Three novellas of the odd couples getting together!

Taking A Leap - After having spent a long time admiring the gorgeous Alyssa at work, Brad a geek and a nice guy sees her break up with her boyfriend and when Brad agrees to ghost write a sex scene due to a desperate client's request Alyssa teams up with him and maybe he's been given a chance.

Light My Fire - Romance novel publisher Amy agrees to cat-sit for her lesbian friend, not expecting a hot fireman like Troy to make acquaintances. Troy has no desire to settle down, he's perfectly happy with being single and having one night stands. Believing Amy is his lesbian neighbors newest girlfriend he gets closer to her than any girl before and that might just be the downfall of him being single, if only Amy wasn't a lesbian.

Second Time Around - Setting up newly divorced Maddie and near divorced Antonio seemed like a good idea by their friends but it seems they both have plenty of package to slug around. Things heat up and neither one can fight the attraction too long, not willing to give in they both battle to figure out if it's too soon and if there are such things as second chances in love.

Taking A Leap was such a funny, light romantic comedy - but with such a yummy sexy side! I loved Brad and Alyssa, such a cute might-be/might-be-not couple with serious chemistry. I loved the ending especially as they meet Alyssa's ex, loved it! ;) I liked Brad's sexy side even being a geek the guy was pretty well built and Alyssa's high maintenance appearance, but books really shouldn't be judged by the cover and there is so much more to her than a pretty face. Taking A Leap was a great start for the three novella collection!

Light My Fire was hilarious! From flamboyant gay men in gay clubs to alpha male firemen this story was funny, witty and romantic with a little bit heartbreak. Troy confusing Amy for a lesbian and beginning to develop feeling for her was fun to read and Amy was so clueless of the fact it was priceless. Many laugh out loud moments, lots of romance and anticipation! Yummy!

Second Time Around was more mature, somber novella in the collection. More sad and not quite so fun and playful. Second chances usually are about exes getting together again - but in Second Time Around two people burned by love battle wither it's safe to take that dive again.

I loved how all these stories tied together with Maria the lesbian romance novel author with computer problems, in need of a cat-sitter, throwing engagement parties. I liked the red line tying all the novellas together to get a coherent collection of romance!

Cat Johnson writes great romance! The characters are fun, sexy and believable ( which is more than crucial! )! If you haven't read Johnson's contemporary romance yet this is great place to start! I've been in love with her cowboy romance since Unridden, but I have new found love for her contemporary line!

Excerpt: Meeting at the Airport

"It takes two to tango, but three to do the two-step with these Texas cowboys…

Londoner Maryann Morrissy finds the companionship she's missing by making friends on the Internet with fellow rodeo fans in the States. Her fiancé Robert doesn't understand her new obsession. His mocking is just one more thing in a long list that convinces Maryann he's not the man for her. Perfect timing, because Maryann is flying to Texas where two rodeo cowboys are waiting to show her the ropes.

Annoyed he has to pick up his sister's British online buddy from the airport, tie-down roper Wes Griffin drags his best friend Shooter with him. Misery loves company until Wes sees Maryann get off the plane. When her sexy accent makes his heart do the two-step, Wes begins to wish he'd kept Maryann all to himself because Shooter is just as intrigued.

After the nasty end to Maryann’s engagement, she's ready to take both cowboys on, but is Wes willing to share?"

         Wes frowned at Shooter. “Hot? Her? What the hell are you talking about?”
         Then he followed his friend’s gaze and saw what Shooter had seen. Coming through the other door, also smiling in their direction was a woman about their own age and looking like nothing he’d imagined Brit Chick would look like.
         “Hello. I’m Maryann.” The lilt in her sweet voice shot straight through Wes, right down to his groin. Down below, Little Wes woke up to take notice and was apparently enjoying Maryann’s British accent from inside Wes’s jeans.
         Shooter’s face lit up with a wide, goofy grin. “Hey, Maryann. I’m Shooter. Welcome to America.”

I can't seem to keep away from Cat Johnson's cowboy novels! Why? Because they are excellent! The stories are interesting, funny, warm and the characters witty and heartwarming - and let's not forget her novels are hot as hell! I kid you not, these cowboy novels will melt much more than your heart. ;D

The plot begins with Maryann, who travels from London to Texas to see her first Rodeo, finds out her fiancée is cheating on her she wants to break all ties to him, but not through phone. Maryann soon finds she's escorted by two hunky cowboys, and few drinks later she ready to call Robert and take the two cowboys to bed. I told you it was a hot book. ;)

Maryann and Wes make a cute couple ( cute enough to make me go awwwww ), and having Shooter instigate quite few things was hilarious, especially when Wes had to come into willing Maryann's rescue. Texas Two Step is full of funny lines, witty dialogue and emotional and sexy twists - it's a perfect shorter read when you want to feel good and read some steamy romance.

You'll love this if... you love cowboys, two guys showing a girl a good time and your novels fun, feel good and smoking sexy!
