Publisher's summary

Everything's bigger in Big Sky country, including the hearts of the Montana Men.

After years on the rodeo circuit, Gabe Bowden wants nothing more than land of his own and a woman who will claim his heart for more than one night. When he has the chance to buy the enormous Wolf Ranch spread, he snaps up the incredible deal. Everything is set until Gabe rescues a woman on the deserted, snowy road leading to the property, and the half-frozen beauty changes everything.

Ella Wolf rushes to her family's abandoned Montana ranch after her twin sister is murdered. She knows she's next--unless she can uncover a secret hidden somewhere at Wolf Ranch. The last thing Ella expects is to be rescued by a rugged rancher with his own agenda. A man who almost makes her forget how dangerous love can be....

As an unlikely partnership sparks into something so much more, and a killer closes in, can Ella and Gabe learn to trust one another before it's too late?

Inappropriate

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I was thoroughly disappointed in this book. I wish books had ratings so we could judge before we buy them and listen to them if they inappropriate parts. This book has pornography in it and unless you buy it you don't know that.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I think that the book could have been a good read if it didn't have inappropriate and sexual parts in it. We need ratings for books like we do movies, or at least reviews that tell people what type of reading material we are buying so we know what we are getting!!!

Cowboy rescue

This will melt your heart with the cowboy rescuing the girl again. Scary but exciting story. Once again narration is great.

Wonderful Heartfelt Story!

Loved this touching story of a City Girl who loses her twin but true love helps her convict the killer which settles many family mysteries. Don't get me wrong, it's a very good romance.

Disagree with reviewer Kent

Pretty good story. Disagree with reviewer Kent. There is no filth, no disgusting language, and the "F" word was hardly used at all. There were very few sex scenes and they were not at all explicit. The narrator was not my favorite, but not too bad.

Recommended

An excellent start to what looks like a good series. Good characterization and setting. Did get a bit sappy toward the end tho.

Enough already

I have never written a bad review about a book but I just had to with this one. The overall story is good and Coleen Marlo did an okay performance but the book should have really been called "My dead sister" because that's ALL you hear about. It was so bad that I literally found myself ignoring the book once I heard "dead sister" "sister's cold lifeless body" "Sister's dead body" because it was that frequent in nature. It's even interjected into the story randomly and it places where it doesn't make sense, almost like we are being force fed the same material over and over again. The book would have been outstanding had the author put more effort into not using the dead sister as continuous page filler.

Harlequin Romance

If you like Harlequin Romance you will like this book. The narrator voice is very annoying and i had a hard time finishing the book because of her. This is far from a mystery more like a cheesy love story.

Could not stop listening

This book had just the right amount of mystery, romance, and suspense. I couldn't stop listening!

Hard pass...

Struggled to finish. Narrator sounds like Moira on Schitt's Creek. Sex scenes are nauseating. The story line had so much potential but every second sentence was a cliche.

Annoying narrator

The story wasn't bad...maybe a little cheesy, but the narrator was fairly annoying. I just really disliked the way she talked, like how she always pronounced "family" more like "fah-mly" and things like that. I didn't hate her so bad I couldn't finish, but I'll avoid listening to anything she narrates in the future.
