Racing Hearts: Bennett Boys Ranch

A tomboy tames the cocky cowboy next door in Wall Street Journal and Washington Post best-selling author Lauren Landish’s forbidden romance.

Luke is damn near invisible, or at least that’s how he usually feels. He takes care of things around the ranch before his boss-brother even knows there’s a problem, and no one even notices when he's done. But when he finds Shayanne sitting in a tree on his property, that all changes. She sees him and doesn’t seem to mind his gruff cowboy ways and dirty jokes that tease and test them both.

Shayanne is a tomboy cowgirl down to her boots, and a damn adult, regardless of whether her father and brothers agree. She escapes their smothering love and expectations to the furthest pasture and finds...Luke. And though their families have a rivalry worthy of the Hatfields and McCoys, she wants him. She wants him to take her and make her his woman, because in her heart, she already is.

Can Luke mediate the long-standing anger between the two families to get his girl, and can Shayanne finally be an adult in her family’s eyes, able to choose a future with a man they don’t want her to have?

Love!!!

Love the Bennett Boys, this is an amazing series once you start you can't stop!

Loved it!

This is the best in the whole Bennett Boys series. Sweet love story, believable plot, honest family issues, steamy sex scenes, and at times really funny! It was a really nice finish to the whole series too

Was there so much sex or unrealistic sex that you rolled your eyes and/or skipped forward? Close

The back story... The MCs families have been politely feuding for the past 15 or so years. The H comes back from a trip, sees the h, realizes that she is all grown up and has the hots for her.

The Romance... Builds up from a lusty relationship to an emotional relationship.

The drama explosion... Bad guys create issues.
Did it feel real or contrived? Contrived but ok
Was it OTT? Yes. Especially between the brothers
Separation involved? No
Was it resolved properly or rushed? Properly

Final Notes... Really good story. It lost 0.5 Stars after the H helps the h's family in a huge way and one of her brothers gets pissy and attacks him. That was just too far OTT.
