Oct 27, 2010 Auntee rated it 4 of 5 stars · review of another edition Recommends it for: Fans of erotic romance featuring a few ménage scenes with a couple of sweet talking cowboys

Shelves: erotic-romance, ménage, 2010_reads

This was a sweet, sexy, and often comical story about a pretty, 35 year-old New York City romance author who engages in a steamy hot affair with a couple of young (20 somethings) studly, Texas bull riders while attending a romance writers convention (sounded like one of the RT conventions) in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Jenna has been told by her agent that her romances have become boring, and she needs to spice up her sex scenes. The agent wants her to write a "cowboy romance" because that is the current hot trend. Jenna figures since she's already heading to Tulsa (that's cowboy country, right?) for the romance writers convention she can do a little research while in town and study the cowboys at a professional bull riding event. There she meets horn dog best friends Mustang (the blond charmer) and Slade (the dark, intense one), who never met a woman they couldn't conquer--usually together. Jenna starts out seeking their assistance about incorporating some bull riding background into her story, but when the guys read a rough draft of her story and critique her sex scenes, things get a little more personal. Jenna at first has no intentions of getting physically involved with the persistent Romeos, but it is her birthday, she's feeling kind of depressed over her stalled career...and maybe these two young studs can spice up her life and her writing skills? But what will happen if the physical connection turns emotional? Are Jenna and her sexy men prepared for what happens next?

Somehow this book manages to be cute, comical, and steamy hot. Even though there was some ménage scenes, they never came off as sleazy either, probably because they weren't written as explicitly as they could have been. But that was okay, because CJ certainly got the point across. I liked the heroine, Jenna. Even though we don't get a whole lot of background about her, I found her extremely likable and relatable. The men were pretty sweet too. I found Mustang to be pretty perceptive for such a sweet talking, studly character, and a good friend to the quieter, more intense Slade. I do wish that Slade would've fought harder for Jenna though, and that we learned a little more backstory about the two best friends. Slade was darn lucky to have a friend who cared about him as much as Mustang did.

If you're looking for a light, uncomplicated, sexy read, that's hot in a not so over-the-top way, then you should enjoy this one. It's fast paced, has plenty of comical moments, and enough steam to keep you turning the pages. Can't wait to read the follow-up, Bucked. 4 stars

*Note: Readers may recognize the young, flirty bull rider from this story (named Chase) from Cat Johnson's free read 8 Second Ride.

Cat Johnson writing voice and bull riding descriptions are sexy and fun. After reading UnRidden I wanted to go see some bull riders in action.

Slade has had no problem with sharing woman in the past, that is until he met Jenna. Before he met Jenna he was in a slump, tired of just having sex. It all begins with a bet of a new pair of chaps that Mustang can not get Jenna naked. It should be like all the other times just a one night stand, until their night with Jenna and everything changes. He is s...more

I admit that most of the time I’m not bowled over when I finally get to experience authors out of the blue like this, but sometimes you find a gem or two.

I’m happy to say that Ms. Johnson may be one of those gems. This is my first book by her and I’m already looking at her backlist to find others to try. I like her writing a lot. And her characters. Well, hell, they’re cowboys! How can you not love cowboys? Especially when they’re as sexy as Mustang and Slade. Ms. Johnson even got me to like an older woman/younger man (men) story. Those usually aren’t my thing, but this one is done in a way that just seamlessly flows and I found myself liking everything about it.

Jenna is a romance writer and her editor has just rejected her latest manuscript, her work needs something more and a review even called her sex scenes boring. Cowboys are the trend, so, her editor tells her, write about cowboys. Well, being a city-bred girl, Jenna doesn’t know a heck of a lot about things western. At a writers’ convention in Tulsa she begins to do some research and hits the jackpot when she learns that the Championship Bull Riding competition is in town for the week. She hightails it down to all the goings-on to get some firsthand experience.

Best friends Slade Bower and Mustang Jackson ride the circuit together and share their women a good portion of the time, but that part of his life has become tedious for Slade. A different woman every night, not knowing a woman’s name, even looking her in the eye when he’s going to town inside her just doesn’t have what is used to for him. He wants something more, though he has no idea what that is. Mustang, on the other hand, is still going strong, picking just the right women with his southern charm and killer smile. Trying to perk Slade up some, Mustang picks a woman that isn’t anywhere near their usual, and damned if that doesn’t put the spark by in Slade’s eyes when he checks out their fun for the night. He’s not sure, however, she’s going to be quite as eager to join in as Mustang thinks she will be.

