Review: Rough, Raw and Ready by Lorelei James

This is the 5th book in the Rough Riders Series and it’s Chassie, Trevor & Edgard’s story.
We first meet Trevor & Edgard, who were roping partners and secret lovers  in the 1st book  Long Hard Ride but were driven apart when Edgard returned to Brazil because Trevor was not prepared to make a commitment. I wondered what happened to them and if they would have their own story.

Rough, Raw and Ready is my favourite book so far in the series. It’s a wild, emotional and erotic read filled with lots of hot, hot, hot and steamy sex between the three.

Chassie West Glanzer has been married to sexy cowboy, Trevor Glanzer, who has given up his rodeo life to run the farm that was left to her after her father and brother’s death with her.
They have a good relationship but when Trevor’s old roping partner and past secret lover, her world is turned upside down. She senses that there is something more than friendship between them and when she catches them kissing she realizes the truth, that they were once lovers.  
Trevor is in love with his wife and though he has buried the feelings he had for Edgard years ago, he has always felt that something was missing in his life. Edgard has returned from Brazil hoping to sort out their tangled past.
After some soul searching, Chassie realizes it would not be fair for her to deny something that Trevor needs but at the same time she does not want to lose him.
So they decide on a ménage relationship and as they spend time together, in and out of bed, discover that they can be happy with each other.
I am not really turned on by m/m sex but after a while it became more than just sex between two men and a woman….it’s about taking risks and finding you can love more than just one person….THIS IS A GREAT LOVE STORY. And it’s one of the HOTTEST book I have (I have read it twice so far!!!!!)
I hope I get to meet the three again in the series.

Book Blurb:  
Torn between the love he has-and the love he's always wanted. A Rough Riders book. Chassie West Glanzer hasn't been a stranger to drama and tragedy. A year of wedded bliss to sexy-as-sin cowboy Trevor Glanzer has brought her the happiness and contentment she never thought she'd find, and mellowed Trevor's rodeo wanderlust. Then Trevors old roping partner ambles up the driveway and Chassie's life changes drastically. Trevor never expected to see Edgard Mancuso again, after it became clear he couldn't be the man Edgard needed. Now Edgard is back from Brazil to sort out their tangled past, and Trevor is plagued with feelings he thought he'd buried over three years ago. Although Trevor is hat-over-bootheels in love with his sweet, feisty wife, the sense his life is missing a piece has always gnawed at him. Chassie's shock that Edgard and Trevor were once lovers turns to fear of losing her husband. Or worse, fear that Trevor will stay with her only out of a sense of duty. Yet as the three of them spend time together, the sins of the past blur and fade, leaving raw emotion and unbridled passion. Passion that could heal-or cause irreparable damage to their future. Warning: this book contains unbelievably explicit sex, including multiple cowboy/cowgirl/cowboy menage scenes, juicy, hot, male on male action, a bucketful of politically incorrect situations and true Western ideology

I am quite new to the erotica/ménage romance genre and ordered the first 5 books of Rough Riders by Lorelei James as Amazon recommended the series.
I started reading Long Hard Ride and somehow couldn’t get into it. After a few months I tried again….wow was I hooked after turning the last page….I couldn’t wait to read the next book…and the next…in fact I read all 5 books in 4 days. .couldn’t put them down…..I fell in love with cowboys!!!

The series follows the McKay/West families and each book can be read as stand-alones but to get to know the family history I recommend that they be read in order.

Reading Order:
1. Long Hard Ride – Colby and Channing
2. Rode Hard, Put Up Wet – Gemma and Cash, Carter and Macie
3. Cowgirl Up and Ride – Cord and AJ – This is my favorite thus far!
4. Tied Up, Tied Down – Kade and Skylar
5. Rough, Raw, and Ready – Chassie, Trevor, and Edgard
6. Branded as Trouble – Colt and India
7. Shoulda Been a Cowboy – Cam and Domini
8. All Jacked Up – Keely and Jack
9. Raising Kane – Kane and Ginger
10. Cowgirls Don’t Cry – Brandt and Jessie
