In order to save her land and maintain her horse farm, Rusty Blackhawk goes into partnership with a several-times-removed cousin she never knew existed. Of course this is all necessary because her now deceased, no-good husband did not have any life insurance and he left her with a mountain of debt. So, for the next five years, Rusty has to put up with some stranger living on her land and running things. But, hey it is much better than losing the beloved land that has been in her family for many generations, or even worse being forced to marry one of her brother-in-laws.

Clay Russell doesn’t know how his family was able to swindle him into taking on the day-to-day operations of the Blackhawk Farm until the horse ranch is back on its feet. So, instead of focusing on his plans of winning the Nationals in bull-riding, Clay is on his way to meet the ranch owner, Rusty Blackhawk, whom he hopes willnot give him much heartache due to Clay taking over the farm. Clay is not up to dealing with any unnecessary hassle from Mr. Blackhawk. Much to Clay’s surprise, not only does Rusty turn out to be a beautiful woman, but she is also a witch that set his soul on fire. How is Clay supposed to keep his mind on the business at hand when all he wants to do is to take Rusty to bed?

Molding Clay is book two in the Ciana Stone’s Hot in the Saddle series and what a spectacular story it is. I was thoroughly enthralled by this smoking hot novel from the very first page until the dramatic conclusion. Molding Clay is a poignant, sexy as hell type of story. The explosive, sexual chemistry between Clay and Rusty had my body temperature going up in heated flames and squirming around in my seat with lustful desire. The suspenseful twisters thrown in throughout the plot kept me highly engrossed and wondering what was going to happen next. If you are looking for a well-balanced story filled with numerous ultra-hot, passionate, sexual encounters and a gripping storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat, then Molding Clay is the right book for you. This book is definitely a must read!
