Hal

Riding Hard, Book 8

By: Jennifer Ashley

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

Former bull rider turned rodeo clown Hal Jenkins has found peace in Riverbend, away from his murky past. He’s also found Lucy Malory, a fiery, green-eyed woman full of laughter who might just like him back.

But Hal’s peace is ripped away when someone from his old life returns, threatening Hal and putting Lucy firmly in danger.

Lucy likewise came to Riverbend to heal from humiliation and a broken heart. Her interest in life renews, thanks to her new job and also the handsome Hal, who always seems to be there when she needs him.

As Hal’s life grows ever more complicated, he wants Lucy anywhere but near him. Lucy fears she faces another heartbreak when Hal is ready to run again. How can Lucy convince him that Riverbend is the best place to make his stand? And that she will stand with him?

How sweet Hal was

No mist communication between the two people, and the families coming together
Love this story

Great story.

Another wonderful story in this series. It’s always fun to hear of past book couples and what their lives are after their story ended. The narrator does a nice job. I’m keeping my fingers crossed Jack and Karen’s story comes quickly.

Not long enough for me

This was just too short for my taste. I like the "River Bend" folks and enjoy hearing the things they get up to, but I wish this could have been just a tad bit longer and more in-depth. This one needs just a little bit more action and more of the hero and heroine getting together. Just a little bit more bang for the buck! At least we get to see who's up next in the series. Looking forward to that one.

As Always, Eric G. Dove does an outstanding job. He is truly the voice of "River Bend"!
