He rides hard in the rodeo. He’ll ride me much harder.When I snuck into Montana Cobalt’s house, I was looking for help learning to ride like him. What I got was his belt across my bare backside, and then with tears running down my cheeks and arousal dripping onto my thighs he taught me an even rougher, more shameful lesson.He’s agreed to train me, but not just for the rodeo. He’s going to show me … rodeo. He’s going to show me what it means to be ridden hard and put away wet, and I’ll take everything he gives me and then beg him for more.
Publisher’s Note: Hard Ride includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

I just finished this book and I’m literally racking my brain trying to find the words to describe the intense rollercoaster ride Piper Stone took me on. Two people, both trying to outrun a past that haunts them, find themselves thrown into a set of circumstances that will absolutely rattle, shake-up, and forever change their lives. There’s an instant bristle that occurs between them but as the old adage goes, there’s a fine line between love and hate. Oh, and spankings go a long way as well. The story was intense, the emotions depicted in the telling we done so well they seemingly reached out and grabbed me. The plot was seamless throughout the entire book and the chemistry was absolutely palpable. What a terrific read.
Holland feels she has a lot to prove. Montana is a successful bull rider and she needs him to teach her how to get better. Unfortunately, they are oil and water in the beginning and the conflict starts. Montana has his own problems as well. The two of them are hot together and, eventually, get their HEA. I read this through KU.
Piper has a way to weave her words into hot, delicious that will pull you into with each turn of the page. This story is full of action, drama, hurt and pain, with twist and turn, passion, love, hot steamy times.
Holland is a strong woman who need a hand to guide her, Montana is arrogant cowboy who takes it upon his self to teach her.
This HEA story will not dissapoint,

The two stars that I am giving this book is for the storyline about both Montana and Holland’s secrets from the past and the current mystery going on in Cheyenne. The rest of the book was…not my cup of tea. The behavior of both characters at the beginning of the book was too much. Out of control chick and non consensual dude. Too much!
I have read a number of this author’s books before and enjoyed them. I didn’t like either of the characters in this book. There was to much animosity between them. Too much non consensual behavior. Too much of a dive into the pool of ridiculousness.
I don’t expect to read fictional material and have every event or situation be completely realistic. BUT, to have TWO, not ONE, but TWO medical professionals compete in bulldozing when an injury could cost them their livelihood is over the top. For this man to spank this woman in an arena full of fans and reports looking on, is over the top.
Yes, I did continue to read thinking this all would mellow out and come together, or the subplot would curb some of their behavior. I didn’t like them any better by the end. For both of them to be medical professionals, neither one seemed to possess and self control. Holland was completely immature. Montana was arrogant.
There were plenty of 4 and 5 star reviews, so my suggestion would be to read this book and judge for yourself.
This book is a very well-written dark romance with well-developed strong characters that depth and evolve throughout the story. This book is fast paced, action packed and has twists/turns, danger, chemistry, intrigue, betrayal, BDSM, steam and love. This is a must story that is stand alone in the series

A riveting read! It is action-packed with danger, drama, suspense, witty banter, manipulation, steam, secrets, and erotic scenes. This is an on the edge of your seat page turner that is well-written and will keep you captivated from start to finish. The characters are strong and likeable; the chemistry between them is intense! Definitely recommended.

Do you want a female, who cusses like a New Yorker, a chip on her shoulder deeper than the Grand Canyon, and determination/stubbornness that will outlast almost anyone? The I give you Holland Kennedy (I love her name). This woman wants to play with the big boys in a rodeo, she wants to be a prize champion Bull Rider.
Montana Colbalt, is just the man to show Holland how to trust. Through her sheer stubbornness and unwillingness to trust anyone but herself, she ins up in trouble. Montana is willing to dole out her punishment and, in the process, teach true submission only comes with complete trust.
They both have a past they are unwilling to talk about, which will come up on them and will either cause destruction or bring them closer.
This HEA romance is HOT! Have a tall glass of ice water while reading this story, you will need to cool down. The punishments are harsh, but oh so hot and steamy. Piper Stone does NOT disappoint!
Wow this book is a very intense dark read with a hot alpha male that will have you feeling the sweaty emotional from these people that one is witty and a all alpha man. This was a very hot read that read in one day and will keep reading from this author.
I would probably give this book 4.5 stars in truth because although there is a lot of sexual tension (and yeah sex), it has a pretty good story line. In some reviews people have found the dubious consensual scene in chapter 2 a no go, so here you are, if possible rape or abuse are a trigger for you maybe this may not be the book for you. However if like me you can see how the scene fits then this is an action packed, sassy and hot read and although our MCs maybe difficult to take to initially, they do grow on you.
Montana is an award winning cowboy and a bossy Alpha. Holland is a feisty lady who hopes he’ll share some tips of success with her. She wants his help, he wants her – they both have secrets in the midst of their lust/hate. Can they learn to be honest and open with each other? Or will their past issues ruin any chance of a healthy relationship? If you like spanking, discipline, mystery, scorching chemistry, drama and surprises – you’ll like this one!

This rough stuff reminds me of Lori Leigh and her cowboy series. This was rough and absolutely funny and streaked with so much steam I thought my screen would melt. Then add suspense of
two different docs trying to solve mystery. Loved it.

This is an excellent story. Awesome story of old school punishment in a sexy steamy sort of way. If you like hot steamy cowboys you will love Montana.

I hate to write this, but I DNF’d this book. I couldn’t get into the characters, the story, nor the overall feeling of the book. Maybe with everything that’s happened to me personally it struck a nerve, but this book just wasn’t for me. Maybe when time begins to heal, I’ll revisit this book. There is dubious consent, a bratty (in my opinion) strong-willed woman, along with a man with a questionable past (well they both do). I think under better circumstances I would have enjoyed this book, and will definitely revisit in the future.
However, I love Piper Stone books, which is why I wanted to read this book. Piper Stone writes truly engaging stories that are enjoyed for me.
Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book, and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
PS had real stepped it up with her plots in her stories. They are more fleshed out and well-rounded. She’s still the Siren of Spank, don’t get me wrong, but she has gotten to the point where she had been able to seamlessly Incorporated the spank and the plot into a good story. This one had intrigue and mystery, suspense and steam. A nice mix of a naughty theme to add to your boring read

Montana and Holland are always at odds. She’s a spirited little girl who needs discipline and he is all in for giving it to her. Only when they start to actually talk they discover something sinister happening in their town. Can he keep her safe while she keeps pushing boundaries? Will she let their budding love help heal her wounds from the past?
Spunky and so much fun to read. Montana and Holland are made for each other.

Although I enjoyed reading this book it’s not my favorite by this author. That being said the plot is solid, the writing is great and for the most part I liked the characters. Plenty of steam to go along with the action.

Another hot and steamy story from Piper Stone. I’ve really come to enjoy her books because they are a quick read that is packed full of intense emotions. Montana and Holland are perfect for each other and they sizzle in the book.
Bullriders are tough, determined, sexy and very strong (personal knowledge). They have to be. Montana is all of those and handsome, somewhat cruel and Dominant. How could fledgling rider Holland resist? They both bring their own dark pasts with both their professional and personal lives. Hopefully, they can navigate their new discipline filled love with the danger and notoriety their baggage brings with it. A read from Piper is always worth reading.
