Kimber’s Review – Rode Hard by Lauren Fraser

What this book about?
Six weeks surrounded by hot, rugged cowboys doesn’t sound like hard work at all. In fact, writer Kat McCray is going to enjoy this assignment. One look at sexy ranch owner Justin Shaw and she knows exactly how she plans to spend her downtime. In his bed.

Justin works hard and has the body to prove it. And he plays even harder—him and his two best friends. He’s more than happy to help Kat explore her darkest fantasies…especially the ones that involve all four of them.

Kat’s walk on the wild side is only temporary—Arizona is a lifetime away from her real life in New York. But she can’t deny she’s starting to fall for Justin. He’s sexy as hell and sweet as sin. And their sexual experiences with his two friends are nothing short of scorching. That doesn’t change the fact she’s going home at the end of her stay. Unless she can somehow turn this fantasy into reality

Kimber’s Thoughts:
I love a good Western Romance, especially when it delivers on the steamy sex and Rode Hard did just that. My only complaint…..I wanted more.

City slicker girl, cowboy- rancher- rodeo star-playboy guy made for the perfect match in this hotter than the Arizona sun short story by Lauren Fraser. Kat is lucky enough to spend six weeks on a ranch in order to write an article for her job where she works as a sports writer. When she arrives to meet the co-owner of the ranch where she’ll be staying, a local bull riding competition is taking place and Kat is immediately drawn to the sex on a stick, Justin. The feeling is mutual as Justin sets out to have Kat’s long legs wrapped around him before the night is over.

One of the things I particularly enjoyed about this book is it didn’t feel rushed which is hard to do in my opinion when the story is short. They do come together rather fast, but when sparks fly it’s hard to ignore, right? We’ve got a strong heroine who knows what she wants and an equally strong hero who is persistent enough to not take NO for an answer. This is not a HEA but a HFN which only makes it seem more believable.

The writing and story were good with great, likable characters and plenty of hotter than hot sex that make for a great, fast read. There are plenty of supporting characters and I’m keeping my fingers crossed it turns into a series. Ms. Fraser was a new to me author and more than proves she can write a HOT book with a great story, and I can’t wait to read more of her.

Treat yourself with this one, I know I did.
