Fresh Fiction Review

Rugged Texas Cowboy
Lora Leigh

Reviewed by Sandra Wurman
Posted April 5, 2018

Romance Western

Hot, sexy cowboys infused with charm and muscles. Well that just about covers RUGGED TEXAS COWBOY by Lora Leigh that manages to heat up the pages with take-no-prisoners sex between two, albeit at times reluctant, consenting adults. It's almost as if these characters need to let off an abundance of steam and can't think of any way more efficient.

Actually this book should be called RUGGED TEXAS COWBOYS since Lora Leigh treats us to two stories, each complete with its own gorgeous cowboy.

We get to meet the two starring cowboys in the first story who are not only friends, but partners, in a small airline business where they provide plane trips for small groups or companies. So far their enterprise isn't really raking in the dough which is probably why this particular job was accepted.

Luc Jardin seemed to share feelings of angst with skeptical Jack Riley and their instincts were spot on albeit a little late to prevent a gun fight that puts both at risk when shots rang out. Luc was out for revenge and he made sure that his client Maria Angeles would pay.

However as we would learn, it wasn't Maria that was punished spending time in prison but her twin Melina. It was a case of mistaken identity. Melina was coerced by her own parents, who historically chose to defend and protect one twin over the other. Maria was the black sheep but Melina was the scapegoat. So sad and when face to face with Luc, Melina quickly realizes that he is going to train all his venom on her although repeatedly asserting she is not Maria. Her pleas fall on deaf ears, but with each day Luc gets concerned that something just does not fit.

In the second story Jack visits Ireland in search of something elusive and missing in his life. He has a successful ranch and a good life. But there's some element lacking. Jack is a womanizer who is used to loving and leaving them. Who knows what he will find abroad.

In RUGGED TEXAS COWBOY Lora Leigh reminds us once again how the mighty fall.

SUMMARY

COWBOY AND THE CAPTIVE

Melina is one of two gorgeous twin daughters, the clever and considerate one who always spared her parents the humiliation of what her sister Maria had wrought. But now, Melina is finally ready to stand up for herself and seize control of her life?until she is kidnapped by a cowboy, named Jardin, who is dead-set on settling the score with her family. There’s only one catch: In capturing Melina, this tough, rough, hunk of a man has actually found a way to unleash her greatest fantasies, body and soul. . .

COWBOY AND THE THIEF

Beautiful, spirited Angel Manning has always longed to experience the power of her ancestors’ most precious heirloom. Her mother once told her that the legendary Irish torque would lead Angel to the one man worthy of possessing her heart. But when Angel learns that her father, now a widower, has sold the torque to the notorious two-timer Jack Riley, she is furious. Of course she plans to take back what is rightfully hers, by whatever means necessary. But the fate of the ancient Druids works in mysterious ways. . .Could it be that this slick, smooth-talking cowboy was destined to satisfy Angel’s deepest desires all along?
