Thoughts:
Shirtless Cowboy hunk with a yummy happy trail I want to lick. What is not to lust over this cover. Love the mountains in the background. Fell in love with Vivian Arend writing style and the delicious Coleman brothers in Rocky Mountain Heat (Six Pack Ranch #1). I am so behind on this series. At least I have time to catch up.

Rocky Mountain Heat (Six Pack Ranch #1)
by Vivian Arend
E-book 359 pages
Blurb:

He’s the one who taught her to ride. Now all he wants is to ride her.

Six Pack Ranch, Book 1

Blake Coleman is old enough to know that acting on impulse causes nothing but a heap of trouble. But when trouble’s a western-hat-wearing blonde with slim legs that go on forever, what’s a man to do? Wanting the sweet girl next door is just wrong. The responsible thing to do is keep his hands off.

Jaxi has other plans for Blake’s hands, and his heart. She may have once considered him a big brother, but that was a long time ago. She’s all grown up now and ready to convince him that she’s perfect for him. Except he can’t seem to see past the big “don’t touch” sign that’s apparently still hanging around her neck.

When Jaxi ends up living right under Blake's nose, the undeniable heat between them slides off simmer and leaps up to barn-burning levels. However, a few of the younger six-pack Colemans have decided Jaxi’s brand of trouble is worth risking a few busted bones.

That is, if Blake’s finally ready to let go the reins and fight for what he wants…

Warning: Sexy cowboys seducing and being seduced in trucks, pool halls and barns. Droolworthy country charm, a little double-teaming, a few secrets and a whole lot of brothers to look forward to. Anyone wanna go for a ride?

Review:

Perfect ~ Keeper

I want to give a Big Thank you to Mariann at Belle’s Book Bag for having this series on her blog. I enjoyed and loved reading Rocky Mountain Heat that I had to buy the second book ASAP. Vivian Arend knows how to write about love, friendship with a sexy alpha male cowboy.

Right away I adored Blake in the prologue. Jaxi is dating his younger brother Travis and he is a snot nose brat to her. While they are away at a rodeo she gets sick but Travis rather stay and party with his friends. Blake is sweet as he is the one to take care of her and brings her home. He just got sweeter while taking her home by gently cover her with a blanket. Blake had no problem punching Travis and telling him what a jerk he is.

I loved Blake’s character as he is your brooding, sweet, dirty talker, bit jealous, Alpha Male hero. They are ten years apart and he started noticing Jaxi since she was 18 and he was 28. He feels like he has no right to admire her as she has been a big part of his family since she was little. He has been scared to be around her all these years for fear on how he would react. Now time has passed and she is no longer the 18 year old he as admired. Now she is older and turned out to be a beautiful woman which he avoids her and is broody when ever around her. All it takes is for his twin brothers to flirt with her while playing pool and now he is going to court and woo her so she can see the real him.

Jaxi comes from a small family, she is the only child and parents worked a lot. The Coleman family took her in and treated her like one of their own. She automatically fell in love with Blake’s big family. All she wanted since she was little is to be a ranchers wife, Blake’s wife. She will do what ever it takes to get Blake to finally notice her as a woman and not the little girl running around in pigtails. Even if she has to go with the twins idea to flirt with them to make Blake jealous and open up his eyes that he wants her.

Blake and Jaxi chemistry is sweet and steamy right from the beginning. Later on their chemistry is a scorcher. I loved every moment when they were together. Their sexual encounters definitely burned up my e-reader. Many favorite sex scenes but oh my the kitchen scene with the peaches and the dining room table scene had me putting my head in the freezer. Vivian Arend is a master at writing some scorching but tasteful sex scenes.

I loved all the secondary characters even the mom and dad. Vivian Arend did an amazing job at having all the secondary characters in one book that never took away from Blake and Jaxi story. They just added more fun to the book and all have their own personality. There are 6 yummy brothers Blake, Daniel, Matt, the twins (Jesse and Joel) and Travis. Jesse and Joel are my favorites and look forward to their story.
 
Vivian Arend, Rocky Mountain Heat and The Six Pack Ranch series is not be missed. I look forward to reading the rest of this series and highly recommend Rocky Mountain Heat. Blake and Jaxi story is perfect and keeper for me that I will re-read again and again. Vivian Arend is now on my favorite author list that I will buy anything she writes.

