Francisco, California ~ Present Day
Dr.
Helen Kinsale treated rodeo cowboy Jay Turner six months ago when he
had his career ending injury. Meeting her in her office again one
day, Jay is intrigued by the cool lady doctor who he suspects has
some fire underneath. Jay intends to challenge her with an intimate
proposal that will have them very up close and personal. She
accepts, and their no-holds barred affair soon turns into something
neither expects.
Helen
has worked her way up the ladder to the point she’s now being
considered for a top position at the hospital she works for.
However, deep in her past lies some secrets which might prove
explosive. Add in a cruel ex-husband who’ll do anything to get the
position Helen is after, well, a dalliance with Jay just might be
the distraction a doctor would order. After all, it’s just sex,
right? No commitment, no future…
Helen
and Jay are connected by the rodeo, but their lives are otherwise
disparate. Jay is trying to struggle with a life after the rodeo,
while Helen is coping with the competitiveness of her colleagues as
they all vie for a position. As ROPING THE WIND opens, we don’t know
Helen and Jay, but by the end, we will care for them and their
future. We get a glimpse of life in San Francisco blended with the
life of a rodeo cowboy and the inner workings of hospital politics.
Even as readers wonder how Helen and Jay will come together (and I
don’t just mean sex), a sensual and beautiful story is told by
author Kate Pearce and will keep you turning the pages.
ROPING
THE WIND is connected to WHERE HAVE ALL THE COWBOYS GONE? but can be
read as a standalone. Will there be more Turner brothers to capture
our heart? Readers like me certainly hope so.
The
action is fast paced as Jay and Helen begin to grow from independent
people we first meet to a couple who discover they can’t live
without the other. Be prepared to keep plenty of ice around as there
are abundant scorching love scenes. Fall in love with this
emotionally satisfying tale of love finding a way to beat the odds
despite the roadblocks. I highly recommend you run to your nearest
bookstore and pick up a copy of ROPING THE WIND.
