Julie's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I blooming well laughed my socks off whilst reading about Koa and Gracie.
Really enjoyed being dragged back to my Essex-girl roots, made me chuckle more than a few times, what with the wonderfully crazy but familiar words of this author's world, and that of surprise and wonder from the Americans in this story, on hearing these crazy English words.
I loved their initial meeting, the crazy and wacky meeting of two very different people, but with a chemistry so off the charts, but so believable. I think this could happen in the real world without a doubt.
Gracie is someone I definitely could be close friends with, that may be because she reminded me of me for the most part.
Lesley's writing brings you in and you get to experience first hand the thrills and spills of a couple becoming acquainted with one another.
I thought both sets of friends were pivotal to Gracie and Koa making it happen. The exses were both crazy bonkers women, but their loss was most definitely Gracie's gain.
I adored Gracie - she was out to get her head cleared out, but intending to make a whole new life.
Koa, at first, I thought was an arse, but once he finally worked through his emotions, he was the sweetest guy you would ever want to meet.
This book had it all - love and happiness, fun times, and some hilarious situations that you wished you could see for real.
Was I imagining the weirdest of things with the title? Yes I was, but in reality a lovely romance, set in a beautiful part of the world.
I'm not sure if everyone will get the cockney, Essex humour, but it certainly kept me turning the pages,
A great 4* read, and I am happy to say my Lesley Jones cherry has now been popped!!

EARLY REVIEWS OF COWSEX
I was blown away with the beauty of this. So funny and so real. I love a page turner but more than anything I love feeling all churned up and not knowing what's round the corner.

I will go on record and say this is my No.1 book of the year! So funny I got a head, cheek and belly ache from laughing/smiling so hard...
***********
When you wake up smiling then start laughing out loud just thinking about the scenes and the lines. Yes this book does that. One of funniest Books I've read this year!

EXCERPT
“He scoops ice out of a drawer in the freezer and wraps the tea towel around it before heading back towards me and placing his makeshift ice pack gently on the back of my wrist.
“Hold this in place,” he orders. I do as I’m told—with a lot of concentration, this is something I am occasionally able to do.
I continue to watch him as he repeats his movements from earlier, only this time he slides the ice pack under my wrist.
He then proceeds to retrieve what I assume are a couple of painkillers from a pack he takes from the pantry. He hands them to me, and I put them in my mouth before accepting a bottle of water he pulled from the fridge.
“You drugging me?” I question.
“Yep. They’re magic pills that stop you from talking, but they only work on beautiful girls. Not sure if you qualify.”
“Oh, and he’s a fucking comedian as well as a first-aider. What other skills can you impress me with, Cowboy?”
He scratches at his beard and gives his head a slight shake. “You have a smart mouth for a little-bit, anyone ever tell you that?”
All the time.
“And you should quit with the cussing. It doesn’t become you.”
“Fuck you.”
“Charming.”
We stare at each other in silence for a few seconds, and I feel a bit mean for being rude. He didn’t have to help me out with my arm, but he did, and he did it with a gentleness that surprised me.
“So, where’d you learn the first-aid skills?”
“Played a lot of football, got a lot of injuries, learned how to fix myself up.”
“By football, I assume you mean that game where men wear lots of padding, run along carrying a wonky ball, knock other men out of the way until they reach a line, where they then proceed to throw down the wonky ball and score a point, or a goal, or something similar? Would that be the game you’re referring to?”
He folds his arms across his chest and leans back against the worktop opposite where he sat me.
“It would be the game that’s played something like the way you described that I’m talking about, yes.”
I nod and then shake my head. “Always puzzled me why you would call that football when so much of the game is played with the hands. The foot and the ball, rarely actually coming into contact.”
“Well, what would you call it?”
“Big men that are scared of getting hurt, so they wear lots of padding while they run, ball.”
“Now who’s being a comedian?”
“I’m female, so it’s comedienne.”
“What’s the difference?”
“We’re actually much funnier.”
That earns me a smirk, and I swing my legs while sitting on the worktop, basking in the satisfaction that I’ve almost made him smile.”
