Lookin' for Trouble: A Honky Tonk Angels Tale from Cotton Creek Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 207 ratings

The book we've been waiting for and OMG was the wait worth it! - Candid Book Reviews

Just when you thought things were starting to simmer down in Cotton Creek, something new crops up. And this time the attention is on the Sweet gals. Hannah may have found her dream guy in Cooper Quinlan, and she's damned determine to plan the perfect wedding -- no matter who she drives crazy. Everything would be perfect if she could just ignore the little bursts of excitement she gets every time she sees Bryson Weathers. Cody isn't being much help. She doesn't give a hoot in hell about fancy dresses and weddings. What she does care about is the clandestine relationship she has with Jaxon Riggs. He's made no bones about the fact that he isn't looking for forever. She is, but if it's not in the cards then so be it. Riggs trips her switch and she's not about to pass up one moment with him, nor is she about to let anything prevent her from being with him. That resolve was holding pretty firm until an old friend, Belinda, shows up with a three year old daughter, Bernice, in tow. Belinda is sick. If she doesn't get a kidney transplant she'll die. And she wants Cody to commit to being Bernice's godmother, to raise her if Belinda dies. It's a tall order, but Cody falls in love with the little girl and is ready to say yes. Then all hell breaks loose when Belinda says that Bernice's father is right there in Cotton Creek. If it's true, it's going to cause a whole lot of trouble. Come share the joys and woes, the danger and the fun as we prove once more that the old saying "nothing ever happens in Cotton Creek" needs to be changed to "Looking for Trouble? You've come to the right place."

If you love small-town and rural, feel-good love stories like those of Robyn Carr and her Virgin River series, Ann-Marie Meyer and The Red Stilletto Book Club, Tricia O'Malley, the Siren Island series, Pamela Kelley, Nantucket Beach Plum Cove series, or any of the wonderful books by Carolyn Brown, then this is a book and a series for you!

Southern fiction, contemporaty romance, western romance, Small town & Rural, sweet romance

Book 1 in the Honky Tonk Angels Series

Ciana has a way of weaving a tale that leaves you spellbound. Sweet, funny, and a splash of Danger! Definitely a story you can get lost in.

Two people from different worlds who know one another only from what they have shared with one another in Facebook messages. They've never heard the other's voice, or seen a photo.

Riley Morgan and Analise Becke are in for a big surprise - actually a series of surprises. Their lives are about to be turned upside down as passion and danger come to Cotton Creek, Texas. And they say nothing ever happens in Cotton Creek.

Small Town & Rural, sweet romance, western romance, contemporary romance, women's fiction

Book 2 of the Honky Tonk Angels Series

Hold onto your hats – there's something new on the horizon for the folks in Cotton Creek. In Finding Justice, Ciana nails the "second chance" romance with heart, humor and hang-onto-your hat thrills. It doesn't get any better than this.

Justice Weathers isn't looking for love. Heck he runs from it. He might have a bit of running to do. Someone’s on her way to Cotton Creek and when she gets there she’s gonna stir up a whole lot of feelings he’s spent the last three years trying to forget. Yeah, that bit about nothing ever happening in Cotton Creek? So wrong.

Small Town & Rural, Western romance, sweet romance, contemporary romance, women's fiction

Book 3 of the Honky Tonk Angels Series

Ms. Stone has certainly made Cotton Creek an exciting place with her fast-paced, hard to put down tales, and this one is no exception

Love was the last thing on Kyle Stader's mind. He'd found and lost that once and he wasn't about to ever let himself feel that kind of hurt again. He was content if not happy, his quiet bad boy alpha reputation provided him a steady supply of willing bed partners. He could live without love and the pain it caused. So, when Liz Redgate shows up in Cotton Creek, he might find himself interested, but it darn sure isn't going to go anywhere except maybe the bedroom.

western romance, contemporary romance, sweet romance, small town & Rural

Book 4 of the Honky Tonk Angels Series

Ciana Stone does it again. This is a truly enjoyable love story that will tug at your heartstrings.

His family and friends referred to him as a "rounder" because when it came to the ladies, Jayce (rhymes with Chase) Weathers, definitely gets around. He's the hot bad boy who knows how to give a woman a night of wild pleasure, some laughs and leaves them wanting more and chasing after him. Not that they're likely to catch him. Jayce isn't opposed to settling down, he just hasn't met the right woman -- if she even exists. He's starting to wonder. And then Billy Sweet shows up at the Honky Tonk Angels bar where Jayce is finishing the remodel on the top floor, and he has with him a woman and her two year old daughter. Callie and Lily Williams.

Callie brings out something in Jayce. Something besides passion and lust. He wants to be her hero.

Western Romance, small town & Rural, contemporary romance, feel good romance

Book 5 of the Honky Tonk Angels Series

Better than any night time drama!

Things have gotten downright smoldering in Cotton Creek. The oil boom has the town bursting at the seams, and has Cody and Hannah run ragged with the bar being packed every night. Leave it to their mama to come up with a solution. Stella talks ther nephew Cade to go to Cotton Creek and helphis cousins. He just sold a casino in Atlanta City and has no idea what he wants to do next. What were the odds that a month after he arrives, Roxie Ellis' 1957 T-bird would break down just outside of Cotton Creek and she'd be needing a job to make enough to affect repairs? Gambler's luck? Maybe. Whatever the case, sparks fly at first glance and before you can call red on a roulette wheel, Cade and Roxie are neck deep in what is surely the most erotic bet of their lives. The problem is, the bet becomes a whole lot more serious than either of them plan and soon Cade is Playing for Keeps.

Small town & rural, western romance, contemporary romance, feel good romance

Book 6 of the Honky Tonk Angels Series

The book you were waiting for and OMG was the wait worth it.

