I have read all of the Rough Rider books. Each time I read a book I think that is my favourite!
Kane was the town's bad boy with all the ladies chasing and catching him - for 1 night only! He and his cousins had no regrets and not much thought for others, until a freak accident changed them.
Kane would love to settle down and raise a family, but everyone still sees him as the wild one.
Ginger is a single parent to Hayden and is also a carer for her father. In between all of this she is an accident prone lawyer!
Kane knows Hayden though the buddy program, and although he would love to form a relationship with his Mother he feels she has way too much class for him.
Ginger helps Kane realise he is far more than a "simple cowboy" (his words) and they both hope they can have the "happy family" package.
Already started reading the next book in the series - can't get enough!!!

Raising Kane
9 May 2011
Format:Paperback
You would think that you would get tired reading about these cowboys and their women, but believe me you don't. This is another wonderful book by Ms. James. I absolutly love the way she bring in the couples and their families from the previous books, you also get to see how much the charactors grow. When you first meet Kane you think that there is no way this man can redeem himself but he does in spades. I just started reading the rough riders books in April and now I'm current, can't wait till the next book comes out.

One of my new favorite romance novels!
18 May 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Rough Riders book #9, Raising Kane, is one of my favorites in the series. Rancher Kane McKay was one of the wild McKay boys for years, raising hell while seducing most of the women in the tri-county area. But over the last two years, Kane has calmed down, and joined the little buddies program. When Hayden, Kane's little buddy calls him because his mom is in the hospital, Kane rushes to Ginger's side. While Kane and Ginger shared a brief kiss months back, nothing has been said of it since; neither wants to jeopardize the relationship Kane and Hayden have built through the little buddies program. But with Ginger's immobilizing injury, Kane volunteers to move in for the weekend and take care of the single mom and her son. Living together in such close quarters, it is unlikely they'll be able to control the heat that has built between them. While Kane and Ginger may not face all the drama that some of the previous Rough Riders lovers have had to deal with, I thought the change made this book very romantic. The story didn't deal with battling personal demons, it dealt with good old fashioned romance, and falling in love.
I think this book would be a good start to the Rough Riders series, because neither Kane nor Ginger are bringing in emotional baggage that has been built up over the previous books. There is a scene with Kane and Ginger in book #7, but nothing critical to Raising Kane. If you like the romance of this book, you can always backtrack on the series. A note about the chronological order of the stories, book #9 actually lands after story #7 Shoulda been a Cowboy, and before book #8 All Jacked Up. If you're curious about the Rough Riders series, I've read most of the books so you can check out my reviews for more info.

Fun and Hot
12 May 2011
Format:Paperback
I've read a few of James' books so I'm always impressed that she doesn't write the same storyline over and over. The sex is fun and hot as usual. She also gives it some cheek (no pun intended) so not every sex scene is an emotionally ridden encounter. Just be aware that her books get raunchy so if you don't like down and dirty sex her books aren't for you.
She also makes her characters seem more real by giving them flaws. Even though this story has an element of "bad boy turned good" Kane isn't perfect just because he's changed some of his ways. Nothing is more annoying than a story with a perfect princess or a man that went from a "bad boy" to some impossibly perfect upstanding citizen.
It's refreshing that Ginger is acknowledged to be smarter than Kane but other than a small moment of insecurity she's not in a perpetual state of stroking his ego. I also like that Ginger has a different body type than the usual heroine.
The one thing that bothers me (small *spoiler alert*)is that when unplanned pregnancy happens in her books abortion is never even discussed. Since the rest of the time James doesn't shy away from her characters discussing difficult life choices and problems, it seems remiss of her not to at least bring it up.
Overall it's a fun read. I can't wait to get my Kindle so I can get the rest of her books. This book stands alone but it's fun to read some of the others to learn about the secondary characters in this book.
