Rode Hard (Rough Riders Series #2)

by Lorelei James

Overview

Workin’ up a hot, sticky sweat is pure pleasure with a hard-ridin’ cowboy….

Widowed, struggling stock contractor Gemma Jansen swallows her pride and tracks down former bull rider Cash Big Crow to offer him a job managing her ranch. Cash agrees on one condition: it won’t be a strictly working relationship. She’s the boss during the day, but once she’s corralled in the bedroom, Cash calls the shots.

Meanwhile, Carter McKay is spending his summer at the Bar 9 Ranch preparing for an art show. But he’s definitely not prepared for the immediate visceral connection he feels to Cash’s sexy and sassy daughter Macie Honeycutt. Lust flares between them and Macie proves she’s up for any dirty fun and games that sweet and wild Carter dreams up.

Gemma struggles with her feelings for Cash–except this time, Cash has grabbed the bull by the horns. He has to convince Gemma he’s playing for keeps.

The more time Macie spends with Carter the harder she falls for him. But will the brooding artist understand that trust is just as important as love?

It’s going to be a long, hot summer in Wyoming.

Warning: this book contains explicit sex nine ways ’til Sunday, inventive rope play, graphic language, ménage a trois, and all sorts of fun and kinky cowboy stuff.

Editorial Reviews

“This continuation of the Rough Riders not only gives readers the wild, sexy ride the title suggests, it delves into the emotions and motivations of both couples. Secondary characters complement the action of intertwining plots that consistently entertain…Definitely a keeper.”

—RT Book Reviews Magazine

“Lorelei James definitely has a talent for telling hot cowboy stories that will have readers longing for one of their very own…the sex is hot, but it’s the emotional context that ensures it’s a story you’ll remember.”

—Romance Junkies

“This book was like having two romances in one. The dialogue was excellent… you could easily visualize the scenes and the transitions from Gemma/Cash to Carter/Macie, didn’t distract from the super hot sexy romance between the couples.”

—The Romance Studio

“Rode Hard is a multi-generational Western saga that I found highly enjoyable. Ms. James intricately weaves all four characters into one cohesive story…plenty of steamy love scenes that will have you reaching for your own hottie! I hope that Ms. James will return to this setting, giving us more of the McKay family’s stories in the future.”

—Just Erotic Romance Reviews

“Rode Hard is a well written and plotted gem of a read that easily handles two emotionally and physically intense relationships at the same time, artfully weaving them into a cohesive story that I found myself racing to finish…The story is fast paced, and filled with witty, sexy dialogue and realistic situations.”

—Literary Nymphs

“A great cowboy treat as well as being a hot story… For all who want two stories in one, I would recommend this book highly.”
