Once she led him around by a string. Now he’s the one holding the reins.Georgia Hotchkiss swore wild horses couldn’t drag her back to Sundance, Wyoming. So it’s ironic she’s forced to take a rodeo PR job in her former hometown—right before her ten-year class reunion. The only thing worse than facing her cheating ex-husband? Showing up to the reunion without a date. Tell McKay had it so bad for … had it so bad for Georgia “Hot Lips” Hotchkiss during high school that he let her run roughshod over him. But he’s no longer that easily manipulated boy—these days he’s earned a reputation with the ladies that lives up to the McKay last name. He agrees to escort her to the reunion—with one stipulation. Georgia has to prove she’s left behind the goody-goody cheerleader of the past—by sharing his bed.
Their sexual chemistry burns so bright, they barely notice that the reunion has come and gone, and now they’re tangled up in another dreaded “R” word—relationship. But if Tell wants to get the girl this time around, he’ll have to come up with a whole new set of knots to tie up her heartstrings.

Anything in the Rough Rider series is awesome
I have read the whole series and loved every one of them. I totally recommend them all.
Although I was more upset with Dalton than with Tell in the last book, Cowboy Casanova, I still wasn’t thrilled with Tell’s actions. Honestly, because of the insecurities Tell has that come to light for the reader in this story, I’m still not sure why Tell was so hard on Ben. I’d think he’d be more understanding. But, even though I’m not forgiving Tell for his actions with Ben, he really redeems himself in this story.
Almost all the McKay men have had their insecurities, but they usually have to do with the particular woman they are trying to pretend they’re not falling in love with. Many of them feel like they are not treated fairly in their huge family, especially when some branches are more well off and closer than others. I really think Tell’s story is the first where I felt the McKay involved had insecurities his whole life. It seems Tell has never been as sure of himself as he wants others to believe. Hence, the happy-go-lucky mask he usually wears. I love that some of his cousins and brothers did, at least a bit, notice these insecurities. There is a scene with Chase and Georgia that makes that obvious…and made me love Chase all the more.
Georgia is a great character because she gives us a glimpse behind the “popular girl” everyone loves to hate. Now, of course not all of these women/girls are wonderful and misunderstood and pre-judged the way Georgia is and was. But still, I think it’s true no matter who you are that you don’t know a person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.
Georgia and Tell together are magic. They really understand each other is ways nobody else understands them. Whether it’s Tell’s insecurities or Georgia’s shyness or the way they both close themselves off to prevent being hurt. Now, I will admit that I feel Georgia is the one who lucks out in this scenario. Although it seemed so many of the people who know Tell and Georgia hinted (or outright said) she is out of his league. To me, with Tell’s pure and sweet heart, he’s the one who is in a league of his own.
Obviously, there’s something going on with Dalton. The last of this branch of the McKay family to be left single. It seems we have to wait to get his story, which I’m hoping is with the woman I have my eye on for him. But next we get to know the McKay who wasn’t a McKay until recently…Gavin. This should be interesting!

We all have that one person that we wished we would have had the chance with in high school. Well Georgia was that one for Tell. And he got a chance with her when it came time for their 10 year reunion. I thought that they were great right from the start! It was cute how he basically tried to court her while she just wanted to get to banging! There were many misunderstandings on both sides, but that is to be expected when people don’t openly communicate with each other. He had some left over resentments from high school and, although he never saw her as the shallow person most of the other people in school did, he didn’t know what kinds of things she was really dealing with then. So that carried into his idea of what she was like as an adult, which was a wrong assumption. It was interesting to hear that there was one of the famous McKay clan that couldn’t get whoever he wanted at one point. But considering he got the girl in the end, I am thinking that he didn’t do too bad. I loved the story of Tell and Georgia, they were a very dynamic couple and really a lot of fun to follow.
