Book 3 in the Hotel Rodeo series, Zac and Delaney's story.
I had real problems with Delaney in the first two books because she came across as a real bitch and her interactions with, and attitude towards Ty were quite nasty. We get to see things from her POV this time around and while her attitude towards Ty is not necessarily forgivable, it is a little more understandable.
Zac though, he is just yummy. He knows what he wants and he wants Delaney, has wanted her in fact, for eight years but had to ...more

HERE'S A SNIPPET FROM MY WIP, BEAUTY & THE BULL RIDER (HOTEL RODEO#3)
Delaney gave a snort of disbelief. “Does that one really work for you, Zac?”
He met her gaze unsmilingly. “I’ve never had to resort to pick up lines, Delaney. If I want a woman, I just say so.”
“Really? It’s that easy for you.”
“Yup. Pretty much.” He looked away as if embarrassed and drained his glass.
Delaney took the opportunity to study Zac’s profile. His eyes were deep set and his nose was slightly crooked with a small hump ju ...more

Beauty and the Bull Rider was a quick, fun and entertaining read.
It had the perfect amount of romance and drama for a short story.
Loved how passionate Zac was, he knew Delaney was the one for him, I enjoyed watching them get together.
The Hotel Rodeo has been a fun and entertaining read, highly recommend it.
Thank you Kensington Books ~ Lyrical Shine for the advance copy.

Zac has wanted Delaney for years and know that he has retired form Bull R

This third installment of the Hotel Rodeo series of novellas was one I anticipated after the way things were set up in the last book. The spotlight has shifted from Ty and Monica to Zac and Delaney who were minor characters in the other books. The humor and heat competed in this fun, heartwarming story.
As noted, this is the third book. It really needs to be read in order even if the main characters are different because the story line began in the other books as did the intro to the characters.

"Beauty and the Bull Rider" by Victoria Vane
My Thoughts...
Delaney and Zac are really made for each other. If you have read this author's first two series you can see that Delaney was some piece of work for all those that were around her especially her ex husband Ty. In this read we find that Delaney wants something from Ty and I still can't believe she wou ...more
Paige's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
While insisting it’s all just a passing fancy, the more Delaney sees the softer side of the rough and tumble cowboy, the harder it is to keep her emotions corraled. Zac, meanwhile, is more determined than ever to prove he’s what she really needs, and will do whatever it takes to tear down the mile high fence around her heart…
It was a good read about the one that got away and a marriage of convenience. Zach and Delany have a past relationship. ...more

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~
This is the third book in the series - and the first few pages are from the second book. Because whilst the first two are about Ty and Monica, this deals with the issue that Delaney raises with Ty in Two to Wrangle, and he tells his best friend Zac. And what fun comes from that conversation!

A love story entertaining, sexy and romantic between a cowboy and a beautiful woman.
The only woman Zac had ever wanted is Delaney. She preferred to marry his best friend and he has suffered in silence. The marriage ended badly. Delaney now feels the strong urge to motherhood but doesn't want a husband nor a boyfriend, just want a sperm donor. Zac has spent all his life doing rodeos.

Beauty And The Bull Rider is the third book in the Hotel Rodeo series and while it was another okay read for this series, I wish there it would have been even better than the previous two books but sadly it stayed on the same level. Now don’t get me wrong it is a good way to pass an afternoon, but I just didn’t connect with Zach and Delany. Maybe it is because of the previous marriage between Delany and Ty (from the previous books) or if it is the author’s w ...more

This is the third book in the Hotel Rodeo series and if you haven't already read the first two books, give them a try. They're quick, easy and enjoyable reads.
In book three, we reacquaint ourselves with Zac and Delaney, who we've briefly encountered in the first two books.
Delaney has blamed Zac for everything that's gone wrong for her and she's developed a stubborn streak. Determined to do everything herself, she surprised to run into the rodeo stud, who she is still very wary of.

