Publisher's Summary

Roped In: A Blacktop Cowboys® Novella

Ambition has always been his biggest downfall...until he meets her.

World champion bulldogger Sutton Grant works hard on the road, but his quiet charm has earned him the nickname "The Saint" because he's never been the love 'em and leave 'em type with the ladies. When he's sidelined by an injury, he needs help keeping his horse in competition shape, but he fears trying to sweet-talk premier horse trainer London Gradsky is a losing proposition - because the woman sorta despises him.

London is humiliated when her boyfriend dumps her for a rodeo queen. What makes the situation worse? She's forced to see the lovebirds on the rodeo circuit every weekend. In an attempt to save face, London agrees to assist the notoriously mild but ruggedly handsome Sutton Grant with his horse training problem on one condition: Sutton has to pretend to be her new boyfriend. But make believe doesn't last long between the sassy cowgirl and the laid-back bulldogger.

When the attraction between them ignites, London learns that sexy Sutton is no Saint when that bedroom door closes; he's the red-hot lover she's always dreamed of. The more time they spend together, the more Sutton realizes he wouldn't mind being roped and tied to the rough-and-tumble cowgirl for real....

Great Book - Hot Content - Perfect Novella

SPOILER alert

I read these out of order, so some of the characters have been mentioned in books prior to this one. However, even though this is a series, Roped In the novella can be listened to as a standalone, in my opinion.


Sutton Grant, also known as "the Saint", is the nicest kind of cowboy. He signs autographs for the young men who look up to them to him as a world champion bulldogger. He also has the reputation of being sweet, even though his ladies are nothing but one night stands.

On the same circuit London wants to die of mortification after her boyfriend dumps her for a petite and pretty rodeo "queen."

To get back at him London hooks up with Sutton for a couple of weeks only – of saving face in exchange for some horse training - the training turns out to be some pretty hot action!

As always is the question, will this continue even after the arrangement/contract has been fulfilled?

Lorelei James has written yet another fantastic, contemporary romance – complete with strong language and mature themes.

Scarlet Chase does a lovely job portraying the characters. I think that Scarlet makes all of the women sound very similar but I really enjoy how she and how she performs and gets into the male characters. They all sound unique!

Meh

The narration was weird it sounded like two different voices some times in the same sentence, very distracting. It felt to drawn out for a novella get to the good stuff

I Picked Up This Book Because: Needed a short book for #24B4Monday Readathon

The Characters:

Sutton Grant: World champion bulldogger sidelined by injury
London Gradsky: Top notch horse trainer


The Story:

Sutton Grant has decided to retire after an accident that almost left him paralized. The problem is he hasn’t told anyone else yet. He recruits London to get his horse back into shape to be sold. London request Sutton to pretend to be her beau so she can make her ex jealous. They discover they have real chemistry, no pretending needed.

Sutton and London askew a good couple. I enjoyed listening to their story. The amount of cursing in this book surprised/bothered me. Not sure why guess I’m getting old.

The Random Thoughts:




4 Stars

4 Roped In Stars

Awe! I love when the woman is the aggressor. London sees Sutton again after a few years and the chemistry blew up!

Oh Sutton played coy for a little while but he couldn’t resist the sexy woman for long.

I liked how there was some drama because this story just kind of needed it.

I really liked the narration. :)

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Good but tamer than the others.

Kept hinting at Sutton’s darker side in the bedroom, would have liked to see a longer story showing what he was like. He was such an interesting guy I wanted to see more.

Short and sweet cowboy romance featuring bulldog her Sutton Grant

Some sexy scenes but mostly a short romance with a little drama about Sutton’s career change and his dealings with a sharp tongued, sassy horse trainer. Only one earlier couple from the series puts in an appearance which is a bit disappointing but it makes this a complete stand alone story. Few additional characters so the dialog doesn’t badly tax the range of narrator Scarlet Chase but the performance would have been better with a male narrator adding to her performance.

Hotness

London and Sutton are Hotness!! Lorelei James books are pure raw hotness and I love Scarlet Chase as narrator 💕💕

Shocking Narration

What would have made Roped In better?

Rope In would have been better if the narrators voice didn't keep changing through out the book.

Any additional comments?

Whoever did the voice editing should be sacked because the narrator's voice changing constantly is annoying.
