A Cowboy for Christmas Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 157 ratings

This year’s Cowboy Christmas in Las Vegas promises to be merry and bright. But the real magic is happening outside the rodeo.

Dusty Waite comes from a family of world championship bronc riders. His father and older brother have been there, done that, and their gold buckles taunt Dusty at every family gathering. Now he’s the top pick for the win. If luck and skill aren’t on his side, he’ll be a family joke—plus he’ll lose his endorser, Rawhide foods. Losing the money would hurt, but no way will he walk away from the saucy little cowgirl running things.

Avalee Byrd is the marketing mastermind behind Rawhide. The next world championship bronc rider is going to be the face pimping high-energy drinks and power bars made specifically for hardworking cowboys. Trouble is, he’s more than a little distracted—by her. And she’s having a difficult time keeping herself from landing on Planet Ripped-Abs too.

While Avalee struggles to keep from mixing business with pleasure, Dusty is one determined cowboy. He wants the win, the job and the girl. But luck may not be on his side.

*DUSTY AND AVALEE'S STORY IS SET IN THE RODEO COMMUNITY, AND YOU WILL CATCH GLIMPSES OF SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS, SUCH AS THE CALHOUN FAMILY FROM THE ROPE 'N RIDE SERIES, AS WELL AS SOME HOT SADDLEMAKERS FROM DOUBLED UP!*

    AS ALWAYS THIS IS ONE HAWT BOOK! Em Petrova knows how to write some of the hottest cowboy romance around and this one heats up from the start.
    Avalee is the owners' daughter for Rawhide foods and Dusty is a bronc rider that has to place in order to keep his sponsorship. He is one fine bronc rider both in looks and the saddle. All the buckle bunnies have a thing for him and he happens to have a thing for Avalee.
    This is the perfect short read! Hot and sexy.

    Dusty, bronc rider and Avalee, sponsor are becoming involved in this Christmas in Vegas story. Dusty wants the buckle so he can add it to the display with his father & brother's. Avalee is his sponsor trying hard not to fall for Dusty and failing. He needs to fall in the top 3 to keep RAWHIDE's sponsorship but Avalee suddenly becomes more important to him. She on the other hand is trying to keep her business & pleasure separated but Dusty is not going to give up. Wait until you read what happens. Excellent story by Em Petrova.

    A woman whose father's firm is sponsoring a rodeo cowboy heads off to Las Vegas to take the man's photo with the chewy merchandise, energy bars. Of course she thinks it would be wrong to sleep with the guy, and given it's an adult erotic romance, in short order she does.

    I didn't like the guy as he is apparently a control freak, ordering the lady around, pursuing her back to her room, bringing along items to use on her during sex - without asking and without offering to let her do any such thing to him - and threatening to tie her up if she wants to leave the sudden relationship.

    If a short novella consisting of two mature people having a fling is what you're after, it's fine. Em Petrova does specialise in such tales, and I have liked some of them a lot more, perhaps because they were longer and went into more description of other events and character arcs.

    Contains strong language and adult scenes.

    Business vs pleasure. When a hot bronc ridin cowboy represents your product you have to spend time with him, right? It doesn't have to be between the sheets but when Avalee and Dusty break the rules what will be the cost? Will it be worth it? Bring an electric fan, a hand held model just won't be enough.

    A Cowboy for Christmas by Em Petrova is a spicy Christmas gift for readers. Dusty and Avalee's story is a fast paced, quick read, perfect for those with limited time for reading. A Cowboy for Christmas has fantastic characters, drama, action, humor and HEAT. I loved the characters in this book! I enjoyed A Cowboy for Christmas and look forward to reading more from Em Petrova in the future. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
