I’ve been on a mission. I guess you can call it a book buying ban of sorts for the past three months. But that ban has officially been lifted all due to one series and my love for thriftbooks.
Thriftbooks Book Haul:
I’ve been wanting to devour Lorelei James’ Blacktop Cowboys Series and I finally have my hands on all books in this series! I cannot wait to dive into this series! Mostly, I can’t wait to marathon this series in paperback and give my eyes a break from screen time. I rely to much on my kindle and electronics for reading purposes.

Synopsis:
In the rodeo arena, all you have to worry about is surviving.
But in the arena of love, things get much more complicated.
Lainie Capshaw has been tending to injured cowboys long enough to know that a charming Western drawl combined with a fine physical form doesn’t mean you should fall for a man. As a sports therapist, she travels the rodeo circuits patching up riders—and fending off their sweet-talking, swaggering advances.
So no one is more surprised than Lainie when she finds herself interested in not one, but two different men on different circuits: Hank Lawson, a bullfighter, and Kyle Gilchrist, a bull rider trying to stage a comeback. She’s more shocked to learn Hank and Kyle are hometown buddies. But when the men offer to share her—in every way—she knows that both of them are going to try to win her, body and soul. And even as their sensual journey becomes the ride of her life, Lainie must choose which cowboy is worthy of her heart….

There is a Western theme going on here… Love it!
Oh, definitely! I love western novels!
Did you read Elsie Silver’s Gold Rush Ranch series? It’s racehorses and so fun! I also started Jay Crownover’s Getaway series which is western as well.
Elsie Silver is a new-to-me author, but after looking at this series, I have a strong suspicion that won’t last. Thanks for the Rec! I just added it to my list!
And how did I not know about Jay Crownover’s Getaway Series……?
Oh wait, I have the first book in my kindle…. but how did I not know this was a western style series? Hmmm, I think my TBR’s are about to get a bit overcrowded in the near future.
I think Getaway is older and just doesn’t get as much love. I hope you can read it soon!
I found out I added Retreat to my kindle in 2018…. Yep, It’s officially getting moved up on my reading list (LOL). Maybe after I finish Rina Kent’s books… or grow bored of my reading list… whichever comes first!
