How the Cowboy Was Won
by Lori Wilde
Ember has always been a bit unconventional, or in the unkind words of her ex-husband, outrageous. Her best friend Ranger never thought she needed to be tamed and now that he's back after a long astronomy project in Australia, he finds himself wondering why he and Ember never took their relationship to the next level.
Ember also finds herself starstruck by her bestie, but also highly jealous of all the women who are now throwing themselves at the sexy astrophysicist. Both circle the other like binary stars, but will Ember's past relationship regrets and Ranger's future work prospects keep them from exploring their own outer limits?
Enough puns for you? I really enjoyed the cute story, didn't really get the cover AT ALL. I mean, Ranger is part owner of a ranch in Texas, but that is about the extent of his cowboy. He's a dorky, sexy scientist. Maybe throw a lab coat on him? I'm fine with the hat.
Also, Wilde's sexy times scenes veer giggle inducing territory due to the sheer amount of similes, metaphors, and puns. There is almost two pages of star/space/planet related imagery whilst some downtown action. I appreciate a good laugh, but I don't think that was the intention?
That said, I did enjoy this tale, even if cowboy romances are not quite my thing.
Thank you to Avon for the ARC!