Hannah may have found her dream guy in Cooper Quinlan, and she's damned determine to plan the perfect wedding -- no matter who she drives crazy. Everything would be perfect if she could just ignore the little bursts of excitement she gets every time she sees Bryson Weathers. Cody isn't being much help.

second chance romance, western romance, small town & rural

Book 7 of the Honky Tonk Angels Series

A second chance romance that will melt your heart.

She walked into my life when I was 17. Actually, I walked into hers. I applied for an after-school job at her photography studio. I fell for her at first glance. She was my first love. Actually, she was my first at a lot of things, and when she walked out on me, she broke my heart. I thought it had healed. Then I saw her again and as corny as it sounds, looking into her eyes was like coming home. The question is, can old hurts be forgotten, and can old love be rekindled? I don't know, but sure as hell hope it's possible.

    Lookin’ For Trouble by Ciana Stone is one of those novels where you want to read it as fast as you can because it is so good you want to know how it ends but on the other hand you want to read it slowly and savor the story because you love the characters and you feel like you are living in their world. I’m a huge fan of Cotton Creek and I have been waiting for Cody and Riggs’ story. Ciana Stone did not disappoint! This story made me laugh and cry and hold my breath and at the end..smile.

    Cody has known since first laying eyes on Riggs that he “was the one”. She doesn’t care that he’s been married twice before. She doesn’t care that he is much older than she is. She doesn’t care that he is a loner and a drifter and doesn’t stay in one place for longer than six months. After Cody saves Riggs from a rig accident at the job site their attraction finally becomes reality.

    Intertwined in the story we find out how Hannah and Cooper are faring in planning their wedding. We get to know Bryson and we meet Belinda and her daughter Bernice. They play a huge part in the story and add to the suspense.

    The story has a few twists and turns that keep the reader guessing but there is a VERY happy ending.

    I was provided this audiobook as a gift at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I have enjoyed each book in this series, but this has to be my absolute favorite. I'm hoping that Ciana Stone continues to write more for these characters and their world of Cotton Creek, Texas. There are still so many characters that have stories to be told or expanded upon. I love how she writes in 3rd person so that J. Scott Bennett can narrate for all characters POV in an all knowing manner. He does an excellent job bringing the characters and their world to life. I fully enjoy listening to his performance. This is a MUST listen Series!

    Lookin' For Trouble by Ciana Stone is an entertaining read. Ms Stone has delivered a story that will grab your attention and hold it till the last page is read. Cody and Jax's story is full of suspense, drama, action, humor and spice. The characters in this book are awesome. There were a few editing type issues but not enough to detract from the story. This is my second book by Ms Stone and I will be reading a third in the future. Lookin' For Trouble is book 6 in the Honky Tonk Angels Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

    This book was surprisingly complex! When I started this one, I was expecting a simple tying up of loose ends, because it didn't seem like there was much else to do after the end of the previous one. Not only was I wrong in that assumption, but I would argue that this is the best book of all. It goes deeper into some of the characters that have been present since the very first book of the series in a way that we haven't seen yet. Add to that the fact that characters that seem important end up being blips, and ones who started out very secondary became central players in the overall plot line. Just beware your initial assumptions about all of the characters, both new and old. As far as that goes, you HAVE TO read the previous books! It is essential for understanding any of what happens in this book.
    I was very pleased that we finally get to see Cody happy. She has been one of my favorite characters since Riley's book and she finally finds her HEA, though it takes some time for her to get there. What we saw of Hannah, as well as Pressley, was good progress for both of them. This book did end up doing a good job of tying up the loose ends, it just took us on an unexpected adventure to get there. I have to say that I didn't see the ending coming at all and that the result was perfect for these characters! I hope to see more of them in the future!

    This one is certainly filled with some surprising ends, as well as some heartwarming beginnings. Cody and Hannah experience life altering events in this tale which may shock you to the core, but you sure don’t want to miss what’s coming. Their stories are filled with a lot of drama and action, that include moments of violence, betrayal, and, of course, some hot cowboy love. It will have your head spinning at times (in a good way) and cause you some anxious and distressing moments, but in the end … well, you’re just going to have to read it to find out. You’ll find this a fast-paced and, at times, gripping read you’ll have trouble putting down. It’s a definite attention getter and quite a riveting episode in the Cotton Creek saga.

    Lookin for Trouble was by far my favorite book of the Honky Tonk Angels Series. I absolutely loved this book. It was a perfect continuation for the characters that Ciana Stone has made us fall in love with. I highly recommend this series.

    Hannah Sweet is determined to have the perfect wedding with Cooper Quinlan, sparing no expense. When a woman comes to town claiming that she has Cooper's child, everything goes haywire. Cooper's solution makes Hannah reevaluate their whole relationship.

    Cody Sweet always knew when she met the one she'd know immediately. Little did she know he would be such a heartbreaker, but shes determined to make the most out of the time she has with him.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2016
    The story was amazing! Was waiting for Cody to fall in love and she couldn't have fallen for a better match than with Riggs. What a great couple.
    This book is also about the love between Hannah and Bryson. Actually between Hannah and Cooper but that didn't go well. 😳

    I would have liked to have more in Hannah and Bryson's relationship seeing as he's a hot Weathers man but the author didn't get too much into it.

    As usual the author has hit it big with this one too. There are unexpected twists in this book. Nothing I would have imagined so all of it came as a surprise!

    Only one negative thing I can say about this book is the dialogue was lacking. Seems to get worse with each book. Their dialogue doesn't seem to flow. Seems to be lacking emotion. That's why the book got a 3⭐️and not a 4⭐️.
