Burn the Breeze

Thornbrush Ranch, Book 2

By: June Lark

Narrated by: Lucy Rivers, Stephen Borne

She's a barrel racer on the road to win the circuit finals and he's the ranch hand she hates.

Lina Larsen used to believe in love at first sight. That is, until a one-night stand went terribly wrong. What makes it worse, he's now working on her family ranch, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't seem to get rid of him.

Reed Ownstead thought he was getting back at his ex-wife when he brought the spitfire barrel racer home, only to discover he was way over his head. When his ex and daughter move to Willows, he decides to follow and get a job at Thornbrush Ranch, only to find it was the home of the rodeo star he wronged.

Now with a stalker following Lina on the rodeo circuit, vandals terrorizing the ranch, and Reed needing to take custody of his daughter, they have no choice but to be forced together. Stuck in a trailer on the road, temptation quickly becomes a whole lot stronger than hate.

When it turns out that land and lives are at stake back home, Lina must face the biggest race of her life—to save those she loves most or watch it all go up in smoke.

This is Book Two in the Thornburn Ranch series.

Spicy suspense

A spicy suspense I couldn’t put down. Man did this book have heat. The connection between Reed and Lina was amazing to see. Penelope was absolutely adorable! I loved how Lina and Reed first met. It was funny and kind of embarrassing at the same time. Their back and forth with each other was cute in that “I hate you but don’t hate you” kind of way. The suspense definitely kept me guessing. I honestly didn’t know what was going to happen. I enjoyed that there was no third act breakup. I’m dying to know what happens in the next book.
