About this ebook

When a rough-edged bad boy takes on a straight-laced college professor, can they both win the fight of their life?

Reed Johnson grew up on the streets rough and ready with his fists to survive. These days, all his fighting now is done in the ring. With The Outlaw as his coach, he's way more than a cowboy. That was enough for him, until he meets his new neighbor.

Harper Lane's running from a dangerous past, but no matter how hard she tries, it follows. This time, she's not alone. She runs right into the arms of Reed. She's his now. His to protect. His to save. To do so, he'll have to return to the life he's left behind. But the brainy PhD is worth the fight and with her, he'll be ready for anything. Even something he never thought he deserved. Love.

I enjoyed Reed and Harper’s story of how two people from extremely different economic backgrounds shared a common factor in that neither of them had been valued by their family. Harper is in danger and Reed is determined to protect her at all costs, especially after hearing how she has suffered by her brother’s actions. There is danger and some unexpected assistance. Finally, a HEA but a lot happens first. It is a good story with strong characters who also have a vulnerable side which adds to the story. It is a story worth reading.

Rough and Ready by Vanessa Vale was a well written book with some very intriguing characters . This story touched my heart and I truly loved Reed and Harper. This was a story with danger, friendships, action and most definitely love. Reed Johnson is a rough and tough bad boy who survived the streets but now he is fighting only in the ring. Harper Lane is his new neighbor who is running from a dangerous past. When they meet you can feel the chemistry. In my personal opinion the story flowed well and kept me hooked till the very end. I absolutely loved this story and I highly recommend this. book.

I’m hoping that there are more books in this series because I’ve truly enjoyed reading both books in the “More Than A Cowboy” series to date. I loved the passion between the main characters. The story line was very engaging; I had a real problem with putting it down until I was finished! I’m not one to summarize the story, it’s not what I personally want to find in a review, I want to know if previous readers felt it was worth the read… and this one was worth it! Well done! P. S. This cover model is so Yummy! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
