A filmmaker on the hunt for her aunt’s killer turns her camera lens on the rodeo, only to find herself tied up by a ruthless cowboy who knows how to take the reins.
Dead men can't talk, thank god. But dead women? They cry out for justice long after they're gone.
Hollywood darling Sara Feldman has an ulterior motive for her next documentary: she’ll prove her aunt was murdered by the Brose family—a wealthy, powerful ranching dynasty. But some things rarely go to plan…
Keep your friends close and your enemies chained to your bed.
Bronc riding champ and legendary playboy Carter Brose doesn’t trust outsiders—especially the stunningly curvy camera girl with the big eyes. Carter has secrets that Sara will do anything to expose, and Carter will do anything to keep buried.
When he discovers her true agenda, he sees an opportunity to keep her under his thumb: He’ll agree to be her main interview subject for a price—she’ll be his in every way until the end of rodeo season.
Their dark chemistry turns dangerously explosive, spiraling down a path of depravity and desire neither could have imagined. Despite themselves, they begin falling for each other, even though the truth will tear them and the rodeo apart…

Rough Ride is a dark, intense, suspenseful cowboy romance packed with secrets, murder, dangerous chemistry, and two people who absolutely should not trust each other but cannot seem to stay away from one another.
Sara Feldman arrives in the rodeo world supposedly to film her next documentary, but she has a much more personal reason for being there. She is determined to uncover the truth about her aunt’s death and believes the powerful Brose family knows far more than they have ever admitted.
Carter Brose immediately knows there is something about Sara that does not add up. He is a champion bronc rider, notorious playboy, and fiercely protective of his family, so when he discovers what Sara is really investigating, things quickly become complicated. Instead of sending her packing, Carter makes her an offer that keeps her close and gives him the opportunity to control exactly how much she learns.
The chemistry between Carter and Sara is explosive from the beginning. Their relationship is messy, intense, incredibly physical, and definitely pushes into darker territory. Carter is dominant, possessive, and morally questionable at times, while Sara refuses to simply back down and give him everything he wants.
What I really enjoyed was that there was more happening than just the romance. Sara’s investigation, the Brose family secrets, and the questions surrounding her aunt’s death kept me guessing and gave the story a strong romantic suspense element.
The deeper Sara digs, the harder it becomes to separate the man she is falling for from the family she suspects destroyed hers. Carter is also forced to decide how far he is willing to go to protect his family when protecting them could cost him Sara.
Rough Ride is spicy, dark, dramatic and completely addictive, with a possessive cowboy, a determined heroine, plenty of secrets and a mystery running underneath all that scorching chemistry.

Review of advance copy received from Author
The cowboy trope isn't usually one of my absolute favorites, but I do enjoy picking one up from time to time. Since this one was written by Jo, I just had to see what it was all about—and I don't regret my choice for a second! The author came through with the perfect recipe for a great story: a solid plot, layers of secrets, an intriguing murder mystery, a strong-willed heroine, and a possessive hero, all mixed with just the right amount of spice.
We follow Sara, who is convinced that her aunt's death was far from the accident it was ruled to be. She arrives determined to investigate, and as classic small-town stories go, she crosses paths with our hero. From there to a great HEA is just a step, well, a pretty massive step, actually, because there is so much drama unfolding along the way!
I absolutely loved watching their journey unfold and seeing the trust build between them. Another standout detail for me was the inclusion of Sylvia's journal entries, which added such a great layer to the story.
If you're looking for a dark, romantic suspense packed with tension, mystery, and chemistry, definitely give this one a read!
A massive thank you to the author for granting me the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book! It was an absolute honor!
