Cowboy Games is a STANDALONE HEA! Will Lana save a joystick and ride a cowboy? Let the first chapter lasso you in!

Lana

“Frack! This can’t be right!” Lana tapped on the GPS screen on her fun little rental car. Pulling to the side of the deserted Montana road, Lana couldn’t help but take a look at the natural beauty outside. It would have seemed more awe-inspiring if she hadn’t felt so lost. A hundred miles from the nearest hint of civilization recognized by Google Maps was not the place to be lost. Lana’s over active mind began to imagine the animals waiting to eat her, out in the forest or other worse fates that she had seen on the news back home in Berkeley. Pulling out her phone, she noticed that she had no bars.

“Frackity frack frack frack! For the love of Zelda!” Opening the car door, she stepped out to see whether she could get any bars at all. A part of her knew that it wouldn’t make any difference, but it didn’t stop her from trying. No more bars appeared, which led Lana to make the conclusion that she would have to trust the GPS. It was that or turn back. And since she knew there was nothing but a run-down gas station fifty miles behind her, she figured that her bladder would rather she try to move forward.

She knew that she had been taking a risk traveling out here to meet her longtime online friend, Solar Cowboy. Even now, she couldn’t believe that she had trekked out to the middle of nowhere to meet this person. Who did that? She berated herself for the tenth time in the last hour.

Lana had met a lot of people through The Celestial Prophesy, but few she had connected with like Solar Cowboy. Not in the romantic sense, but as a kindred friend. She had never met him before, but, but it really didn’t matter. When she had told him of her and her best friend/ teammate, Steph’s plan to make a camp for underprivileged girls to learn coding and experience life, he had suggested that she consider his Montana ranch. He had played up how the girls could learn to ride horses, lasso, and code all in one week. When Lana had mentioned it to Steph, she had loved the idea. So, here she was in the middle of nowhere to scope out this ranch.

“Great idea, Lana. World-class idea to come out to the middle of nowhere to meet a guy you really don’t know. What if he’s an ax murderer?” Looking over her shoulder at the road traveled, her bladder insisted that she move forward toward hopefully, a bathroom. If she didn’t find civilization soon, she’d be squatting for sure.

Getting back in the car, she huffed as she resigned herself to trusting the car GPS that she hoped had been upgraded in the last year. “Should have downloaded the directions on your phone before you left, dummy!” She pounded the steering wheel with her palm before she pulled the mustang back onto the desolate highway.

Jesse

“What the fuck are you doing, Cody?” Jesse couldn’t help but laugh as he watched his seventeen-year-old brother race around the house throwing things this way and that. “Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the cleaning, but why now? What’s your rush?”

“She’s coming!” Cody let out almost a boyish squeal as he loaded up his arms with clothes and other random junk that had been lying around.

Jesse followed his brother’s mad dash into their bachelor-pad like kitchen. Jesse rarely understood his younger brother. Cody had always been geeky. Preferring to spend time on his computer rather than riding the range with Jesse. Often Jesse felt bad for Cody. He had been born in the wrong place. He would have been much better suited in the Silicon Valley rather than Somewhere Valley, Montana. After the sudden death of their parents when Cody was fourteen, Jesse had hoped that he could find a way to bridge their gap of personalities, but no such luck.

“Fuck! She’s almost here and it looks like this?” Cody whined.

If you like smokin' hot cowboys, then this one is for you! All the sexy cowboy without the cow smell! For 18+.

I'm just a girl who loves romance with heat in my books. From a young age, I used to sneak romance novels to read in the middle of the night. The more smut the better! When I'm not picturing men in kilts, or preferably nothing at all, I like to read, watch movies, and eat as much ice cream as possible!

