Thinking of Montana brings to mind rough rugged cowboys, vast open spaces, hot summers, and long cold winters - the perfect setup for romance. Add a coffee house called Lemon Espresso, three intelligent women from the city and three very determined cowboys and you have the makings for a rockin' good time and a book you won't be able to resist.

A MAN’S WORD IS HIS BONDAGE

Gabe could have lived without being dragged into the Lemon Espresso for a poetry reading but that’s exactly where he finds himself thanks to his friends Chet and Reuben. He just knows he’s never going to live it down if somebody they know actually saw them come into this place. The experience couldn’t be worse - until Willow Daniels takes the stage and he just knows that she’s the one for him.

Willow’s poem speaks volumes to Gabe but leaves him wondering if her seductive poem means that she wants a man who can fulfil her erotic invitation with words - or a man who can back them up. He aims to find out. Willow has no doubt that Gabe is exactly what she wants in a man but she’s due to leave in two weeks to return to her responsible, safe job . . . maybe it’s time to take some risks and experience the thrill of loving a cowboy?

Oh my! This story had my whole body tingling by the time I’d read half way through it. There’s something undeniably hot about Gabe’s sexual technique - the combination of words and deed is exciting to say the very least and leaves readers more than satisfied.

READY TO PLAY

Jolie McIntyre spent years working her way through college and then law school and in all that time she had virtually no social life. She’s got some time off before she’s due to take the bar exam and enjoys her job at the Lemon Espresso. Besides, now she has time to play and she fully intends to make up for lost time - even has a cowboy picked out to satisfy her pent up desires.

Chet Andrews doesn’t even try to hide his attraction to Jolie. He delights in sparing with her over her ‘reckless driving’ and whatever else he can think of to get her dander up. She presents a challenge to him - one he doesn’t intend to resist. Verbal sparring and a series of bets and challenges start off their relationship on an interesting foot with some toe curling outcomes.

Chet’s protective personality is enough to make a girl’s heart melt in this story. I loved the raw emotions between Chet and Jolie and the vulnerable scenes endeared both characters to me. Of course the sex between them is undeniably hot and well worth rereading many times over.

REUBEN’S RULES

Former Army Ranger turned sheep rancher Reuben Black approaches everything in life with military precision. He’s been entranced with Laura Jamieson, the coffee shop owner, since the day he first saw her and has made it his personal mission to capture her heart. He begins the siege in earnest with the words "I can give you what you need."

Owning and operating the Lemon Espresso has been a dream come true for Laura. She experienced the more violent side of humanity while working at her last job and she doesn’t trust easily. She’s been fantasizing about Reuben ever since he first started coming into her coffee shop but she never imagined he’d have the same sexual appetite as she does.

Just when I thought this book couldn’t get any hotter - it does! Reuben is easy to love. He’s powerful and dominating while at the same time gentle and sensitive, you’ve got to love that in a man. Laura is one very lucky woman and I almost envy her.

Charlene Teglia’s WILD WILD WEST is one scorchingly hot book that is sure to leave readers panting for more. With lovable characters, emotional situations, unforgettable sex scenes, and dialogue that is sure to curl your toes you definitely need to pick up a copy of this book. Charlene Teglia is a talented author who has several e-books released through various publishers but this is her first straight to print book and I have to say, if I wasn’t a fan before I most emphatically am now.

By the way, there’s a sneak peek at Ms. Teglia’s February 2008 release, SATISFACTION GUARANTEED, at the end of this book that looks just as delectable as WILD WILD WEST. I can hardly wait!
