~**~ ARC Review: Tripped Out (Blacktop Cowboys #8.5) by Lorelei James ~**`



***4 ‘4-20’ Stars***

Let me start off my saying that when it comes to Lorelei James’ cowboy series I am a total fangirl, even if the main characters are not cowboys or cowgirls, as long as the story takes places in one of those worlds I will ALWAYS get excited and want to get my hands on the book and Tripped Out was no different. I wanted to know what was going on with Stirling and Liam after that little glimpse of them in Strung Up and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by how their relationship played out. It was a fun, smexy and quick read and I even enjoyed getting a look into the whole recreational/medicinal marijuana industry.

I really liked Stirling and Liam. Stirling was a force to be reckoned with. I enjoyed how her mind worked and how determined she could be when she put her mind to it. I loved learning about her past and how she came to be comfortable in her own skin. Liam was sweet, smexy and I loved when his geeky side came out to play. He didn’t have the easiest childhood or teenage years, and he still bears scars from it, but he still has a golden heart. As I’ve already said, their journey to their HEA was a pleasant surprise. The antagonism between them, and how they dealt with it, was all at once funny and juvenile, but showed beyond a shadow of a doubt how into each other they really were. I enjoyed how they finally got past it and learned what really made the other tick and found that they fit each other perfectly.

Tripped Out was a fun read, not that I had any doubt it would be, and I have to say that as much as I enjoyed Stirling and Liam, I really liked learning about the recreational & medical marijuana industry and what goes into running a dispensary. There is a nice little side twist thrown into the story and I can’t help but hope something more may come out of it? But, if not it definitely made me happy that it was included.

Where there’s smoke…

Stirling Gradsky abandoned the corporate rat race for a more laidback lifestyle. So it’s ironic she’s partnered with a hard-bodied, know-it-all scientist who treats her like a stoner instead of a stone cold business woman capable of running a large scale marijuana farm. Dr. Hot and Tattooed with the big…brain needs to stop sampling their product; he’s under the half-baked idea that he’s the boss.

Dr. Liam Argent’s doctorate isn’t in chemistry, but from the moment he meets his sexy new coworker, there’s enough heat between them to short out all the grow lights in the greenhouse. First item on his agenda? Clearing up the sassy, blunt blonde’s hazy notion that she’s in charge.

Sparks fly as their attraction blazes. But can they weed out their differences without getting burned?