Before they can make their move, Jenna has searched them out to ask her questions and do her research. There’s definitely some attraction on her part, but these two are just boys. Handsome, sexy, and built boys. She gets her information but graciously declines their further offers, which she regrets later when back in her hotel room alone. Determined to rectify that mistake, she goes back the next night and the resulting heaven, rapture, bliss in their arms and their bed is the best time of her life. They spend a lovemaking-filled week together, but all things must come to an end. Jenna tearfully goes home to New York, Mustang and Slade head for Texas. Will they ever see each other again?

Well, yeah, of course they do, but I’m not going there. That’s the really emotional part of the book and you have to get your own copy to find out about that. I had a great time with these characters. When Jenna makes her decision to be with both Mustang and Slade, she doesn’t pussyfoot around, vacillating yea or nay like you read in some books. Her decision made, she goes for it. She still has her vulnerabilities along the way, but she knows her mind and acts accordingly with little fuss. Mustang and Slade are real cowboys, flat out charming and sensitive when they find someone worthy. They have their moments from the hilarious to the unfamiliar emotional. There are some great secondary characters from Barb, Jenna’s author friend, to Chase, the even younger circuit rookie, who is a hoot all on his own.

So now I’m hooked and I want to read more of Ms. Johnson. She’s a gem that’s definitely turned bright and shiny for me.

I'm not sure where to start with this one. This book is getting some mixed reviews, which I like. Some love it, some like it, and some hate it. Me? I'm somewhere between love and like. I think.

I certainly don't hate it. But I think that has something to do with the fact that I've read quite a few duds lately, and compared to these books, this one is a breath of fresh air.

The character hook-up is your standard M/F/M. No nasty between the male characters. Sadly. :D

I have never felt drawn to read a romance or erotic romance with more than two participants in the bedroom ( in the story mind you! ) but somehow as I wanted to read a modern western I saw this book pop-up on Goodreads. Got my hands on it and was bit surprised as the two bull riders catch a girl off the audience and um... go at it. That's not the story however ( just Chapter 1 ) but it just shocked me a little... now to the story!

Slade Bower and Mustang Jackson are pro bull riders, best friends since the beginning, life is pretty good, new town, new girls, every night, and the girls don't mind taking two cowboys to bed at the same time. Though Slade is starting to get jaded and doesn't see the fun where there used to be a lot.

Queue in Jenna a romance novel writer getting her wrist slapped for not coming up with a book trendy enough, and as she refused to write about space vampire pirates she goes for the easier choice cowboys, of which she knows nothing about. Luckily it just happens that her author's conference in Tulsa also hosts A Bull Riding Championship and its pretty much Kismet!

Jenna finds Slade and Mustang after 'the show' and persuades them to help her with her facts and learning what being a cowboy is like - little does she know Slade and Mustang have others things in mind for the night, mainly bedding Jenna. But Jenna's not a groupie and the cowboys need to change tactics to get her in the game.

This story could have easily been an exploitation of the female character but it sure steered well away from that, so well that I would actually call this a sweet story! whjat?! Yeah you heard me, a sweet threesome story. You can tell Slade starting to fall for her right away, and Mustang is just so damn charming there is no way any girl can resist that guy, and the two have the most entertaining bantering dialog. Jenna is fun, and not at all naive, like you might expect for a girl who gives into two guys.

Now let's get to the sex - Whoa! Now I've never read threesome scenes before but, damn! I've been missing out! Slade, Jenna and Mustang make quite the team! It's page sizzling hot, slow, steady, rough kinda ride. And it doesn't help that theres ma'ams and darlin's thrown in the mix to cause heart palpitations on unsuspecting readers...

I especially loved the end - this story needed a happy ending and it got one.

And - Yes, incase you are wondering I have Bucked and Ride waiting to be read as well now! It doesn't get much better than this!(less)

Jenna Block is a romance novelist from NYC(how masturbatory, a romance novel about a romance author, but I digress) researching cowboys for her next novel. While in Tulsa at a romance authors' convention, she meets Mustang Jackson (so nicknamed for his oversized wang of mighty lovin') and Slade Bower, two pro bull riders in town for a championship. They meet for drinks to discuss bull riding and flirt a bit before Jenna goes home for the evening, promising to attend the event the next evening.

