4.22 AVERAGE


Sam and Tucker have come to steal your hearts! Take one bronc riding cowboy and force him back to the ranch where the love of his life has never gotten over him, and you’re sure to create a fire... Tucker just might not be ready for Sam’s return though. Neither of these men has ever moved on. Both are stuck firmly in the past, and through the flashback scenes, it’s easy to see why. If they’re going to be able to embrace a second chance, they’re going to have to overcome several obstacles. There’s a reality show and its contestants that are always underfoot to contend with. Then there’s the fact that they both have a habit of getting in there on way. Thank God the Ryker’s, especially Mama, have a habit of being in each other’s business. It seems like it’s going to come in handy this time...

I was so excited for another Ryker family book, and Sam didn’t let me down!
Big feels, hot sex, and of course, Mama!
I really enjoyed this book, and seeing as how I don’t typically go for cowboys, that speaks volumes!
This is an interconnected story, so read back, but it isn’t required to enjoy the ride (see what I did there)

3.5

3 stars for the story & 5 stars for this wonderful audio so overall 4 stars!

This was a good book. I really liked both the friends to lovers/second chance trope. I also really liked both Tucker & Sam they made for really great MC's. I think perhaps it was just too surface for me. I wanted to feel more and really get into the nitty gritty a bit, and we just did not get that. Yes, we saw the heartbreak for a beat and then we saw them come back together after 10 years apart, but I didn't really have any time to feel any of it. It was still good though, and I would recommend for anyone looking for a light read with characters you will really adore and side characters galore that you will also adore.

Roped Tight is the fourth installment in Kim Loraine’s Ryker Ranch Series; and this book follows Sam, the bull-riding Ryker and Tucker, one of the ranch’s most loyal employees. A family emergency forces these two young cowboys to work closely together for two weeks and in such closed quarters, they fall in love. Circumstances force them to be apart for years, but now that Sam is back at the ranch, can they find their way back to each other?

I have followed this series closely and Sam was such an enigma in past Ryker books. He is very reserved but just like any Ryker brother, he loves his family and he loves hard. It was great to learn more about Sam and Tucker, their stories and regrets in this book.

Aaron Shedlock and Teddy Hamilton narrate the audio version. I have always enjoyed their work, but add in their accents for this book and this southern girl is swooning! Stella Hunter narrates the girl voices in this duet. Love her as Mama Ryker.

I have all the feels as this appears to be the closing book of Ryker Ranch though it does setup for Sera’s story in the end. I look forward to read all about her and her sass.

A MM 2nd Chance Cowboy Romance Which packed the Punch with Feels, Steam, Romance & Fun Family!
Sam & Tucker are awesome! Opposites attract❤. DEVOURED yet Savored this within 5hrs.
#My 1st by Kim, Loved Sam's Family, Will surely check out the other books in the Ryker Ranch!

Sam Ryker is a Pro Bull Rider & a Closeted Gay WHILE Tucker is The Ryker's Ranch Hand, an Awesome Roper & Have been out Since Teenage. Their Sparks are combustible But They've history... We see a little of their NOW, How Sam's career is over & he's home to stay. How Tucker has become a part of the Ryker family. The Animosity b/w Sam (Mostly by him) & Tucker. Then we get their Whole history in one go, Around 35% of the full book.

10yrs ago, Young Gentle, Kind & Hardworking Sam kissed the Mysterious, Intense & Lovable Tucker. Awkward days, Talks, Sexy days in Cabin. Tucker was Sam's 1st Time with The Same sex. Sam fell in love...But Tucker hadn't wanted to stop Sam from following his dreams so he let him go.

Now, 10yrs later, they've met again, Hardened by time. I can see something happened b/w The Two in the previous books, that Tucker was hurt & Sam helped him... Both had tried to move on from eachother, neither could.
But Sam hates Tucker (of course

It's a comfy read being back on the Ryker ranch again, especially reading about these 2 men finding each other again after 10 years, being open and honest with themselves and the supportive Ryker family. So happy for Tucker and Sam to have each other.

Rating 3.5

Sammy and Tucker have been given a second chance to have their happily ever after.
Ten years ago, Sam was left with a broken heart and Tucker was the reason behind his pain. Letting Sam walk out of his life was one regret that stuck with Tucker. Sam left to fulfill a dream but never forgot what he left behind.

Back home on the family ranch, Sam sees Tucker and is in full drool mode over how sexy he is.
Letting go and taking the plunge once again is not going to be easy. Yet it feels so right.

If you're sweet on cowboy romances, this is a good one to indulge in.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

What a way to pop my Kim Loraine cherry! This book was so good. It was steamy, a little angsty but not too much, fun, and just all around a great read. Sam and Tucker gave me all the feels. Their chemistry and connection was on fire. Did I mention that this was a steamy book? From their first kiss to their last the heat and heart was there. I would have enjoyed more details on Sam's accident and more information about where Tucker came from. There was mention of a hard upbringing, but not any details.
The Ryker family was so great. So accepting and loving and supportive. It was a beautiful thing to see. This was a really great MM cowboy love story.