Feel free to contact me! I love to hear from my readers! :)

Can I just say...I really want a cowboy now? I absolutely loved this book! The heat between Jesse and Lana was just right! I loved the plot...not a love triangle at all, but still the right amount of tension between the two brothers when it came to Lana. I also loved the history about Outlaws Pass and how it was weaved into the story. Jesse and Lana have this undeniable chemistry together and it surprises them both. I love how Jesse was not afraid to accept what was happening between them...in fact...he embraced it! It was refreshing to see a man who knew exactly what he wanted! When I finished the book, I felt complete...like I had Jesse and Lana's full story and I love how Audrey Randall is able to do that. She doesn't leave you wanting more and I mean that in a good way. She makes you feel blissfully complete and makes you just want to sigh...aahh! Great job and I definitely recommend this book...just look at the cover!

Yes! Cowboy Games – another book in Audrey Randall’s Celestial Prophecy Series. I have read the previous two and could not wait for the third instalment. This story follows Lana, one of the gaming team and Steph’s (from Playing Her Game) best friend.

Lana’s long time cyber friend, Solar Cowboy – aka Cody - persuades her that his ranch would be the perfect place for her and Steph to establish their coding school for underprivileged girls. This is an opportunity too good to resist and Lana travels to the middle of Montana, looking forward to meeting her friend face-to-face as well as sussing out the ranch. Unfortunately for Lana, Cody has conveniently forgotten to mention that he is way younger than he’d intimated online, that the ranch is owned by his older brother – Jesse (the sexiest cowboy Lana has ever seen) - and that he hasn’t actually asked said brother whether he would approve the scheme.

Jesse, assuming that Lana is one of his brother’s school friends, is floored when she arrives. Her green eyes, her multi-coloured hair and her curvy body captivate him and, inexplicably, he finds himself agreeing to show her around the ranch with a view to maybe, possibly allowing her to set up some kind of clinic. Lana, in turn is entranced by Jesse; this devastatingly handsome cowboy who is so tall and muscular yet has the grace of a jungle cat. He is doing things to her emotions that are positively illegal.

Confronted by feelings that neither expected nor wanted, Jesse and Lana are drawn to each other and despite being from completely opposite backgrounds, their attraction is undeniable. True love isn’t always a smooth ride though (see what I did there…) and there are a few hiccups along the way!

The thing I love about Audrey Randall’s books is that they are not just all about sex - steamy though it is! She weaves an interesting story around the couple, one that captures the imagination and hooks you in from the get go. Her characters are so believable - normal everyday people who have normal everyday hang-ups, but who discover that they share a special something that fires the blood.

Cowboy Games does not disappoint and much as I love the previous two in the series, this one is my favourite. A hot cowboy, a nerdy gamer, a sprawling ranch - the perfect setting for a delicious romance - and who needs a joy stick when you have a horse! If I could give this book ten stars I would! Enjoy the ride!

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of Cowboy Games and this review is my unbiased opinion

Somethings are undeniable: feeling lost , feeling unsure of the path your on in life and feeling an instant attraction. Lana feels lost, not just because she is on her way to a ranch in the middle of nowhere Montana. Jesse can't believe his brother, Cody invited a girl, a hot girl to their ranch, into their very messy home. Neither, Lana or Jesse could fight the instant attraction they felt, but they had to take Cody's feeling.
Every time I read one of Audrey's books I get swept away and all of life's little worries melt away. This book is a great escape from your troubles.

I love everything about Lana, in the gaming world everyone knows her. Jesse is exactly the kind of cowboy you'd want to stumble across learn how to ride a horse with. Seeing such differences between these two and at the same time a connection makes you want to see where their story takes us. Cody, Jesses's younger brother is so sweet and I adore him. This is a great read, was my first book by this author but will not be my last.

This was my first book by this author but definitely not my last. The characters were well developed and very likeable. I usually can't read books that are told in more than 1 point of view. The author did a great job that I didn't find the 2 point of views in this book hard to follow. I just loved the chemistry between Lana and Jesse although I did feel bad for Cody. I do think Lana and Jesse should've come clean vs Cody finding out the way he did about them. I really wasn't sure how this would turn out reading a cowboy book since it was my first but I really enjoyed it. I've been glued to this book every free minute I've had. Grab this book and get reading, you won't be sorry.

What an amazing quick read, I love love love this book! What an amazing author Audrey Randall is. I've got say it's another steamy book!

