Rocky Mountain Devil

Six Pack Ranch, Book 10

By: VIvian Arend

Narrated by: Tatiana Sokolov

Raphael (Angel) Coleman has loved Laurel Sitko for as long as he can remember. The rancher’s son and the preacher’s daughter—two opposites who somehow always fit. Their friendship got him through the hardest parts of growing up, but now that she’s back in Rocky Mountain House, Rafe’s done pretending friendship is enough.

After years away, Laurel’s ready to come home and build a new future. Rafe’s steady presence and teasing smile feel like safety and temptation all at once. But her return brings more than small-town gossip—her ex isn’t ready to let go, and Rafe’s protective instincts are burning hotter than ever.

When laughter turns to longing and friendship gives way to passion, Rafe and Laurel will have to face the hardest truth: even the deepest love can be tested by loss. But if they can hold on, forever might just be waiting on the other side.

A small-town, friends-to-lovers, preacher’s-daughter romance full of devotion, heartbreak, and the kind of love that refuses to give up.

Good narration

AUDIBLE
Good narration and enjoyable story.
Overly slightly religious tones for me but still enjoyable, with a lot of things happening and secrets being shared and revealed.
Jesse finally admits why he has been acting as he has. Quite eye opening.
Felt sad for Rafe, as once he finally let his dad have both barrels after his saying some truly disgusting things, it’s the night he dies. Nothing to do with what Rafe said. But he will always feel the weight of those last moments.
I just wish Lauren had punched Paul when he wouldn’t back off.
I was kindly gifted this audible book by the author.
BOOK REVIEW
Once again a wonderful read in this series.
Laurel and Rafe have been kindred spirits since kindergarten, getting into trouble but with a fun side.
They go their different ways as young adults when Laurel goes off to do missionary work and bible college but promise to see what is between them when Laurel comes back to town in a few years.
Whilst there is a religious background it is subtle and enjoyable and dies not detract from the story.
I really enjoyed the interaction and support system these two have going on. It gets sorely tested but strengthens as good relationships do.
We get some time with other Colemans and find out why Jesse is being an a**e as well as go in a new direction with a death in the family. Sorry to say it was no upset, probably a relief for everyone.
This is my honest review of this book.

Great read! Loved Rafe and Laurel’s story!

I absolutely loved this one! It pulled me in from beginning to end and really held my attention the entire time. I loved getting to see these two come back together and the little glimpses we got at the beginning of them as kids/growing up as best friends and when things started to change. I loved how they supported and took care of each other the entire time while also being able to push in just the right way. Even with things changing from just the best friends and the one night of more before Laurel left for school, they have such a strong foundation due to their friendship that not much rocks them. I love how they handle and deal with each other through the hard times that are popping up around them. This story was a great read and I absolutely adored it! I can't wait for the next one and am definitely hoping that Jesse's story is coming soon.
The narrator did a fantastic job with this one and brought the characters and story to life.

an enjoyable listen

Childhood best friends to lovers, small town romance, big family.

I love this book. It followed along the right path with the others in the series. I highly recommend this while seriesw. The Coleman Family is a wonder to be a part of.

Stunning

Amazing loved Raphael as a character and Laurel was a great addition to the family. You get lots of excitement in this story when her ex shows up but again family is family and they take care of each other. Can’t wait to listen to Jesse’s story.

love it

I am just loving this series about the cowboys and the women they love. there's danger, romance
and a family that surrounds them.
Tatiana Sokolov narration is very good.

wonderful

wow this book was a tough one it should come with a warning kleenex needed. Vivian is awesome I love how she helps with everyday issues and makes them great. how to be understanding and not judgemental. this a great story absolutely loved it and I love the Coleman clan. makes you never want to put it down.

Enjoyable story!

This is a romance infused with a fair amount of angst, heavy on family dysfunction, personal pain, and eventual acceptance and love. This is Rafe and Laurel's story that began in kindergarten and, with a separation of 3 years of Laurel on a college mission trip, they come back together with the understanding that if they are both single, they'll take their friendship to the next level. I really like the characters who were complex and multi-layered, and the situation with Ben was a heartbreaker. The man they call father is a miserable, angry man who can't control his emotions nor his frequent lashing out at his kids and his wife. There's nothing good that can come out of their toxic relationship. The appearance of Laurel's ex from college is intended to cause a little trouble between her and Rafe, but he serves to make me cringe with his judgmental and attitude of superiority toward everyone but Pastor Dave. When the tragedy that occurs, Rafe suffers a crisis that makes him feel an overload of guilt. Even though it's not his fault, his inner demons in relation to the victim causes him to make some very bad decisions. I had to question his character, but I can't judge. At least he pulled himself together and was there for Laurel. The story was bittersweet, but it worked out as it should. There is a sense of relief that flows through the entire family. There is one plotline that I didn't follow, or at least it felt like it may have been revealed in one of the previous books, is the story of Jesse. My jaw hit the floor and I hope we get his story pronto! Tatiana Sokolov is a wonderful narrator. Her dynamic voice, clear articulation and perfect pace make this story highly enjoyable. 

Enjoyable Romance

This was an enjoyable small town romance with the angst and spice. I started with book 10 and based on how i enjoyed it i think I’ll go back and start with book 1.

Outstanding

This is a book that has the ability to draw you into
the pages and keep you there.
At times it sweet and steamy and other times it is
quite emotional.
There characters have great chemistry and depth to them.
The narrator like usual has done a brilliant job of bringing
the alive .
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audio book.
