(Third in Rough Riders series)

...Ridin’ the edge of lust is fun—until someone falls in love.

Goody-two boots AJ Foster has waited her entire life for her dream cowboy Cord McKay to see her as more than the neighbor girl in pigtails. Now that she’s old enough to stake her claim on him, she’s pulling out all the sexual stops and riding hell-bent for leather—straight for his libido.

Divorced rancher Cord has sworn off all women…until innocent AJ suggests he teach her how to ride bareback—and he realizes she doesn’t mean horses or bulls. Between his responsibilities running his massive ranch, missing his young son and dealing with the sexual shenanigans of his brother and cousins, Cord is more than willing to take AJ up on her offer. On a trial basis.

The fun and games tie them both up in knots. AJ isn’t willing to settle for less than the whole shootin’ match with her western knight. But for Cord, even though the sexy cowgirl sets his blood ablaze, he’s determined to resist her efforts to lasso his battered heart.

Sweet, determined AJ has the power to heal—or heel—the gruff cowboy…unless Cord’s pride keeps him from admitting their relationship is more than a simple roll in the hay.

(This just cracked me up-->)Warning: this book contains: raunchy sex scenes that’ll work you into a lather faster than a winded horse, graphic language, resourceful use of baling twine, ménage a trois, ménage a quatage, and yippee! hot nekkid lovin'.

***** 5 Stars. I rarely give out 5 stars. The book has to really grab me, keep me hooked from beginning to end to the point that I don’t want to set it down to do anything, and this book made the grade. I love the contemporary cowboy theme in this book (and series). I loved the prose and rhythm to Ms. James’ writing, and I loved that her characters are not afraid to hold back in any way, shape, or form. Some romantic (erotica) stories are just one sex scene after the other, strung together by pages and no story, however, that is not true of this one. The characters have real personalities, faults, characteristics, and situations that are believable and far from boring. Cord was dreamy (lol) and even though he was demanding, I found myself intrigued to see what he would do next. AJ, or Amy Jo, made me smile at her sometimes naiveté and gutsy sides rolled in to one.

Full steamy ahead on this series!