Meet Lana

Lana shakes her head as she says“Frack! This can’t be right!” Lana immediately tapped on the GPS screen on her funky little rental car. When Lana pulls up to the side of the deserted Montana road, Lana suddenly stopped and couldn’t help but take a look at the natural beauty outside. It definitely would have seemed more awe-inspiring if she hadn’t felt so lost and alone. Around hundred miles from the nearest hint of civilization recognized by Google Maps was not the best place to be lost. Lana’s over active mind suddenly began to imagine that there are animals waiting to eat her.
Out in the open forest or other worse fates. Other fates that Lana had seen on the news back home in Berkeley. Lana decides to pull out her phone when she noticed that she had no bars. This wasn't good

Lana groans and shakes her head again “Frackity frack frack frack! Oh for the love of Zelda!” Opening the car door, Lana stepped out to see whether it was possible that she could get any bars at all. A small part of her knew that it wouldn’t make the slightest bit of difference to the situation. But it didn’t stop Lana from trying. No more bars appeared on her phone. This then led Lana to make the only conclusion that she would now have to trust the GPS. It was either trust the GPS or turn back and head home. Since Lana now knew there was nothing but a run-down gas station which was fifty miles behind her. Lana figured that her bladder would rather she try to move forward.

Lana knew that she'd been taking a huge risk traveling out here. Lana was going to meet her longtime online friend. Lana's online friend was known as Solar Cowboy. Even now, Lana couldn’t believe that she had trekked way out to the middle of nowhere just to meet this person. Who in their right mind ever did that? Lara berated herself for what seemed the hundredth time within the last hour.

Lana had met a lot of people through The Celestial Prophesy gaming circuit. Only a few that she had connected with like Solar Cowboy. In Lana's case not in the romantic sense, but as a true kindred friend. Lana had never met him before,It's not like it really didn’t matter. When Lana had told him of her and her best friend/ teammate, Steph’s plan. Steph and Lana plan to make a camp for very underprivileged girls to help learn coding and experience life. Solar Cowboy had suggested that Lana consider his Montana ranch. Solar Cowboy had played up with how the girls could learn to ride horses, even learn to lasso, and code all in one week. When Lana had finally mentioned it to Steph. Steph had loved the idea. So, here Lana was in the middle of nowhere to scope out this ranch. Would Lana ever find the ranch?

“Great idea, Lana. A world-class idea to come out to the middle of nowhere only to meet a guy you really don’t know. Have you asked or thought to yourself what if he’s an ax murderer?” Looking over her shoulder at the long dusty road she had traveled on. Lana's bladder kept on insisting that she move forward toward hopefully to find a bathroom. If Lana didn’t find any signs of civilization soon, she knew she would be squatting for sure.

Finally getting back in the car, Lana huffed as she had now resigned herself to trusting the car's built in GPS that Lana hoped had been upgraded in the last year. “I should have downloaded the directions on my phone before you left. I'm such a big dummy!” Lana pounded hard on the steering wheel with her palm. Just before she pulled the mustang back onto the desolate dusty highway.

Meet Jesse

Jesse was shaking his after he asked “What the fuck are you doing, Cody?” Jesse couldn’t do nothing but laugh as he watched his seventeen-year-old brother Cody; race around the house as he was throwing things this way and that. Jessie still laughing at Cody as he said“Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the cleaning, but why now? What’s your rush?”

Cody stopped and looked at Jesse like he had horns growing out of his head as he said “She’s coming!” Cody let out almost a loud boyish squeal as he loaded up his arms with clothes and so much more other random junk that had been lying around the place.

Jesse followed his brother’s crazy mad dash into their bachelor-pad like kitchen. Jesse very rarely understood his younger brother. Cody had always been a geeky kinda guy. With Cody preferring to spend most of his spare time on his computer; rather than riding out on the the range with Jesse. So many times Jesse felt bad for Cody. Cody had been born in the totally wrong place. Cody would have been so much better suited in the Silicon Valley, rather than their hometown of Somewhere Valley, Montana. After the sudden and quick death of their parents when Cody was fourteen. Jesse had hoped that he and Cody could find ways to try and bridge their gap of personalities. There had been no such luck.

