ARC Review – One Night Rodeo (Blacktop Cowboys #4) by Lorelei James

Description:
“All it takes is one night to change a cowboy’s life…”

Barrel racer Celia Lawson knows better than to tangle with bull rider Kyle Gilchrist. The sexy cowboy’s love ’em and leave ’em ways have earned him a reputation on the rodeo circuit, and he’s always seen her as his best friend’s kid sister. But after one wild, tequila-fueled night, Celia wakes up to find out she’s gotten herself hitched–to a man she never should have married

When Celia insists on an annulment, Kyle has no good reason to say no–except he isn’t ready to let go of his new bride. But then Kyle inherits a sprawling Wyoming ranch, and seizes the opportunity to enlist Celia’s help. She agrees to lend a hand–with two conditions: He has to get up to speed as a rancher within six months; then they’ll get a divorce. And their marriage will be in name only.

Kyle gives in to Celia’s demand, yet he’s ready to prove to her he has what it takes to turn their one night rodeo into a lifetime of love.

There’s a thin line between love and hate……or is it lust and hate?

Even as kids Kyle and Celia seem to rub each other the wrong way, arguing and fighting has always been their MO. They live and breathe to butt heads. So imagine the shock when Celia wakes up the morning after a fun filled and very drunken night in Vegas only to realize they also rub each other in all the right ways, and that’s not all, now they’re……married.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas….NOT ALWAYS…

Kyle wakes up in Vegas married to his nemesis and secret crush…OH, she also just happens to be his best friends’ little sister.  On top of that he gets an emergency call from his momma, that requires him to head home without taking care of the quickie Vegas wedding. NOT that he wants to, Celia has a different opinion.  

We first met Kyle in CORRALLED (Blacktop Cowboys #1). I was ok when things didn’t work out between him and Lanie because I wanted Hank and Lanie together.  I also wanted Kyle to have his own amazing HEA and Ms. James did not disappoint.

In CORRALLED I felt the loveable, fun, sexy Kyle had some growing up to do. Let me tell you, he grew up just fine, as much as I was already in love with Kyle in CORRALLED, I fell even more in love with him in ONR. He is sexy, sweet and not willing to give up on Celia or their love.

Celia is feisty, headstrong and vulnerable. The banter between Kyle and Celia is addicting, I truly did not want their book to end.

ONR is not just a book about Kyle and Celia dealing with their newfound relationship and smoking hot sex.  Kyle and Celia have to deal with the reactions of her overprotective brothers and the fact that Kyle had a sexual relationship with her sister in law, one that included a menage with her brother (strictly MFM menage, no sex between Kyle and Hank).  Ms. James took a sensitive subject that had the potential to ruin Kyle and Celia’s relationship and worked it out without making me think “JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!” while I was reading it 🙂

ONE NIGHT RODEO is another outstanding example of the talent of Lorelei James. Once again she has written a unique story full of family, friends, conflict, romance and steamin’ hot sex. Ms. James amazes me with her ability to keep each book refreshing and different. She is one of my go to authors when I need a book I know will satisfy me from start to finish.

    I fell in love with Kyle in book one, by book two I knew these two were going to get together and I have been impatiently waiting for ONR ever since. Got the book on my kindle @ 12am read for a few hours before I fell asleep, now I’m off to finish it…:)

    Read it cover to cover in 6 hours today, I could not put it down. This is the best in the series to date, I loved the other stories but this one…WOW! Love Celia (at times she reminds me so much of Keely McKay) and Kyle, what a complex and wonderful man. Love, love, love!! Thanks for the review DiDi, agree 100 percent!
