She once led him around by a string. Now he's the one holding the reins.
Rough Riders, Book 13
Georgia Hotchkiss swore wild horses couldn’t drag her back to Sundance, Wyoming. So it’s ironic she’s forced to take a rodeo PR job in her former hometown—right before her ten-year class reunion. The only thing worse than facing her cheating ex-husband and his pregnant wife? Showing up to the reunion without a date. Fate smiles on her when she runs into her former classmate and current cowboy hottie Tell McKay. With his infectious smile and fun-loving ways—not to mention his banging body—he’s the perfect solution to her problem.
Tell McKay had it so bad for Hot Lips Hotchkiss during high school that he let her run roughshod over him. But he is no longer that easily manipulated boy—these days he’s earned a reputation with the ladies that lives up to the McKay last name. He agrees to escort her to the reunion with one stipulation; that Georgia proves she has left behind the goody-goody cheerleader of the past—by sharing his bed.
Their sexual chemistry flashes so bright, they barely notice that the reunion has come and gone, and now they’re tangled up in another dreaded “R” word—relationship. But if Tell wants to get the girl this go-around, he’ll have to come up with a whole new set of knots to tie up her heartstrings.
Warning: Contains a sweet talkin’ wild cowboy with a wagon load of crazy-hot sex fantasies and the mad bedroom skills to back up his claims.

This was one HOT, Steamy, Sexy, Western Romance Book...that I had a hard time putting down. I found myself fanning myself several times during parts of the book that was really EROTIC. OMG!
Lorelei James is one author who can make a "Book Mama" smile, giggle, and squirm.
Here's a tip for ALL the men out there...sex on a trampoline will do things to your body parts that will hurt. =)
Oh...and now I'm craving ice cream thanks to this darn book.
Georgia Hotchkiss (aka...Hot Lips to the guys back in high school) is one female character who has gone through hell. Here's some obstacles in her life she's having to deal with: her ex-husband is a douche, her Dad is naive when it comes to Georgia's ex-husband, and her Mom...well...there's something going on with her that's she's not sure about. Then there's the fact she lost her twin-brother after they graduated high school. She never expected the hottie who sat behind her in History class would come back in her life and change her world.
Tell McKay, he's known to be a ladies man after graduating high school. He's following in the McKay guy tradition in the family. He's not ready to settle down at all. He has his own issues he's dealing with: his Mom thinks he has no life, his brothers like to use him, and his Dad is a jerk from hell.
He never thought the girl of his fantasies from high school who he sat behind in history class would come back into Sundance, Wyoming. Georgia "Hot Lips" was his teen fantasy. He always loved her, but could never be near her because of her a-hole boyfriend, Deck (who ended up being her ex-husband).
Now is Tell's chance to finally get his chance with Hot Lips due to the high school reunion coming up. Georgia needs a date and Tell wants to show everyone, especially Deck that people can change.
My thoughts on "Kissin' Tell" is that I enjoyed every minute of it. Like I stated above, I had a hard time putting it down. I loved Tell and his dom ways. He took control in the bedroom. The things he did...Wow!!
I loved Georgia and how willing she was to do anything with and for Tell. She was kind of a wild woman. Tell had to actually tame her, which I thought was funny.
I loved the storyline of "Kissin' Tell". I actually cried in certain parts of the book because I felt the emotion of the characters. Both Tell and Georgia had a life changing event happen to them and they both were able to be there for each other and help cope with their losses.
I love Lorelei Jame's writing style and I definitely loved how she wrote the steamy scenes between the characters. I've never read a book that involved ice cream in a scene and a trampoline in a different scene. Yes...I typed, trampoline. I still can't stop thinking about both of those sex scenes...and those were just two. There are plenty more between Tell and Georgia that will have you curling your toes with excitement.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves reading western romance, erotica, and of course those ladies who love cowboys. This book definitely will make you want to "ride a cowboy instead of a horse". =)
Be prepared for some mind-blowing sex scenes that will probably have you fantasizing your own sexual fantasies after you read this book. =)

