Redneck Romeo (Rough Riders #15) by Lorelei James
Erotica / Western
Samhain Publishing, Ltd. (June 18, 2013)

Synopsis:

The last McKay standing is knocked to his knees…

Three years ago, Dalton McKay looked across the altar and saw the woman he knew he’d love for the rest of his life…only it wasn’t his bride. That’s when he took the McKays’ love-’em-and-leave-’em reputation to new heights—fleeing the ceremony and Wyoming.

Now a family issue has brought Dalton back to Sundance, giving him a chance to prove to everyone—especially the woman he thought he lost—that he’s a changed man.

Aurora “Rory” Wetzler has fallen for cowboy hottie Dalton’s smooth-talkin’ ways too many times. So he’s determined to convince her he’s playing for keeps this go around? Fine. She’ll call that bluff—she can’t ignore their intense chemistry or resist smokin’ hot sex, but she’s not willing to gamble her heart again.

Dalton has plenty of fences to mend with the McKays, but his biggest fear is that Rory doesn’t believe they have a future. He’ll have to pull out all the stops to show her they belong together for the long haul.

Warning: Contains a sexy cowboy who tames his sassy lady love with his romantic and his kinky side. In explicit detail.

The Future of the ROUGH RIDERS

Slick from Guilty Pleasures: Since I just finished reading Redneck Romeo about the last McKay man standing, Dalton, I have to ask who will be the focus of book 16 and is that truly the end? Because I have to tell you having Ky driving and into girls is going to open up a whole can of worms about when the kid's stories are going to be told.

Lorelei: No fun, I know, but no comment on Rough Riders book 16 yet...I'll clue you all in a bit further down the road. I get a bajillion questions about why I'm ending the Rough Riders series at book 16. And yes, I could probably write a second generation of McKays (Love Love Love my readers but you guys are driving me insane with the "When will you write Boone and Sierra's book?! Crazy rabid fans, I keep threatening that if you keep nagging me it'll be...never -- ha ha, yet I'd never do that because I want to know what happens too!) but I've always considered this series a western saga that DOES have an end. I've been fortunate that I've been allowed to write the books how I want, at the pace I want, with the subject matter I want--all with 100% publisher support. That is rare. Since the books have such a great following, there is that mindset to continue to "cash in" on the popularity of the series and characters. But I won't do that because at what point do the new books just become a rehash of the older books? I'd much rather end the series on a high note, at the height of popularity than wait until the series might be considered "tired" and I start to lose readers. Plus, I have lots of ideas, situations, characters and areas to explore in other fictional worlds. I hope readers come along for the ride.

Check out this interview with Lorelei James!

Interview (Slick from Guilty Pleasures conducted the interview)

Hey Lorelei...I bet after last weekend at RAGT you thought you'd be off the hook with questions from me and my oh so nosey husband, huh?  But because, I know some people out there might be interested in knowing some of the things he asked you the first two questions are from him and I left out the insanely personal ones he asked!

Slick's hubster:  If you could spend one night with one of the McKay's which one would it be and why?

Any of the McKays? Hmm...asking the tough questions right off the bat, but today I'd have to say...Bennett McKay.

Slick's hubster:  Have you even considered writing a woman that turns the tables on one of your dominate men?  One that looks at the man when he's being demanding and says, "yeah right, how about you do that and then we'll talk."

I haven't considered that for the Rough Riders series, but my new series--The Surrender Series--which debuts early next year--has more possibilities for that type of scenario since the books feature bondage and a sex club with Dominants and submissives. Then there's always the Rawhide Club, from COWBOY CASANOVA. I've gotten tons of questions on whether I'd be interested in turning that concept into a series.

Slick: You probably figured I'd ask this one since we've conversed about it many times, when the hell am I going to get my story about Ramona and the rest of the West side?

Well, you're in luck, you heard it here first! DR. FEELGOOD, Doc Monroe, Chet and Remy West's story in the Wild West Boys series is scheduled to release in December 2013!

Slick:  If you could take two months off and do anything you wanted to and go anywhere you wanted and money was no object, what would you do and why?

I would visit all the islands in the Caribbean and just chill out. Recharge my batteries and sun and sand and water always does it for me.

Slick: Thanks L for being a good sport, for creating this wonderful family we all love, and for being you, because I have to say you are pretty damn awesome!

Aw, thanks!

Did we forget a book? If so, let us know in the comments!

Well, let’s start this post off right, shall we? And what better way to do that than with a half naked man in colonial garb? We should all thank Pamela Clare for her blog post sharing with us the… photographic evidence… from the shoot of her live-action trailer for Defiant.

Sigh. There are many more pictures on her blog. And they can be super-sized. Just saying.

The Siren (The Original Sinners) prequels –

NIGHTSWIMMING - takes place approximately fifteen months before THE SIREN – stars Wesley & Nora

GRIFFIN IN WONDERLAND – takes places approximately six years before THE SIREN – stars Griffin & Kingsley & young Nora

THE METRONOME – takes places approximately six months before THE SIREN – stars Nora

LITTLE RED RIDING CROP – takes place approximately two years before THE SIREN – stars Nora & Kingsley

THE TEACHER – takes pace approximately twelve years before THE SIREN – stars Zach & Grace

Seven Day Loan sequels –

DANIEL PART TWO – takes place approximately one year after SEVEN DAY LOAN

I have only read Nightswimming and Daniel Part Two but, guaranteed, I’ll be reading them all! Miz Reisz has also put up an excerpt for her novella Submit to Desire, which is out July 1st.

She once led him around by a string. Now he’s the one holding the reins.

Georgia Hotchkiss swore wild horses couldn’t drag her back to Sundance, Wyoming. So it’s ironic she’s forced to take a rodeo PR job in her former hometown—right before her ten-year class reunion. The only thing worse than facing her cheating ex-husband and his pregnant wife? Showing up to the reunion without a date. Fate smiles on her when she runs into her former classmate and current cowboy hottie Tell McKay. With his infectious smile and fun-loving ways—not to mention his banging body—he’s the perfect solution to her problem.

Tell McKay had it so bad for Hot Lips Hotchkiss during high school that he let her run roughshod over him. But he is no longer that easily manipulated boy—these days he’s earned a reputation with the ladies that lives up to the McKay last name. He agrees to escort her to the reunion with one stipulation; that Georgia proves she has left behind the goody-goody cheerleader of the past—by sharing his bed.

Their sexual chemistry flashes so bright, they barely notice that the reunion has come and gone, and now they’re tangled up in another dreaded “R” word—relationship. But if Tell wants to get the girl this go-around, he’ll have to come up with a whole new set of knots to tie up her heartstrings.

Warning: Contains a sweet talkin’ wild cowboy with a wagon load of crazy-hot sex fantasies and the mad bedroom skills to back up his claims.

Both myself and Paula have, quite literally, devoured these books! We both started reading them in April and we both read the first 8 books in under 7 days. The only thing between me and Kissin’ Tell – besides the release date, that is – is book 12! (Which I’ll be reading soon.)

If you haven’t read this series yet, I would definitely recommend you give it a try. That is, if you are into ridiculously hot, alpha cowboys who know how to use ropes and treat their women right...
