Roped Tight

A Second Chance Romance

By: Kim Loraine

Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock, Teddy Hamilton, Stella Hunter

Duet narration from Teddy Hamilton and Aaron Shedlock, featuring Stella Hunter, plus a bonus novella, Hard Love: A Wilde Horse Ranch/Ryker Ranch prequel.

Second chances don’t come around every day, but Tucker Weston is mine.

Ten years ago, Tucker reeled me in with his sexy smolder. But he cut me loose after I fell hard for him that summer on my family’s ranch. I left without looking back. Went to chase my dreams and became Sam Ryker, world champion bull rider.

But I never forgot the first man I loved.

Now, I’m back at my family’s ranch and he’s here in front of me, just as rugged and hot as he’s always been. And though I’ve sworn to hate him for breaking my heart, I want him more than I should. All those promises I made to myself fly right out the window. Because when I'm near him, I can’t think. I can’t make the right choices.

Trouble is, my family needs me here, and I can't afford a distraction like Tucker Weston. It'll cost more than my heart this time around.

But all it takes is one kiss before he's got me roped tight yet again.

Roped Tight is a stand-alone M/M romance set in the Ryker Ranch world.

Critic reviews

"A passionate, emotional second chance love story, complete with a loving family too! You'll want to find a cowboy of your own." (Lauren Blakely, number one NYT best-selling author of One Time Only)

Sexy

The entire series leading up to Roped Tight is the perfect series to binge on. Especially loved Sam’s story. A lot of sexy going on!!

Wonderfully written story

Loved the characters and the way the story was written about how one came out to his family. A very loving family who only wanted to see that their loved one was happy. Hats off to the Kim Loraine for writing such a good story of love. So glad a story can be written without all of the homophobia that's thrown at gay couples these days.

Amazing

I loved this story so so much!
I also loved the fact that there were so many bonus chapters here. Thanks so much for the wonderful performances ❤️

Chemistry With a Side of Vulnerability

Sam is back on the ranch and an old flame is being rekindled. Sam and Tucker are stubborn and vulnerable, and their chemistry is explosive. The performance by the narrators was top notch, a solid story, my only issue (and it’s been my issue throughout the entire series) is when the characters give their excuses of why things won’t work, but it full on contradicts what they are actually doing. Also, the way the author handled Sam coming out of the closet to his family was absolutely perfect.

The bonus material included was just the cherry on top. The novella telling Mama’s love story, the sneak peak for Sera’s book, and the first couple chapters of Ignite (Travis’s story).

roped in to another ryker romance!

I just adore the Ryker family and couldn't wait for Sam & Tucker's book. Each book in this series is unique with their storyline and this book is no exception.
Sam has only loved one person in his life and he thought that love was rejected. He left town to pursue his dreams but years later he returned to the family and the ranch. Tucker is like family, he's been with the Rykers for years and he and Sam sparked immediately.
This is not just a typical hot cowboy story, but also a journey of understanding, awareness and discovery. As much as I love Sam, I love Tucker even more.
Teddy & Aaron are fantastic as Tucker & Sam and Kim does an amazing job writing this MM love story.
Loved the teaser at the end!

Sam is here!

The last Ryker brother finally gets his second chance love story in Roped Tight. Kim Loraine has delivered not one but two sexy cowboys in this MM story with Sam Ryker, who has finally returned home, and Tucker Weston. These two have insane chemistry that burns up the pages while reading and keeps you wanting more of them even after their story has come to an end. Plus we get to see more of the entire Ryker family.

All the narrators did a wonderful job conveying these characters in this story. They brought this story to life playing Sam and Tucker and all the other side roles with the differentiation needed to separate each person. I would listen to another book narrated by any one of the narrators.

Another Ryker to Fall For

In this beautifully written M/M romance we finally get Sam Ryker’s story. We didn’t see much of Sam in the previous books and now we know why. After his first heartbreak, Sam left the ranch to pursue his career in the bull riding circuit only coming home when necessary. Now with the recommendation to retire from his passion, Sam is home for good. He is now to work with his first love on the show Saddle Up. Find out what happens when they finally come clean with their feelings.

Kim Loraine wrote a beautiful story for Sam and Tucker. I’m using not one for M/M romances, but I really swooned for these two cowboys. Kim’s cowboys are so sexy and swoony. There is drama, love, and fiery hot passion between two enemies that become lovers.

Aaron Shedlock and Teddy Hamilton are fantastic together on this audio. They both are gritty cowboys but are so sweet and swoon-worthy when needed. We also get a special guest appearance from the lovely Stella Hunter. As always, she is perfect as all the females in the duet.

MM Cowboy Romance

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.

Perfect narrator pairing!

My first book by Kim Loraine and I picked it up solely on the basis of the 2 male narrators, who happen to be one of my favorite duos! Aaron Shedlock and Teddy Hamilton can do no wrong, at least when it comes to my ears.
This was a sweet second chance romance- Sam and Tucker were meant to be.
This is the fifth book in the Sunrise Cowboys series, and although you definitely know you're missing things from the previous books, I feel like there's no issue reading this as a standalone. I did fall in love with the Ryker family so maybe one day I'll go back and read the rest of the series.

Loved

I have enjoyed all of the Ryder stories in this series. This one was one of my favorites as Sam and Tucker are the perfect couple, Teddy and Aaron are both amazing narrators and then you add in Stella Hunter and they all bring the story alive. Can tell that Kim has enjoyed writing this series. Was a nice way to spend the day listening while I was at work and driving around.
