Publisher's Summary

A sexy, swoony romance from New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Jessie Evans.

Cowboy bikers, fireworks, and romance, oh my....

Wild girl Mia Sherman has a secret - she isn't as fearless as she pretends. Descended from Lonesome Point, Texas's founding family, Mia grew up hearing tales of an old Irish curse that had followed the Shermans to America. At age 24, Mia is still terrified of the stories, because they aren't stories. They are a warning about what will happen if Mia allows love and romance into her life. The curse struck Mia's grandmother and her great-great-whatever grandmother, and Mia knows she could be next. The first-born daughter of every generation is cursed to lose her husband on her wedding night, which is one of the many reasons Mia has sworn off relationships.

Until the fateful day Sawyer Kane rides his Harley into her life...

Rancher turned restoration expert Sawyer Kane can't believe his luck when the feisty owner of the lingerie shop next to his hotel turns out to be the curator of his latest project, a ghost town he's been sent to restore. He's looking forward to long, hot days talking history, and hotter nights with Mia, but the redhead with the killer smile seems determined to keep him at a friendly distance. But when a dangerous man from Mia's past arrives in town, Sawyer finds himself drawn into her inner circle, and into the legend of Lonesome Point itself.

Can true love conquer all, even a centuries-old curse? Mia and Sawyer may be the first to find out.

Mia Get Your Gun

The Good: the author showed what really happens when a violent controlling man becomes obsessed with a naïve woman. Unlike the absurd and dangerous fantasy perpetuated by FSOG, Mia did not find being was stalked, terrorized and almost killed by her ex-boyfriend an erotic or romantic experience.

The Bad: after barely escaping with her life and going back to her small Texas hometown, Mia does NOT learn to protect herself. She doesn't learn self-defense, how to use a weapon or have a security system installed in her building. Since Mia earned a MBA in business, she should have been smarter than that.

As the first book in a romantic series, there was great potential; entertaining moments, some explicit but not degrading sex scenes, a sexy, non-violent hero and an endearing cast of friends, family and neighbors.

Phenomenal narration and story line!

How can you make a terrific book even better? It's by making it into an audio book and having a narrator with a fantastic voice read it!
The characters came to life in my mind as the story was read to me.
Sawyer and Mia were made for one another. Their dialogue and scenes together were witty, funny and even sexy.
This is my 2nd audio book (as in ever) and I have to say that this is the best way to get through working on a project!

I would absolutely recommend this audiobook to a friend. Jessie Evans books are go-tos for me, and I love every single one of them. This new series is hot and sexy, and the addition of the mystery, along with the love story, is a winner.

I loved Mia's and Sawyer's first time together. Also, the part of the book where Paul came back for Mia was heart-pounding, and added a great edge to the story.

It's always interesting hearing a narrator's take on characters. His voice for Tulsi was one of my favorites.

This book turned out to be such a sweet story with a little bit of a haunted, scary twist at the end, lol.

Mia and Sawyer

A mysterious, suspenseful, and steamy journey to go on. Leather and Lace was a different type of story for me, and I liked it.
Mikael Naramore was a wonderful narrator.

This is a well written enjoyable and entertaining romance. The narrator did a good job.

couldn't wait to finish it, and wanting more

the story was quick when needed and drawn out when it was it added to the story

Mia and Sawyer were rather explosive together

A very pleasant listen. The narrator was good and the story was better. I liked the potential paranormal aspects to the story. As in every day life, this leaves one wondering. Added a nice touch to the story. Never mind that Mia and Sawyer were rather explosive together. Very nice. I look forward to the other stories in this series.
