Between the Pines

Black Springs Ranch, Book 1

De: Amber Palmer

Narrado por: Savannah Thomas, Austin Stone

Josie Hayes is always on the run. From bad decisions. From heartbreak. From cowboys.

Her latest escape was supposed to be a quiet reset at her family's cabin in Tennessee—not a reckless detour at a smoky backwoods bar and definitely not a collision with Lincoln Carter. Rugged and magnetic, he's temptation in a cowboy hat, and his slow smile makes forgetting her rules far too easy.

Their connection is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. What starts with teasing glances and lingering touches spirals into a series of nights that feel like more—too much more. By the end of the week, Josie does what she does best: she bolts, leaving behind only her name and the memory of a man she can't shake.

A year later, Josie's done running. With a steady job, a new boyfriend, and her life finally on track, she's ready to prove she's not the same girl she used to be. Except her father's prestigious summer horse training program just brought a ghost from her past straight to her front door.

Lincoln isn't the forgiving type, and now that he's on the ranch, he's determined to show Josie exactly what she left behind—and what they could have had if she'd stayed.

As old wounds reopen and sparks reignite, Josie must decide: keep running from her past or take a chance on the cowboy who just might be worth staying for?

Heat heat

First time reading anything by Amber Palmer and i love her style. Page turner. Great characters and story line

Love!

I’ve read a lot of cowboy romances. This was top teir. Second chance romance with the hottest mmc who falls first and hard AF. Need I say more… aside from how much I love this male narrator. I’ll listen to him all day. Read it now! Do yourself a favor.

4.5 stars!

absolutely love Josie & Lincoln! The audio for this was so freaking enjoyable! I listened to it in a day! Performed in dual by Savannah Thomas & Austin Stone and both did an amazing job with this one!

When Josie finds herself needing an escape and walking into a bar, she certainly wasn't planning for a night that was hot and heavy with a gorgeous man. But the chemistry and banter between them is perfect from the start! But after 5 days of never being apart, Josie finds herself running away, back to her life in Texas. And when Lincoln shows up later on her family's ranch to work, she is thrown off guard seeing him again. But this man...omg this man, he is determined to be with her again and does not hesitate to make his feelings known. Talk about swooning!!

For the audio 4🌟. For the Narrators 5 🌟. For the book it's self 5 🌟. It's not often that you can find a book that represents anxiety and overthinking well.
