Story
Years in the Army equipped Bailey Masterson for many things: target shooting, rappelling off cliffs, dodging grenades. She's lived through horrors that still give her nightmares. But nothing in Bailey's life-or-death training prepared her for caring for the tiny terror that is five-year-old Olivia Hale. Or how to control her raging attraction to Olivia's father, Streeter, the rugged, green-eyed cattle rancher who undermines her every move even when he stars in her dreams.

Story
Growing up with three older brothers, Larissa "Riss" Thorpe defines the term tomboy - a moniker that never mattered to her until she crossed paths with sexy cowboy player Ike Palmer. Seeing him in action on the road, Riss can tell that Ike prefers his women soft-spoken and feminine. And since Riss is obviously not his type, it's unlikely that they'll mix business and pleasure when they're in close quarters together. Former cattle broker Ike Palmer was ready for a new chapter in his life as a stock contractor when he started working with Riss.

Story
Seven years have passed since I fell for Boone West. The brooding bad boy. We were friends, even when I secretly wanted more, but I settled for what he offered. After he left Wyoming - and me - I grew up. Moved on. Or so I believed, until he blew back into my life with the scorching force of an Arizona desert wind. I'm not that innocent 16-year-old girl anymore; I'm a businesswoman who swore never to settle again. But this older, wiser, hotter version of Boone unsettles me. How am I supposed to resist Boone's megawatt smile and his built-army-strong body?

Discovering their age difference doesn’t deter Callie; neither does Justin’s warning that she deserves more than a busted-up former rodeo cowboy.

Awesome Updates!
Would you consider the audio edition of Short Rides to be better than the print version?
Love Lorelei James and Short Rides is an awesome update to the Rough Rider's series! It was awesome to get a look into the lives of the characters. Along with real life problems, the stories kept me focused and really into the series. Another trophy buckle in the series!

SPOILERS Advise You NOT To Listen To Books 1-14
This WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS if you are not familiar with the Rough Riders series. Please do not read any further if you plan on listening to the series. Newly listeners, this will is not the place to start. This trilogy will not give you enough information about the characters past to be understandable to you.
These are three short novellas in one book. We get to check in with the Carson/West Clan and hear a little bit more about their extracurricular activities and any children that they may have had since their introductions.
It is a nice "checking in" with old friends. If you read the series you know their stories & this will only add to your thought about the characters as you have imagined them.
I bought this book in addition to the entire series. Again, it is not a standalone nor is it meant to be one.
Rebecca Estrella continues to be the voice of Rough Riders. She is consistent though a bit robotic when describing the mature themes. I find that listening at 1.25 or 1.5 times (just a little faster) makes the performance better for me to listen to.
Notes: strong language, mature themes for the 18+-year-olds.
Stars: overall 4, performance 3.5, stories 4
I enjoy leaving reviews, as I know that I read them the reviews of others before I purchase a book. If you found my review helpful in your decision about this book, would you please select yes directly below this paragraph? Thank you so much.
Please consider "following me" here on Audible.com. I purchased a lot of books by authors that I am faithful to. I also have the opportunity to review books in all genres, many that I would not pick up on my own. I have been pleasantly surprised by new authors and narrators. Thanks!
Author/Narrators feel free to use this review on social media. I'd appreciate a shout out!