Zac knows how to get to the point, “you want it straight? I heard you were looking for a stud of your own, and I’d like to offer my services.” Zac and Delaney are perfect for each other she's just as blunt as him, "he took a bite and almost choked. He swallowed it down with a healthy swig of wine. “You want to know the last time I jacked off? Why do you need to know that?” I really enjoyed this book I loved Zac.

Delaney McCall has been an important secondary character in the first two Hotel Rodeo books, because she’s an important person in Ty Morgan’s life. But her introduction in Hell on Heels may not dispose readers any too kindly towards Ty’s ex-wife.
It’s pretty obvious in Hell on Heels that Delaney is the source of all too many of Ty’s trust issues when it comes to women, and the breakup of their marriage has definitely made him gun shy of commitments, an issue ...more

ARC Review: Beauty and the Bull Rider
The third installment in the Hotel Rodeo Series left me wanting more. This book was full of wonder from start to finish. While I absolutely loved Ty and Monica from the first two with their explosive chemistry, Delaney and Zac are so sweet they made me ache! Zac, whom we know as Ty’s oldest friend (despite a fallout, until recently in the previous book), is at the end of his Bull Riding days. He is back in Oklahoma as the head of the Circle B Ranch, and he i ...more

I have been dying for a really good cowboy book, I think it's because it's been cold and I've been missing Texas and my husband and I can't stop talking about buying horses.

Ms. Vane is a new author to me and Beauty and the Bull Rider is the third book in the Hotel Rodeo series.

He's too old for this life and wants to settle down and have a family. The problem? His eight-year fantasy is called Delaney McCall.

My favourite of the series!
Zac McDaniel is a cowboy through and through. As his bull riding career ends, he is looking forward to settling down and enjoying the ranch life he loves. Little did he know that Delaney McCall was going to move from his dreams and become his reality in a future he never dreamed he could have.
Delaney, on the other hand, didn’t dream about true love but did yearn for a family of her own. She approaches it clinically, just like she does the cows she is breeding, but Zac ...more
The third in the Hotel Rodeo series focuses only tangentially on our earlier couple Ty and Monica. Ty’s ex-wife Delaney, former beauty queen with all of the baggage that comes with someone who is used to not having to compromise for what she wants is the focus, and her now rampant baby fever. When her request to Ty to father a child for her fails, she’s upset but wondering on her next move.

Zac has the chance - finally! - to get the girl of his dreams. He's waited eight long years, watched her marry his best friend, and now... Well, now it's his turn to show her he's the perfect man for her and has been all along. With nothing more than a playboy attitude and a past riddled with multiple women, Zac had his work cut out if he was going to convince Delaney he wanted to be more to her than just a sperm donor.

The night Zac first saw Delaney he was with his best friend, Ty. They both thought she was beautiful, but Zac thought she would never take up with a lowly cowboy. Ty figured he would give it a chance and the dance turned into a marriage, but Ty wasn't ready to be tied down and Delaney and Ty divorced, this left Delaney with half Ty's ranch and a guarded heart.
Now years later, Zac has decided to act on his attraction to Delaney. She wants a baby, he can help with that, but not just a baby though ...more

As usual, Victoria Vane always grabs me from the get-go, and she did it again with this one, which features Ty's old, but somewhat estranged friend, Zac McDaniel, and Delaney, Ty's ex-wife. As this story opens, Zac is nursing a broken wrist, and has yet to ride his rank bull in the PBA finals. He attempts to use his other hand and makes the 8-second ride, but gets hun ...more

1) You agree to go into business with your estranged friend;
2) You sell your ailing ranch to fund said partnership;
3) You pursue said friend’s ex-wife and offer to be her baby daddy.

Hee Haw! The first two books in the Hotel Rodeo series weren’t exactly what I expected, but BEAUTY AND THE BULL RIDER is precisely what makes me a huge fan of Victoria Vane’s. Delaney McCall was by far my favourite character in the previous instalments, even though she might have appeared as a bit of a witch, but I love that woman’s gumption! And she lived up to my expectations, and then some! Delaney is Ty Morgan’s ex-wife, and there’s no love lost between those two, however when Ty lets slip t
