About this audiobook
When a patch of ice sends attorney Ginger Paulson head-over-high-heels down a flight of stairs, she has no one to care for her young son and her invalid father—until lethally sexy Kane McKay shows up at the hospital, determined to prove his cowboy chivalry. Past experience has inoculated her against take-charge men, but even Ginger isn't immune to Kane's invasive charm and Built Ford Tough body. For two years rancher Kane McKay has followed the Little Buddies mentoring program's cardinal rule—hands off his Little Buddy Hayden's mama. But one look at Ginger's bruised body and Kane is through watching the stubborn woman take care of everyone but herself. The feisty, curvy redhead needs his help, and he'll give her the hands-on type whether she likes it or not. After Kane throws out doctor's orders and issues his own demands—her full sexual submission—Ginger realizes Kane's caring nature extends beyond just fulfilling her physical needs. Can the former hell-raiser convince the gun-shy single mom to look beyond his past…toward a shared future?

This was another disappointment for me, which makes two in a row (I did not like All Jacked Up). In essence, I found the whole book to be tame. I was not excited about Kane and Ginger. Though there was a bit of a spark between them, the sex scenes were bland, IMO. I think Ms. James can write some scorching scenes, but I felt it was lacking this time around. I also thought this book was too predictable and the storylines are starting to seem the same; the cowboys are all dominant in the bedroom and the heroines seemed scared/unsure and don’t want to admit that they like it. There was no true conflict between them; they just didn’t talk to each other. There was a lot of internal dialogue going on and not enough face to face conversations. Kane didn’t think he was good enough for her since Ginger was a lawyer. Ginger was a bit weary of Kane because of his former playboy ways. I really hope the next one is better. If not, I might be done with this series unfortunately. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This one was about a single mother that falls for a McKay man. They are older, 37 which makes it that much.......read more on my blog iloveladyporn.com

Still fun, but suffers from being in a series. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5There's not much to review, so this will be short.
Kane "Buck" McKay has been trying for years to drop his bad boy reputation. He's cut down on the boozing, stopped skirt-chasing and even signed up to be a mentor to a Little Buddy named Hayden. Unfortunately for him, Hayden's mom, Ginger Paulson, attracts him like flame to a moth, and that's against the program's rules. When she's laid up after a ice-fueled slip down a set of stairs, Kane agrees to help take care of her, her elderly father and Hayden while she heals up.
And, well, that's it. That's what happens. From the get-go they admit their mutual attraction. They have lots of sex starting early in the book and continuing throughout. Neither is pushing the other away or avoiding commitment. They don't use condoms so it must be True Love.
In short - the book completely lacked conflict. There's nothing these two overcome that has them grow as characters. I mean, I guess Ginger learns to rely on someone other than herself, but that is not much of a character arc to speak of. The writing's technically sound, the dialog natural, but the book lacks purpose. The protagonists begin and end the book as the same people, only married and knocked up.
I liked it, I read it in one sitting, but the lack of urgency or growth really made the sex boring. I don't want to just be a voyeur. I need a good reason to watch people bone. /meh - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This series just keeps getting better and better. I continue to love the glimpses into life on a ranch, all the hard work and hardship as well as how families come together and help each other. We have lost so much of that in our rush and scamper lives in the city. Don't get me wrong I love living near a big city, but I could be very happy living in the mountains near a creek with lots of trees and wold animals coming around. There isn't much more I can say about these books. They are well crafted with wonderful characters and the men and women from the previous stories pop in at such unexpected times and places. It truly is a series of books about a very close family and the joys and tragedies that they all face together.
