A Tall, Dark, Cowboy
Just looking for a good time:
Waiting tables in a bar full of no-good cowboys isn't Lacy Mason's idea of fun. But between her daughter's illness, endless doctor bills, and her college tuition, she needs the money. What she could really use is a night of no-holds-barred passion and no-strings-attached sex. Too bad she has sworn off cowboys for life!

You know when you go to a Mexican restaurant and the waiter brings out one of those sizzling hot platters and warns you NOT to touch it? And then you can't help reaching out and touching it? So you basically end up looking like an idiot with a burnt finger and an excited smile on your face. (Or maybe that's just me?)
This book has that kind of sizzle to it. Not much plot. Not enough dialogue. But lots of hotness and plenty of nookie if that's your thing.

Found this to be very entertaining. The beginning "things" start FAST and I thought this was going to all about the number of sexual acts that could be performed between 226 pages. Thankfully, that was not the case. There was a nice story that unraveled as the author wove her tale. Nicely written, erotic, with the pour-single-mother-struggling-to take-care-of-sick-4-year-old-girl-in-need-of-a-heart-transplant-put-herself-through-college-(Engineering)-while-waiting-tables-at-a-rowdy-cowboy-bar.

Ride 'em, Cowboy! Not a bad story but not quite a 5 for me. I did feel that the author managed to infuse a chemistry that is often lacking in erotica. However, certain aspects of the story didn't ring completely true for me.

Lacey Mason has the whole world on her shoulders. Between her job, her sick child and a pain in the ass ex-husband, she is not looking for a man in her life...especially a cowboy.
Wyatt Anderson an ex-cowboy and full time executive, is mesmorized from the moment he spots Lacey working at the bar. Instantly drawn to her, he is overwhelmed with the need to protect her and to make himself someone she can rely on in her chaotic life.

4 ½ stars - Contemporary/Western Romance/Erotica
This is a quick, sweet, romantic read about a sexy, tenderhearted cowboy/engineering executive who falls head-over-boots in love with a selfless, struggling single-mom working as a waitress in a rowdy cowboy bar to put herself through engineering school while taking care of her sick 4-year-old daughter. You can’t go wrong with a hunky cowboy, a respectable heroine, some steamy hot romance, and a touching love story. Overall, it’s a moving, lightly...more

1.5 stars but the cover is quite hot, so what the hell! Let's make it 2 stars.
Am I the only one who found this book utterly ridiculous??? Probably. It's the first one I read from this author and it didn't impress me at all. Actually the first third of the book wasn't too bad, but after that things went south pretty fast. There are so many wrong things in this story, I don't know where to start.

This was a very steamy story that I had a hard time putting down!
I do have a few comments, though.
1. Lacy is too perfect. She's beautiful, smart, hard-working, dedicated, and every man wants her. Her whole life is centered around her sick child, eschewing anything that would bring her pleasure. Well, everything except for Wyatt. And that was just a moment of weakness.
I wonder if it smells like perfume when she toots.

This isn't really a proper review. Just a summary of all the funny parts..This is my first Mackenzie McKade book, and the only reason i picked the e-book up last night was because it was only 139 pages.
This book doesn't really fall into erotica for me, although there is quite a bit of mattress tango in here, its written pretty well. There's a pretty good story actually. So for all of you who want to know more..presenting the parts that made this book ...umm..memorable?

Lacy works in a rowdy bar, driving the bucking bronco machine for drunken cowboys in between waiting tables and serving drinks. She catches the eye of Wyatt, drinking in there with his buddy, Chance.
Earlier, he’d noticed she had refused the attentions of a young cowboy, making it perfectly clear she wasn’t available or interested. But now she caressed each man with a smile that made Wyatt reach down and adjust himself as he hardened.

Unfortunately, I didn't think there was much substance to this story. Wyatt and Lacy had zero chemistry and I thought things progressed very quickly. Wyatt was a bit too cave-man for me by making decisions regarding Lacy's career without discussing it with her. I also found the sex scenes to be pretty boring and I ended up skimming them.

Lacy is a woman who is heavily burdened. Her load is so heavy that most people would crumble under the weight. As a single mother, her life would be hard, but her four year old daughter is in the hospital awaiting a heart transplant.

I should have seen this pattern long ago that when I finally pull a book out from the bottom of my TBR pile, something that's been sitting there forever, and read the darn thing, it turns out to be something wonderful. I was sucked into the story right away with all the sexual chemistry and antics flying about (well written btw), but more important there wasn't the great misunderstanding that plagues a lot of romantic couples. I enjoyed seeing Lacy and Wyatt tangle with each other in every way,...more
Although I'm not a fan of couples falling in love quite so fast in a contemporary romance, it was well worth the read.
How can you go wrong with a hunky cowboy, hot sex, and very likeable characters.

