Book Description

July 10, 2008
COWBOY GAMES [Erotic Contemporary Romance] At Fantasy Ranch, love is a game. THE PLAYERS: Gavin Carter. Gavin owns Fantasy Ranch, a resort where guests get a week of cowboy love with the hottest cowboys in Wyoming. Rebecca Ryder. Rebecca's husband had promised to deliver her fantasy du jour: A cowboy. He died before he could keep that promise. She thinks if she plays the Fantasy Ranch game, just for a second she might have her husband back. And maybe that will be long enough to say goodbye. THE RULES: 1) No sex. 2) No contact or attempted contact after the week is up. Clause number two is accompanied by a clear warning: Any attempt at contact will be considered 'criminal stalking' and treated as such. A sure sign the cowboys are very good at making women think they have fallen in love. Rebecca doesn't expect to break the rules. Or to fall deeply in love. ** Recommended Read: 5 Angels "I thoroughly enjoyed Cowboy Games very much. The sexual tension that developed between Gavin and Rebecca was so hot you would have thought you were in the Mohave Desert. Cowboy Games was such a well written book by Wendi Darlin . When you think of a cowboy as well as how he should be, Gavin is that cowboy. He is sexy, knows how to handle a horse, has that great charm cowboys have about them and he fills out a pair of jeans in all the right areas. Rebecca showed that sometimes you can get lucky twice in finding the man of your dreams. Cowboy Games is filled with romance, fun, a steamy love scene and scorching cowboys. This is why I gave Cowboy Games Five Angels and the title of Recommended Read." --Cheryl, Fallen Angel Reviews. ** Outstanding Read: A "Wendi Darlin's Cowboy Games is one smokin' story. From the first page through the last she takes us on a non-stop ride of sexual tension, teasing and a whole lot of loving. The setting is Wyoming on the "Fantasy Ranch" and by the time you finish reading you'll be looking for some brochures yourself. The characters are strong and tender, stubborn and loving and all together realistic. Cowboy Games is well written, humorous, and filled with smoldering passion. The sexual tension oozes throughout and the secondary plot is strong enough to keep you on edge worrying for our hero and heroine. All things must come to an end and the week at Fantasy Ranch is no different, but we can hope that Ms. Darlin will invite us back for more experiences in the future. Squeezing itself onto my keeper shelf, I'll be looking for more of Ms. Darlin's books to read. I highly recommend you pick this one up and enjoy a little trip to the Fantasy Ranch." --Lynda, Simply Romance Reviews.** 5 Flags: "Wendi Darlin takes you on a long sexy ride with Cowboy Games. From the first page I was hooked and drawn into Rebecca's emotions. Her love for her husband and the pain of his loss was palpable. Yet she was daring too, a strong feisty heroine and one who was a joy to meet. Of course once you encounter Gavin, you can't help but fall head over heels for the gorgeous hunk of a cowboy--damn close to every woman's perfect fantasy! Cowboy Games is an incredibly steamy story. The heat between Gavin and Rebecca is scorching and I'm amazed the pages weren't smokin'. I'd lasso this book right quick and have yourself a good ole' time, just make sure you have something cold nearby to cool you off--you're gonna need it!" --Lynda, Euro-Reviews.** 4 Stars: "Cowboy Games by Wendi Darlin has a very good plot. The plot flows smoothly building up to the pinnacle of passion and love. The characters worked well together. Gavin was strong yet vulnerable. This book is filled with romance, passion, and excitement." --Debra Gaynor, Review Your Book. ** Cowboy Games is a Romance Writers of America's 2008 Linda Howard Award of Excellence WINNER, 2007 Duel on the Delta WINNER, 2007 TARA 3rd Place, and 2007 Beacon 3rd Place.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Story, August 26, 2008
This review is from: Not Available (Kindle Edition)
By Ing ****COURTESY OF WILD ON BOOKS REVIEWS www.wildonbooks.com****

Fantasy Ranch where there are only 2 simple rules to follow.

