One Night Rodeo: A Blacktop Cowboys Novel [Kindle Edition]

Lorelei James (Author)

Book Description

All it takes is one night to change a cowboy’s life…

 

Barrel racer Celia Lawson knows better than to tangle with bull rider Kyle Gilchrist. The sexy cowboy’s love ‘em and leave ‘em ways have earned him a reputation on the rodeo circuit, and he’s always seen her as his best friend’s kid sister. But after one wild, tequila-fueled night, Celia wakes up to find out she’s gotten herself hitched—to a man she never should have married!

 

When Celia insists on an annulment, Kyle has no good reason to say no—except he isn’t ready to let go of his new bride. But then Kyle inherits a sprawling Wyoming ranch, and seizes the opportunity to enlist Celia’s help. She agrees to lend a hand—with two conditions: He has to get up to speed as a rancher within six months; then they’ll get a divorce. And their marriage will be in name only.

 

Kyle gives in to Celia’s demand, yet he's ready to prove to her he has what it takes to turn their one night rodeo into a lifetime of love….

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTABULOUS! August 7, 2012

There's a thin line between love and hate......or is it lust and hate?

Even as kids Kyle and Celia seem to rub each other the wrong way, arguing and fighting has always been their MO. They live and breathe to butt heads. So imagine the shock when Celia wakes up the morning after a fun filled and very drunken night in Vegas only to realize they also rub each other in all the right ways, and that's not all, now they're......married.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas....NOT ALWAYS...

Kyle wakes up in Vegas married to his nemesis and secret crush...OH, she also just happens to be his best friends' little sister. On top of that he gets an emergency call from his momma, that requires him to head home without taking care of the quickie Vegas wedding. NOT that he wants to, Celia has a different opinion.
We first met Kyle in CORRALLED (Blacktop Cowboys #1). I was ok when things didn't work out between him and Lanie because I wanted Hank and Lanie together. I also wanted Kyle to have his own amazing HEA and Ms. James did not disappoint.

In CORRALLED I felt the loveable, fun, sexy Kyle had some growing up to do. Let me tell you, he grew up just fine, as much as I was already in love with Kyle in CORRALLED, I fell even more in love with him in ONR. He is sexy, sweet and not willing to give up on Celia or their love.

Celia is feisty, headstrong and vulnerable. The banter between Kyle and Celia is addicting, I truly did not want their book to end.

ONR is not just a book about Kyle and Celia dealing with their newfound relationship and smoking hot sex.... Kyle and Celia have to deal with the reactions of her overprotective brothers and the fact that Kyle had a sexual relationship with her sister in law, one that included a menage with her brother (strictly MFM menage, no sex between Kyle and Hank). Ms. James took a sensitive subject that had the potential to ruin Kyle and Celia's relationship and worked it out without making me think "JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!" while I was reading it

ONE NIGHT RODEO is another outstanding example of the talent of Lorelei James. Once again she has written a unique story full of family, friends, conflict, romance and steamin' hot sex. Ms. James amazes me with her ability to keep each book refreshing and different. She is one of my go to authors when I need a book I know will satisfy me from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highest recommendation! August 7, 2012

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed Lorelei James' ONE NIGHT RODEO, the latest in her BLACKTOP COWBOYS series, which chronicles the lives and loves of men and women from Muddy Gap, Wyoming, as they travel the rodeo circuit. There has been quite a buildup to this book, Celia and Kyle's story, so that means there were a lot of expectations to meet when Ms James was writing this book. I'm happy to say it does not disappoint even the least little bit.
Despite the title, there are no rodeos in this book, and except for the first chapter's story of how Celia and Kyle happened to accidentally get married, no drunken cowboys or cowgirls. This is a different book from the first three Blacktop Cowboy books.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have been waiting for this book forever! Let's just say, I was not disappointed. August 13, 2012

Kyle and Celia have had a love hate relationship going on thru the whole Blacktop Cowboys series. I loved and couldn't wait for them to realize what it was. It didn't take Celia near as long as it did Kyle, but she finally came to her senses. This book made me crack up laughing and then on the next page I was crying, then squirming in my seat. I love Cowboys and no one does them like Lorelei!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Blacktop Cowboys! August 11, 2012

By kayreader

This has to be my favorite in the Blacktop Cowboy series so far. Each book in this series has had a small build up for these two characters; Celia and Kyle have been dancing around one another basically since the age of six, but One Night Rodeo is finally the book that gets these two not only into close quarters, but into a quick marriage. After a night in Vegas where they both awoke the next morning with wedding bands upon their fingers and no recollections of how they got there, it is then a quick ride into a relationship, a new house, experiencing ranching together, things this couple had never experienced before, and had thought they never would while living on the rodeo circuit.
Inheriting a ranch and with Celia at his side, Kyle is more determined than ever to keep the stubborn woman he married in his bed. Kyle knew even if the wedding ceremony wasn't memorable, the woman herself was. He'd wanted Celia longer than he'd ever let on, but the woman was too proud to ever let their past die. Their marriage now seemed like the perfect opportunity to win her affections, and hopefully win her love before she up and left him, because she only decided to pretend their marriage was the real deal for six months if he agreed to pay for her school. What she doesn't count on is falling for the man she married, the one man who has the potential to break her heart and shatter all her dreams.
This book was funny, heart warming, a great look at marriage and how open and even at times how closed off you can be with your partner. It was open and honest and a real true look (aside perhaps from the 20 times in the sack a day, that is where the fantasy part kicks in :)) at married life.... We've all had those great highs where our spouse is the greatest, superhero, top,of the world kind of person, then the next minute you want to strangle him because they've left the toilet seat up and you've fallen in the cold bowl in the middle of the night. Lorelei is fantastic at writing great scenes where you can laugh one moment and get hot under the collar the next. I absolutely loved this book and loved finally reading Kyle's and Celia's story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adult Western Romance -- well written and fun to read August 27, 2012

By cb VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Celia and Kyle have know each other since they were children. They now are in the Rodeo circuit together since Celia is a Barrel racer and Kyle is a bull rider. Celia and Kyle fight all the time until one New Years Eve and a kiss changes everything. They declare a truce while in Vegas and wake up marriaged ... and inheritance of a ranch. This story really starts when Kyle and Celia learn to run a ranch together and find love. Lots of heat comes of the pages but it's a well written Western Romance.

If you enjoy this genre I would also suggest; Chasin' Eight (Rough Riders) , Relentless, Good Time Girl (Harlequin Blaze) and Cowboy Casanova (Rough Riders).
