Stranded and Straddled
When a freak snowstorm strands Lacey at a crowded Oklahoma rest stop, she thinks things can’t possibly get worse. Until she bumps into Trace Allen. Bull rider, ex-boyfriend, and all-around bad boy, Trace plucks her off her feet and invites her into his warm travel trailer.
But Lacey has her misgivings. Trace is every bit as strong and virile as the bulls he rides--and just as volatile. But when she finds evidence that their bad breakup was a misunderstanding, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about him.
Could Trace’s temper and bad boy exterior hide a tender heart? And will Lacey end up stranded, or straddled by the hottest bad-boy cowboy the rodeo circuit has ever seen?

If the Hero's thoughts were supposed to make the reader root for the couple, it failed for me because he was too focused on his own lust.
The heroine is going to have bruises in her future. I believe in forgiveness but also in protecting yourself from violence.
Nice fantasy though that ends happy.
mature content with biblical profanity

"Stranded and Saddled" by Em Petrova is a hot, quick read. I enjoyed Trace and Lacey's story. Recommend to all fans of romance, and quick reads.

Quick short fast steamy read with limited character development and emotion.
Likely to forget about the book in a week

I received an ARC of this short story, and more so than ever, my reaction after reading it was "Where's the rest of it?". I always wish that Em Petrova's books were longer and more fully fleshed-out, but this one tops my list. She's given us interesting characters with a past history but we never learn more about them than the fact that they're hot for each other. This needs to be expanded into a novella or a full-length novel. I want to know more about these characters--why does Trace have such a terrible temper? Why did his acting out scare Lacey so badly? Why didn't she leave the truck stop with her father? Why didn't Ms. Petrova feel these characters were worth exploring?

This was a great short story that was a fun read for me. It was about 2 lovers who were each stranded in their own way who got caught up in a storm. They both overcame their doubts with passion and want of each other. I really enjoyed it!

Quick, hot second chance story. Trace made Lacey run from him. A blizzard gives him a chance to show her how he really feels. The small things can reveal true feelings. I enjoyed this story.
