Rodeo Champion Tanna Barker is facing some rough times
physically and emotionally after she is severely injured in
a Barrel Race, and her horse killed. After mounting medical
and therapy bills suck up all her available income, she
takes a job offered by friends to help her get back on her
feet. At a bar in a small town in Wyoming, she picks up a
handsome, well built stranger for a one-night-stand. Tanna
sneaks out of his bed the next morning, and heads to her new
job at the Split Rock Resort.
Veterinarian Augustus Fletcher is no stranger to
one-night-stands. His busy practice has him running all
over a large area of territory to take care of the farm
animals needing his care. A night here or there with a woman
he meets in a bar is about all he has time for. This one
that got away, however, is something special; someone he
would like to get to know better, if she hadn't snuck out on
him. Fate intervenes, and he runs into Tanna while on the
job at a local ranch. This time, Fletch is determined to
get to know Tanna better, a lot better.
Tanna is still nursing the wounds of her injuries, both
physical and mental. The anguish she feels over causing the
death of her beloved horse is haunting her, making her fear
to even be near horses, much less try to ride one again.
Fletch has become quite taken with Tanna, to the point where
he is looking to build a real relationship with her, and
also a future with her. Unfortunately for him, Tanna is
only in Muddy Gap and at the Resort for the short term; and
has plans to blow the small Wyoming town when she gets
herself pulled back together again and can head back to the
Rodeo circuit.
TURN AND BURN is a very good story, a nice addition to
Lorelei James Blacktop Cowboys series; and quite the
steamy read. Six years have passed since the series
started, and true to form for a Lorelei James novel, there
are now lots of babies and pregnancies all around. Tanna is
quite appealing as a down on her luck woman trying to pull
herself back together and get back to the rodeo world; but
Fletch steals the show in this story. readers have come
to know Fletch over the books in the series as a kind man;
and a very good, dedicated veterinarian. In this, his own
story, he shows himself to be not only a hunky alpha male,
but a lonely man looking for more than just the one-night
relationships that he has been trapped in for so long.
Fletch just needs to convince Tanna to take a chance on him,
and on love. TURN AND BURN is a sexy and heartfelt addition
to the
series, and a treat for the fans.