I've been looking forward to this release. But then again, I guess that's not much of a surprise since I look forward to all of Lorelei's books.
Tell was the most laid back of all the McKay men so far. This was a little surprising after Cowboy Casanova which starred Ben McKay. But that's not to say his story is bad...cuz it's not. It's far from that. Tell is fun-loving and entertaining. But beneath all that fun is a not-so-great past. I felt like this was the first time we actually got to see that side of the McKay clan. Brandt and Jessie's book was a glimpse, but with Tell there are more details.
Georgia is a brand new character. She's come back home and she has a past as well. These two don't really trust anyone but each other. Going through their journey with them is somewhat of a roller coaster. Georgia was a good match for Tell. I wouldn't say she's a strong female like some of the other McKay women, but she holds her own. Especially once she figures out what it is she wants out of life.
We get cameos from several other McKays in this book. It was great getting updates from everyone. There are still babies popping up everywhere. I predict that by the end of this series Keeley is pregnant and depending on time frame she'll have a McKay offspring of her own. Dalton's book is going to be an emotional one---at least that's my prediction. One last before I go...there may not be a lot of books left, but I'm fairly certain there are still some big things coming down with the McKay family that we'll learn.
This is a great chapter in the Rough Riders series. You must go buy it!

This not only describes Tell McKay, but also this newest addition to the Rough Riders series! Lorelei James continues to deliver the sexiest & best panty-melting cowboys EVER, after 13 books, this series just keeps getting better & better :)
Hard to believe, but in high school, Tell was the geeky scrawny kid who crushed on Georgia, the head cheerleader. Now 10 years later - he’s known as a ladies man and fully lives up to the male McKay family tradition ;) However, there is a deeper side to him. Growing up as one of Casper’s sons was not easy and has given him a need to always feel like he has to prove himself. He never had the loving parents that the other McKay’s grew up with and he, as well as, his brothers feel like the outcasts of the family - never taken seriously. He wants to be seen as a man and no longer feel like just the jokester of the family.
Georgia Hotchkiss has just been transferred back to the one place, she swore never to come back to - Sundance, Wyoming. After marrying her high school sweetheart, she suffers the devastating loss of her twin brother, RJ. She disconnects from everyone in her grief and then divorces her husband after she catches him cheating. For seven years, she is adrift and never allows herself to get close to anyone. After moving back she realizes the mistakes she has made & what she has to do to overcome them and stay true to herself.
Tell & Georgia are the perfect complement to each other. Even though they start out as just fun, they quickly realize that are so much more - even if they don’t want to admit it. Their love story is sweet and has a chemistry that ignites off the pages. Tell’s sweetness & dominance mixed with Georgia’s willingness and steel backbone make this one of my favorite Rough Riders stories.

I love this series, but these characters lack depth. Georgia is just kind of uninteresting. The emotions don't ring deep and true the way LJ usually can write them. This is one of her "lesser" novels in my opinion. A little like Dirty Deeds which really just seemed like character sketches she would eventually develop elsewhere. The trampoline scene is not even sexy in my opinion. The best in this series are chasin eight, all jacked up, and cowgirl up and ride. Also good is the one with two men, Edgard and Trevor, althoughthe end of that one seems a little rushed. All those are worth multiple reads, but this one isnt. LJ needs to do one on Joely Monroe....we are waiting!

This book really made you nastalgic for that one person in high school that got away.. or the one you over looked and wish you hadn't. Great story over all.. with real characters. LJ has a way of pulling you into a story. She writes stories with depth.. wonderful author. Recommend this series to anyone who like a story with emotion.. grit.. sex.. and characters you can't help but love. Makes me want my own cowboy!

I know there will be lots of reviews for this story by more professional reviews so I'd like to share what I really loved about this story. Both Tell and Georgia are dealing with baggage from both family stuff and their perception of how they are seen by others. They really have to work to overcome the crap and find out what's worth fighting for. Personal special book moment - when Tell's the one with all the ice cream in his freezer and that 2 of the 4 kinds he has are two of my favorites.

Books one through 12, fun, sexy reads. Ms. James should have stopped there. Poorly written, no story really. Anyone can write about sex, positions and where to do it? Lots of ohhhhh poor Tell and ohhhh poor Georgia and dats all folks. Readers can pass this one up.

This one is great too. Georgia and Tell are wonderful and fun characters. Loved it.
So what's the deal with the bank name being National West in the last story but it changed to American West in this one? I thought it rather odd. Oh well loved the book!
