Raising Kane (Rough Riders, #9)

by Lorelei James

When a patch of ice sends attorney Ginger Paulson head-over-high-heels down a flight of stairs, she has no one to care for her young son and her invalid father--until lethally sexy Kane McKay shows up at the hospital, determined to prove his cowboy chivalry.

When a patch of ice sends attorney Ginger Paulson head-over-high-heels down a flight of stairs, she has no one to care for her young son and her invalid father. Rancher Kane McKay has followed the Little Buddies mentoring program's cardinal rule-- hands off his Little Buddy Hayden's mama. But one look at Ginger's bruised body and Kane is through watching the stubborn woman take care of everyone but herself. He throws out doctor's orders and issues his own demands-- her full sexual submission. Will Ginger realizes Kane's caring nature extends beyond just fulfilling her physical needs?

This was another disappointment for me, which makes two in a row (I did not like All Jacked Up). In essence, I found the whole book to be tame. I was not excited about Kane and Ginger. Though there was a bit of a spark between them, the sex scenes were bland, IMO. I think Ms. James can write some scorching scenes, but I felt it was lacking this time around. I also thought this book was too predictable and the storylines are starting to seem the same; the cowboys are all dominant in the bedroom and the heroines seemed scared/unsure and don’t want to admit that they like it. There was no true conflict between them; they just didn’t talk to each other. There was a lot of internal dialogue going on and not enough face to face conversations. Kane didn’t think he was good enough for her since Ginger was a lawyer. Ginger was a bit weary of Kane because of his former playboy ways. I really hope the next one is better. If not, I might be done with this series unfortunately.
