Lonesome Ridge

Rustler Mountain, Book 3

De: Maisey Yates

Narrado por: Jennifer Mack

Tourists may flock to Rustler Mountain, Oregon, for its Wild West reenactments, but for locals, the feuds between the outlaws and the lawmen are still very much alive in this swoon-inducing contemporary western series from New York Times bestselling author Maisey Yates—ideal for fans of Lyla Sage, Elsie Silver, Jennifer Ryan, and Robyn Carr.

Good guys and bad guys … myth and legend … gold and ranching. That’s what historic Rustler Mountain, Oregon, is made of, complete with feuding families descended from outlaws and lawmen. A century later, their grudges still hold—but for a new generation, when opposites attract, it might be time to surrender …

From killers to courtesans, the Hancock family has what might be called an eclectic history. But they’ve managed to leverage it into something respectable, creating the popular Hancock Wild West Show. The event features reenactments and trick riding—the latter performed by clever, charismatic Jessie Jane Hancock.

Jessie is usually unflappable, but lately something’s needling her—and it’s not just her annoying attraction to exasperatingly sexy Flynn Wilder—whose great, great, great, great, great-grandfather was betrayed by Jessie’s just-as-many-times-great-grandfather. It’s the upcoming mayoral election. Specifically, the unopposed candidate: Danielle LeFevre, mean girl, all-around awful person, and Flynn’s not-so-beloved half-sister. Jessie wants to keep Danielle from winning … and the only person who bothers Flynn more than she does is Danielle.

“I want you to be my first man.” Jessie Jane is hot enough to make him hallucinate, but her request is very real. Jessie wants to run for mayor, and she wants him by her side, as her fake boyfriend. A Hancock engaged to a Wilder. An outsider against the status quo. A drama their town will devour. Flynn always knew Jessie was a wild card, but bringing down his corrupt stepfamily is a temptation he can’t resist. Just like the vexing spark between him and Jessie. And once that fire catches, the real showdown begins …

Perfect small town romance!

This was such a fun, quick read! It was my first read by Maisey Yates, I absolutely loved her writing style and am officially a fan. Even though this is the third book in the series, it worked perfectly as a standalone. I can’t wait to go back and check out the rest of the series!

The story is packed with some of my favorite tropes… enemies to lovers, fake dating, a family feud, and a delicious slow burn all set in a charming small town. Combining the ebook and audiobook made for a truly immersive experience that really brought the characters to life. It was emotional, engaging, and a fantastic read!

Disappointed

I have listened to most of Maisey Yates books on Audible. I didn’t like this one. I’m not sure why she used God‘s name in vain in this book, it wasn’t necessary. It just ruined the book for me. The story was good though.
