Rough Stock

Looking for a really quick, hot read that you won't be able to put down and may even get you to shed a tear or two? Do you like to read about cowboys? M/F/M Menages? Really sweet characters who start out as friends and then become lovers? Give "Rough Stock" by Cat Johnson a try. Even though it was a menage book, and had its erotic moments, it was still a really sweet read, and not a total sexfest as you might expect. The characters were well drawn and believable, there were a few curve balls in [...]

WowI love this bookbut then again it not only has 1 but 2 hot cowboys. Mason & Clay are best friends and both work on a local ranch working stock while also bronc riding. April is their bosses daughter and both of the guys best female friend. They guys are just starting to 'notice' April at the end of their senior year in high school. After a bad prom night, they discover that April is attacked to both of them and whats to be with both of themunfortunalely they end up going their seperate wa [...]

I liked this quite a bit, but was sorely let down a the end. it ended abruptly - like halfway during their story it felt like. I also may have given it a higher rating of the characters had been a little older. menages at 18 (and for the first time) are a little toooooo much for me.It was a simple basic love story. Friends grew into lovers, they all moved away, an accident happens and they all get together again with an amazingly high amount of doubt. Overall, cute story.

I like Cat's books, until the last 10%. They just end. I wish she'd put as much effort into the end as she does the beginning. It's kind of like falling off a cliff.

I really liked this book. It's about three best friends growing up together and eventually falling in love. Very typical menage story but I still liked it. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars was because of Mason. I just didn't like him and he frustrated me so much! I know he's supposed to be the sensitive one to contrast Clay's more dominating personality, but seriously, did he always have to whine about everything regarding April? He apparently loved her so much but was never willing to f [...]

Lena’s Review:April Carson has the best of both worlds but in secret. She has two guys who are her best friends and now it’s more. For years they have all been together her, Mason and Clay, yet this summer things are changing. April knows her love for them is different and questionable. They have been through things unlike friends have ever been through and it complicates April’s life now.Cat Johnson created a story that is unlike any story this reviewer has read. Rough Stock is a tale of [...]

This really felt like two short stories rather than a single book. The first part of the book deals with the beginning of the relationship between the trio just after they graduate high school. This section is told entirely from the two guy's viewpoint and has a nice mix of emotion and sex. Just when it started to get really interesting, the author jumps to part two, set an unspecified number of years later. The second part - told from all three characters viewpoint - deals with them reuniting a [...]

Cowboys Clay and Mason both fall in love with April, the girl they have known since they were young. I was expecting a couple of three ways but I was not expecting for her to fall in love and stay with both men. I guess I enjoy the triangles that end with a nice little bow with only one of the guys getting the girl, so I was surprised when all three of them stayed together. The book was written extremely well, and I did enjoy it. I think I really wanted her to end up with Mason since he was the [...]

Sadly had to give up on this one due to a few problems I had with the book.Firstly, it's told from the perspective of the two male protags for the first half of the book. We don't hear from the heroine until over halfway through. Unfortunately, by this point, she already comes off as being kind of dim and seeing things from her POV doesn't help much.Secondly, the second sex scene: drunken anal sex with a virgin by the lake. Maybe if we had gotten it from April's POV it would have been easier to [...]

Short but hawt, hawt, hawt story about three childhood friends turned lovers!! Mason and Clay and April have hung out together for years. All of a sudden, April is all grown up and the guys notice! And since April can't choose between them, they agree to share her. They spend the summer after high school graduation together, but then life sends them in different directions. When Clay is severely injured in a bronc riding competition, the three come back together after years of little communicati [...]

The heart wants what it wants…Bronc riders Mason and Clay have shared both good times and bad as best friends, but they never expected to share their boss’s daughter, April. Can two friends love one woman, body and soul, without it destroying them?The heart wants what it wants. For April that means not choosing between the two cowboys she loves, no matter how wrong it may seem inviting them both into her bed.Life sends the three lovers in opposite directions, but a devastating injury brings [...]

My apologies to Ms. Johnson for my original two star review. For some reason, I had a completely different book in mind when I rated this one. I actually really enjoyed this book. I was a little worried about the majority of the events happening during their teenage years because seriously, what 18 year old knows what they want for the rest of their lives? But you can really see the characters maturing and how they've grown without growing out of their feelings for each other. I think it was rea [...]

Erotic but what a beautiful story about friends who are more worried about losing each other than having just what each might want. It is a testimony to the power of true friendship that turns into lasting love, a friendship/love that thinks of others more than oneself. It is a short book but one that will give you a genuine case of the "warm fuzzies." It is also a great look into the world of rodeo, of military experience, and how coming out of diverse life experiences can add dimension to rela [...]

Sweet and heartfelt story of 3 friend who become lovers in their last year of high school. They reunite after tragedy strikes years later and they have to get through some pain, some revelations, and each has to compromise in order to make their unusual relationship work.

April has two hot, sexy cowboys for herself and they love heris is a very interesting book and I loved itI find I am interested in how the three work things outI myself think I would love two hot cowboys sharing mebut that is another dream.Good Book!!!

Mason and Clay have loved April since before they really knew what love was, so when the relationship between them changes will everyone be happy or will someone come to be hurt. I really enjoyed this little story wish more was added to it like another story.onto the next

Auntee was right about this book. It was a sweet little menage story. The characters were really likable and nothing too tragic happened. It's a great story for someone looking for a short, feel-good read.

4 starsFor an ER, this has fun, hot and passionate characters combined with a decent, short plot with a hint of wit. Fun and hot.

I read an older cover of this book. It was my first by this author, and I loved it. Menage and cowboys are my favorite.

Cowboys and an HEA menage story, yes please! Quick read but definitely good. I loved broody Mason, and sweet optomistic Clay. April is one lucky lady!

While I did really like this book I felt something was off or missing. I liked the characters and the story was good. It just seemed off.

This book did not have enough character development for me. It seemed like it could have been a good book had there been more information about the characters.OK, but not great.

hot menage with a decent story. I love the friends to lovers theme. This was a quick hot read that really started me on the road to loving menage stories.

I really enjoyed this week can't wait for next one.
