Rocky Mountain Shelter

Six Pack Ranch, Book 9

By: Vivian Arend

Narrated by: Tatiana Sokolov

Trevor Coleman’s used to keeping things simple—family, work, and the occasional good time. But when a dark-haired stranger literally falls into his arms, everything changes. Becky Hall stirs every protective instinct he has, and the more he learns about her, the more determined he becomes to keep her safe.

Becky’s starting over with nothing but her courage and a new name. Escaping her past wasn’t easy, but finding kindness—and the gentle strength of one rugged cowboy—makes her believe a new life might actually be possible. With Trevor’s help, she’s learning to trust again, to laugh, and to rediscover what passion really feels like.

But the past doesn’t stay buried forever. And when danger closes in, Trevor will have to fight harder than ever to protect the woman who’s already claimed his heart.

A small-town, protector romance about healing, redemption, and the kind of love strong enough to weather any storm.

wow

this is a great book with alot of things going on. I love how she made it that stranger never knows how they can help someone. I love the faith and family dynamic. I love how she makes a issue that is very common anymore and her view how to fix it. Vivian is awesome and I absolutely love this series can't wait for the next one.

audio issues

There are a number of audio issues in this book. otherwise the story and performance are outstanding.

Moonshine Girl

This is one of my favorites in the Six Pack Ranch series. The love, patience, and kindness displayed is fantastic! Add in the silliness and you can't go wrong.

I love how Rebecca "Becky" Hall crashes into Trevor Coleman's life. I also love how he calls her Rodeo.

Things have definitely not be easy for Becky, but crossing paths with a Coleman was the first step to better things. It's a bit heartbreaking to learn what she escaped, but watching Trevor navigate that made him my favorite Coleman.

The friendships and general comradery between the extended family members, Uncle Ben excluded, continues to be inspiring. I love how they all receive Becky into the group and look out for her and show her new, fun experiences.

The moments of fun craziness help keep things on the lighter side, even while properly acknowledging the long-term impacts of what Becky went through. Things like Trevor getting advice from Travis or Trevor's determination to prove the insurance company wrong had me laughing aloud.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator continues to be Tatiana Sokolov. She's a really good narrator, very enjoyable to listen to.

Absolutely loved this one!

I absolutely adored this one! It really pulled me in from beginning to end with Becky and Trevor. I loved them together. This one definitely pulls on the heartstrings as Becky has been through hell but she is still so sweet and kind. I loved the way she found her feet in this story. Trevor was perfect for her. His humor and ability to have fun was really what Becky needed. He could and did handle the seriousness but he also gave some lightheartedness into that which allowed it to not be too overwhelming for Becky. These two just fit and worked together so well because he was exactly what she needed to make her feel safe and bring her out of her shell. I loved how everything went and getting to see Trevor keep his goofy side but also show his more serious, stubborn one at the same time. This story was great and we get a few more secrets of the Coleman variety and I am really excited to see what is coming next in the series. I just absolutely adored this one!
The narrator did a great job with the characters as well. She brought the story to life.

When you love Love

Love the romance between these two. As always love the Coleman family, ranch and town setting. Arend as always writes a small town western romance jewel. Narration is fabulous. Ms Sokolov voices this family well across the books which is a huge positive.

I love this author!

Great book and series. I highly recommend! Wish I could write stories like this. Thanks for these great books!

Sweet couple

Becky - Damsel in distress, running/hiding from past (a polygamist cult)
Trevor - protective and patient friend/boyfriend

small town, big family, great world-building stories with the Coleman clan.

Dont always get what you want but what you need

Becky came from a place and family that is so foreign to Trevor might never truly understand but he don't have to to love her, She in new world so far removed from what she knows but with heart and courage she forges a new life. Together they will learn to get past the "past" move onto the future, how well you have listen to find out!

I love love how this story played out i cant wait for next book,

Sexy and sweet.

I loved Trevor and Becky’s story. She had suffered trauma in her past and he was so patient and understanding about her limits in the bedroom. Any woman would be lucky to have someone like him.

Wow!

I can't say enough good about. this book! From the beginning it grabbed my heartstrings and never let go. Such a nice mix of experience and innocence. Trevor was the very experienced one, while Becky was very innocent even though she grew up in one cult then married into another. She took back control and escaped, almost directly into Trevor's capable arms. We get to see Becky grow into her freedom and enjoy life, with Trevor's guidance. Trevor was so very patient, loving and understanding, right up through the end of the book. An awesome guy who went from being quite a playboy, to loving everything about Becky, even with her very serious intimacy issue. They made their relationship work despite her inability to consummate their union.

One of my favorite parts was Trevor asking cousin Travis for advice, it was good to see a settled Travis. The river tubing was also fun, wish I was there too! I feel as if I knows all the characters so well now, they're very real, making me want to be part of their circle! Haha, no I'm not crazy, I do know they aren't real, but that's how real and likable the families are! Definitely a series worth listening to, then continue with the Thompson family series. same characters you will remember from The Six Pack Ranch books.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did! Just remember, although I tend to focus more on the relationships, there's quite a bit of adult content in this series, if that's a problem for you then these books probably aren't for you.
