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.
