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.
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?
