About this ebook

Megan Harrison is the owner of Kinky Spurs. She’s mortgaged up to her eyeballs and works long days and nights, but she’s living life on her terms, not on her wealthy father’s. She’s done being in the cattle rancher’s shadow. She’s got it all figured out, except for the part that involves Nash Blackshaw. He’s a sexy as hell cowboy whose smile can easily charm her out of her tight jeans. The only problem is—their fathers were business rivals, and Megan and Nash have been taught to hate each other since birth.

Nash Blackshaw, a retired professional bull rider, has responsibilities on top of responsibilities. With his PBR career over due to back injury, and his focus narrowed on heading up the Blackshaw Cattle Company’s Guest Ranch, he shouldn’t have time to think about all the ways he wants Megan. But it’s all he thinks of around the sassy and sweet woman. She might be forbidden to him, but Nash wants to take her for a hard, kinky ride.

But small towns have a way of spreading gossip like wildfire, and not everyone is happy about their relationship. Especially when Megan drops a bombshell on Nash after one heated night between them. As much as Megan and Nash want to forget the old feud between their fathers and lose each other in explosive passion, they can’t escape reality. They are meant to be enemies, and Nash’s sizzling, dominant touch might not be enough to keep them together.

Ratings and reviews

Megan Harrison is the owner of Kinky Spurs. She’s mortgaged up to her eyeballs and works long days and nights, but she’s living life on her terms, not on her wealthy father’s. Nash Blackshaw, a retired professional bull rider, has responsibilities on top of responsibilities. With his PBR career over due to back injury, and his focus narrowed on heading up the Blackshaw Cattle Company’s Guest Ranch, he shouldn’t have time to think about all the ways he wants Megan. But it’s all he thinks of around the sassy and sweet woman. She might be forbidden to him, but Nash wants to take her for a hard, kinky ride. They have a night together following Nash’s brother’s wedding then Megan drops a bombshell on Nash . This is the third book in the series & whilst it could be read on its own I personally felt having read the earlier books added to my enjoyment. The characters are well fleshed & the pace of the story is very good & I read into the early hours to finish it. Nash is the brash, arrogant former bull rider who rushed into a burning barn to rescue the kittens he’s been raising. So he’s a big softie really. Megan has been determined to succeed on her own & has worked her butt off to make Kinky Spurs a success. The pair have been in love with each other for years but haven’t acted on it because their father were business rivals but whenever they are near each other the air sizzles & finally combusts when hey get together. I’ve loved the whole series & this is a fitting end to the series as it draws everything together. An engrossing hot read which has its tender moments, not forgetting Gus, Diva & her kittens who will melt your heart My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Stacey Kennedy saved the best for last and pulled out all the stops with Nash and Megan! I was bowled over by this book. Totally. The writing was absolutely stellar. Nash, youngest of the Blackshaw brothers has always had a thing for Megan Harrison owner of the Kinky Spurs bar. Their fathers were sworn enemies. Nash is working hard trying to help his brothers with the ranch and it's survival, staying in one place spending his early year on the rodeo circuit until an injury forced him home. Megan steers clear of Nash, there's always a push and pull there, they both are attracted to each other but neither acts on it. Until that one night. The one night that changes the course of both their lives. Megan knows she needs to tell Nash and his response just about knocked my socks off. He totally supported Megan and would do whatever she wanted and wanted to be a hands on Dad. They kept this off everyone's radar for a while knowing news travels fast in their small town and waiting for a time to tell their parents. Nash and her father have a particularly ugly relationship. Her father is a nasty bugger and the only thing that keeps the old boy in line is her mother. She starts spending more time with Nash at the ranch, meanwhile the ranch is having some problems with sabotage and of course Nash blames her Dad. Megan is afraid that Nash will get bored staying on the ranch and find a reason to leave, so she's just a tad reluctant to go all in with Nash. So many great twists and turns and hot as Hades, this book is all consuming. I loved Nash and Megan. This book could not have been better! It's an absolute must read. Deserving of more than 5 stars. I'm going to briefly whine about this being the end of this amazing series, so Stacey seriously throw us a bone and give us one more book because there are so many things I just want to know! arc from NetGalley and Publisher for an honest review.

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher** Hard-Riding Cowboy is the third book in Stacey Kennedy's Kinky Spurs series and it was a great addition to the first two books. Megan Harrison and Nash Blackshaw have known one another for years, as their families, and more specifically their fathers, have been feuding for years over various issues surrounding their two ranches. Megan is the owner of Kinky Spurs, the bar in town, and Nash finds himself back in River Rock getting the family's guest ranch off the ground after being injured on the professional bull riding tour. Nash and Megan have been attracted to one another for years, but they've never allowed anything to develop. They always treated it more like a big game. When they finally reach the point where the passion and sparks cannot be contained any longer, they give in and it is everything they had always hoped and wanted it to be. But Megan continues to wonder if Nash really wants to be with her for "her" or if he wanted to "win" to get under her father's skin? I really enjoyed the chemistry and relationship between Nash and Megan. She seemed to calm him in a way that no one else could and he seemed to make her feel safe and complete. I will say that Megan's attitude did bother me at times, but I understand her position and why she was that way. I like the closeness of the families and how Nash's brothers and their significant others were always there to help and to lend a hand when needed. A great addition to this series and I'm looking forward to what Stacey Kennedy pens for us next!
