His Reluctant Cowboy

By: A.D. Ellis

Narrated by: Brad King

Out-and-proud volunteer dance instructor, Reid Alexander, is a California boy accustomed to living in flashy luxury. He is less than thrilled upon inheriting his late grandfather’s South Dakota horse ranch. Yet, he must endure three months of cowboy hell before he can even consider selling the property. As the ranch foreman, Walker Corrigan’s entire life is Pine Ridge. When Reid arrives with cold-hearted plans to sell, Walker endeavors to endear the place to the younger man.

Reid is unprepared for the sudden attachment to Walker, the land, and - unbelievably enough - the horses.

Walker’s long-suffering heart takes an unexpected gallop straight toward Reid. Both men are on-board with exploring their relationship, and Reid discovers ranch ownership is more gratifying than he’d once imagined. But Reid is forced to reconsider his place on the ranch when threats put the property and employees in danger.

Menacing events call Reid’s integrity into question, and he considers saving everyone the hassle and throwing in the reins. But how can he leave when his heart now feels at home on Pine Ridge Ranch and in Walker’s arms?

Reluctant cowboy

Very well written exciting and down to earth a great impression of gay men narrator was excellent

OK Narrations but Not my cup of tea

I am a big fan of M/M romance. In fact, I am actually addicted. There is nothing like reading or listening to a great book about some gorgeous men falling in love with each other.

Now I am not sure if it is because I am listening to this book but I am finding it difficult to get past the first few chapters. This is just my opinion but I found the character Reed to be so annoying that I just don't even care what else is happening in the story. I am sure it gets better towards the end but unfortunately, this book did not appeal to me.

The narrator was pretty decent and I don't think I will have any issues listening to anything else he narrates. His performance of the different characters was interesting. Other than that I am not a fan of this story. That is not to say that it didn't get better or may not appeal to someone else. I just have limited tolerance for brattiness in a character.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

sweet

A sweet, drama filled cowboy romance you won't want to miss. This is a well written and narrated book.

Loved it

I loved this book when I read it and I loved it just as much if not more on audio.

It’s cute enough to recommend

Probably not the best book and definitely easier to listen than to read it. It’s a short book so I wasn’t expecting a whole lot. I tend to prefer when the romance is dragged out a bit and everything just seems to go by so quick. Initially, Reid’s stay was supposed to be about 3 months but it almost feels as if everything went down just short of two months with them already declaring their love for each other. Aside from that, I wish the characters emotions fell flat. It definitely gets steamy if you’re into that.

Overall, I enjoyed the story but it could have been so much better.
