Genre: Cowboy Romance

The bell dinged, warning them.

He pulled back, both panting, chests heaving and he stepped across the small space of the cubicle. The doors opened and a couple stepped in, the woman offered a smile to Jobe. He dipped his hat in greeting.

Across the space, Ruby met his gaze. Her cheeks were perfectly pink and her lips were swollen. He brought his hand to his nose and inhaled her musky scent, smiling. Pure heaven. He couldn’t wait to dip his tongue into the treasure.

Seconds seemed to turn into hours as the elevator lifted them higher. Ruby’s eyes were glossy and her bottom lip quivered, he knew she couldn’t wait either.

The elevator stopped and the doors slid open. He took her hand and they hurried down the hall toward room 721. Outside his door, he could barely think as he grabbed the keycard from his pocket and pushed it into the slot that suddenly seemed too small. The door clicked and he pushed it open, letting her pass. The door closed, he locked it and pushed her against the solid wood.

In record time he found the zipper at the back of her dress and had it undone, sliding it down her shoulders until it landed into a pile of puff at her feet. He stepped back a mere inch so he could look at her sweet body—as beautiful as ever. Her breasts were larger and her hips were wider, more curves to explore. She was the same Ruby as before, though. Her breasts pressed the lavender lace, her nipples hard against the material. But what got him, straight into the center of his gut, was her chocolate brown eyes that were now close to black. They could make his pulse flounce and his brain to shut down. Her body still made him crazy.

Her lips thinned ever so slightly in impatience. Yeah, he knew exactly what she was feeling because he felt it too. He reached around, unsnapped her bra, and the delicate material slipped down her body and joined the dress. Holy mother of…

“My God, you’re beautiful.” His words hurt as they escaped his raw throat. Her breasts were full, her nipples were a creamy pink, thick and hard. He could no longer wait to sample them. He lowered to one breast, licking the hard nub and she arched her back. Her fingers strolled up his shoulders, into his hair, knocking his hat to the floor. He continued to suckle and gently nibble the silken skin, then gave the other breast the same attention.

“Jobe?” Her needful voice drew him from his enjoyment. He looked at her, her eyes were sparkling and craving filled her expression. “I want you!”

Let me start off by saying that I did not read the previous books in the series, so this was my first rodeo with these gals.  Now that the legalities are out of the way, let’s get to the review…. Ruby and Jobe should have known that you simply cannot enter in to a sexual relationship without something happening along the way. I’ll give them one thing though, they tried. Oh did they try. And they both failed miserably. If only they would have talked, but miscommunication and pride got in the way.

I loved these two characters. Ruby is someone you could see yourself going to the bar and checking out guys with. She’s fun, sassy, speaks her mind, but like all of us girls, sometimes she lets girl logic take hold and then everything goes downhill.

Jobe is one hot smokin’ cowboy! He’s a man that knows what he wants. He’s strong willed, determined, and he can’t get Ruby off his mind. There was a minute there that I wanted to slap him, you’ll know it when you get to it, but he redeemed himself. He just proves my point that men sometimes DO act on emotion -I’ve been telling my husband this for years, he’s in denial.

There was enough of a backstory to make this story really stand by itself. The characters we well developed for such a short read and you can quickly connect to them.  I wish the ending had a bit more, but overall the book was really good.

If you are looking for a fun, sexy little read with a good storyline, this is your book. I give Secret Pressure 4 kisses
