Description:

…One lucky woman…three sexy cowboys…she’s in for the ride of her life!..

Channing Kinkaid itches for a change; a wild western adventure with an untamed man. Determined to shed her inhibitions and embrace the steamier, seamier side of life, she sets her sights on hooking up with a real chaps-and-spurs-wearing cowboy.

Enter Colby McKay—bull rider, saddle bronc buster and calf roper. From the moment he sets lust-filled eyes on the sweet and fiery Channing, he knows he’s found the woman who’s up to the challenge of cutting loose. What rough and rowdy cowboy could resist a no-holds-barred sexual romp with a sassy young thing starring as his personal buckle bunny?

Intrigued by Channing’s bold proposition of horsing around on the road, Colby impulsively sweetens the deal; sexual escapades not only in his bed, but in the bedrolls of his rodeo traveling partners, Trevor and Edgard.
Although Channing’s secretly longed to be the sole focus of more than one man’s passions, Colby’s demand for complete submission behind closed doors will test her willful nature.

Can Channing give up total control? Especially when not all is as it seems with the sexy trio? Or will the cowboys have to break out the bullropes and piggin’ string to break in this headstrong filly?

Warning: 
This title contains the following: lots of explicit sex, going strong long after the cows come home, graphic language that’d make your mama blush, light bondage with bullropes, ménage a trois, and yee-haw! hot nekkid cowboy man-love.

Alyn’s Thoughts:
Warning: This book will have you begging for a bronco riding cowboy to ride you into the sunset!

Channing Kinkaid is a city girl that is tired of living the life someone else planned for her. She is from a well off family that expects her to marry who they choose, take a job they lined up for her, and live the perfect life that she hates. Running off to the rodeo circuit with an Australian cowboy named Jared seemed like an easy out for the time being. He wasn’t the greatest guy,and truth be told she wasn’t exactly head over heels for him either. The one she really wanted to take for a ride was Colby McKay. Resident bad boys of the circuit Colby and his buddies Trevor and Edgard were known for their one night stands, tag teaming willing buckle bunnies and leaving them in the morning. It wasn’t until Colby approached Channing after she won a wet t-shirt contest, that she realized he is more interested in her than she realized. One hot kiss on the dance floor from Colby was all it took to get Channing hooked on that hot cowboy. After finding out that Jared was not the man she thought he was, Channing takes Colby up on an offer she couldn’t refuse.

Colby McKay new that Jared was no good for Channing. Even with all of the buckle bunnies willing to help him blow off some steam, he still couldn’t keep his mind off of Channing Kinkaid. One taste of her was all it took and he knew he had to have her. After finding out that jerk of a boyfriend had finally shown his true colors, Colby offers Channing a week traveling on the circuit with him and his two buddies but with one condition. Channing had to do anything any of them asked, whenever they asked, without questioning. One week of pushing limits and fulfilling unlived fantasies was what he offered and Channing willingly agreed. He was in heaven! Coming from a family that tried to control his choices, Colby was happy to be rebelious and forget the responsibilities that called to him back home. After plenty of ropes, spankings, one on one, two on one, and lots of kisses is between, Colby realizes he is no longer interested in buckle bunnies. When his feelings for Channing start to present themselves, he realizes that maybe a week isn’t long enough. 

Unfortunately, Colby is not that best at explaining his feeling and nearly loses his chance by pushing her away. When tragedy strikes, Channing is forced to decide if she can handle the cowboy way, or if she should do as she is expected and go back to the city to live a life she feels is not her own.

All I can say is that I have fallen in love and in lust with this series! Colby McKay is one hot cowboy that can make a girl melt into a puddle simply by staring at them and saying “strip”. The power and passion that all three cowboys and Channing show for one another is heart pounding and the scenes had me begging to be the one tied up and rode hard. The characters are honest and are easy to identify with and your heart will break with them when they suffer. Colby is the fun loving commanding cowboy looking for that one women to settle him down. Trevor is that happy go lucky honky tonk hunk that is trying to live up to his family’s expectations. Edgard is the quiet Brazilian beauty that has a secret deep inside his heart. Each one of them has a story and you will fall in love with all of them as each page turns. I also love that we are slowly introduced to the families that will become part of the books that follow and am already anxious about the various family members and how their stories will be told. This is a must read, and if you are not a fan of cowboy stories, you surely will be after this red hot ride at the rodeo. I couldn’t put it down!!!
