Hey, Cowgirl, Need a Ride?

De: Baxter Black

Narrado por: Baxter Black

A down-and-out rodeo champion follows a mysterious woman on the run with half a million dollars back to the bright lights of Las Vegas in the sequel to Hey, Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky?

“Baxter Black is Mark Twain served up with a little Groucho Marx.”—The Weekly Standard

Two years after he won the average at the Las Vegas National Finals Rodeo by riding Kamikaze, the world’s most unridable bull, Lick is down on his luck, working on a ranch in the remote Nevada desert with Al Bean, an ornery old cowboy. Then into their lives crashes Teddie Arizona—T.A.—a woman of mystery who crawls out of the wreckage of her plane with a $500,000 secret.

When T.A.’s “husband,” F. Rank Pantaker, dispatches his henchmen to retrieve the money—and the girl—Lick and Al find themselves trying to outrun the bad guys and protect a damsel in distress. Is T.A. out to cheat her cheatin’ husband, or is she really just trying to stop an illegal scheme cooked up by F. Rank and the infamous Ponce de Crayon, Vegas’s most glamorous tiger tamer? Is she playing Lick—or is it love?

Will Al Bean’s cockeyed schemes, an able assist from Cody, Lick’s cowboy sidekick, a brigade of old-time rodeo reunioneers, and twenty miles of duct tape be enough to stop F. Rank’s nefarious schemes, reform a career party girl, and change the hearts and minds of ten of the world’s most thrill-seeking billionaires? Can Cody keep Lick from climbing onto raging bull Kamikaze’s back one more time? Can true love triumph over shoot-outs at the not-so-okay corral and close encounters with white tigers?

With its colorful cast of characters, rip-roaring humor, and inventive language, this caper will have you riding high long after it gallops to a thunderously satisfying conclusion.©2005 Baxter Black; (P)2005 Random House, Inc.

Praise for Baxter Black

“He could make a dead man sit up and laugh.”—Washington Post Book World

“Humorist and poet of the ranch and the barnyard, Baxter Black has variously been dubbed a latter-day Will Rogers, the dean of cowboy bards, and the Art Buchwald of the Stetson-and-Levi’s crowd.”—The Christian Science Monitor

“If you like folksy and smart, earthy and sentimental, Black’s your man, and if you like cowboy poetry, no one does it better.”—Chicago Booklist

Fun Read

Excellent read. This has all the pieces. Girl that needs a rescue, downtrodden hero.
You know the rest. Lots of humor and action.

Baxter Black at his best

only Baxter Black can read his own stories the way they were meant to be heard. Another success!! Story is funny and fast moving.

Black is Back!

I love Baxter Black. The first time I heard of him I was attending an education conference and he was the guest speaker for the luncheon part of the day.He had us all in stitches. What qualified him to speak in front of the entire states school governing boards? Well he's married to a school teacher and has children. That with the uncanny ability to use common sense. It was a breath of fresh air. I was hooked and have searched him out every chance I get. I don't get down to my old stomping grounds in Southeastern Az much anymore. But when I do I try to stop in to The Cowboy Way in Benson, Az to see whats new and with Baxter Black I'm never disappointed.

One of Baxter's Best

An awesome listen for anyone who likes rodeo Baxter's B...s..., or comedic escapades. it's fun!

So fun.

Excellent story. Characters are believable but with depth. Black reading it himself is the whipped cream and cherry on top.

Loved this.
