Keeping my heart guarded all my life has never been an issue. Until he saves me in a bar fight.

Charlie Montgomery is one grumpy rancher. Calloused hands, stubborn heart, the definition of a true cowboy. He dislikes me from the second we meet. Warns me away from his tiny town of Resurrection, Montana. Well, what he doesn't know is I'm armed with a bucket list and a secret. There's no way I'm leaving. I'll just keep my distance.

Only in a small town that distance doesn’t last for long. Because I owe him a favor: Work for him for three months and help him save his home. Runaway Ranch.

But our close confines mean I see what's under all that strong. I see the real Charlie Montgomery. The man behind the rugged rancher who yells. Beneath his dark beard hides a rare smile. Beneath his mile-wide chest beats a tender heart. One that slowly starts to beat for me.

And instead of running back onto that open road, I run towards Charlie instead.

But a hidden danger is lurking. Someone who doesn't want Charlie to save his ranch. Someone who is out to get us both. And I could lose more than my heart this summer—I could lose my life . . .

Contains mature themes.

This story was so much fun! The narrators were fantastic! This story has so many elements. It’s funny, fun and cheeky. It is hot and spicy, had suspense and all the gooey feels! Charlie and Ruby just had that connection from the first look. They may have not seen it, but the reader sure will! He’s the broken rough and tumble cowboy and she’s the sun and warmth with sass! I loved their chemistry and the plot + his brothers kept me completely invested!

Fantastic Narration

Gawd, this was so romantic! Charlie and Ruby had immediate chemistry, despite their dynamic being a classic grumpy/sunshine. I loved what a free-spirit Ruby was and how she drew Charlie out of his shell. I also thought her chronic heart condition was handled with care and sensitivity throughout the story. There was definitely an element of suspense with the sabotage at the ranch as well as Ruby's worsening illness and it veered into the realm of melodrama a few times, but never enough to truly take me out of the story. Oh, and the spice? Chef's kiss.

The audiobook narration was fantastic (as expected from CJ Bloom and Teddy Hamilton). I only wish the following books in the series were also available as audiobooks!

So Romantic!

This was my first book by this author and it definitely won’t be my last! I’ve been on a small town romance spree and this one did. It disappoint!! I listened to the audio of this one and it was so good! The narrators did such a great job bringing this book to life! They made it so you really felt the emotions in this book. Let me tell you, you will get the feels! They really made it so I was hooked immediately! This was a one sit listen! If you re looking for a small town, cowboy, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity with a splash of suspense make sure to check Tame the Heart out! Overall a great read that I definitely recommend!

So good!
