If you're looking for heat and steam, then THE COWBOY WAY is for you . . . and for me. I confess I couldn't put down Harlequin Blaze # 177 because Candace Schuler wrote a gem.
Clay Madison is not used to being 'used'. He is used to calling the bedroom scenes. Why? A): He is a big-time rodeo star and B): he is a man! The man has a woman in every town and in every city - everywhere the rodeo plays! The man likes flash, curves, and no fuss when the party is over. So, why is this man allowing a serious-minded, prissy, skinny lady-rancher to direct his bedroom action?
Miz Jo Beth Jensen has no time for cowboys. Oh, they are fine as employees, and they are good enough to be friends, yeah they are ok, but they are just NOT bed-partners! No way, Jose! So why is she fantasizing about Clay Madison? What is it about this man she can't leave alone - this four-time Pro Rodeo championship bull-riding cowboy man?
Although her heroine is a tough little cookie, the author surrounds Jo Beth in vulnerability and the hero may bend, but under the surface Clay Madison radiates strength. This story is delightful, the banter is first-rate, and the potency is electrifying. Good golly, Schuler writes some juicy scenes. Hey, doesn't this author know paper burns? Yeah, Schuler's THE COWBOY WAY is one entertaining, humorous, and hot read!
