Synopsis
Moving back home to my parents’ cattle ranch in Texas was the last thing I thought I’d be doing.
But, here I stand … in front of my high school girlfriend. A beautiful, confident woman has replaced the young girl I once knew and loved. Hell. I’m still in love with her.
Yep. Paxton Monroe was my first love and the one girl in town who now hated my guts. So much so, Paxton swore her revenge on me if it took her until the day she died. The last words she spoke to me were a vow to cut my dick off and shove it down my throat.
The fight between my heart, my head, and last, but certainly not least, my dick starts tonight. Because all I can think about is how I want to be buried so deep inside Paxton she won’t remember how I broke her heart, or how I left her when she needed me the most.
But who will win? My heart is too broken to listen to my head. And my dick, yeah it’s not listening to anything or anyone. Not until it gets what it wants and what it wants is Paxton Monroe.
Lost Love is book one in the Cowboys and Angels Series.
I’m in love with Kelly Elliot’s books! She always knocks it out of the park and this was no exception.
My heart went through a great deal of emotional states while reading this. Pax and Steed’s story was just the right kind of heartbreaking book to keep you entranced by it and make you cry with the overwhelming emotions it ignited.
Pax was a sweet woman, she had an awful thing happen to her in the past and now her life was the result of that, she wasn’t happy; she didn’t even remember how that felt like. Still she wasn’t prepared to see him again, Steed came back into her life like a hurricane and there was no way of ignoring him or the effect he had on her.
Steed character was just wow! He was all man and a great father; I couldn’t even imagine how he could be capable of doing what he did before leaving his childhood home. But he had come really far, he was ready to get the life he deserved and there was only one way of getting that, and that was Pax.
The back and forward between them was fun to read and at the same time it was truly brutal to see how deeply they had hurt each other. Nevertheless we get to see how sometimes love can overcome it all, and you might gain so much more from granting forgiveness, even when some things seem too hard to let go.
My favorite touching moments where the ones they shared with Chloe, I bursted into tears so many times I stop counting. Their hearts where so big, they had a great capacity for love and they filled them with love for each other.
Pax took a big role onto her shoulders I know how hard this could be since I had an amazing stepmom. This aspect of the story made the characters more real, it was not just a romance story, it was a story about life and real hardships.
I was overwhelmed when I finished reading and that’s how I know it was a good book, the type that leaves a mark on you and stays forever in your heart.

EXCERPT
“Whatcha doing?”
I nearly jumped out of my skin as I spun around and clutched at my chest.
“Jesus, Amelia! Why would you sneak up on me like that?”
She tried to hide her smile and failed. Lifting her brows, she glanced past my shoulder. “Were you watching Steed and Chloe?”
My cheeks heated. “What? No! Are they here? I haven’t seen them. Why would you say that?”
When her eyes moved back to mine, I knew she saw right through my blunder of lies. “Uh-huh. I know I was little when you and Steed dated, so we really don’t know each other all that well.” She smiled. “But I can already tell you’re a terrible liar, Paxton.”
I dropped my head then peeked up at her. “I wasn’t spying.”
Amelia held up her hands. “I didn’t say you were.”
Chewing on my lip, I sighed. “Okay. I was spying. I’m lost, Amelia.”
With a soft sympathetic grin, she glanced at her brother. “So is he, Paxton. His eyes are so sad. Earlier this morning we all had breakfast together as a family and both Mom and I noticed it.”
“The family was all together?” I asked.
She nodded with a grin. “The boys have been working the ranch the last two days so they’re all staying at the house. It’s been nice having Steed home again. Dad’s thrilled he’s back and digging deeper into the business side of the ranch. The idea of having another son run day-to-day operations has him all kinds of happy.”
Guilt hit me square in the chest. It was my fault he left. I told him to leave.
He left his family and stayed away because of me.
“I’m so sorry he left town,” I said.
“Paxton, you didn’t keep him away all those years. That was his decision. A poor one, but his nonetheless.”
I shrugged. Turning, I glanced back at Steed and Chloe. “He’s such a good father.”
The sadness in my voice caused Amelia to put her hand on my shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
