Cowboy Strong
ByPublisher Description
Going Down Fighting
Ty Covington likes to keep things as uncomplicated as possible. By day, all that matters to him is his horse and winning in the rodeo ring. At night, all he wants is a deliciously hot, no-strings affair with his rival, Kenzie Malone. Then everything changes in one heart-stopping split second.
The accident should have killed both Ty and his horse. Instead, they're both on the road to a hard recovery—but only thanks to Kenzie's family connections and fortune. Which means he owes her. He owes a woman who is both everything he despises and his deepest desire. As need—hungry and demanding—takes them both over, Ty knows that this time, uncomplicated isn't an option. And this cowboy always pays his debts…

“This is sadly the last book in the Covington Brothers series. I really enjoyed all three books, including this last book.
While I was and still am huge fan of Cade, I must say this was my favorite book of them all.
After Ty and his horse get injured in a rodeo, thinks look really grim for him. He barley came away with his life in the accident and now is still recovering from it and it is a slow and painful progress.
He hates being seen like that and mostly hides in the house, while he is relying on his brothers and their wife and fiancé to do everything for him. He has a hard time recovering and often gets angry and bitter at anyone surrounding him.

Chemistry: Simmering
One-Sentence Summary: An accident causes a cowboy and a cowgirl to put their friends-with-benefits relationship into perspective.
Review: Oh I love, love, LOVED this book. It just gave me so many ~feelings~.
For a Harlequin Blaze, it's hard to expect more than sexytimes but this book went deeper than most with an actual plot and misunderstandings to deal with.
I loved both Ty and Kenzie from the first moment we met them bantering in the stable. Kenzie is so full of heart and sass, always looking to shake off her label as heiress and trying to make up for the loss of her brother. Ty is your typical easygoing love'em and leave'em cowboy .... until his accident. Then he turns into this angsty brooding shadow and Kenzie is the only one who can get him out of his funk.
I liked Kenzie's Dad and the part he played in the story. It was also good to see Ty's brothers and their other halves but I'm glad that the whole "family series" element didn't take over the whole book and it is very much Ty and Kenzie's story.
The author does a brilliant job of immersing you in the world of horses and rodeo and I am sad that we didn't get any hints as to whether Kenzie would compete for Nationals again in the future or, more importantly, whether Ty would have the confidence to ride and compete again.

“The last book in the trifecta of hunky Covington cowboys and it is about the youngest Ty. A playboy rodeo cowboy with dreams of being a master breeder. He has no intentions of slowing down or settling down, he has one goal and he is not going to side step it for anyone. Romantic, heartbreaking and one fantastic ending for this family.

Kenzie, the heir to a fortune and shadowed by a terrible accident is a friend with benefits girl. She is basically one of his rodeo booty calls and she knows it because he keeps his boots near the door not the bed. A good way to judge a cowboy's intent. While she may want more, she knows he does not, so she keeps what little she can of him, while having some dignity. Living in her megaman father's world everyone has an impression of who they think she is. She is not the pampered princess everyone thinks, she has had a hard road of her own and struggles with it daily.
When something bad happens at the rodeo everything changes. The friend make a promise that will alter their relationship forever. Life becomes a hardship, maybe not worth trying to fight, the lights go dim.

Ty is stubborn, pigheaded, emotionally stunted, argumentative and one sweetheart of man under it all, if you're willing to put your boots on and shovel. Luckily for the family there is one outsider who may have her own agenda, but carries a big shovel and owns high boots.
When I picture this trifecta of cowboys, Cade, Eli, and Ty, I can't help but see this in my mind. They are all sexy, intelligent men with a whole lot of twitching going on.
