Fans of Roni Adams are definitely in for a treat in the first book of this series. We are introduced to the Double B Ranch with two set of siblings who have grown up together and if not the best of friends, have always gotten along together. This first book centers around Buck and Sara, life long friends and working partners on the Double B. Buck’s Weston is one of four boys on the Double B Ranch. He works the ranch that has always been in the family, but doesn’t love the land like his father or older brother Cord does. Buck has a deep yearning for Sara, but doesn’t know how or when to tell her. After a midnight dare of a kiss, emotions spills over and things are never the same again between the two friends. Sara Sampson has a deep love for the land and lives for the ranch. Her lifelong dream is ownership of the other half of the Double B Ranch. She cherishes her friendship with Buck and never feels out place just being one of the guys. All her “firsts” had been with Buck. Her idea of a great night is going to the LoneStar Bar and Grill for a night out with her pal Buck. When Sara father dies, and leave a codicil in his will regarding the ownership of the Double B ranch, all hell literally break loose. On a weekend of business, a near death experience opens up Sara to take a friends advice to reach out and grabs the “Buck by the horn” (so to speak). But can one weekend resolve all the issues between these two, or will it only wider the rift that seems to be developing between them. If you have never read Roni Adams, be prepared to be knee deep in steam. Buck and Sara are dynamite together. The second son of the family, Buck is an extremely strong personality in this book. He goes about things with an easy confidence and albeit the fact that he quakes in his boots when it comes to his feelings for Sara, he is absolutely the kind of guy any woman would want to roll over and meet in the morning. Sara suddenly finds herself in a situation that she has to make the best of. She has just had her dreams and her hope ripped out from under her by the reading of her father’s will. She doesn’t know how to give up, as the knowledge that she would one day by part owner of the ranch was always a given. When she decides to have to have a weekend just for her, it’s crazy and absolutely funny how inventive a woman on a mission can be. Love scenes between Buck and Sara are in your face and dizzyingly hot. Sara is confident in her sexuality and there were some truly funny moments when I thought Buck would definitely meet is maker if satisfaction was not swift in coming. The story line is great and Ms. Adams has given us just the right amount of mystery and suspense to ensure we are salivating for more in To Tame a Cowgirl. At times there seems to be too many characters to keep track of, but Ms Adams pulls this off beautifully. Of course this only enhances the anticipation of what will eventually happen with each person in future books. I am so very much looking forward to the next installment in The Double B series. Well done to Roni Adams. Reviewed by Sandra |