I liked that Johnson had the heroine go back to her room. I find a lot of menage stories have a woman falling quickly into bed with two strangers, a decision so reckless I can hardly respect the heroine afterwards. Instead, Johnson takes two nights for Mustang to charm and Slade to intrigue her before Jenna basically says "Fuck it, why not?" That it happens on her 35th birthday, Jenna deciding she's not getting any younger, also lent more realism to the situation for me.

The sex scenes are rather sweet, considering the content. Johnson mercifully avoids the play by play style sex scene so common to the genre and focuses on their thoughts, feelings and reactions throughout. We see Mustang having a fun time, Slade fighting jealousy and Jenna trying to process it all.

However, this is about where the book started to lose its focus. A romance forming out of a menage is conflict enough. There was no need for a large age gap (Mustang's 25, Slade 27) or another man's interest to be thrown into the mix. I guess she intended Chase's attentions to show Slade's attachment and jealousy, but it would have been far less messy to do so with Mustang.

As a result, I felt the romantic relationship between Jenna and Slade ended up underdeveloped. I was surprised to find this would not end in a permanent menage. The connection between Slade and Jenna seemed no stronger than between her and Mustang. The tenuous connection between these two meant the ending was more of a HFN than HEA. These two may call it love, but they know so little of each other that they are more accurately infatuated and only beginning their courtship. I wouldn't call the ending unsatisfying, as I'd prefer this to a hasty marriage, but it is far less tied up and neat than your average romance.

Overall, I enjoy Johnson's voice and style and found she creates real, multi-faceted characters. Despite this book's flaws, it was still a joy to read and a good story. I'll definitely pick up future books of hers.(less)

I read this book after constantly seeing this authors name crop up on here in relation to good Cowboy Romance's. After reading a few of her short stories (over at allromanceebooks.com), I quickly realised that I liked her style of writing and this could be a very good choice.

Unridden is book 1 of the Studs and Spurs Trilogy, which centres around the rodeo circuit. Jenna Block is a struggling romance author who gets directed by her publisher towards the cowboy romance genre. After realising that a Bull Riding Championship is being held in the same town as a Romance Writers Conference, Jenna decides to kill two birds with stone and get some first hand experience from some real life cowboys. Coming across Slade and Mustang, two rodeo riders with a penchant for sharing everything from a trailer to women, Jenna gets more than she bargains for in this incredibly hot yet sweet story.

This book was fabulous. As soon as I met the character Mustang (named after the car because of the size of his junk!) I knew I was going to love this story. Slade and Mustang are typical bull riders; they live, breathe and sleep riding. Unlike Mustang, Slade is getting bored of the lifestyle that comes with it. The nights in the trailers and the endless supply of buckle-bunnies is getting old (in the first sex scene between the boys and Jenna the first thought that flashed through my head was "I hope they washed the sheets!) When he meets Jenna, she is the first woman who has given him pause for thought in months....unfortunately for Slade it looks like she is interested in them as a package deal! After being told by her publisher (and Mustang when he reads a draft of the book!) that her sex scenes were getting boring, Jenna decides that what she needs to spice up her writing is some good experience, which Mustang is more than happy to help with!

One thing I can say about this writer is that she definitely doesn't suffer from the same lack luster sex scenes problem as her leading lady. The scenes were absolutely SMOKING! This book doesn't feature a true menage but Slade and Mustang like to share and Jenna is more than game to let them seduce her into some hot threesome action. The secenes are absolutely scorching and there is just the right amount of detail mixed with emotion to keep it from being sleazy and keep me happy. The later sex scenes between the three, although still fabulous, were a little harder to read as we, as the readers, have watched Slade's feelings for Jenna develop and truly feel his discomfort as he watches her with his best friend. I think that if Mustang hadn't been such a likeable character, and Slade such a stubborn prat at points, they could have been horrible to read but, as they were, they were perfect to steam you up, whilst proving how much Slade's feelings were changing. The sex scenes between Jenna and Slade are written in a completely different tone. They were much more sweet and light to read and really distinguished between the two relationships. I will say that if he didn't have Mustang to push him along then Slades HEA may have never happened...the man was a stubborn as a bull.

