Overall Opinion:
A PR relationship leads to a whirlwind romance that could sweep anyone off by their feet with how quick it was! Time after time without fail, an instant romance could ruin any series for me, unless it’s straight Erotica and this fit perfectly in that category. Sure there was not any real depth to the characters, realistic romance nor a decent storyline yet this would be a perfect fit for anyone looking for a quick and easy read to put you in the holiday mood.

A brief introduction of Brek from Book 1 of the series and gives a glimpse into Brek's life before he helped his sister. This is only the second book I've read by Hovland and I must say I am hooked. She is a definite must read author for me. I look forward to reading more of this series and her other works.

Tucker McKay is a semi-retired rock star who broke up with his rock band a few years ago due to the stress and pressures of losing his muse and writing abilities. He only has a few more weeks left in LA before retiring full time to his Colorado ranch. He has to fulfill his last few obligations including being in a fake relationship with a woman he has lusted after from afar.

Mackenzie Bennett is America's Sweetheart, who is worried about slowly fading from the spotlight and becoming obscure even though she's tiring of acting. She has also been secretly writing screenplays for movies in her spare time but only showing them to her best friend and manager, Leah. One embarrassing trip-up lands her face first in a man's crouch--a gorgeous, sexy man she blushes thinking about. And is now in a fake relationship with in an attempt to salvage her career. Too bad she falls for the sexy sweet cowboy with an incredible family.



Blurb:

A supercouple for Christmas.

Rock ‘n’ roll cowboy Tucker McKay’s muse has left the building. Returning to his roots at his Colorado ranch might be the inspiration he needs, and he’s done everything he can to ensure his reputation shines for his eventual return to the public eye, should his muse show up again. Ready to leave town, he’s not prepared for the paparazzi frenzy after a starlet falls face down on his lap at L.A.’s trendiest new night club.

America’s Sweetheart, Mackenzie Bennett’s career is on the rocks after a few lackluster movies damaged her studio appeal. She needs something to change, and fast. What she does not need is the firestorm that ensues after an ill-fated spill is caught on camera. Spending Christmas in Colorado with the man she publicly embarrassed is her only option to turn around the bad press.

While a fake relationship might drum up the publicity needed to save both of their careers, a small-town family Christmas may be just what they both need to figure out what truly matters… Buy Rock Hard Cowboy for a steamy, laugh-out-loud Christmas romance!

I had a great time with Tucker and Mackenzie..These two had met before and had some good chemistry or that is what Mackenzie thought until Tucker came out in an interview and was not very flattering so she decides she is going to confront him when she sees him when she least expects it, unfortunately for her it was not the place or time and now to save their image they have to get into a fake relationship which we all know never stay fake..Tucker's family was funny and just the needed humor we needed. I loved having Brek again even if it was a short while.Grab a copy and Enjoy!
