The cover of this book is a stunner. All you see is the hard, luscious abs of a man. Something to dream about, and wish you could run your fingers up and down that nice chest. I admit this cover is wonderful. Perfect to capture readers attention. The cover almost oozes sex appeal.Starting out readers are quickly introduced to the main and secondary characters. Trace and Ava are the main with several secondary supporting characters. I am still trying to understand why Trace was given the `Last of the Red-Hot Cowboys' title? For me this was never fully explained. What makes Trace, Saint or Declan so special?Trace is just about the last of the red-hot cowboys.The mayor, Judy, wants Trace and his buddies to train three females how to bull fight (rodeo clown). This is an interesting concept but still, this is not something many females would be interested in learning. Bull fighting is more than just making the crowd laugh. The person need to be able to keep from getting grouged, help keep the bull rider safe, and keep their self safe.I know this is fiction and fiction can portray anything the writer or reads wants. But it really gets to me to see anyone speak this way about someone who served our country.Rebel tossed a pitchfork into the corner, startling some horses in nearby boxes. "I don't know, but those Outlaws aren't the princes of H*ll, the way everybody treats them like. They came back from serving with their heads big, and some decorations, and folks around here practically genuflect when they walk down the street."No matter what if you did not serve to help keep peace, freedom, and the right to live how ever you please then you do not have the right to down talk any who has served. People like this needs to serve or shut up.Okay sorry stepping down from my high horse (yes, pun intended).I love the nickname for the `bad' female in town. Poison Ivy. This is just so laughable. I have this image of a green looking female with leaves instead of hair.Judy looked at her sheriff with concern. "Don't you dare allow Poison Ivy to win!"One of the best parts I read. Trace putting two of the `Horsesh*tmen' in his place.He walked steadily, as he would during any other ambush when he wasn't a civilian, and wrapped his arm around Jake's neck. Jake struggled but couldn't get loose, and Trace buried his head in the horse trough, holding Jake down to the count of fifty. He let Jake up, let him have a gasp of air, shoved him down again. One more time for good measure, then he tossed Jake to the ground. Jake lay in the dirt, rolling onto his back and staring up at the sky as he gasped for breath.Grabbing Buck's head, he dragged him over to a nail that was hanging out of the wall. "See that? Your eye is fixing to be wearing that. Where's that roofy crap you put in my buddy's beer?""Don't know what you're talking about," Buck gasped, trying to talk past Trace's crushing of his larynx and realizing he was serious about impaling his eye.Here Saint stated it perfectly."We don't do `myself,'" Saint said sternly. "There is no `myself' in team."So many people forget this especially in relationships. No matter what a relationship is a team. Working with each other, bending a little and always making sure the other team members have not given up.Overall this was a good first start to a series. While reading I did feel some aspects were missing like it was a second or third in a series. But it could just be me.The plot was well executed with out having to deal with secondary plots over taking the main story. I do not know how many books are planned for this series but I hope Declan and Saint each get a story. Would also love to see Steel and Judy have a separate story, while Ivy and `the horsemen' has justice for there interference.The problems I had with the book is just that problems "I" had. This does not take away from the book or mean that you will not enjoy it. I enjoyed the book.
