Romance | Romance Erotica Sensual

Matthew Tredway, a noted skilled horse trainer and author arrives at the Last Chance Ranch in Wyoming to work his wonders on the unmanageable stallion, Houdini. Not only does he have the challenge of conquering the beast, butis also faced with a bigger challenge from the new temporary ranch cook, Aurelia Imogene Smith from Nebraska.

Aurelia is a gourmet cook serving meals to the ranch hands wanting simple and hardy vittles. Aurelia has taken a leave from her job in Nebraska as a bank clerk to substitute as cook for her aunt, Mary Lou, who is venturing on her 3 week honeymoon after marriage to one of the ranch hands. The Chance family also sponsors a residential summer program and currently has 8 teenage boys learning the ropes of a farm during the summer for Aurelia to feed.

One look for both is instant sexual chemistry. Aurelia sees a gorgeous tall drink of water. Agreeing to consult with Aurelia to tamper down the menu for the hands, this soon becomes secondary to Matthew's primary goal. Matthew sees Aurelia as dynamite while she is totally turned on by him. Whipped cream images, strip poker and gourmet food becomes more than just meeting the palate needs of the cowhands. Sizzling uninhibited sex reveals Aurelia as an unexpected aggressor when meeting Matthew's sexual expectations. Matthew seems to bring out the "wild woman" in her.

It soon becomes apparent as the 3 weeks near the end, their agreed upon " love 'em and leave 'em affair" isn't working. The world traveler Matthew walks away distraught when the stay-at- home and insecure Aurelia refuses to follow. Devastated and unhappy, Aurelia is second guessing her decision now that Matthew has most likely already left the country. Aurelia had not counted on such pain when letting go.

LEAD ME HOME is totally amusing, sexy and a real hoot. Aurelia and Matthew think they can have a fling and walk away unscathed. Hang on to your seat and read their sexual exploits at your own risk! LEAD ME HOME is well written and very entertaining. It definitely held my attention and I'm sure it will hold yours as well.

Thanks to his skills with difficult horses, trainer Matthew Tredway has traveled all over the world. And his new gig? The Last Chance Ranch. But after a chance glance at the ranch's hot little blond cook, Matthew's libido is immediately set to sizzle! Chef Aurelia Smith has been trying to tempt the ranch hands with mouth-watering concoctions, with less-than-stellar results. But when Matthew is sent in to intervene, his attraction to Amelia boils over. Before long, they're cooking up a storm, in and out of the bedroom. But Aurelia knows that while she might have led her horseman to bed, she can't make him stay….