Studs In Stetsons September E-book Giveaways




 Hold on to  your hats... you're in for a wild ride with sexy stetsons wearing  heroes.

Studs In Stetsons E-book giveaways (Your choice from Amazon or Barnes & Noble) kicks off September, courtesy of Wickedly Delicious Book Blog. Four amazing authors and series not to be missed with delicious cowboys that will burn up your E-reader.



9/3 ~ 9/9

The Lawman (Willow Creek #1)
by Lily Graison Web  Blog


Blurb:
The Willow Creek Series, Book 1

On the run from her ex-lover, jilted by a no-show husband and now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back saloon, Abigail Thornton doesn’t think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man’s face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be.

Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton – all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite.

Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough?

9/10 ~ 9/16


Deacons Touch (Dumen Ranch #1)
by Callie Croix Web  Blog

Goodreads

Blurb
After her own engagement goes to hell, workaholic Jessica Talbot dreads her friend’s bachelorette party at a dude ranch in Nowheresville, Texas. But the outlook for the weekend brightens when Deacon Dumen picks her up at the airport. The sexy cowboy awakens every dormant sexual fantasy with nothing more than a friendly smile and a handshake.

Ex-Air Force Pararescueman Deke Dumen doesn’t know what to make of the sexy yet reserved brunette who breaks through the walls he built after an injury ended his career and a divorce soured him on relationships. As a guest at his family's ranch Jessie is off limits, but the Dom in him rebels at the restriction, even as he realizes his penchant for control in the bedroom would likely scare the holy hell out of her. When Jessie shocks Deke by asking for exactly what he's been craving, he's ready to break the rules and introduce her to his own brand of dominance. Her willing surrender rocks them both to the core. But once the weekend's over, they must decide if it was just a wild fling or the start of something more.

9/17 ~ 9/23


UnRidden (Studs In Spurs #1)
by Cat Johnson Web  Blog


Blurb:
When country boys meet a city girl, everyone is in for a wild ride.
Slade Bower and Mustang Jackson are living the high life on the professional bull-riding circuit. The prize money is big, the bulls are rank, and the women are willing. But something is missing.

For Slade, waking up in a different city with a different woman each morning is holding less and less appeal. Even Mustang’s creative attempts to shake things up don’t help. Then along comes a big-city author who’s like nothing they’ve ever encountered. Something about her makes Slade sit up and take notice—and Mustang is always up for anything.

Romance writer Jenna Block has a problem: her agent thinks a cowboy book will jump start her career. A born New Yorker, Jenna doesn’t do cowboys, not on paper, and definitely not in real life. Luckily for her there are two cowboys ready, willing and able to take her out of her comfort zone in every way that counts…and some ways she hadn’t counted on.

..."I want to sit at my place at the table and remember touching and sucking your pretty pussy. Everyone will wonder why I can't stop smiling."  He shifted her slightly to get a better view.

"Open yourself for me"

Jaxi flushed. She already sat naked on the table where she'd shared Christmas dinners and birthday cakes with the Coleman Family. She let her legs fall open and used one hand to slide her her curls apart.

He leaned forward and licked, and her leg twitched so hard it  slipped off the table. He smiled at her.

And did it again.

Sensations wrapped around Jaxi to meld into one enormous collage of emotion and touch. The bubbled on the stove, the canning jars rattling as they processed in the high heat. The windows were open, and a light breeze blew through the house, ruffling the curtains before coiling over her heated skin. Blake licked and sucked, slipped a finger inside her sheath and pulled her cream up over her skin before rasping hard with his tongue........

Have to give a big thank you to Mariann at http://bellesbookbag.blogspot.com/ for recommending this series. OMG I am hooked!! There were so many great Sexy Snippets it was hard to pick one. Well I decided to pick my favorite one.  The scene in the kitchen leading up to this snippet is also sexy and yummy. But I do love a little table sexing especially where he put her, right where he sits. YUMMY!!  I highly recommend this book. You will fall in love with all the brothers and the rest of the family. Blake is a sexy dirty talker.  Love a  sexy dirty talking cowboy. And he sure does it well throughout the book.

Had to use the other cover as I like it better. Here is the other cover.
