Saddle Up

By: A.M. Arthur

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

Welcome to Clean Slate Ranch: Home of tight jeans, cowboy boots, and rough trails. For some men, it’s a fantasy come true.

Reyes Caldero keeps his past buried deep and his emotions buried deeper. But what he doesn’t say he always makes up for with his actions. When the hot chef he once saved from an abusive ex turns up at Clean Slate Ranch, the quiet cowboy is happy to act on their sizzling chemistry, even if he’s not ready to share his secrets—or his heart.

Miles Arlington needs to get the hell out of San Francisco, and heading north for a job near Clean Slate Ranch seems like just the thing. It doesn’t hurt that his secret crush slash onetime rescuer happens to work at the ranch. Miles has never been one for the outdoors, but the superhot Reyes has him ready to saddle up.

Reyes is happy to keep things casual, even though his heart has other ideas. And when Miles is forced to confront his past again, Reyes and Miles will have to put all their trust in each other if they want any chance at building a future together.

Good Read, thanks for the relaxation.

I liked this book, the emotional development and progression of the characters. The story was believable and enjoyable, I will listen to this author again. I really appreciated the way the survivors of abuse were treated in this book, it is very important to represent abuse properly and accurately Thank You.

My favorite of the series

This has been sitting on my Kindle for a while. Honestly, after the last book I was a little nervous about reading it. This has not been my favorite series by this author…and I’ve been surprised by that because I’m a big fan of hers. But with Greg Boudreaux performing, I decided to listen to the story and I’m glad I did. This book felt more like a typical A.M. Arthur story and I’m glad for it.

I like the friends-to-lovers angle taken with these two because neither of them needed to rush into anything. Their romance was more believable with the slow build. The story was a bit predictable but it didn’t detract from the story.

There is quite a bit of angst with Miles’ ex continuing to stalk and pursue him. Reyes’ past was shocking but thankfully these guys get their HEA.

Mack and Wes as well as Colt and Avery continue to be big players in this book. We get some hints about a posible future character which I would stick around for if we get another book in the series.

As always, Mr. Boudreaux’s performance was perfection.

Amazing!!

I am beyond words!! This was absolutely amazing! It was well written and put together very lovely. Adore the characters

all the stars

I loved everything I love the story I love the narrator couldn't wait to get back to it when I got pulled away from it just all the Stars

Reyes & Miles' Story, GB is Wonderful!

When I grabbed Lucky Break off Netgalley last month I read it before I read Saddle Up. It wasn't that hard to keep up, but missing all the details about setting up the ghost town and the introduction of Shawn's character had me feeling a bit lost.

The books in AM Arthur's Clean Slate Ranch series really do build upon each other, and the characters from earlier books spend a fair bit of time in this one... I'm just saying: read them in order if you can.

So I am glad I got Reyes and Miles' story. I thought Miles was an interesting character way back from Wes' sister's wedding party, and Arthur does a great job with the past abuse issues Miles suffers from. Reyes has a terrific story as well, and the plot of Saddle Up is very well done.

As with the first two books in this series, I enjoyed it in audiobook form. The always incredible Greg Boudreaux turns in a marvelous performance, and he really does add an extra special layer to this series.
