In the novella RODEO RIDERS, barrel racer Jordan Shore is a
competent lady who had an accident while competing and is
returning to the rodeo. The close-knit environment means
she knows all the other RODEO RIDERS. She's determined to
make a good showing with her Quarter Horse, but her anxiety
surfaces when she meets Cougar Lighthorse unloading several
Brahma bulls. One of these bulls injured her last time
out. While it wasn't Cougar's fault, he still feels bad.
In past years, Cougar grew up working on the Shore family's
ranch, and they had to keep a distance, though Jordan
privately admired the tall, Native wrangler. Now they have
no connection, except as friends. Can something good come
of the accident? Is Jordan right to think she can still
compete? Maybe it's time to find out at this challenging
event.
One unusual factor is that the bull, Rampage, is treated as
just as much a character as anyone. This is well done and
gives us a healthy respect for the powerful creature. I
like the description of Jordan's compact living quarters in
the horsebox, and because it's that kind of earthy story,
this isn't the only place where the adults get it on.
They've both been seriously injured and recovered, but part
of the body's journey back to wholeness is finding a good
sexual relationship with the right person. Watch out for
lots of adult action and some strong language, used in this
highly masculine environment.
Vonna Harper has written other stories set in the Southwest
and she has a real feel for location and character. If you
enjoy seeing behind the scenes of events, with a strong
romance, RODEO RIDERS is for you.
When an expert takes the reins, holding back is not an
option.
Enough with the nightmares!
A year after a near-fatal run-in with a Brahma bull,
barrel
racer Jordan Shore is determined to put the trauma behind
her and get back to the circuit. As she nervously settles
her newly healed body into the saddle for her first event,
she feels eyes on her as surely as fingers on her skin.
She knows who those eyes belong to. Cougar Lighthorse.
Childhood friend. Grown-up sexual fantasy. Owner of the
bull
that almost killed her.
Cougar always told himself there could never be anything
between him and his father’s boss’s daughter, but he feels
responsible for her accident. It’s up to him to guide her
back to top competition form, mentally…and physically.
Jordan draws on Cougar’s strength, basks in the heat that
flares between them. But the inner fire that drives her
back
to the arena has nothing to do with courage…and everything
to do with the one secret she can never tell him.
Warning: Cougar Lighthorse is everything no woman can
resist: equal parts Native American, expert horseman, sexy
hands, smokin’ body, and igniter of carnal fires.
