In the new Blacktop Cowboys® Novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Hillbilly Rockstar strange bedfellows find common ground after the lights go down…Flower child, vegetarian and humanitarian Harlow Pratt and gruff and strapping cattle ranch foreman Hugh Pritchett have been taunting each other for years. Hugh thinks she’s nothing but a spoiled rich girl, and he’s had enough of that life with his ex-wife. Harlow thinks Hugh is an ill-mannered trouble-maker who wouldn't know fun if it bit him on his tight denim-clad butt.When they’re forced together at the Split Rock Ranch and Resort, everything changes. They might be polar opposites, but working out their differences skin to skin, in the dark, seems to help their incompatibility a lot. But when trouble from both their pasts comes calling, Harlow and Hugh have no one else to lean on. Can they trust one another enough to make it through the hard times together… or will their tentative truce fall apart?

It is no secret that Lorelei James is my favorite author of all time.  I fell in love with her writing in the Rough Riders series, and the Blacktop Cowboys series just confirmed that she will always be number one to me!!!  I absolutely loved Harlow and Hugh’s story in Wrapped and Strapped.  Harlow’s character was very deep and easy to relate to.  Hugh was that sexy cowboy we all love to love.  I connected with them both, and the story line kept me up all night, because I just couldn’t put this book down!!!