Cody starts getting frustrated especially when he looks at the time“Fuck! She’s almost here and it looks like this?” Cody whined.

I got an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review :) I honestly have to say that after finishing it, I was going back and forth for quite some time, trying to decide how to rate this story... :) ultimately, I landed on four stars, because even though there were a few things that bothered me, in the end it was a fun read :) since the book itself was definitely more on the short side, my review will be a bit shorter than usual as well, because I don't want to spoil you every little detail that happens in it :) so how about I will tell you a bit about the story and main characters and then share with you my thoughts and feelings after finishing it :)

We meet Lana when she is a bit lost in the middle of nowhere :) what is she doing there? well, that is a good question :) Lana is a professional player... as in, she plays professionally in all sorts of virtual games for a living :) but now she is looking to make a bit of a change :) with her friends, she wants to find a place to start a camp for underprivileged girls where they can learn coding, as well as spent some time outside :) so when one of her online friends offers up his ranch, she is headed there to check it out :) imagine her surprise, when she discovers that this offer came from a boy still in high school :) talk about awkward... ;) and things only get more interesting when she meets Cody's older brother... Jesse... :) where she is definitely more on the talkative side, he is... well, a man of a few words, that's for sure :) so even though they seem like day and night, there is definitely an insane level of attraction from the very moment they meet :) because her coming to their ranch was quite a surprise for Jesse... that's what happens when your younger brother forgets to tell you stuff :) ok, so that's pretty much everything I can tell you about the premise of the book, mainly because the majority of it, takes place over only a few days :) so any additional informations would be too spoilerific :) so instead let me jump into my thoughts and feelings about this story :)

So first of all, even though I definitely had fun reading this book, there were parts when it was just... well... too much too fast... :) don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the heat and chemistry from the moment you meet someone... I have read and enjoyed many books that started the same ;) but it's the amount of time that passed from the attraction to the I-can't-imagine-my-life-without-you part that made me raised my eyebrow in doubt... ;) not to mention a few twists that happened after those initial few days... :) but not all books we read have to be realistic, right? ;) when it comes to the writing style, it was definitely entertaining :) Audrey is a new author to me, and I am curious about her other stories... especially since this one can be read as a standalone, but certain secondary characters we met here already have their books published :) so you can check them out if you want to :) as for this particular one... :) if you want a quick and smutty story... and I am NOT saying that as an insult, just an observation, because I know that not everyone might be a fan ;) with fun and entertaining characters, definitely give this one a try ;)

XOXO

Cowboy Games was exactly what I needed to take my mind off my busy life and escape into a world where love connections are immediate and electric.

I loved that this story was a quick read, the characters had a chance meeting and they both felt they had met their soul mate from the get go. Once in a while, I enjoy a book with no lengthy foreplay with characters that aren’t afraid to listen to what their body wants and give into the chemistry. When soul mates finally meet, what is the sense in postponing the inevitable. Lana and Jesse do just that, despite the reasons they shouldn’t.

This story is part of the Celestial Prophecy Series but is a standalone. This was my first book by this author and I was not aware there were previous books in this series until after I had read it. I went in blind and I did not feel I had missed out at any point so reading the books in order is definitely not required. It is written in dual POV, which I love in a book. No second-guessing what the characters are thinking, they come right out and tell you. The author does a great job when switching POV’s and never leaves you confused.

Lana is inexperienced at love and Jesse knows just what she needs to bring her pleasure like none other could ever do. Jesse’s seductive voice and imagination provide some very hot and steamy scenes that are sure to have you melting. Their witty banter and suggestive innuendos had me smiling and fanning myself in the same paragraph. His lifelong haystack fantasy had me devouring the words wishing for a barn of my own, along with a hot cowboy of course.

I recommend this book for anyone looking for a fun read with a little trouble in paradise but an oh so hot and delicious ride into the HEA sunset. I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review.

