AHHHH Kane!!! Kade, Colt and Kane are the epitome of real men! Strong, protective, sensitive, caring….. and most of all SEXY AS HELL!!!! Thank you Lorelei for writing some of the best love stories (cowboy or not) around. I live in the suburbs of Michigan but dream of those sexy cowboys down south and out west! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve read each book… if i could have worn out the pages on my nook I probably would have already! Keep on writing and know that you have some of the most loyal fans around!

CONGRATS on the release…
This series is the reason I purchased my Kindle…tired of waiting for the print…but I still buy all the print version as well…of course for the covers…so I read it first in e-book then stare aimlessly at the cover in print form…oh then i do a re-read as well
respectfully a fan

Congratulations on another great book in print. Just received my notification that my book is shipping. Cannot wait. Already have this on my kindle and as with all your books, have to have both. I’m already rereading all the RR series so I can read Raising Kane once it’s in my hand. Then, of course, I’ll reread them when Chasing Eight comes out. LOVE ALL YOUR BOOKS AND ALL THE MCKAYS.

Congrats Lorelei on the print release! I love all of the RR books. I have re-read them all 2, 3 and some 4 times on my nook. (Yes I am one of the instant gratification girls!
) I have bought all the books out in print I can get my hands on. Kanes story is one of my favorites, and I can’t wait to see if B & N has it. I don’t know if I can make a run over there at lunch though, I may have to wait until thursday after work to go by. 
I too LOVE the covers! MMMM….MMMM!

Congrats on the print release! Raising Kane is one of (if not) my favorite RR book. I fell for Kane way before he got his own book so naturally I looove a book that focuses on him and his sexy self
and I was really happy with Ginger being the woman he was paired with! They are one hot hot hot couple

I loved Kane’s book – I think he comes second only to Cord (my favorite). My only complaint about the Rough Riders series is that you are almost out of hunky McKay men to write about. The family should have been a lot bigger!!!

Maren,
I just have to tell you that ‘YES’, you do sense an addiction coming up. Although I have read the entire Rough Riders series available in paperback and am impatiently waiting for my book #9 to be delivered to me, I am fairly new to Lorelei James myself. I have also just completed the first two books of the Blacktop Cowboys series (very, very good!) and cannot wait for the next one. I am a HUGE fan of Lorelei James and all of her sexy cowboys! Happy reading!
