Gone Country

She’s a little bit country, and he’s…not.

Arizona businessman and long-lost McKay love child Gavin Daniels has been awarded sole custody of his teenage daughter Sierra for one year. In order to steer Sierra back on track after a brush with the law, he pulls up stakes and heads to Wyoming, looking for support from his ranching family...even if he isn’t sure where they fit in the McKay dynamic. He’s prepared for every contingency with the move: the less-than-enthusiastic response from his daughter, learning to run his corporation remotely, but he’s thrown for a loop when his new housemate, Rielle, is a whole lot sexier, funnier and sassier than he remembered.

Rielle Wetzler has finally overcome the stigma of having hippie parents and being a young single mother. In the two years since she sold her ailing B&B to Gavin Daniels, she’s become financially stable running the homespun businesses she loves. But now Gavin is in Sundance to claim the house that’s rightfully his. Although Rielle knew this day would come, she isn’t prepared to leave the home she built for herself and her now-grown daughter. And to further complicate matters, her long-dormant libido is definitely not ready to live with this newly buff Gavin—who isn’t a cowboy, but has the take-charge attitude to prove he’s all McKay.

Sharing a roof, their troubles and their triumphs is too much temptation, and before long, Gavin and Rielle are sharing a bed. But sharing their hearts and lives forever? That’s a whole ’nother ball of wax.

Warning: Contains a feisty, independent heroine who doesn’t need a man to take care of her needs outside the bedroom and a sweet, sexy and bossy hero who’s up to the challenge of proving her wrong.

First off I love the Rough Rider Series! I haven't read any in a while but I have read quite a few (I haven't read them in order either). One thing I love about the series is the  characters are real to me- some are short, some have body image issues, some are divorced, some are older, etc. so everyone can relate. I loved this book because the main characters were my age 40ish. They have some hot steamy sex but they have issues in that department too. There's also a side story about Gavin's daughter and Boone that kind of sad but I could totally see a book of their own when they are older -I'm saying it out loud so maybe it will happen :). I couldn't put the book down and when I did I just kept thinking about them all -Gavin & Rielle as well as Sierra & Boone! Fantastic Ending.

Quotes:

"If it looks like a McKay, acts like a McKay...then it is a McKay"

"That's when Gavin fell in love with her. He couldn't tear his gaze away from this beautiful and complex woman who had swooped in and stolen his heart."

"You've got some beefy biceps going on."

"You're so sweet. My own personal honey pot."

"She'd seen that shirt on him a dozen times, and every time she whispered a little thank you to the T-shirt gods."

Raising Kane

When a patch of ice sends attorney Ginger Paulson head-over-high-heels down a flight of stairs, she has no one to care for her young son and her invalid father—until lethally sexy Kane McKay shows up at the hospital, determined to prove his cowboy chivalry. Past experience has inoculated her against take-charge men, but even Ginger isn’t immune to Kane’s invasive charm and Built Ford Tough body.

For two years rancher Kane McKay has followed the Little Buddies mentoring program’s cardinal rule—hands off his Little Buddy Hayden’s mama. But one look at Ginger’s bruised body and Kane is through watching the stubborn woman take care of everyone but herself. The feisty, curvy redhead needs his help, and he’ll give her the hands-on type whether she likes it or not.

After Kane throws out doctor’s orders and issues his own demands—her full sexual submission—Ginger realizes Kane’s caring nature extends beyond just fulfilling her physical needs.

Can the former hell-raiser convince the gun-shy single mom to look beyond his past…toward a shared future?

Book 9 in the Rough Riders Series

Hot & sexy as usual! Lorelei James never lets me down that's for sure. 

This one was about a single mother that falls for a McKay man. They are older, 37 which makes it that much sweeter since most of the time the characters seem to be in their 20's.  This book doesn't jump start with hot sex scenes but not to far in they start up.

Strong, Silent Type

Wyoming rancher Quinn McKay thought he’d only have to bide time until his

levelheaded wife came to her senses and called a halt to this “trial

separation”. He never believed the marital rough patch would drag on for a coon’s age.

Libby McKay knew when she married the gruff, laid-back cowboy that he wasn’t prone to blathering about his feelings. But three months have passed and her stubborn-as-a-mule husband is still living by himself in the horse trailer. It seems he’d rather hold onto his pride than hold onto her.

Quinn realizes Libby is determined to move on if he doesn’t loosen his tongue and he’ll lose the only woman he’s ever loved. In a last-ditch effort to keep her in his life, he offers her one weekend of uninterrupted sexual decadence.

Reigniting the passion is easy. The hard part comes after the sheets have cooled and they find out if what remains is strong enough to survive past mistakes.

Book 6 1/2 in the Rough Riders Series.

This is a quick read at 102 pages.

I liked this book because it's about a couple that has been married for 9 years together for like 15 years. They were each others first and only. They separate for 3 months and things come to a head and they try to find their way back. Hot sexy stuff! I love it more because if you have been married for a long time like I have you can totally relate. 

Chasin' Eight

Bull rider Chase McKay has finally landed in a pile too big to charm his way out of. Caught with his pants down, he finds himself bucked right off the PBR tour until he can get his act together.

Hollywood actress Ava Cooper became the tabloids’ favorite target when her longtime boyfriend was outed as gay. Now she wants a place to lay low and a chance to prove to herself that she can satisfy a red-blooded man between the sheets. The sexy, rugged cowboy she finds holed up in her Wyoming hideaway seems like the answer to her every fantasy.

But Chase has sworn off women. Forever. Or at least a month. Whichever comes first.

When they take to the road to get Chase more hands-on bull riding experience, they have every intention of keeping their hands off each other. But the two headstrong stars quickly end up riding a hot and heady rodeo circuit all their own—until the press gets wind of their affair. When the dust clears and the lights of the paparazzi fade, are they ready to give up chasing the dream for a chance of finding forever?

Rough Riders Series (book 11)

So this book doesn't have your typical hunky guy~ he's described hot as hell yes But he's short like 5'7" short & his love interest well she is taller than that! Movie Star meets Bull Rider lots in common & worlds apart so it's their journey on weather the common out weights the worlds. No sex scenes until mid book~ there is one thing at the beginning however. The book was coming to a fast end with chapters that were not about Ava & Chase so I was wondering if for once there wasn't going to be closure to this love story. Great Story Excellent series!

Branded as Trouble

It’s hard to trust the future when you’ve been branded by the past.

Rough Riders, Book 6

As a walking advertisement for the tattoo shop she’s set up in a small Wyoming town, India Ellison is well acquainted with preconceived notions. Despite the odd looks and off-color comments about her off-color hair, life is good. She’s clean and sober, dotes on her sister’s kids and, best of all, spends most of her free time with her best buddy, cowboy Colt McKay.

Reformed bad boy Colt never expected three years of sobriety to lead to three years of abstinence. Curbing his craving for booze and random sexual encounters is nothing compared to the ever-increasing craving for his hot-tempered, hot-bodied best friend, India. Too bad she’s his A.A. sponsor. Too bad she hasn’t a clue that Colt’s been head-over-bootheels in love with her from day one.

After an unexpected, steamy interlude, all India can think about is riding the sexy cowboy instead of her motorcycle, even when Colt is determined to show her a slower ride is worth the wait.

Or are they risking their friendship for a fling that could burn them both?

****************

This one is about a hot cowboy of course but his eyes are set on the local tattoo shop owner who is pierced, tatted & has crazy color ! This book hat a lot of hot steamy sex scenes almost to many (can't believe I said that) and about half way through the book I thought everything already came to a head and worked itself out but nope.