"After the initial shock of their shared chemistry, Lana realized something else surprising. Jesse may have looking like a granite-hewn man, bu this lips were soft and warm. And perhaps the most surprising..... They felt like home."

5 Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy Stars! I'll always read anything Audrey puts out, but this one takes the cake.

Lana is a total gamer geek girl and she doesn't hide it. So when an opportunity arises for her to head out to Montana, on the premise to open a coding school for girls... she jumps at the chance. And she also gets to hang out with her number one fan Cody. Cody fails to mention his hotter than Hades brother Jesse, so when Lana sees him she knows she's in trouble. Jesse has taken over the ranch since his parents died and essentially takes over raising Cody. And when Lana shows up, he has no clue why she's there (Cody fails to mention this to him). But he knows that this nerdy girl can and will bring him to his knees. And as much as these two try to resist each other, there's no way they can stay away... The problem? Cody also has a crush on Lana... What could possibly go wrong??

Okay I loved this whole fish out of water thing going on. Lana is a city girl, used to being indoors playing her computer games, etc. Then she's thrown out into the middle of nowhere and with people she doesn't know and she has to adapt. I loved her little "gamer" one liners! So funny. And let me just say Jesse is the epitome of a gentleman. I couldn't put this book down and was sad when it was over. But I loved every page. And the chemistry between Lana and Jesse is off the charts! Great job once again Audrey!

Cowboy Games was my first Audrey Randall read. This is part of the Celestial Prophecy Series, I didn't realize that when I decided to read it, completely my own fault for not paying attention and being so eager to read it! That all being said, you can totally read it on its own.

I like this story, it was unique and totally different from my usual Alpha Billionaire and brooding Bad Boys. Every once in a while it's good to switch it up.

Lana is a fun loving, quirky pro-gamer. She's come to Outlaw Pass to see if it's a good for for the program her and her friend want to run for wayward girls. When she is instantly struck by Jesse. He is a hard-working, keep-to-himself kind of cowboy, who happens to be the owner of the ranch.

Now these two are not the most likely pair. They are from two totally different worlds. She's a tech geek and professional video gamer player, a celebrity in her world. He's a man of few words and prefers the quieter and more simple things in life; he'd probably prefer the company of his cattle more than that of people. But when Jesse lays eyes on Lana, something changes. From the get-go their attraction to one another is undeniable and super charged.

The chemistry between them is great and I love their banter back and forth, especially her quirkiness. It was really quite humours.

The one thing that threw me off though, was that it was written in 3rd person but alternating POV's. I have not read many 3rd POV, so I was kind of taken by surprise. It wasn't a total deal buster and I recommend you give this quirky and fun-loving story a chance, I rather quite enjoyed it!

Cowboys Games was a fantastic book, Audrey Randell has done it again.

This is the third book in the Celestial Prophecy Series and they just keep getting better and better.

I am a fan of the cowboys and I loved this story especially with the two different worlds colliding with her from the tech world and him from the country and working on the land.

I loved the instalove and the connection they had straight away. I also loved Jesse’s brother he was a great character and was just such a big part of the story and I loved that.

I loved Lana, she was a great character and loved how independent she was and never needed a man, she had a big heart and never wanted to come between them. I also loved that she wasn’t perfect and that’s what Jesse loved about her the most

Jesse had given up his life after his parents died to look after his brother, and the relationship they had was such a great bond. Jesse didn't really speak or have much to say and was quite broody until Lana comes into his life and she changed him for the better.

What I really loved about this book was the history of the land and the story behind how the land was named it was beautiful to read.

If you looking for a quick read but full of love, storytelling, hot cowboy, beautiful girl, an awesome hot read then this is the book you are looking for.

Thank you Audrey for giving me the chance to read your novel early it was fantastic.

Wow! What a sexy hot read! This is my first book by Audrey Randall but it definitely won't be my last! If you love cowboys or video games then you will love this story.

