I almost didn't read this book because I thought the fantasy ranch theme was so corny. But it wasn't.....it seemed so real and believable. I also thought what kind of woman needs to go to one of these places. How can I like the main character Rebecca? But I soon saw
this place was perfect for her. Her husband had died 1 year before and this was
her way if trying to get back in the dating scene. She wanted to have a sort of
test run first, and a cowboy as well!
Gavin and his brother own and run the fantasy ranch. Women pay to stay at this
ranch for a week and they get their own personal cowboy to spoil them. The
cowboys tell the women exactly what they want to hear, they boost up their
confidence, they are even a shoulder to cry on. Their are only 2 rules they
abide by:
No sex, and no contact after the week is up.
Usually the no sex part is easy for Gavin, after all, most of the women that
come through are older, or desperate, or have some kind of emotional problem. He
isn't even looking for a relationship, he still has a hard time trusting after
his divorce. He knows the business must come first if the ranch is to survive
and get back on its feet. And with the authorities investigating the ranch and
wanting to shut it down, the no sex rule is something he cannot break with
Rebecca.
But those 2 rules are more than Gavin can take because the first minute he lays
eyes on Rebecca he is smitten. They have an instant attraction the moment they
meet. And Gavin realizes this week is going to be the hardest week of his life.
He soon realizes that he can't pretend with Rebecca. Everything he says to her
is real, and everything he does with her at the ranch is different than he
normally does with the women.
I loved watching the sexual tension and struggle. Gavin had a lot on the line to
risk if he broke his rules. He didn't want to lose the ranch or let his brother
down. But he also knew she was only staying a week and did not want to lose his
chance with her. Gavin seemed so genuine and down to earth, I loved the way he
treated her. And I loved watching Rebecca try to open her heart and love again.
This book is a must read and is now one of my favorites!

A great story about a divorced cowboy and a young widow. The hero and his brother run a fantasy ranch in Wyoming. There's no sex allowed between the cowboys and the guests at the ranch. The ranch is not an escort service. The women who come to the ranch get their own personal cowboy to spoil them for a week, but the relationships are strictly platonic.
Cowboy Games is well-written. It's fast paced with a heroine who is smart, funny and unafraid to express how she really feels. The hero is not only Ivy-League educated, but he's good looking and sexy. The two have incredible chemistry although given their respective pasts they're very hesitant to do anything with each other. They're both quite emotionally damaged even if it's not obvious from outward appearances. The villains seem a little over the top. That part could have been left out without hurting the main story. In fact, I started skipping some of the sections with the villains simply because I found them to be a little cartoonish.
