Riding Hard (Bennett Boys Ranch #2)

Difficult because the writing was very good, but it was a bit touchy subject matter (a trigger for some) so with that said there should be some kind of alert in the description, other than the one slightly hinted at. Even the book\’s title could be taken for anything. SPOILER alert: Hero and heroine were very likable (on the surface for the hero anyway), story was very good, but I guess without the hero\’s secret/tendencies if you will, the entire story would have probably not been there. Two consenting adults who like rough play. Fine. But bruises on the back of her legs. Um no. Then the brother goes to call them on it seeing the bruises, but then he\’s like okay, you both like it rough, issue resolved. And sorry, but it is an issue. Really, just put a caution in your title description, then readers who do not care for this kind of read will be forewarned. First book by this author but if the rest of her books are like this I have been forewarned now. Thanks, but I\’ll pass.

Holy mother of all things fictional! Can somebody get me a fan, please? I mean.. Mark Bennet, the oldest and most stoic of the Bennett boys- has taken his role of running the ranch and watching out for his brothers and mother very seriously. He doesn\’t waste time on idle chit-chat and isn\’t for romance or dating, so meeting Katyln his brother James and his bride to be Sophie\’s new Event Coordinator throws him off his stoicism game! -The Barbie Girl and The Cowboy- When their paths keep crossing the sparks keep igniting, to the point of leaving a trail of flames behind them- but James has some demons he\’s not ready to divulge, a part of him he is afraid to show, leaving her lonely and full of questions and James- the way he\’s always been. Until Katyln gets under his skin just enough… Woza! Talk about an intense, heart-bending melted me into a puddle, sweet, made me smile, sexified Cowboy Ranch romance! Their back and forth banter, off the charts chemistry, mama\’s all-knowing wisdom, Mark\’s brothers \”playful\” jabs all weaved into a heat fueled heart cinching read! A fantastic second book in the Bennett Boys Series! I did not want it to end! I love this family; I am so invested! I Want More! #OnclickMaterial

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Katelyn has just arrived in Great Falls and is excited about her new job with Mountain Spirit Hotel & Resort. She is the new events coordinator and she can\’t wait to start. Katelyn\’s first task is to plan the Bennett/Stone wedding. This is a big deal. James Bennett, top bull rider in the country, is marrying Sophie Stone. No pressure there. Mark Bennett runs the Bennett Ranch and is older brother to James and Luke. Mark is a born rancher. It\’s in his blood. He\’s meticulous, intimidating and in total control of the ranch and of himself. After he meets Katelyn, he needs that control now more than ever. Mark\’s not supposed to be attracted to her. She\’s a city girl, not country. Mark needs a country girl that can handle him. When Mark holds Katelyn in his arms for the first time, he feels as if he\’s been branded. He\’s not used to this feeling. He\’s confused about his true feelings and fears rejection. Mark runs hot and cold. Katelyn makes him smile and laugh, but mostly, she makes him feel. Katelyn is everything a man could hope for. Mark is a rancher working long, hard hours with no time for a real relationship. Mark assumes Katelyn is going to want a man to be present in her life. To take her out and spend time with her. Start a family. All the things he can\’t give her while trying to take care of the ranch and his family. But most of all, Mark thinks she needs a better man. WOW. I LOVED MARK & KATELYN\’S STORY LOTS OF QUICK, FLIRTY BANTER AND AN INTENSE, UNDENIABLE CONNECTION THAT LEAD TO TOTAL SURRENDER BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY ! THE BENNETT BOYS RANCH SERIES IS A DEFINITE MUST READ ! ! !

The preview of this book was interesting and I thought that the story line had promise. However I wasn\’t expecting the too frequent use of the F word or a thin story line connecting sexual activity. Some may enjoy this but I didn\’t. It is too bad that the story line wasn\’t developed more and the in your face sexual activity developed less. I had bought book i and 2 at the same time but I didn\’t care to read any more.

beautiful song Wait for Love). Attempting to come up with an appropriate headline to describe my love for this book…yet I cannot adequately come up with one. Then it hits me that there is someone out there for each of us. Mark and Katelyns romance is raw, magical, so unworldly – strange to some but beautiful for others that dont fit in to social norms. This is a good book especially if you are attracted to dark subject matters that tend to be viewed as not normal or strange. I wasnt crazy about James and Sophies book and I too thought some of the comments about the writing and storyline had some merit especially when I really enjoy Ms. Landishs storytelling that book was way off the mark. But this book returned to her style of writing and I literally could not put it down! I may not participate in the same expression of love that they do but it doesnt make it wrong or right it makes it their expression of love. I will say however that the sex scenes were HOT – full of freaking passion that may turn some folks off but I truly enjoyed reading the scenes (maybe I got some freak in me if you consider it freaky).