Lana is a pro gamer girl who sets off to Montana to look at a ranch for a coding school for underprivileged girls. While she's there she gets to meet her #1 fan Cody. She was very surprised to find out about he has a hot hunk of a brother named Jesse.

Jesse us a rancher who is normally quiet and keeps to himself. He is the guardian of his adolescent brother after their parents were killed in an accident. Other than taking care of Cody his life only consists of taking care of all the farm animals and the ranch.

When Jesse sets his eyes on Lana his world will be changed forever! The attraction between them was instant and undeniable. The chemistry between Jesse and Lana is panty melting hot! There is one problem with their relationship thiugh. Cody has a huge crush on Lana. How will this play out? Will Jesse and Lana's relationship get to grow and blossom or will Cody's anger tear them apart?

I really did enjoy this book!! I was given this ARC for an honest review.

A cowboy and the geek.

What happens when your young brother invites a woman he met online to use the family farm for a project. You get Lana,a gamer who thinks Cody is older than 17, so in steps Jesse his older brother who happens to be in charge of the ranch.

Jesse is attracted to Lana and the feelings are mutual. So rather than turn her away after her trip Jesse resolves to try and help Lana, so when the pair grow close things get complicated when they start a relationship,they want to keep it quiet until they can figure out how to tell Cody, who has a massive crush on Lana. The two brothers are quite different Jesse is a cowboy and Cody is computer geek, but Lana can't help liking Jesse even though he is that much different from her.

Not only is Lana and Jesse's jobs different they both have different back grounds, but with the instant connection they feel will they be able to make it work, without anything or anyone coming between them.

This was fast paced chapter read in dual POV of some insta love between a gamer and a cowboy.

I received an arc in return for my honest opinion.

***5 The Cowboy and The Nerd Stars***

Well..... To say I'm speechless is an understatement. Cowboy Games by Audrey Randall was so drool worthy! A hot and mothered cowboy who knows just how to make a girl lose her panties. XD

This book was funny, and downright sexy!
Its about a girl who is finding her way in life, and meets a cowboy who becomes the man of her dreams.

 photo bfwJQ4opHThg4_zpsw9kpzun3.gif

The instant pull of attraction between Jesse and Lana go don't go unnoticed. They can't keep their hands off of each-other. If I was Lana I wouldn't want to let him go either. *wink* *wink*

I have read all of Audrey Randall's books and they always leave a big ole smile on my face. Definitely one of my new favorites of hers.

Hee-haw!!! What a hot piece of cowboy heaven!! This story was full of so much cowboy sexiness that will leave you hot under the collar.

Jesse owns a ranch with his teenage brother, Cody. He was left to take care of him when their parents unexpectedly died in a car accident. Unbeknownst to Jesse, Cody has invited pro video gamer, Lana to come visit the farm and to discuss setting up a coding camp for girls. Once Lana arrives, sparks immediately fly between Jesse and Lana. The attraction is very powerful. The one problem? Cody has a big crush on Lana and she refuses to destroy the 2 brothers' relationship. Having grown up in an orphanage, Lana feels strongly about that.

There wasn't a lot of angst in this story. It has a steady pace and it flowed nicely. I liked the characters and the story plot. The author paints such a beautiful picture of Jesse and Cody's family history. The ending is the best part. What a wonderful conclusion. I would definitely recommend this book.

I have always had a deep love for anything cowboy related, from westerns on tv to romance novels so I was really excited to read this story. Audrey did such a great job writing this that it's so effortless! She did such a good job of bringing in true aspects of the rancher life and she did a great job of making more like what you would expect to find today. Lana being a part of the gaming community gave this book such a great twist!

Jesse being the rancher/cowboy and Lana being the gamer were such an interesting combo! Lana cracks me up with her funny and nerdy phrases, just from the Blurb with her "frack" I was cracking up! And Jesse like to be whitty about it. They are such a great pair! I don't want to give to much away but they are the perfect pairing of "city" and "country". Audrey did such a great job with these characters, from their personalities, to the vocabulary they use, to the actual culture of where the book is set.

I can't wait to read more of her work!!!

