Cowgirl Up and Ride (Rough Riders, #3)
Lorelei James
Ridin’ the edge of lust is fun—until someone falls in love.Goody-two boots AJ Foster has waited her entire life for her dream cowboy Cord McKay to see her as more than the neighbor girl in pigtails. Now that she’s old enough to stake her claim on him, she’s pulling out all the sexual stops and riding hell-bent for leather—straight for his libido. Divorced rancher Cord has sworn off all women…until innocent AJ suggests he teach her how to ride bareback—and he realizes she doesn’t mean horses or bulls. Between his responsibilities running his massive ranch, missing his young son and dealing with the sexual shenanigans of his brother and cousins, Cord is more than willing to take AJ up on her offer. On a trial basis. The fun and games tie them both up in knots. AJ isn’t willing to settle for less than the whole shootin’ match with her western knight. But for Cord, even though the sexy cowgirl sets his blood ablaze, he’s determined to resist her efforts to lasso his battered heart. Sweet, determined AJ has the power to heal—or heel—the gruff cowboy…unless Cord’s pride keeps him from admitting their relationship is more than a simple roll in the hay.

This has been my favorite of the series so far. Instead of being all about sex where you almost wonder how the characters fall in love, this book is an actual love story.
At first I thought I'd have a problem with the age difference. Not because of the H&h current ages, but because he knew her when she was just a little girl and she had a crush on him since she was a child. I was pleasantly surprised when the author did such a good job telling this story that the age difference was soon forgotten by me unless the characters brought it up.
I honestly wasn't sure if I'd continue this series until I read this book. It was the "last chance" so to speak. Of course, now I find the next book is not available from where I borrow my books. That's very unfortunate because I am now interested in reading on in this series.