Rule 1 - No Sex

Rule 2 - No contact or attempted contact after the week is up

For Rebecca Ryder the rules for Fantasy Ranch seem simple enough. A year after her husband Todd's sudden death Rebecca is attempting to get back out and date. Before she is ready to date again Rebecca wants to live out the fantasy that her late husband had promised. They'd had a great sex life that had included lots of role playing and on that last day he had promised to be her cowboy. Rebecca knows in her heart that she'll never ever find anyone that would fill the void or spark the kind of passion that her late husband did. So Rebecca signs up for a week at Fantasy Ranch where she can live out the fantasy about cowboys, who'll say and do all the right things without having to worry about sex and in the process say goodbye. Plus her heart would remain safe. So why does Rebecca feel this instant attraction to her assigned cowboy Gavin Carter? Why is she craving sex with someone other then herself? And why is it when she's in his arms it feels like she is meant to be there and that this isn't fantasy but real?

For Gavin Carter who is part owner of Fantasy Ranch with his brother Garrett this is the perfect job for him. He makes a great living doing what every man would love to do while still being able to have his needs met elsewhere whenever he wants without any hassles of a relationship. Gavin has been through a painful relationship that has made him leery to ever attempt another one. He is happy with the way things are. So why is he constantly thinking of Rebecca and breaking all the Fantasy Ranch rules? Why can't he play the game he normally does with everyone else?

Get ready for this sexually tensed filled ride between Rebecca and Gavin. Both have experienced heartbreak from previous relationships that makes them question their feelings. Both are fighting what they feel for one another and find that they can't keep their actions from being impersonal. They push the boundaries on the rules of Fantasy Ranch.

I found myself enjoying Cowboy Games more then I anticipated. The characters were developed nicely. I understood why they both were hesitant with one another emotionally. The storyline moved along smoothly. The sexual chemistry between Gavin and Rebecca was practically oozing off the pages. I was captivated from the beginning until the end. I found myself falling for Gavin's charisma, wit, and sexiness right along with Rebecca. Gavin was sex on a stick. Rebecca was humorous and bold. The flirtatious banter between the two kept me turning the pages. The second storyline kept me on my toes cringing and scared for the danger that Gavin and Rebecca could face if they were caught not following the rules. There are some definite secondary characters that caught my eye and I'm hoping we'll get a story about Garret and another cowboy at the ranch. The bad guy in this story was a complete jerk and I really wish he'd been punished more ..lol!

The only time I did skim the pages were when the main characters would misunderstand each other over mundane things that I felt could have been resolved easily. Overall though I enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it. It was fun, sexy, and entertaining read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hot cowboy fantasy, July 27, 2008
This review is from: Cowboy Games (Paperback)
I, for one, loved Cowboy Games, because let's face it, who doesn't love a sexy cowboy, and Gavin Carter is one of the sexiest. He also operates Fantasy Ranch, every female's idea of a dream vacation. For seven days, the guests at Fantasy Ranch are treated like royalty by their gorgeous cowboy. Of course, there's a catch--two small rules that are not negotiable:


No sex.
No contact or attempted contact after the week is up.
Rebecca Ryder lost her husband a year ago and is still mourning his death. Their parting words on that fateful day involved a cowboy fantasy they'd enact when he came home from work that night, unfortunately, he never came home. Now Rebecca is ready to live that fantasy in the protected atmosphere of Fantasy Ranch.

One big problem: Rebecca and Gavin never considered that their fantasy might turn to reality, causing them to break every rule imposed by the ranch and by their own hearts.

Cowboy Games is a delightful tale of two lovable characters who are desperately trying to deny their attraction for each other. Wendi weaves a story full of sexual tension, heightened by the fact that the characters keep avoiding the inevitable. She takes you right to the edge of your seat then keeps you wanting more.

As a final twist, the ranch is being investigated by the authorities with the hope of getting enough dirt to close it down.

Pick up your own copy of Cowboy Games. You'll enjoy every minute of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Cowboy Lovin', February 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cowboy Games (Paperback)
OMG!!! Totally hot story, I absolutely loved this book, I read it in one day, couldn't put it down. Who doesn't love a cowboy?? You could just feel the sexual anticipation between these two, I couldn't wait for them to kiss, and what a kiss it was! I love erotic romances with great sex and great story, this had both! I wish fantasy ranches actually existed with these hot cowboys, WOW. This is a book I'd read more than once, it's a keeper for sure.
