Where there’s smoke…Stirling Gradsky abandoned the corporate rat race for a more laidback lifestyle. So it’s ironic she’s partnered with a hard-bodied, know-it-all scientist who treats her like a stoner instead of a stone cold business woman capable of running a large scale marijuana farm. Dr. Hot and Tattooed with the big…brain needs to stop sampling their product; he’s under the half-baked … half-baked idea that he’s the boss. Dr. Liam Argent’s doctorate isn’t in chemistry, but from the moment he meets his sexy new coworker, there’s enough heat between them to short out all the grow lights in the greenhouse. First item on his agenda? Clearing up the sassy, blunt blonde’s hazy notion that she’s in charge. Sparks fly as their attraction blazes. But can they weed out their differences without getting burned?

Book 8.5 in Blacktop Cowboy series by Lorelei James.
Stirling is sister of London who is married to Sutton.
Stirling started a cannabis dispensary with her brother and so has made a great success of it.

I absolutely love the bickering between them and especially the pranking.
This is a real different type of book compared to other Rough Riders and Blacktop cowboy book but absolutely loved it.
Can’t wait for Ross and Ike book
Stirling and Liam were completely opposite, and completely the same. Where one lacked, the other excelled, and then all the things that were similar to the other came into focus. They were funny together. They were sexy together. They were magnetic, both positive and negative, together. But mostly, Stirling and Liam got the other, and that was the magic of their story!
Loved this book. It was just so funny.
I laughed, a lot, while reading Tripped Out. I was not expecting for it to be funny, but I’m so glad it was. Liam is a perfect blend of smart and sexy, and Stirling was equal in every way. Tripped Out was a fun enemies to lovers story that I couldn’t put down!
I have to say that this is one of my favorite authors and she never seems to disappoint. Omg ! from the onset of the story she had me laughing out loud.I have to say that I laughed through the entire story and after the week I had a needed those laughs and this was the perfect story to do just that.A great quick read with a great cast of characters.
I have to say that I really loved the main characters Stirling and Liam from the onset of the story.They were both hilarious.I loved their teasing the back and forth banter their pranks that they play on one another and also the animosity that they had for one another at the beginning but not in a mean or threating way.Underneath the disguise they really liked one another and you just new it was really just a smoke screen as they were really attracted to one another.
I have to say that the plot of the story was so new and refreshing and different and I think for me it just made it a bit more fun.Two really smart and intelligent people have really serious and stressful jobs at work but , could be so laid back and carefree and quirky on their own down time.
I always pick a favorite character and mine is Stirling that girl just cracked me up every time she opened her mouth.I loved the camaraderie she had with Liam.These two really were perfect for one another as Liam tended to be a bit uptight but Stirling seemed to mellow him out.
Liam was not what I expected with all those tattoo’s and his rock hard body and stunning looks not your typical looking doctor.But, man underneath it all he was a man of surprises who liked down right dirty panty melting sex.What a refreshing character that I found to be funny and I really loved him.
What a quick and fun read and I loved it from cover to cover.A cute love story that had me grinning and smiling from the onset which I really enjoyed with a surprising and different kind of plot that I found refreshing as I have never come across reading anything like it before.
Overall the story brought enjoyment and grins and smiles and quite a few chuckles and more than a few stares from the hubby as I was laughing out loud….
5 stars for us
I have to start out by saying how much fun this book was to read, from the constant barbs to practical jokes that were played on one another. This book had me laughing from beginning to end!
Stirling and Liam were your typical geeky/nerd types when they were teenagers, they were the brains in the classrooms that stuck to the straight and narrow path, they haven’t strayed to far from that as adults but the straight and narrow road they once traveled is now curvy with a hit of some premium cannabis at the end of the day.
Even though Stirling and Liam have been pranking each other for ten months there is some definite sexual chemistry going on and you don’t need to be a scientist to see it. When they finally give into their carnal needs the pages start to smoke it so hot. This was a great addition to the Blacktop and 1001 Dark Nights series but do not feel that you have to have read the other books in either series because this can totally stand on its own.

3.5 stars– TRIPPED OUT by Lorelei James is the September 2017 novella (8.5) in the author’s Black Top Cowboy erotic, romance series, and the latest installment in the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights anthology series. This is scientist and researcher Dr. Liam Argent, and businesswoman Stirling Gradsky’s story line. TRIPPED OUT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Stirling and Liam) TRIPPED OUT follows the acrimonious relationship between researcher and scientist Dr. Liam Argent, and businesswoman Stirling Gradsky. Liam is a researcher and developer at High Society-a cannabis operation center in Denver, Colorado, owned and operated by siblings Stirling and Macon Gradsky. But from their first introduction Stirling and Liam have played a dangerous game of push and pull, practical jokes and pranks, and harsh words meant to offend and disparage. The palpable sexual tension does not go unnoticed until Macon Gradsky forces the bickering co-workers to work together toward a common goal. What ensues is the building sexual relationship between our leading couple.
TRIPPED OUT is a story that focuses on the legal marijuana industry in Denver Colorado. The author has done her homework as it pertains to the ins and outs of operating a weed growing and distribution center, as well as the inclusion of some scientific facts and figures. Liam and Stirling not only work at High Society but they are regular users of the recreational drug including the food products infused with the marijuana oil. With the addition of highly caffeinated drinks such as Red Bull, Mountain Dew, and weed infused Cola drinks, our leading couple spend most of their time docile, high or fighting over snacks and food.
TRIPPED OUT detours from the author’s usual Black Top Cowboy story lines in that the premise does not focus on the farms, the rodeo or the ranch hands but on the controversial industry of legalized marijuana . The premise is entertaining and interesting; the characters are cute; the romance is seductive and passionate but got lost in the vast amount of detail concerning the growing of recreational and medicinal marijuana.
Lorelei James has a done it again. Another awesome book. I actually learned things from this book that l never knew about. This book was full of laughter and pranking and most importantly love.
Stirling is a coowner of High Society. Liam is a Dr. In staff. These two have been pranking each other for 10 months until things come to a halt. Will these two continue pranking each other or start to have feelings for each other? Check out this wonderful book.
A pheromone level this high should be illegal. Tripped Out is borderline neurotic, holy smokes chaotic, with temperature that tip the scales at exotic. Lorelei James knows how to make things happen. With a name like Stirling for her heroine, she turns geeky stereotypes on their ear and sets readers hearts racing when a bad boy scientist hits the pages. Together Liam and Stirling set tongues wagging and sparks flying with the electricity they make. Tripped Out is a smart look at the science of sexual attraction and the utter chaos of falling in love.
