Riding Hard

Bennett Boys Ranch, Book 2

De: Lauren Landish

Narrado por: Melissa Moran, Jacob Morgan

A city girl reins in the cowboy of her hottest dreams in Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Lauren Landish's wild romance.

As the eldest brother, the responsibility for the family ranch now rests on Mark Bennett’s broad shoulders. He wouldn’t have it any other way - he loves being in charge. Working hard on the land helps him stay focused and keeps him from noticing what’s missing in his life - what he’ll never allow himself to have for fear that one small taste will break his careful control.

But a sweet blue-eyed blonde has just arrived in town, and the attraction between them is undeniably hot. So Mark tightens the reins around his heart - how can he tell her what he really wants?

Events planner Katelyn Johnson’s new gig is the wedding of a rodeo superstar. Right now, it’s tough not to focus on the rider’s tempting older brother. So far, getting beneath Mark’s gorgeously gruff exterior has been a pleasure.

What she needs to do is go a little deeper. But the closer they get, the more Mark pulls away. Katelyn’s not afraid of a challenge, though. Whatever deep desires he’s hiding, she wants in on his secrets.

All she has to do is get past his legendary reserve. With all her body, heart, and soul, there’s nothing she can’t handle.

One Tough City Girl

The Bennett Boys...*swoon*
There's really just no going wrong with a book that features one of these cowboys. Even if he is going to fall in love with a silly city girl. But sweet cast iron skillets, this is no simple city girl. Katelyn is strong and determined, and she's not going to let the demons a man's been fighting most of his adult life stand in the way. Katelyn and Mark had some serious hills to climb. But Katelyn was more than willing to do whatever it took to make Mark Bennett hers.

I love the prose Lauren Landish uses to describe the way her lovers show their affection for each other in all forms. The way everyone around them knows just how very much in love they are, like they have cartoony heart eyes or something, LOL. It's the way I think every woman wants to be looked at by the man she loves, to know she's completely cherished above all others, and always will be.

As for Mark and Katelyn--their story is awesome. Full of strength, rugged determination, and heart. Just like them.

Sweet cowboy story

This is so much better than book 1.

I loved Kaitlyn and Mark’s story.

This is Mark’s sort . The first Bennett boy who we met in book one as a big, handsome broody hardworking man who had the world on his shoulders. Mark was hurt as a young boy and held on to that hurt until he met Kaitlyn who turned his world upside down and accepted the thing he thought would push all women away… in my opinion it wasn’t that bad but I guess I get how a young boy would be scared… Until Kaitlyn pulls it out and accepts him.

I really appreciated a heroine that wasn’t looking for drama, looking to fight with the Hero because of some silly thing to elongate the book or whatever… I was getting tired, especially of the monologues I’m this genre… Lauren Landish, new to me, wrote about Kaitlyn in almost realistic way, like I know a Kaitlyn 😃 and Mark? Amazing! I truly enjoyed these characters that were brought to life by Jacob Morgan and Melissa Moran.

Now, there’s mature themes in this book, delicious ones… some people gave the first book a bad review because of it and that was precisely why I bought the book (while there was mature theme, it wasn’t too much as she eluded 🙄 I wish people like that would skip books with “mature themes”)

So, if spice in a book may offend your sensibilities, skip this book… for the folks who enjoy… do not skip this… while the spice meter is not on blast it still is there and a beautiful story of discovery.
Enjoy!

Narration was stellar, anything Jacob Morgan does is amazing and as Mark Bennett? He was perfection. Melissa Moran was a great narrator as well…

Kinky romantics

I loved everything about this book. Thus far, Mark is my favorite brother. He is a man who is scared to show a woman his true self, until this new breath of fresh air comes to town. What is a cowboy to do, but claim her some how. Awesome story with amazing narration.

Loved every minute

Great story. Loved the characters and the openness this story shared with us. Will read/listen to this again and again

Another great listen

These are good fun listens. I really enjoyed the way the romance developed and how strong the h was. Some people may be put off by the sexual dynamic which was a bit BDSM without the rules that normally surround it. But this is a novel and it worked for the characters, both of whom were stronger, healthier and more happy at the end. The narrators were great, I already loved Jacob Morgan, but now I love Melissa Moran as well. I listened to this for free via audible escape. The next book is not in this programme (read and listen for free). I will certainly read it if I don't purchase the audio book.

Riding hard 3.8 stars

. Although it is a shalow book I enjoyed the riding. I enjoyed the stoeyline and the pace. sweet reading. I loved the narration.

Oh Mark....

....how I wish your dark desires didn't haunt you and keep you so closed off. I just loved him. I liked how she took no crap from him. Two different people filling the empty voids in each other.

Hot.....

If you are looking for a bold and steamy romance. stop scrolling and read or listen.

Just wow!!!

Ok so wow!! Yes lol this story was amazing. Mark the ice cold oldest brother who has no choice but to warm to Katelyn who is a strong amazing girl who not taking no for an answer. The chemistry between these two is amazing and all consuming and a must witness for sure.
