Cowgirl Up and Ride (Rough Riders, #3)

by Lorelei James

Ridin’ the edge of lust is fun…until someone falls in love.

For years, goody-two boots AJ Foster wished her dream man Cord McKay would see her beyond the girl in pigtails. Now that she’s old enough to stake her claim on him, she challenges the cowboy to teach her how to ride—and she doesn’t mean horses.

Saddled with running the McKay ranch, dealing with the wild behavior of his brother and cousins, and raising his young son alone, divorced rancher Cord has sworn off all women. Yet AJ’s innocence and sexual curiosity is a temptation he can’t resist.

From the start of their bedroom games, they’re both aware the pull between them goes deeper than just smokin’ hot sex. Although the sexy cowgirl sets his blood ablaze, Cord is determined to withstand AJ’s efforts to lasso his battered heart. But AJ isn’t willing to settle for less than the whole shootin’ match with her western knight.

Sweet AJ has the power to heal—or heel—the gruff cowboy…unless Cord’s pride keeps him from admitting their relationship is more than a simple roll in the hay.

A solid 4.5 for me. I fell in love with Cord as quickly as AJ did. He is a bad ass and I did not see that coming at all. This is a very layered story...so much more than the previous 2. Aj and Cord of course, AJ and her family/land, Colt (who is an issue all by himself), Kade and Kane and all of the other McKays make an appearance somehow. The beginning of this series felt shallow for me and I did not anticipate it getting this deep. I'm pleased that this series is getting better.