3.5 stars as there wasn't anything wrong with this book, but there wasn't anything outstanding in it either. Some of the premise of the book seemed a bit far fetched, even for a romance novel. Lacy and Wyatt turn a one-night stand into a weekend long stand, with some elements of a relationship, but basically without revealing anything other than surface information about each other, and lots of hot, sweaty sex. She starts her new career and realizes he is the head of her department. She can't wo...more
I've read a few Mackenzie McKade books and this is my favorite! I loved the characters of Lacy and Wyatt, their relationship started off with lust, both made assumptions about the other, and then as the story progressed, they had to work through it.
And isn't the cover one of the best with a cowboy?!?!? I'll be honest, that's why I looked at the story in the first place and I'm glad I did because it turned into one of my favorites!

I enjoyed this one alot. Sex is steamy though!!! Whew! Needed and Ice berg to sit on.
Wow...this was one spicy~hot emotional read!!! Loved it!! I say that the story was emotional because of Jessie's illness and the intense emotions between Lacey and Wyatt that seemed to leap off the pages. So good!! I was immediately drawn into the story and didn't want it to end. I had so much fun reading this story and rooting for Lacey, Wyatt and Jessie to all get their HEA.

I enjoyed this one. Another group read. I can't say it's the smexiest book I've ever read, but I might be in a smexy read slump... that seems to happen to me. Books others thing are ultra squishy I just think are meh. So I'm going with that on this one. Besides the smexing, though, I liked the story. I liked that Wyatt was so taken with Lacy from the start. I liked that he was so concerned about her when the hospital called about her daughter that he completely forgot about his plans and took he...more
Whoo Hoo. Five big Yee Haws, ya'll!
If the title doesn't get ya, the story will. Talk about yummy characters! Absolutely delicioso. This story is built on strong characters, some seriously dangerous chemistry, and a lack of communication (because they are too busy pawing each other).

Part time waitress Lacy is working all the hours she can to pay for her very ill daughters medical bills. Her ex-husband doesn’t support them so her wages are split between paying the rent on her hovel of an apartment, paying for full time care for her little girl and paying the tuition fees for her engineering degree. In a nutshell, Lacy’s life sucks. One night, into the bar walks Wyatt, the tall dark cowboy described in the title. He decides he wants one night with Lacy and he manages to wangl...more

Most of what I'd heard about this book was about the super stud-muffin beefcake on the front cover so I didn't really know what to expect from the book itself. But it turned out to be a pretty enjoyable read.

No series, as far as I know.
Summary:
Lacy Mason works at a local bar, trying to earn enough money to pay her ailing daughter's hospital bills and to put herself through college. She's learned the hard way to stay away from cowboys, but when Wyatt Anderson wanders in one night with...more

Lacy is a single mother with a daughter who needs a heart transplant. She's finishing her bachelor's in electrical engineering and paying bills in the meantime by working as a waitress. She meets Wyatt, a cowboy but also a very successful businessman, at the bar one night and they're so attracted to each other that he ends up going home with her. Despite her busy life and stress, they start a relationship.

The last thing Lacy needs in her life is another Cowboy, but when Wyatt walks into the bar she is working at she finds he is difficult to resist. Lacy is up to her ears in stress, with a daughter in the hospital, bills looming up, and finishing up getting her degree she might just take this cowboy up on his offer to work out the kinks.
Wyatt does not know what is drawing him to the feisty waitress but he knows one thing, he wants her not just for a night though....
Seductive, loved it.

What woman would not want the tall, dark, sexy Cowboy named Wyatt?????? Lacy is one lucky gal. To find someone who not only wanted her but wanted to take care of Jesse as well....what a KEEPER!!!
My husband used to ride Saddle Broncs, so I totally get the appeal of the Cowboy!!!
Great, quick read!! Would have like to see more in the future to see how Jesse progressed after they brought her home. Thank you for a great story Ms. McKade! :)

It took me less than 48 hours to read this book. It had me laughing, panting and fighting back tears all in a matter of the first few chapters. Wyatt...wow what a leading man. He is everything that is good for Lacy. She has had a hard life taking care of her sickly daughter all the while putting herself through college. Not to mention putting up with crap from her ex-husband.

Lacy Mason's last weekend of waiting tables at a bar full of cowboys isn't her idea of fun. But it pays the bills, her collage tuition, endless doctor bills for her very sick little girl. What she wants is a night of no strings attached sex, with a man willing to satisfy her needs. Wyatt Anderson is a Full-Time executive and retired cowboy and the minute he lays eyes on Lacy he knows he is taking her home for a hot night of sex. Good Story.
A fun, quick read for a contemporary western romance with lots of steamy sex. I have to agree with the reader who wrote that that the characters of Lacy and Wyatt were a little to perfect to be real - Lacy is hot, semi-virginal but screws like a porn star, great at what she does, newly minted degree, focused on work and her sick toddler who needs a heart transplant. Wyatt is also hot, a semi-retired rodeo star cowboy, a middle-executive business man with a mansion, a heart of gold, etc., etc.

Steamy but not really romantic. Outside of sex and visiting a sick child in a hospital, there wasn't a lot of relationship building. I didn't care much for the plot surrounding the sick child. I don't believe sick children belong in erotic books. It's too real and too depressing.

Arizona gives me great pleasure, because if I'm not at the computer writing or buried nose deep in a book you'll find me on a four-wheeler, or a jet ski, or being pulled behind my 26’ Monterey boat on an oblong tube called a ‘hot dog’ laughing my ass off.
