Saddled and Spurred (Black Top Cowboys #2) by Lorelei James

Do NOT pass on reading Saddled and Spurred if you did not like Corralled as much as you thought you would (BTW I LOVED Corralled). Saddled and Spurred is an AWESOME READ and can be read as a stand alone.  I honestly didn’t want it to end!!!!

This beauty is no greenhorn – and she’s about to rope the man of her dreams. 

Cattleman Bran Turner is left shorthanded during busy calving season when a bull tramples his hired hand. Rural Wyoming isn’t exactly a hotbed of qualified candidates, and the only applicant for the position is the pampered town beauty, Harper Masterson. The curvy cowgirl gets under Bran’s skin at every turn, but with no other options, he reluctantly hires her. 

When sexual sparks ignite, down-on-her-luck Harper enjoys convincing Bran that not only is she capable of pulling calves, feeding livestock, and handling backbreaking ranch chores, but she doesn’t mind getting down and dirty, either. Harper also discovers the hot-bodied cowboy isn’t all work and no horseplay…and he’s got more than a few tricks up his sleeve.

Bran will learn quickly that Harper is no country mouse-and that she might just have what it takes to stick around for the long haul.


DiDi’s Review:
This book has it all hot cowboys, steam, hot sex, drama, laughs, oh the laughs. LJ has introduced at least 10 more men and 6 more women for HOPEFULLY future stories. I can’t wait!!! I love the way Bran describes how they all came to be such close friends.

Harper’s story touched me on a personal level, my daughter will be going off to college in August and I can so identify with how Harper is feeling about her sister graduating. Harper’s story inspired me to start putting myself first once in awhile.    LJ has a way of penning emotions so clear, it puts you right there in her books, and not just from the woman’s point of view, she clearly gives us what the man is feeling as well. And she always has an ACTUAL story to go along with all the hot sex. 

LJ’s Cowgirl Up And Ride from her Rough Riders series has always been my #1 favorite book ever, well Saddled And Spurred has just nudged it over so it can share my #1 spot. 


Wrangled and Tangled, Black Top Cowboys #3, comes out November 2011 and I’m chompin’ at the bit to get my hands on it.
