Taming the Heart

Crimson Ridge, Book 3

De: Elliott Rose

Narrado por: Gabriel Spires, Amy Hall

In this steamy, age-gap, forbidden-love cowboy romance for fans of Lyla Sage, Bailey Hannah, and Elsie Silver, a free spirit finds herself working for a former pro bull rider...who has secrets behind those ocean-deep eyes.

Being hired by a ranch for the summer sounds picture-perfect, right? Except your new boss looks a whole lot like every fantasy and daydream you've ever had come to life—oh, and he's already accidentally seen your favorite "toy."

I've always been the hyper-independent free spirit. Sage Maloney, the wild child. The eldest daughter, with my heart locked away safely out of sight. I had a summer of fun ahead of me.

Only, I didn't count on a former pro bull rider to stride into my life. Beau Heartford. The much older cowboy with a mustache to go weak at the knees for.

He's a whole package of temptation. Someone who lures me in with glimpses of what it might be like to let my guard down, to be taken care of.

My married boss.

Summer days rapidly turn scorching in this sleepy little town among the mountains. As the temperature continues to climb, we're both stuck fighting a mutual attraction we can't ignore.

Sparks fly, and we really should be putting more distance between the two of us. In this scenario, more is at stake than just crossing a line between boss and employee. There's a wedding band on this cowboy's finger.

Taming the Heart is book three in the Crimson Ridge series of interconnected standalones. It can be listened to on its own. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Another hot read about Crimson Ridge

Hot hot hot! Great story and narration is awesome! Gabriel Spires voice is so good!

Taming the heat

Omg so worth the read and listen oh the heat and love story is worth it

Holy hotness!

Elliot Rose has done it again! She is definitely the type of author that if she writes it, I will read it and enjoy it.
The combination of humor, spice, sweetness, and angst is always perfection imo. This is the 4th book I’ve read of hers, but the first I’ve listened to. Trust that I will be listening to the others very shortly lol.
This is also the first time listening to Gabriel and Amy, and they are definitely going on the favorites list! A lot of narrators sound great but miss a lot of the inflection and feelings, but these two (especially Gabriel with the extra sounds he makes, spicy and benign lol) really bring the story to life. 10/10!!!

This series has my heart!!

I truly love this series. All the couples have such good chemistry together, and there is enough angst that it makes me wanna scream but, it also makes me cry when everything works out.

I love our kinky girl Sage, she deserves this. And broody Beau has my heart (haha get it?). I love when a man is absolutely obsessed with his girl, and Beau definitely is.

Yeah I cried at the end so what

Beau and Sage

Ride that ‘stache! This book is hot, like steamy, boiling over hot. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
And yes, Beau is married for most of this book. BUT it is far from a good marriage, and the poor man is just being dragged around by the wife - literally the worst. And then there is Sage, who does not want to get into anything with a married man. Yet, the love runs so deep for these two. There is time, effort, and pure care that goes into the fostering of a relationship. After everything that happened to Beau, I just wanted him to be happy! And Sage is that happiness. Elliott Rose takes these forbidden romances to the next level with each and every book. We are not worthy!!
