It Started with a Bang

Red River Romps, Book 1

De: Piper James

Narrado por: Melissa Green, Jarman Day

First, I hit him with my car. Then I hit him with an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Annabelle

My father really outdid himself this time. If he wasn’t already the worst, his newest demand surely gave him that title—if I wanted to take over the family company, I needed to get married.

Within the next six months.

He thought he had me right where he wanted me…that I’d marry one of his lackeys. A man who’d keep me in line with Dad’s vision for both me and Parker Industries.

Well, dear old Dad had another thing coming. I was no pushover, bowing to the whims of him or any man. I had a plan. And that plan’s name was Ryder Perry.

Ryder

Red River, Texas was worse than I thought it was going to be when I moved here with my brothers to renovate the old ranch home we inherited from a distant relative. Mosquitos, flies, and the lung-clogging humidity were making me miserable, and that misery was only compounded when a spoiled rotten princess slammed into my truck and had the audacity to blame me.

The next time I saw her, she offered me two things—an apology for her behavior and a million dollars…to marry her.

I thought she was drunk. Or crazy. Or maybe a little bit of both. I wasn’t sure.

But one thing was for sure—my time in Red River just got a lot more interesting.

This is a standalone romance with lots of spice and snarky humor. It is book one in a series of standalones featuring four hot brothers finding love in a small town. HEA guaranteed!

Good Story!

Annabelle and Ryder

I think the narrators did a good job. I enjoyed listening to their story. This was a cute, sweet, sexy hot story. Annabelle meets Ryder when she hits his truck. Then later sees him at a bar and propositions him to enter into a fake marriage. Loved it the interaction between the two and his brothers makes the story interesting. Throw in a conniving father makes the story entertaining.

Ryder and Annabelle...

It Started With a Bang is the first book in the Red River Romps series. It is a small town, marriage of convivence story that will have you hooked from the start. I loved watching Ryder and Annabelle's relationship develop. Their chemistry is off the charts hot. You get all the feels and witty humor throughout. This was an amazing start to a new series.

Melissa Green and Jarman Day did a great job with this story and these characters.

Great Characters!

Annabelle and Ryder both make quick assumptions when they meet with a bang. Annabelle is strong and appears to have everything anyone could ever need. Annabelle's father is a sexist uncaring individual who plays a big role in their story. Ryder has a great support system with his brother's and nephew. I definitely want to see more of them. Annabelle has the best friend group; a friend who will stand behind your decisions and agree with you at all costs, one who will give you a different perspective if they think you're wrong and one what is a happy medium! Annabelle's one goal was to make a difference in her community and Ryder helps her find a different path to do just that. These two are prefect for each other and I couldn't love them more! Get ready for a great story with characters you'd want to go out for drinks with!

fake marriage

I really enjoyed this story. Belle needs to marry in order for her dad to hand over the family company. She meets Ryder as she literally runs into his truck. Obviously, the first meeting doesn't go well, but she still gets the idea of asking him to marry her. It's definitely a cute, quick pace story.

The narration was really well done. I really enjoyed the narrators.

OK I have to admit this book was so cute. I loved every bit of it, but her dad really got me so mad. I can't stand him and I can't believe he totally backstabbed his own daughter. Such a misogynistic A hole but Ryder n Bell. There's such a cute couple. I just love them. I can't wait to get here the next book. The narrators did such an amazing job. Good job, guys looking forward to the next book. Which one of the Perry brothers is about to fall in love next? I can't wait.
