At the Cowboy's Mercy

Taming the Cowboy, Book 1

De: Emma Jay

Narrado por: Tracy Marks

Kennedy Stacey couldn't be more down on her luck. Her father, a rodeo cowboy, recently passed away after a long, expensive illness. The medical bills, combined with his habit of gambling and the fact that she had to quit her job to take care of him, has left her homeless and with no place to go but back to the rodeo. She tracks down Luke Delaney, one of her father's protégés, and asks for help.

Luke Delaney thought of Red Stacey as a father. Kennedy didn't call him when Red was sick, so he didn't get to say good-bye to the man he loved like a father. He can't forgive her for that, and turns her away.

But when she turns to his brother Liam for help instead, Luke steps forward, partly because of his concern of how his brother the player will treat her, and partly because he knows her father would want him to.

Since she's homeless, she has to stay in Luke's tiny RV. At first close quarters lead to sparring as they fight their attraction - and she fights to have some kind of independence when she's leaning so heavily on him. But nature can only hold out so long, and despite their better judgment, they give in to their desires.

But Kennedy is afraid he's taking her body in payment, and he's afraid of the feelings he has for her as he gets to know her again, the feelings he hasn't let himself feel since they were 16 years old.

At the Cowboy's Mercy

I enjoyed this love story and the characters. I enjoyed the story during the second half more than the first. There was quite a bit of angst in the first half.

✫✫ 3.5 Stars ✫✫

This was a great short story. I would have loved if it had been longer but I really liked the story line. I love a friends/enemies to lovers story and this was little bit of both. It was short and sweet and pretty Hot too!

Tracy Marks was great as always! She is the reason I picked up this series!

At the Cowboys Mercy

I personally would have liked a little more story line to go with the sex. The story base was really good. The narration was really good.

3.5 Cowboy up Stars

This is a feel good short story.
For being a short story its really good and well written, I was left wanting more.

Kennedy and Luke grew up together. Luke had his eyes set on Kennedy only at the time Kennedy had eyes for Luke’s brother Liam.
A few years later, Kennedy finds herself down on her luck. She asks Luke for a job.
I really enjoyed Kennedy’s character not only does she dust herself off and get back on track. But she does it with grace and dignity.

Luke I just a rodeo cowboy who wants to make enough money so he can life off his land with a women on his arm, is that Kennedy?
I did find Luke to be very jealous. That part wasn’t my thing but it worked for the story.
I enjoyed this fast paced short of a cowboy and his lady love and I want more I say!

I really enjoyed the narrator as well brings the story to life.
