Romance Erotica Sensual
In the highly anticipated sixth book of the Blacktop
Cowbo
series, Lorelei James delivers a smoking hot rock star with
all the right moves. Devin McClain is the world's most
popular country star. Though he's worked hard for the
success he has achieved, the fame aspect to his job also
brings a lot of trouble for him.
When an attack meant for him occurs on his tour bus, Devin
knows that it's his fault and he requires more security, but
he doesn't want it to affect his privacy either.
Enter Liberty Masterson, younger sister to Harper and a
former soldier. After being honourably discharged from
service, Liberty focuses her attention on providing security
to those who need it. As protection for Devin's cross-
country tour, it puts Liberty in very closer quarters with
the rock star.
Liberty has been a character that I enjoyed reading about
from the previous books. However, she seemed a bit tougher
than I remembered in this one. As she tries to fight her
lust for Devin, it puts her into a pricklier mood. At first,
I thought she resembled too much of a rock, but as the story
goes on, she softens and that is one of the great things
about this book. James never shies away from the emotional
vulnerabilities of her characters.
When Liberty and Devin first meet, there are a lot of
misconceptions and assumptions made about one another. James
takes her time as she develops this romance, revealing their
pasts and how they have come to be as they are now. It
creates for an intimate experience that James is known for.
Of course, no Blacktop Cowboys novel is complete
without the
mentioning of sex. James has an abundance of erotically-
charged scenes in and outside of the bedroom, yet she never
forgets to strengthen her stories with character emotions,
vulnerabilities and a strong plot. These are the things that
keep me up long past my bedtime and have me coming back for
more.
SUMMARY
She’s protecting his body and guarding her heart.... Country music star Devin McClain understands there’s a
downside to life in the public eye, but the laid back Wyoming
cowboy has never imagined he’d attract crazed fans who would
do anything to garner his attention. When veiled threats
become real, he agrees to hire a discreet security detail.
But Devin is shocked when that bodyguard is a hard-bodied
woman. He’s even more stunned to be attracted to the
steely-eyed stunner. Former soldier Liberty Masterson’s return to civilian life
has been wrought with challenges until she lands a job with
a prestigious security firm. But when she agrees to provide
personal protection during a cross-country tour, she doesn’t
realize she has signed up to masquerade as the playboy
star’s girlfriend. Though she’s more comfortable in combat
boots than high heels, she has no choice but to appear to be
the sexy groupie Devin prefers. Living in close quarters causes the chemistry between them
to ignite, and Devin realizes he wants to turn their charade
of a romance into reality. Although Liberty surrenders to
his every whim behind closed doors, she fears the sexy
country star doesn’t see the real her; and Devin can’t help
but worry when the tour ends that there might not be enough
between them to build something that won’t fade away....
