Cowboys Don't Ride Unicorns

I liked this one better than the previous book with Rand and Kai.
Danny and Laurie were definitely made for each other.
Lawrence a.k.a Laurie is a flamboyant and beautiful man, with a great sense of fashion, rich boyfriend and a city guy.
Not compatible with Danny the bull rider at all.
But don't ever under estimate Laurie. He's probably looked like a girl, but he can make a bull rider fall on his feet. Literally! And he can fight man! What a guy!
I liked the chemistry between Danny and Laurie from the start, even some point, I doubted his fidelity to his rich lawyer boyfriend. But I knew something's coming so...I waited.
And yeah, as predictable the case with the boyfriend is, I think Laurie made a point why he's 'not comfortable with his boyfriend.
Not everybody liked it when your whole life you have to do things for everybody and makes everybody happy and being a trophy boyfriend.
At some point, Laurie had to make a decision how would he live his life the way he wanted.
And Danny is in the picture.
Enjoy the ride!

Oh Tara Lane, how do I love thee………

…….and I love you even more for writing this book. You concocted the perfect blend of sexy, smouldering, sinfully delicious offerings in Danny Boone and Laurie Belmont.

But it wasn't a Yee-Haw ride all the way. The author galloped in with a nasty, bigotry side-story, showing the devastation that it leaves on people’s souls when it touches you (yep, it was tissue time). For me, it was about love and hope, fighting for what you want and being proud when you achieve it and I have to give full kudos to Tara Lain on the delivery of this.

Danny is a saddle tramp, he works on a Dude Ranch with a dream of someday owning his own Ranch. To make extra money, he’s a Bull Rider. Not the big leagues – he done that in the past with devastating consequences, so now it's the smaller Rodeo with less money, but where his real identity is unknown.
Laurie in the other hand, has no problem with people knowing his identity, in fact he encourages it. He’s flamboyant, certainly doesn't hide his sexuality and knows what he wants - especially with his mother directing him in the course to go and with whom. But he too has secrets….

I'm a real sucker for insta-love, throw in a well written femme MC (which the author did so amazingly well) and I'm in Cowboy Heaven, I certainly reached the stars with this one. I loved it. Now I admit that at first, I didn’t quite get the title? Now I do! and have to say that it is perfect for this book – read the book to find out why……

Though Book 2 of this Series, it can be read very successfully as a stand alone and I highly, highly recommend that you do, because Tara Lain took an illusion and made it real for Danny Boone, let her make it real for you too.

This is book two in Tara Lain’s Cowboy’s Don’t series. The previous book was about Rand and Kai and we are dealing with a whole new duo in this one! Cowboy’s Don’t Ride Unicorns is absolutely a standalone and doesn’t require you to read book one to understand anything.



Danny works for Rand and Kai on their ranch and he has quite the sad and violent past. He also has big dreams about a small life. You can feel the longing as you read this character. He has a “type” and there’s nothing wrong with that. Being a big bad bull rider once upon a time, and surviving a homophobic father who stole all his money and nearly killed him, Danny’s dreams feel like just that…dreams.



Laurie is pretty much everything Danny craves. When we meet him he’s in a relationship and has his boyfriend with him on this vacation. I have to say, I wondered how the author was going to work this. Laurie is beautiful. He is the femme unicorn Danny has longed for and a power top to boot! Laurie is super unhappy in his current relationship. He has an awful mother and is so stuck in his occupation. He needs more.



There’s some issues with cheating that this book touches on that in a small way made me have sort of an icky feeling about Laurie. I felt that he really needed to deal with his current relationship before anything with Danny and that left me with a bad taste in my mouth toward the character. But there are cheaters and redeemers in this world so I didn’t feel it took me out of the story too much to hope for Laurie and Danny.



It is a sweet story with a lot of self-discovery and making dreams come true. Though I loved book one better I found this one to be enjoyable and entertaining.
