Live Love Lasso

Pine Gulch Ever After, Book 1

By: Hazel Mack

Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Oliver Highpoint

Lemon

I screwed up my first solo potion, and now the customer is covered in hives. If that disaster wasn't bad enough, knowing it might get my family's potions house gobbled up by a competitor is the icing on the cake. What I didn't expect was for my father to ship me off to the Wild West monster haven of Pine Gulch as punishment. He calls it an opportunity to learn. Pfft. Pine Gulch is a temporary setback—I'll get back to the city in a New York minute.

Except things don't go as planned when a mysterious sickness befalls the haven's animals. Before I know it, I'm smack dab in the middle of an investigation. Unfortunately, Furyon Zayle, the ranger in charge of the investigation, is a smoking-hot dark elf with an unnatural amount of charm. His staring at me might be hot if I wasn't being accused of somehow manufacturing the illness.

I'm a fish out of water in the worst possible way, but the pull between Furyon and me is stronger than the threat of my guilt. He introduces me to the beautiful corners of Pine Gulch—hidden pumpkin mazes, a herd of wild mustangs, a magical auction house, and the saucy town itself.

Our connection deepens as I start to fall in love with the wildness of this country haven and its people… one specifically. But good things don't last as the investigation closes in on me. I know I'm innocent, but can Furyon and I find the culprit before I end up behind bars?

My New Favorite Hazel Mack Book!

This is officially my new favorite Hazel Mack book!

Live, Love & Lasso is part of the Gulch Ever After series, a spin-off from the Haven Ever After world, and I absolutely love everything about this universe. Mack’s books are flat-out fun, sassy, and packed with spice, and her imagination has quickly become one of my favorite places to hang out.

If you’ve never read this world before, imagine a grown-up version of Halloween Town, where monsters are everyday citizens living their lives alongside everyone else. The Gulch Ever After series keeps the same magical rules as Haven Ever After but moves the setting to Montana, which means we get a delicious mix of supernatural creatures and country-western vibes.

This story centers around Furyon, a rugged dark elf rancher, and Lemon, a recently relocated vampiress potions maker. When strange things start happening to the animals in the Gulch, Lemon’s perfectly timed arrival begins to look a little suspicious. Furyon sets out to investigate, but he quickly finds himself tracking more than just the mystery surrounding her.

The chemistry between these two is fantastic. Furyon definitely gives off that dirty-talking shadow-daddy energy, and Lemon is more than happy to sink her teeth into the situation (and possibly him). Their banter and tension made this story an absolute blast.

As someone who listens to almost exclusively audiobooks, I have to say the narration made this one even more fun. The performance really brings the humor, sass, and heat to life.

If you enjoy:
✨ paranormal romance
✨ small-town supernatural worlds
✨ spicy chemistry
✨ humor and sass

then you should absolutely check this one out.

🎧 Highly recommended in audiobook format!