Cowboy
By Audrey Randall
5 stars.

Book three just like the first two didn’t disappoint. I loved how this book started out. Traveling to the middle of nowhere to meet up with someone off the internet. Little did, Lana know this boy was underage with a sexy brother running the show. Visualizing this sexy man with a kinky side sent exotic thrills throughout my body. The attraction between the two radiated off each of them like sweat from a hundred-degree day in the balmy south. One problem to overcome was the fact the young lad had a crush on his much older online-gaming buddy. Who knew this awkward older brother had a romantic side all women want. Jesse can sweep me off my feet any day of the year.
This book is a hot, steamy, and a must. Grab your copy today!

I'm in love with Mrs. Randall's stories, book 3 and still going Nerd strong. The way the Geeky and Nerdy, are written you see them in a different, sexier way, that is panty melting. NERD IS THE NEW sexy! Lana was secretly my favorite, she a curvy nerd girl on the Celestial prophesy team lipstick and sass.. (reminded me of someone, hmm... I wonder) I was excited to find out she gets a rough and rugged Cowboy to ride, you know us nerd girls into country, save a joystick ride a cowboy, you are going to need many change of panties... and maybe some relief from your B.OB. &\or significant nerdy other...

Smart, sweet, and sexy instalove! I enjoy a quirky heroine. Add a hot cowboy capable of witty banter, creative love making, surmountable conflict (see witty banter), and a HEA. This is a quick read that will take your mind off your day-to-day and have you single ladies considering a vacation to Montana. (I'd have to bring my husband so... back to living vicariously through Lana and Jesse.)

I recommend this book for the reader looking for something light-hearted and FUN. (It's also well-edited and free from distractions.) I was fortunate to receive an ARC from the author and this is my real opinion.

You know what they say... Save a horse, ladies.

I received the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

From start to finish, I was addicted to this story! I couldn't put it down. I'm so happy Lana got her story and her own happy ending. She definitely deserved love. I can't think of one thing that needed improvement. It certainly got steamy up in there! I really hope there is more to come in this series.

I didn't know what I would think of this book, I mean a cowboy and a gamer nerd?? Come on now??

But Seriously, I LOVEEEED it.... Being a gamer nerd myself, I kept squealing on little bits and pieces.... because lemme tell you, some of my top loves are Mario, Luigi, Shadowmere, and Zelda.... oh and fucking cowboys!

Lana and Jesse were fucking scalding hot, and the storyline flowed amazingly well. I felt bad for Cody but I'm so glad that everything turned out well for them....

I read this book in almost one damn sitting it was so good! I highly recommend!!!!

****SOME SPOILERS****

Hang up you VR set, saddle up and be ready for lots of long, hard, hot rides.

You get some of the lovable character's from the first two books and some new ones that you can't help but fall for. There is loads of hot sex which is hotter than the cattle brander.

Lana has gone to the middle of no man's land (Montana) to meet her long time cyber friend Solar Cowboy for the first time in person. She has gotten to know him through the gaming network The Celestial Prophesy and now he's offered his ranch to help underprivileged girls learn code and have fun learning about horses and how to ride. What Lana wasn't expecting was the hottest guy she had ever seen to be staring her down like she was his last meal. Steel grey eyes, dark hair build like a God Cody's older brother Jesse was one hot sexy cowboy. Lana's about to be taken on the ride of her life and not the virtual or B.O.B she's used to. But Lana's reality they live in two different worlds can Jesse lasso her in a country ranch lifestyle that she knows is running through his veins.

Jesse has no idea that a game loving Rainbow Brite is about to turn his world upside down and make his heart bear faster than his galloping horse. She's a green eyed, multi-coloured haired curvy beauty. Jesse opens up to Lana which shocks everyone around him because they think he's broady and his life is the ranch that has got so much family history to it. He knows Lana is it for him and wants to drag her off caveman style and make babies with her. But he can't force her to give up her city life to live a quiet life on a ranch and he didn't need to because she made the decision for him.

You get to look 10 years into the future. Will Lana & Jesse have a HEA future together?
Will Lana stay in her VR land or go cattle country?

