Does it make sense to get turned on by girly guys when you want to be topped? No. Hell, no.

After a big past in bull riding that nearly killed him, Danny Boone’s looking for a quiet, low-key future on a small ranch of his own.

Two problems.
Where’s he going to get the money for a ranch except on the back of a bull?

And how can he stay low-key when his fantasy is a guy with rose-gold hair, legs for days, a high-profile decorating business, and an appetite for expensive lace lingerie?

Designer, Laurie Belmont needs to get out from under the thumb of a domineering mother, helpless father, and rich, privileged boyfriend. He can’t solve his problems with a two-bit cowboy who’s going to die getting thrown from a bull -- no matter how perfect his ass is.

Talk about lives that are worlds apart.

Everybody knows cowboys don’t ride unicorns.

COWBOYS DON’T RIDE UNICORNS is a toppy femme, bull-riding cowboy, opposites-attract, hidden identity, world’s colliding, dysfunctional family, guest ranch vacation, MM romance – with a red bustier.
 





My Rating - 3.5 Stars!

Cowboys Don't Ride Unicorns is a fun opposites attract romance. Tara Lain's second book in the Cowboys Don't series, it's easily read as a standalone. 

If you like opposites attract, this one is certainly that. This is a tale of a bull rider and femme designer falling for one another. It's a tale of a tough and badass bull rider who wants to be topped. 

It all starts when Laurie and his boyfriend Grove are guests at the ranch where Danny works. The heat starts when Danny gets hot listening to Laurie and Grove have sex. Ohhh...love this scene.

One of the best parts of this story is the sexual awakening for Danny, as he never knew he was into femme boys, until he sees the sparkly Laurie. 

If you like men in lingerie, like I do, you will love this one. There's corsets and lace, and plenty of kinky moments. I can't get enough of Laurie and his femme side.

Their meeting is wonderful and I adore the way the two hit it off quickly and easily connect. Adding to the intrigue is that neither man is ultimately representative of their career or appearance. 

There's plenty of conflict for the men, including homophobia and family issues, from both sides, including a controlling mother.  The feelings of inadequacy  and desires that need to be toned down is well done. 

This one definitely gets off to a slow start, but I am glad I kept reading. I think in the end though, the pace is what kept the rating under a 4 for me. I love the storyline, just not the pace. 

Cowboys Don't Ride Unicorns is a  nice story of finding oneself and setting oneself free of expectations. Tara Lain entertains in this story of finding happiness and grabbing ahold of it. It's a sweet, hurt/comfort romance.
