BLURB:
Cowboys are a
different breed...
They work hard,
play hard and love harder.
It's all about
the ride, until the right woman
makes them
fall.
BLURB:
Twyla Taylor is one frustrated cowgirl.
She's not winning at barrel racing or in love. She's spent ten years nursing a
crush on her brother's best friend, Ryan Easter, who thinks of her as no more
than his little sister. When Twyla catches Ryan with yet another no-good buckle
bunny, and calls him out, he tells her to get a life, and that is exactly what
she decides to do. One that does not include a buckle-bunny-chasing cowboy with
a bad attitude, or an overbearing older brother.
Ryan Easter is one frustrated cowboy.
He's winning every night at bronc riding, and has a different woman in every
city. Mostly so he can keep his best friend's fiery little sister, and his
desire for her, at bay. Since she grew those proud little breasts of hers, and
mile-long legs, Ryan has had to fight his attraction to her. If her brother
knew what he was thinking, he would kill Ryan, if her daddy didn't first. Ryan
valued the surrogate family the Taylor's provided him with too much to ever go
there with their youngest member.
His diversion techniques work like a
charm, until one night he pushes her too far, and Twyla takes off. Ryan knows
he has to find her quickly and apologize, or face his best friend's wrath. He
finds Twyla in Dallas and decides she's definitely gone cowgirl crazy. He
barely recognizes her, because his barrel-racing tomboy is wearing makeup that
looks like it was put on with a putty knife and she's working at a bar which
borders on a cowgirl strip club. When she isn't serving shots off of her
stomach, she's shaking her round ass for any man with a dollar to shove into
the waistband of her barely-there shorts.
Twyla refuses to leave with him, and Ryan
knows he better make his final arrangements, or come up with another way to
convince her and fast.
EXCERPT from COWGIRL CRAZY...
Ignoring her comment, and what had to be
her obvious discomfort, Ryan stepped forward, leaned over her to balance his
shot glass about two inches under her navel. Heather always put it at the base
of her ribcage, so a little would spill into her navel, but Ryan put his lower.
Her muscles contracted, as the cold glass touched her skin and heat zinged
through her as she thought about him licking her up to the glass, before taking
the shot.
The amber liquid sloshed in the glass,
and he frowned. “No spilling, Twy, or there will be consequences.” His eyes met
hers and his pupils were dilated almost as large as the blue irises. His
breathing came in short spurts, and she could see his pulse pounding at the
side of his throat. The look on his handsome face said he would relish
delivering those consequences. “By the time I’m done, I’ll really need that
drink.”
A shiver worked itself up her body from
her toes, and the glass wobbled. She gasped and contracted her muscles to
steady it. Agitation bristled through her. “Why don’t you just have the damned
shot then, and get on with this?” That’s what she really wanted.
His hand clamped on her ankle, and he
grinned. “Patience is a virtue, darlin’. Slow is not always a bad thing, and
I’m about to teach you that, and a lot more.” His voice was heavy with
anticipation, and his sensual threat was punctuated by his tongue making a trip
around his lips.
Her eyes followed it around and heat
sizzled along her nerves to singe her at the apex of her thighs. Maybe this is
why all those bunnies she saw leaving his trailer were smiling. They must have
had the patience he was talking about, and liked that Ryan was slow as a turtle
in his lovemaking. Twyla wasn’t sold on it yet, but deciding to try to find the
patience he asked her to have. She a huffed a breath then relaxed and uncurled
her fists.
What the hell did she know about all this,
anyway? She was green as grass at this, he knew what he was doing. Had done it
many times. Too many. “Get on with it, then,” she grumbled, settling her focus
on keeping that shot glass steady on her lower abdomen.
Ryan’s dark head appeared in her line of
vision, and Twyla gasped. His eyes met hers over the plane of her tummy, and
were filled with mischief and purpose. His hot breath tickled her thighs when
he warned, “Keep it still, Twyla. No spilling.”
He slid his hands, behind her calves, and
under her thighs to hold her hands at her sides, then turned his face to plant
a wet kiss on her inner thigh. His mouth latched there and he sucked, while his
tongue swirled on her skin. Fire zipped up to her core, her muscles contracted,
and Twyla whimpered. The glass wobbled and she knew right then she was in big
trouble.
My Review: 4.5 stars
This was a very good read. I liked that it was unpredictable. Just when you thought you knew where things were going, bam! Everything goes sideways, and something else happens. I knew that Twyla and Ryan were in love with each other, but damn. They said some really stupid things to each other, not out of spite, but from sheer gut reaction. Twyla always thought Ryan was keeping men away because he was acting like her brother, and in a way he was. But he also wasn't. He was saying them because he wanted Twyla, but didn't know how to go about that until he pushed too far and realized what he had lost.
Ryan tries to get Twyla to come home with him, but loses control, and does what he's wanted to for years. Then, there's that whole sideways thing. Happens a few times and it's not pretty any of them. Ryan is stuck between wanting to do what's right for himself and Twyla, and doing what her family expects him to do. Not an easy place to be.
I really liked that Twyla finally stood up for herself, and let everyone know she was tired of being treated like a child. She finally took control of her own life, and let everyone else know she was doing it. I loved that she was there for Ryan when he needed her most. She stood by him when it counted, stood up for him when it mattered and just was there silently dreading what she thought would always be the end. I thought the ending was fabulous, I loved both Ryan and Twyla by the end and wish them every happiness. I wish it would have gone on a bit longer, just to get more of them.
