Rough and Ready by Vanessa Vale is now live!
When a rough-edged bad boy takes on a straight-laced college professor, can they both win the fight of their life?
Reed Johnson grew up on the streets rough and ready with his fists to survive. These days, all his fighting now is done in the ring. With The Outlaw as his coach, he's way more than a cowboy. That was enough for him, until he meets his new neighbor.
Harper Lane's running from a dangerous past, but no matter how hard she tries, it follows. This time, she's not alone. She runs right into the arms of Reed. She's his now. His to protect. His to save. To do so, he'll have to return to the life he's left behind. But the brainy PhD is worth the fight and with her, he'll be ready for anything. Even something he never thought he deserved. Love.

Review:
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Rough and Ready is the second book in the More Than A Cowboy series by Vanessa Vale. It's a stand-alone novel and the characters from Strong and Steady appear in this one. We met Reed in the first book as Gray's trainee, so he wasn't an unfamiliar face. I don't recall having met Harper in that book though.
I feel like I should warn you that the book could have some triggers for some people. I don't want to say anything because it will spoil a part of the story, but at the same time, I won't feel good if I don't mention it.
Harper is way more complicated than I thought she would be. Her character reminded me a lot of Ellie from J. Kenner's Fallen Saint trilogy and I think that anyone who has read these two books will see the similarities. Their motivations are completely different though and I, in no way, want to accuse VV of anything. I am only adding the last one, because a lot of shady things are going on in the romance world lately. I don't think that straight-laced is a phrase that can describe the Harper I read about. She is many things and straight-laced is not something I would say about her.
I wasn't expecting Reed to be as sweet and understanding as he was. I thought he would be more macho and closed off and I am glad he wasn't. Once he realized that Harper was the one for him there was nothing stopping him from getting her and making sure that she was safe.
Overall, the book was good and I would recommend it.
