Running Wild

The Men from Battle Ridge

De: Linda Howard, Linda Jones

Narrado por: Maggie Wheeler

In book 1 of this steamy new contemporary Western romance series by two blockbuster authors, a cowboy and a woman on the run take a stand and fight for love.

Carlin Reed lives in fear, off the grid, moving from place to place. So Battle Ridge, Wyoming, a small town in the middle of nowhere, seems like a good place to lie low for a while. But after becoming cook and housekeeper to cattle rancher Zeke Decker, Carlin suspects that she’s made her first mistake. Rugged, sexy, and too distracting for his own good, Zeke is pure temptation mixed with something deep and primal that makes Carlin feel almost safe. Soon things are getting way too hot in the kitchen.

Zeke doesn’t challenge Carlin’s terms: cash, dead bolts, and no questions. It is easy to see that she’s a woman in trouble. Problem is, he’s so blindsided by his attraction to her he can’t think straight. Zeke tries to stay all business, no complications—but that game plan is sabotaged the second Carlin gets under his skin. And when her terrifying past follows her to the ranch, Carlin faces a heartbreaking choice: run away from the man she loves, or put him in the crosshairs of a madman.

Another winner

Linda Howard has a way of pulling laughs out of the most serious plot. She has been my favorite author for years.

carlin is a woman on the run yet she cannot curb her natural tendency to be sassy and smart mouthed. The characters are likable and real and the story line believable. The performance could not have been better. Narrators can make or break a book. Maggie wheeler nailed the Carlin. She's narrated this book so well that I would by an unknown author were she on the credits. Well done to the writer and the narrator!!! A big thumbs up!

Just ok

Just ok.for me you figure with two writers you would get something different than the same girl and boy with instance like with obstacles in their way and you have half the book dedicated to their thoughts..ole" I ff more than half the story to get to the meat of book try at your own risk I enjoy the 2nd part of the book would not pay 27 bucks for it.

A Romance for Foodies

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a long slow romance that savors the 'build' of a relationship and delivers a 'bang' of suspense.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Running Wild?

When the heroine was faced with feeding 12 hungry men in 2 hours with little experience.

What about Maggie Wheeler’s performance did you like?

She performed the book well. I thought her accent was charming.

Any additional comments?

An enjoyable suspense romance that would appeal to people who like to think about food. The ending was different from the formula one I thought they would come up with, so it was a nice surprise.
