Another amazing addition to this series. It was great and sweet seeing Kendra finally being in front of the stage. It was touching and tugged at my heart. Each book in this series can actually be read as a standalone but it’s nice knowing some of the background. Even though the author touches on happenings, so the reader knows, you get more reading the other books. Any one is worth reading and this one is up there. Heartwarming. Book gifted to me.

Killer Cowboy Charm
Once again my favorite author wrote a terrific, sexy, and romantic cowboy story. Hopefully, this could be the start of a new series!

I own a lot of books. I forgot I had read this until I was on the second page. It's funny and sexy. Glad I kept it to re-read all these years later.

Ugh. That about sums it up. I have read several of Vicki Lewis Thompson's book prior to picking this one up and enjoyed them quite a bit. I thought that this one would be good too. After all, I like what I have read by her. I love a cowboy story. What could go wrong? Let me tell you....
So Meg is a co-host of a morning talk show reminiscent of Regis and Kelly (Kelly by the way is VLT's inspiration for Meg per her intro for the book) and while engaging in the usual banter with Mel while on air mentioned that she needed to find herself a hot cowboy. Her producer thought that was a fab idea and so off Meg goes on a 2 week tour of 7 states holding tryouts for the hottest cowboy.
Her first stop is Arizona where Clint Walker is a foreman. Clint just wants to run the ranch. He has no interest in TV what-so-ever. He does find himself interested in a tempting TV personality though. Which works out fine because Meg thinks Clint is the hottest cowboy ever.
My thoughts......
Meg is an aggressive woman who knows what she wants and plans to get it. She wants Clint. Clint is all too happy to accommodate. I have no problem with assertive women but to me she was beyond that and it made her look a little ugly.
The bulk of the book (if you can call a book with just a little over 200 pages bulk) takes place in the 2 days Meg is on the Ranch with Clint. During which time they engage in hot monkey sex repeatedly but little else. There was no romance and very little talking. When Meg tries to convince Clint to try out for the hottest cowboy contest even though he has told her he wasn't interested his feelings get hurt because he doesn't think she knows him at all. Really? You think?
Ugh...I have spent more time with my dentist over the years then this couple had together and yet....they are in love. Meg's departure from the ranch made both of them sad pandas and after a 2 week separation they reunite and as the violins sang they declared their love for one another. Ok...just kidding about the violins but still...you get the idea.
I can't recommend this book to anyone even one who likes short romances because although this is short there was little to no romance in the book. A lot of sex but very little romance.
My rating...1 star.

Short, quick, quite steamy. I enjoyed this for what it was - a short romance with heat; as such, the resolution was pretty convenient and everything was a bit sped up, but if you're a fan of Temptation, you could do worse than this one.
The main characters were very enjoyable. The hero was finally a cowboy I could actually appreciate, and the heroine was very nice. I wasn't thrilled by reading a story about a talk show host, but she wasn't really as annoying as that job might signify, and I found the effort she put into her job made me a bit more sympathetic to her. If she'd talked about dieting once more, though, I might have started to dislike her, but I guess that's the nature of her reality, sadly.
I really could have done without knowing this book was inspired by Regis and Kelly, as that soured me a bit, but if you can get past that, you might like this one.