This book was often very funny. From the point where Jenna tells Mustang that she "has toys under her bed bigger than [him]" to the image of Slade in a flourescent green condom, the book often had me in stitches. I sniggered when the guys referred to taking Jenna home the morning after their first night together as the "walk of shame".....nice to know that terminology is universal! :) There were lots of incredibly sweet moments between Slade and Jenna as their feelings grew for each other and, after all the building, I didn't feel so bad that this book wasn't destined to be Mustangs HEA (who is my favourite character in the whole book.....sweet, sexy and funny.....just yum!:D)

Read it if you like Cowboy romance's....you won't regret it!

UNRIDDEN is a steamy, sexy and fun read that made me want to look into going to some bull-riding competitions. It was a great read-comical, sexy and just plain fun. It's the first book in the Studs and Spurs series, and whew, what at great start! This book got me drawn into the world that Cat Johnson created, so that there is no chance that I could even imagine not continuing with the series.

Jenna is a romance writer who has just been told by her agent that her newest book doesn't have what the publishers are looking for. Cowboy romances are what's in right now. She's got six weeks to write a new novel about a Cowboy and being a suburban girl from New York has given her no experience in that area. To top that, she got a review for her last book that said her sex scenes are boring. Boring! All that AND she's about to turn 35. Luckily, she's going to Tula, OK for a writers' convention, so she's hoping to get some inspiration for her book there.

Enter Slade and Mustang, two of the hottest bull-riders on the circuit, both in the competitive standings and in burning up the sheets with a different girl each night. These two like to share, but Slade is becoming disinterested in having a faceless girl at every turn. So, when Mustang spots the sexy Jenna standing out in the crowd, in her turtleneck no less, they knew she was different. As the three embark on a tryst while they are in Tulsa, Jenna gets more than just the idea for her book. Her heart may be on the line.

The character of Jenna was smart and sexy, and I liked how she took charge of her sexuality and went after what she wanted. No excuses, she wanted the men, so that's what she did. Mustang was such a sweetheart in this. He sees the relationship spark between Jenna and Slade, and he tries to be a good friend and steer Slade in the right direction--even when it feels like he's dragging him there. Slade is wonderfully sexy and brooding. He's not happy about having the feelings that he has for Jenna and makes some mistakes because of that.

The love scenes are erotic but not overly graphic. I think that the author left some things up to the imagination of the reader, and I actually liked that better for this book. It wasn't very long (only about 100 pages), so I'm glad that the majority of the pages weren't taken up in the extremely graphic details of menage sex.

The world-building was great. I learned a lot about bull-riding. Under the guise of Jenna learning for her book, the author really educated the readers as well as drew them into this world of bucking bulls and tough cowboys. We also got a look into the world of romance writing. From the convention to the interactions with Jenna's agent, those glimpses into Jenna's life added to the realism of the book.

Then there were just scenes that were funny: Jenna's reaction to a review that she was reading while in the airport, her original description of how she was going to write a cowboy book (she'll have him just ride a horse a lot, HA!), and Jenna going out with a group of her writer friends to the bar in Tulsa. Those were just a few of the moments in the book that had me chuckling to myself.

My only complaint about the book is that I wanted a bit more development in Jenna and Slade's relationship. I know that there was an instant attraction, but things seemed a little rushed at the end when they decide to be together. I just wanted to see more of them being together outside of bed before they thought that it was love. However, I do believe that the way that Mustang "bowed out" of the menage was done very well. I usually don't like books where all three people don't end up going on to happily ever after, especially when they came together from the beginning as a threesome. But the way the author wrote the scenario, the reader gets the sense that this is the way that it should be. I really enjoyed going on this journey with Jenna, Slade and Mustang. I look forward to continuing the series.(less)

I don’t normally read cowboy books so wasn’t sure what to expect, that said I struggled with a number of things about this story.

The sex was so-so, probably because I didn't really care about the characters. I found it hard to believe that a guy in his 20’s had to show a 35 year old female, where her g-spot was, and by the way she didn’t even realise she had one.

