the same) to The Gamble by the LEGEND Kristen Ashley. Now, before you all get judgy, it’s definitely different. For starters, this chick is definitely no Nina and the bloke is definitely not Max. It just had tones of The Gamble, that automatically made me think of it.

I laughed, Oh how I laughed in this book. Another conversation with hubby…

Me: You know how I was cracking up before, do you want to hear why?
Hubby: Your idea of funny and mine when it comes to your books are worlds apart.
Me: No, this time it’s REALLY funny.
Hubby: Sure…
Me: So…. (I’m not going to tell you, you have to read it)
Hubby: (at the end of telling him) Silly (with a big grin on his face)
Me: Silly, but funny too?
Hubby: Yeah, yeah…

Now, there were a couple of times that had me crossing my arms and shaking my head at the hero. I was doing the whole…YOU WANT ME TO LOVE THIS DOUCHEWAFFLE? Well, I can confirm, that if you stick with it, this story will give you a HERO!! You know, those guys we read romance for. He says the right thing, does the right thing and acts the right way. I LOVED FRANGGY…I mean Koa. It was not hard at all to be picturing Franggy as the hero…not hard at all.

What a journey. I absolutely loved the highs and lows. This was my first story by Lesley Jones and it will definitely not be my last. I laughed, cried, squirmed and sighed. Exactly what I’m looking for in my romance reads. Accept the title…and enjoy the ride.

When one of my favorite authors who is known for writing books that are deeply emotional says she is going to be writing a light-hearted and funny romance, I wondered "will I love it?"

The answer is I absolutely LOVED CowSex!!!

Lesley Jones has a writing style that is uniquely her own. Although CowSex is a rom-com, it still carries that unique style that I have come to love from Ms. Jones' books. There are laugh-out-loud moments, complex characters, a few emotional moments, and a storyline that kept me from being able to put the book down!

From the first meeting between the main characters to the language differences, I found the book to be hilarious! I loved Gracie with her Essex style and quick tongue. She was fun, and quirky, and feisty! She held a soft and vulnerable side to her that kept her relatable. Koa was lovable, sweet and kind. The chemistry between Gracie and Koa was hot and banter was freaking hilarious! There are so many parts I want to share but I don't want to spoil it!! The American vs English language differences had me rolling on the floor in laughter!!

If you are looking for a book that's funny, sweet, laugh-out-loud, witty, with great characters, and a touch of emotion - this is and excellent book for you and I highly recommend it!!
