In fact, I've read some erotic romance books that utilize the intimacy of sex to make a story much more real, and completely and utterly beautiful.

Just because a book is shelved as erotica doesn't mean that there isn't damned good story, well written and evocative. So I was thinking that maybe my lower opinion of those stories was due to my inexperience or different expectations.

To be fair, those were some of my very first erotica books, three or four years ago. I read the first three in the Rough Riders series. This is my fourth book by Lorlei James, and it will be my last. There's more breedin' in this here book than burnt hair durin' brandin' season, whooee, doggy!! And lookee there! I ain't got nuthin' but that. I wuz hankerin' fer some sexy ruttin' 'tween two shitkickers and their little filly. Now it's up to Lainie to choose the one man who can give her the ride of her life. But when the men offer to share her - she knows that both of them are going to try to win her, body and soul.

She's more shocked to learn Hank and Kyle are hometown buddies. Lainie feels guilty about her two-timing, but it doesn't keep her from doubling her fun -until Hank catches her with Kyle. Hank Lawson, a bullfighter, and Kyle Gilchrist, a bull rider trying to stage a comeback. So no one is more surprised than Lainie when she finds herself involved with not one, but two different men on different circuits. As a sports therapist, she travels the rodeo circuits patching up riders - and fending off their sweet-talking, swaggering advances. Lainie Capshaw has been servicing injured cowboys long enough to know that a charming Western drawl combined with a fine physical form doesn't mean you should fall for a man. But in the arena of love and ecstasy, things get much more complicated. In the rodeo arena, all you have to worry about is surviving.
