Saddle bronco riding is definitely a man's contest but
Gemma
O'Donnell is no shrinking violet or tender gentile female.
She has important goals -- one is to be the second woman to
win
this contest and second is to have the prize money to buy
her
own spread. She is determined to remain focused on the job
at hand which means avoiding distractions. Gemma is also
somewhat superstitious -- probably like a lot of the
circuit
riders. She has an entire routine which she follows
religiously and so far it seems to be working for her.
The entire ride is eight seconds with no room for errors.
So when Trace Coleman insinuates himself into Gemma's on
the road life she has many reasons to avoid this sexy
cowboy. He is rumored to collect rodeo groupies and Gemma
isn't interested in joining that collection. For this six
month series of events Trace is probably going to be one
of her major competitors. After just a few events they are
basically neck to neck. But even more disturbing is the
more time spent on this circuit together the stronger their
mutual attraction grows.
Even the toughest cowboy or cowgirl can't fight an amazing
chemistry that simmers to a full boil with very little
work. Gemma and Trace make an amazing hot couple but
beneath their budding, dare we say, relationship is a
gnawing shared fear of vulnerability and commitment. They
are in it to win it. Both have their eye on the prize.
But at some point the contest takes a major detour with
much more at stake than the bronco riding prize money.
Enter a real surprise -- a baby Trace hasn't known exists
and the dynamics change. Now the real fun begins.
Love it. Carolyn Brown's cowboys always jump off the page
and are beyond yummy, sexy and daring. She developed an
equally yummy, sexy and daring cowgirl in JUST A COWBOY AND
HIS BABY and
even though they are quite equally talented and self-
confident in their riding ability -- they are also equally
shaky
in their personal lives.
Best intentions are no match for hot sex and nobody writes
steamy scenes better than Brown. Her stories just get
better and better winning new fans with each one. JUST A
COWBOY AND HIS BABY is a
delightful read with something for everyone. I love my
cowboys and there are none better than Carolyn Brown's.
SUMMARY
She's Got Her Eyes on the Prize... Gemma O'Donnell wasn't the first woman to win the ProRodeo
buckle for bronc riding, but she was darn well going to be
the second. What she didn't count on was her main
competition sweeping her off her feet. He'll Do Whatever It Takes To
Win... Trace Coleman isn't really after a
title—he needs the cash prize to buy his dream ranch. But
one sexy, determined cowgirl keeps getting in his way. In
his effort to take her out of the running, he risks losing
both the title—and his heart. They're Both in
For a Little Surprise... Everybody's world
is turned upside down when a pint-sized bundle of joy gets
dropped right into Trace's lap...and suddenly all the stakes
are higher.
