The CEO Bested by the Cowgirl

I read/listen to a wide variety of books, for different reasons and moods. I truly enjoyed this addition to the Lone Star Burn series by Ruth Cardello. I loved the glimpse of Melanie I go in the first book, she's feisty, loyal, and witty. A single mother who loves her son fiercely and has made some choices that drove those who cared about her out of her life. Enter Charles Dery, who she met briefly when he came to drag his sister from a Texas horse ranch. Instant chemistry sets them ablaze but lifestyle and distance slow their exploration.
When Melanie decides to tell her son's father Jace exists, she heads to NYC and headlong into Charles. Twists, turns, angst, and passion exist along their journey. Plagued by the same family loss his sister was, Charles has cut people from his life and focused on business. But he finds his mind wanders to the the Texas hothead that doused him with lemonade. The couple has their issues but the sex scenes are explosive. The female narrator does an excellent job bringing the characters to life, they jump of the page with her interpretation. I loved the story and look forward to reading more by Ms. Cardello.

Awesome Series!

Any additional comments?

This is an awesome series; this is the second book in The Lone Star series and was written by Ruth Cardello and narrated by Marian Harris. Melanie Hanna is traveling to New York to tell an old flame that he is the father of her young son. Charles Dery’s sister asks him to look over and protect her friend Melanie while she is in New York. Charles tries to deny his attraction to Melanie, but when she is almost killed he will do anything to protect her.

The narrator Marian Harris, did a wonderful job, and was very easy to listen too. I have listened to several books by this narrator and have loved every one, and I am looking forward to listening to more books by her. She did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

This book has a great story; if you are looking for a great romance with some humor, then you need to get this book. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Emotional and good

I liked this story, it had good characters and a storyline that was building nicely to a happy ending
Characters is well written and realistic, I especially liked that Melanie was a single mother.

Narrator:
Clear pronunciation and read with feelings, only thing missing is a male voice

Good 4 stars overall

Just awful performance.

Could not even get through this audible the performance was so horrible. Good grief have you never actually heard a Texan speak??? It may be a great book but I will never know. The reader just ruined it.

Must read

I enjoyed this book very much. It was well written and the characters worked well together.

country girl make the city tame for some

This was fun and sad and special. We met both Charley and Melanie in book one of this series. She was the no nonsense housekeeper for Tony. Charles was the sister of Sarah and a tycoon in the NYC. The met by chance. The attraction was there from the start. Going to right a wrong/oversight. Melanie finds herself on his turf in New York. She also finds that their attraction was still burning bright. These two unlikely to fall for each other find they have common ground.

We meet new characters and find funny things happen no matter where you are. We see the pain and sorrow of what the heart wants and he mind cannot withstand. We see that sometimes love and determination are friends and things can end in a good way.

The narration was a complement to the story. You find the cadence smooth and the audio clear and clean.

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.
