An Instalove OTT Short Romance (Willowbrook Ridge Rangers)

By: Julia Stone

Narrated by: Tiffany Hertz

Stella:
Chasing rumors of a legendary beast prowling these mountains sounded like the perfect thrill. When I finally find it, things don’t go as planned—because instead of a mythical creature, I end up spraying a very human, very furious ranger with bear spray. Whoops. Alex may be intimidating, but he's also as stubborn as I am. Now, the real challenge isn’t finding the beast… It's dealing with a man who might be more than I can handle.

Alex:
My job as a ranger doesn’t usually include being mistaken for a rampaging bear, but today is apparently special. When Stella shows up—wild-eyed and brandishing bear spray—I’m blinded, furious, and determined to get answers. But as it turns out, she's searching for something impossible and isn’t willing to leave until she’s satisfied with her findings. Somehow, I can't stop being drawn into her chaos. Even if it makes me the so-called “beast” she’s after.

Short novella

This is the first novella in the Willowbrook Ridge Rangers series, a Mountain Man Series. Stella and Alex's story is steamy, fast-paced, and sweet. Tiffany Hertz has a lovely voice, and a good vocal range. However, the audiobook requires some editing (mainly for repeated lines). I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

short romance

A great short insta-love romance read. I have really enjoyed reading the entire Willowbrook Ridge Rangers series so far. Each book can be read as stand-alones. Enjoyed listening to the narrator for this story.

This is the first story in the "Willowbrook Ridge Rangers" series. It is a very short and quick read about Stella and Alex. Stella is looking for a beast, some excitement and a little danger. When she is startled by a hulking beast she fires her Bear spray. Oooppps! She found and attacked a beastly park ranger instead, Alex. They fall hard and fast for each other in this sweet, steamy and cute story. The narration was nicely done and really brought the characters and story to life.
