I was a little disappointed by this book because I thought it would be more about Cash and Gemma. Macie and Carter were kinda cute but the constant mood swings got old REAL FAST. Also what the fuck kind of friend flies in JUST for a threesome?!?!?!?!
I really love this series so far and I loved Gemma and Cash. Cash was big, strong and it was freaking AWESOME how he took control in the bedroom. I mean, holy hotness, Cowboy! :D I also like how there isn't a ton of angst in this series. don't get me wrong, there is SOME and of course there is some mis-communication, but it isn't OTT and for the most part, the MCs work on working things out. (Thank goodness because some books are too angsty and OTT for me. Sometimes I just want regular, every day stuff and how people deal with things; not emotional roller coasters that leave me dizzy.)
It was nice to revisit the MCs from the first book, and what I can only guess are MCs for future books, as well. The secondary storyline was a nice balance though I did think that Carter was an idiot and a jerk half the time. I'm glad he finally wised up because I was really starting to be disgusted by him. And how could he not KNOW how Macie was going to react?! I mean HELLOOOOO, you dumb moron! I wanted to slap Carter in the face and kick in the you know where for his ass hattery. *sighs* I'm still not sure how I feel about him at the end, but better than I did at the beginning, and I don't hate him, so there's that.
But that subplot aside, I did really enjoy this book. And now it's time to dive into the next in this series though I'm unsure about the age difference between the MCs. Hopefully it all works out!

I did not love the main characters. It was boring and seemed to drag on.
I wanted to see more of the father/daughter relationship but we see more of the one sided thoughts about the misunderstandings and little of the connecting between Cash and Macie.
I hated Carter. He is selfish and childish and while he grows it felt like not enough and too late.
I enjoyed the relationship between Gem and Macie. They really seem to understand each other.
Blatant racism and homophobia on the page is just unacceptable.
There are a lot of racist stereotypes and they are not questioned and built into the characters understandings of others and themselves. It felt icky.
Macie says in the page that she sensed homophobia from Carter but instead of confronting it she avoided talking about homosexuality. That did not sit well with me.

🎧 Audio Review 🎧
I love the Rough Riders series! I decided to go back to the beginning and listen to the audiobooks since I've only read this series. I actually started with book 2 (long story) but since it's been years since I read this book it was like the first time. I love that this book gives us 2 couples and 2 love stories but only 1 book. This series is super hot and I love those McKay boys, this book just reminded me how much I missed these families and I am excited to continue with the audiobooks.
The narration was a bit of an issue for me. She was good, I enjoyed her deep sultry voice but this is a western.... where are the accents?? It totally threw me off that they don't have any southern accents, isn't that a big reason to listen to the audiobooks, well it was for me anyway.

This book is beyond maddening, for me at least. Still, I couldn't help but finish it for all the stupidity it entails.
I understand whatever the sexual preference, styles, positions you and your partner want. No judgment there. What riles me up is when you have this disrespectful excuse of a person (Carter) who was not even there when Macy was growing up and not having her father near her, talked to Cash like he is just somebody they know. Carter barely knew the history of the two except of what was said by Macy. That made me see red right there, and Macy? She thought it was thoughtful of Carter to CARE like that for her? Going head to head with Cash just like that? I WOULD have slapped the living daylights of that crazy sh*t. You can tell me your opinion about my family when it's the two of us, nobody should talk to my family that way. Especially not in front of everyone. What the hell was that about?
Another thing I don't get, you love the person, they have this fantasy to have some three-some, you go call your bestfriend to help you fuck her and fulfill her fantasy. Is that really happening in the real world? Or with Cash and Gemma with Trevor, I can't seem to feel the connection of looking at that person with love while she's blowing you and your friend is fucking her from behind and expect a love everlasting? No. Just no. I accept all kinks for whatever it's worth, but there are just things that aren't worth selling. Not this one. I was angry for Carter's insensitivity, disrespect and narrow mindedness that I want to get into thr book and just kill the bastard. Story would be more interesting that way.
Oh well, it's over now.

I gave this book 3 stars on the sex scenes alone. Gemma and Cash were good but they weren't great. I just plain didn't like Carter, his personality was so volatile, causing me not to care about his relationship with Macie. The best thing about Carter was when Cash beat him up. But it won't keep me from continuing with the series.
