Restless Rancher

Wild Rose Ranch

By: Jennifer Ryan

Narrated by: Coleen Marlo

If you like bad-boy heroes, western settings, and a sexy, sassy heroine you will love Jennifer Ryan's newest Wild Rose Ranch book! Perfect for fans of Diana Palmer, Linda Lael Miller, and Jodi Thomas.

One minute down-on-his-luck rancher Austin Hubbard slept soundly, the next, a sassy spitfire dumped a pitcher of water on his head and woke him up—in more ways than one. Hired to help him rebuild his ranch, Sonya Tucker ends up helping him put the tattered pieces of his life back together. The capable, all-business accountant is on a mission to get the ranch up and running, but can he convince the temptingly beautiful woman to take a chance on him?

Sonya was dismayed that Austin had lost it all: money, family, respectability. Things she—who’d been raised by her mother at Nevada’s notorious brothel Wild Rose Ranch—only dreamed about. But working with the long, lean cowboy shows her that Austin is honorable to his core. Together they slowly grow to see what the love between them might bring.

But then Austin’s powder keg of a family feud explodes, exposing long-buried secrets, and threatening their new-found love…

Enjoyed the story

Book 2 of the series kept the interest going from book 1. Looking forward to book 3. Narrator good.

Another rose gets her man

Austin had one thing in the world that was truly his. The land his grandfather left him. His father wanted that land. He went to extremes to get it. But why?? That was the questions many and. Sonya was the oldest of the Wild Rose Ranch girls. She was number smart and could organize. She was the one that was appointed to come in and watch over her sister rose investment. She also had a past that could change peoples perception of her. Sonya knew who and what she was all about. She did not need anyone telling her a thing.

This Wild Rose Ranch installment had an added mystery to discover. Why does Mr. Hubbard want Austin's land to the point that he would shame fire and harm others to get it. Narcissistic was not the only word that comes to mind when think of Mr. Hubbard. He was just one of the secondary characters that make an impact in this story.

JR. makes some of the most interesting stories and makes her women strong determined and independent. Coleen Marlo brings them to life through voice tone diction and pitch.

Recommended

An excellent story. I continue to enjoy the characters. I also like the way the various prejudices are dealt with. They are so predominant in life today seeing it called out is good. I also enjoyed watching the ranch come back together with a lot of hard work and taking it one step at a time. With the availability h labor I would say the was pre-pandemic.