Find your cowboy here!

This is the third book in this series by Audrey Randall, and it was even more enjoyable than the other two. It is a standalone story, so you don't need to have read the other two to appreciate it more. There are recurring characters and stuff brought up from the previous story, but all the background needed was said. If you love a cowboy story with an intense case of instalove, look no further! This story has plenty of sizzling hot moments to keep the romance readers happy.

This story focuses on Lana and Jesse. Lana is a geeky gamer with spunk and her own sense of individuality. Since she grew up as an orphan, she values family, and since she grew up in the city, she's unused to the country. However, once she meets Jesse, she gets a good taste. Jesse is your gruff, lean cowboy, with a hidden poetic side that makes you smile and giggle. Together, the two have an instant connection that is sweet and smoking.

Overall, I really liked the story! Like the previous books in the series, there is a thread of plot weaving itself through the story, so if you're looking for a great, intricate plot, look elsewhere. If you're like me and looking for a sweet and steamy romance with likeable characters, then you've come to the right place. It makes you feel good in all the right places, and you won't regret spending the time reading the shortish book. It's a well-written story with very few grammar mistakes and has decent pacing, in between all the romps that Lana and Jesse get into. If you need a good pick me up or enjoy your hot cowboys with a heavy dose of instalove, I highly recommend this book!

Double sigh worthy

What is not to love about this book? It was my first but not my last. It's a part of a series I think but I don't think you need others to read it. The cover is too hot for words. A great get away from your busy life to escape in Cowboy Games. We all dream about having insta-love connection. I kept imagining Jesse had a George Strait smile/smirk. Being a geek myself, I would love to be appreciated like that. Cowboys just represent being a true man. Double sigh worthy.

City girl Lana is a professional video game player. She gets invited by Solar Cowboy (Cody) to check out "his" ranch and see if it's the right fit for a camp for underprivileged girls to learn coding and experience life. When Lana gets to Cody's house she's in for a big surprise. Cody is a 17 year old high school student but he has an older brother named Jesse. Sparks fly between Jesse and Lana and a sweet romance begins. There are lots of twists and turns in this story but they make it worth the readers time. Will Jesse and Lana stay together and get their HEA or will Cody come between them.

This is my first book by this author and I looked forward to reading more. When I saw the title, I must admit I was thinking a different kind of Cowboy games. This is a good quick opposites attract story. I like that this wasn't just another over sexed book it had a great story line too. The characters were believable and well developed. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

Cowboy meet gamer

This book was better than I thought I would be. Meet the gamer who was tricked my a 17 year old cowboy with some wicked gaming skills. Although his intentions are the best what neither of them see is the romance that blooms between gamer & big brother.

Review, spoilers!!!:
Lana is a professional video game player and has met Solar Cowboy through The Celestial Prophesy.
Lana and her best friend Steph have a plan to make a camp for underprivileged girls to learn coding and experience life. Solar Cowboy invited her to his ranch to see if they can hold the camp there.
When she gets to his house, she finds out that Solar Cowboy is named Cody and is a 17 y/o high schooler. Cody lives with his older brother Jesse who is a real cowboy. Lana when she meets Jesse: Oh my Princess Peach, who is that fine specimen of man? I really like all the game references. She had me laughing out loud often.
Jesse and Lana fall for each other and begin a secret romance. Cody finds out and all hell breaks loose. Lana flees the ranch and in the end Jesse, with the help of Cody win her back. There is a surprise!!
The sex scenes can be hot and let`s face it: Save a Horse or in this case a joystick and ride a Cowboy!!

What I liked:
A cowboy and a virgin female gamer…. All the game references are great. I laughed a lot.
I get my HEA and there is no cheating.
I also really liked the epilogues, as in more than one. Whoop!

What I didn`t like:
Some words had me cringing, like: Nubbin or soft petals or delicate flower  but that is just my pet peeve.
Also I didn`t like that she ran at the first sign of trouble. She should have stayed and talked to Jesse and Cody.