Needing to write a new kind of romance novel, Jenna Block travels to Oklahoma to interview, meet, and perhaps get friendly with some who are a part of this lifestyle and who are competitors in the circuit. She gets that and more. These's lots of fun in this book and it is an interesting journey of discovery for Jenna. Not a heavy book, by any means, but I enjoyed...more

A very easy read. Finished this one during breaks at work over a couple of days. Def looking forward to reading book 2 in the series, Bucked. I liked all, and even loved some, of the characters. What i didnt buy was that Jenna really was falling for Slade as hard as he was falling for her. She seemed far more interested in both men equally until the very end. I just couldnt swallow her deep love for only one of them.
Still a great read tho and i would recommend to friends. But the ambiguity is w...more

This was a fun first-in-series book. Slade was an odd character. He and Mustang were used to just banging chicks and running away, but something about Jenna called to Slade. And he had no idea how to handle it. It's a good thing Mustang was there to keep prodding Slade in the right direction. But I can't believe Slade didn't call Jenna after Tulsa!! He's lucky she'd even talk to him or Mustang after that. Chase also helped quite a bit in this one, although I don't think he did it on purpose. Fir...more

I literally couldn't put it down. Stayed up all night just to finish it and regretted having to close the book.
My first cat johnson. I'm going back for another round. Can't wait to read the story for chase.
The sex scenes were hot as lit dynamite. The characters were funny and believable.

If you haven't read cat Johnson, take her for a ride.
She's sure to give you a good one. :-)

Well Hello Sexy Cowboys, I am still sitting here fantasizing about these hot cowboys who know what to do and what to say. What is it about a hot man who tips his hat and says "hello Ma'am" or "Hello Darlin"? All I can say about UnRidden is holy hotness!!! This book had it all for me, great story, well balanced characters, smut, and sexy chap wearing cowboys ready for a good time.

DOn't have much to say about the book. The plot was weak, I didn't connect with the characters at all: thought that Slade was a bore, Jenna wasn't that much either and the only one that made me feel something was Mustang and the whole book led you to believe that that threesome was going to lead somewhere and then it didn't and everything just seemed rushed to an end.

This book was just okay for me. Didn't have me on pins and needles but also didn't have me pulling out my hair in frustration either. It was a quick (finished it in under a day) easy read. If you like cowboys without all the deatiled heat then this book is for you. If you like a little more details in your scenes then you might want to skip on the book. Just depends on what kind of mood your in I guess

Cute and sweet...my my, I've evolved since my first ER read. Since when an ER is cute and sweet?

I meant it in a good way, the characters and plot were cute and sweet...simple storyline with simple resolution, mixed with lots of hot scenes.

It's hot and captured my attention enough to keep me on the elliptical for 20 miles over 4 days resulting 2 pounds loss, woohoo!

Hmmmm...yummy cowboys. Jenna was clueless, but very likable. Slade was too used to someone new every night and was ready for a change. Mustang had good insight and could see what his friend couldn't even admit to himself. I liked the story quite a bit. The sex was hot and the connection between all the characters worked really well.

'Ah, irony' is my first thought and impression of the book. The main female character is a romance writer who finds herself needs to write a romance with cowboys as the hero of the piece. During the time frame from denial about her need to embark on the new genre and encountering her cowboys, her latest book is reviewed and the review discusses the boring sex that just goes through the motions without emotion. Supposedly these cowboys teach her sex with emotion and pleasure but I didn't get that...more

I thought the premise of this book was great. Romance writer does research on her upcoming book. I just found that the way she just sort of threw her hands in the air and said “whatever” to a threesome with two strangers was a little farfetched. Having said that the sex was freakin’ hot and I do love a cowboy.

After buying and starting four books this weekend, I finally found my page turner. It wasn't a page turner because of some twist, for me it was because of the writing, I had to know how it ended. There is no angst, no mind fucking just a sweet and sexy story about two people falling in love and 3 people getting it on. :)

Quotes from UnRidden

“Yeah I'm done. Chase frigging Reese." Slade shook his head. Mustang laughed again. Nothing like some good old-fashion jealousy to make a man see clearly. "Yeah, I know. The kid's got balls. I'll give him that. I guess we better show her what real men can do for her, huh?" "Oh yeah." Slade let out a snort. "'You get a buckle for that you know.' Yeah. I bet he made sure she knew that.” — 2 people liked it
