Dangerous Ride

by Vonna Harper

Control. The word means everything to Maita who trains horses and rides rodeo stock. A woman living in a man's world, unafraid, taking them on at their own game. But hard childhood lessons taught her that self-determination is the key to survival. Then she meets Kade, a rodeo livestock contractor with lessons of his own. In his locked room designed for submission and dominance, her world changes.

About the author

Under her "real" name, Vonna Harper has published more fiction than she can keep track of . These include category romances for the major players as well as the 'juicy' stuff. She also penned a series of well-received Native American historicals. One earned her finalist status in both the Women Writing the West Willa award and Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association. Before discovering romances, both erotic and otherwise, Vonna 'confessed' all kinds of nonsense for the confession magazines.

When asked about erotica research, she insists, "Of course I've time-traveled to the ancient Everglades, infiltrated bondage strongholds, done wilderness search and rescue, and spent a night trapped in a workout gym with Mr. Universe. How can I possibly write about something I haven't experienced?"

As for day jobs, "I've been a commercial pilot, brain surgeon, worked as a white-water river guide, bee keeper, snake charmer, and garbage collector."

Reviews

[Djg · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm a little conflicted about this story. After reading the first third I was thinking it would be a wallbanger. The characters felt cardboard and I wasn't sure I'd want to finish.
The last half was much better and I was able to connect with the main two characters, and came to care about them. I think it would have benefited by maintaining the focus on the their individual pasts and developing their relationship a bit more.

Harper writes to titillate, little character growth, poor excuse for a plot.
