A Tall, Dark, Cowboy

Lacy Mason has a rule: No More Cowboys. She plans to stick to her own personal decree even though every part of her being wants to be with a man tonight if only to help her forget that her daughter is ill and in desperate need of a heart. Lacy is standing firm on this rule until she claps eyes on gorgeous cowboy, Wyatt Anderson. Wyatt is tall, and dark, and he has a package wrapped in Wranglers that any woman would love. Though Lacy does her best to disregard him, Wyatt refuses to be ignored and proceeds to set Lacy's insides on fire. Meeting Wyatt after her shift ends, Lacy experiences with him the most sensual, erotic sex she has ever known. Protecting her heart and sure that the encounter is just a one-night stand, Lacy sends the devastating cowboy on his way almost before the sheets cool. What Lacy doesn't know is that Wyatt refuses to bow out of her life without a fight. Wyatt Anderson, Vice President of Dunbar Semiconductors, and retired rodeo cowboy, can't believe his eyes or his heart. Spotting Lacy, Wyatt is instantly entranced and knows that he won't sleep tonight until he tastes the beautiful woman. His dream comes true and he and Lacy have explosive, bone-melting, satisfying sex throughout the night. The next morning, everything comes screeching to a halt when Lacy makes it clear, this was just a one night deal. He doesn't understand why Lacy is willing to just walk away. Wyatt doesn't want to let her go but; until Lacy is prepared to open up to him, he may have to do just that. There is nothing better to me than a cowboy in love with his woman and wanting to take care of her without stealing her independence. Wyatt is that type of man. I instantly fell in love with him as I began to read. The further into the book I got, the more I loved him. And he didn't disappoint me. As for Lacy, she is strong, yet vulnerable; independent, yet needing comfort. Both characters completely swept me away. As for the love scenes, they simply made me melt. A Tall Dark Cowboy is a must read. A MUST read! The more Mackenzie McKade writes the better she gets, and A Tall Dark Cowboy shows her writing talent from beginning to end. I could not put this book down until I finished. Then, I found myself going back and picking it up again, just in case I missed something. It goes without saying that I highly recommend this book. Whether you are a fan of westerns or not, A Tall Dark Cowboy will make you tingle! Natalie S.

This story was exciting, heart-warming, and very steamy! The author did a wonderful job writing so that you connect with the characters! I couldn't put it down! I recommend this book to everyone! A TRUE ROMANCE! The REAL thing!

This is definitely a hot book. Not for the timid and certainly not for the faint at heart. Expect explicitely hot sex, great characters and storyline and you won't be disappointed!! I have come to expect great things from this author and have not been let down with any of her books.

This book was hot from page one and never let up. I'm ready to find my cowboy. Ms. McKade knows how to write about a man that every woman fantasizes about and make it believable. This won't be the last book i read written by Ms. McKade, i'm a big fan now. Job well done!!!

At first glance, Lacy Mason appears to be a money hungry, cowboy hating woman. In actuality, she's struggling to get through college as well as the single mother of a very sick little girl with enormous hospital bills. Working in bar full of cowboys isn't her idea of a good time but she needs the money. Besides, she enjoys running the mechanical bull and watching as each of the cowboys gets tossed. Wyatt Anderson is a full time Vice President at a major corporation. He's also a retired cowboy who enjoys entering some events in the local rodeos on the weekends. Even though Wyatt hates greedy women, something about Lacy intrigues him. Wyatt may be a retired cowboy but he possesses the determined cowboy spirit all the time and never backs down from a challenge especially when it's the form of one little stubborn woman. Lacy's attracted to Wyatt from the moment she spots him in the bar where she works. She doesn't need any more complications in her life and definitely doesn't want to get involved with a cowboy. She's even more impressed when she fails to toss him from the mechanical bull. Lacy answers one of his taunting comments with a proposition of her own. Lacy wants just one night, to be held and cared for just for a little while. Wyatt sees Lacy sneak out of the bar and assumes she is running out on him, he has no way of knowing about her daughter's fight for her life or the struggle Lacy faces each day just to keep going and not give up. When he approaches her after her phone call, he realizes that there's something that she's very upset about, there's a hidden depth to the woman and he fully intends to discover all her secrets. Lacy's determined that she can only allow herself one night of pleasure with Wyatt. Wyatt isn't going to let her escape so easily. What will he do when he learns about Jessie's illness? How long is Wyatt going to wait before telling Lacy that he isn't a full time rodeo cowboy? A TALL DARK COWBOY is a heart wrenching story that will grab the reader's interest from the very beginning. Both characters make assumptions about each other based on outward appearances that couldn't be more wrong. I am impressed by Lacy's inner strength and determination. I could feel her worry over her daughter, Jessie's, condition, as well as her guilt for having to work when she feels like she should be with her daughter. Wyatt is everything you could hope for in a man. He's unbelievably sexy, dominant, and supportive. Mackenzie McKade has once again brought two very unforgettable characters to life through her stories. This is definitely a book well worth reading as are all Ms. McKade's books I've read so far.
