Publisher's Summary

Sadie Higgins has a bad habit of bailing her brother out of trouble. But when he rustles a herd of cattle from the tough, honorable Kendrick brothers, it's Sadie who's in for it. Because the cowboy tracking them down is big, silent, and forbidding as hell.

Rory Kendrick is on the hunt to find out who's been stealing from him. When he stumbles upon Sadie in the woods, he barely recognizes the quiet, vulnerable beauty who has always taken his breath away. His mission shifts in an instant: He will do anything it takes to keep her safe...and make her his.

Sadie has always protected her family - no matter the price. But when Rory ropes her heart, she's forced to take a look at her life and make a dangerous choice, one that could cost - or gain - her everything.

not impressed

the story starts out good for several chapters. Then the writing was like many others wrote the sex parts. The romance without the sex was ok. I got the feeling the reader as well as the writer was not comfortable. The sex parts were truly unnecessary to the story. Also how can people have sex , she miss her period and be pregnant all in less than a couple weeks. It might of even been a week. The timing was so off in the story because of that.

Better have a Sweet Tooth!

I hope you like tons of sugar with a side of cheese because this book is nothing but cliche. The only thing original and exciting is the 1st chapter, after that the writing is dull, very repetitive and no real plot twists. The reader over pronounces and reads quickly which makes for a painful listen.

Sadie and Rory. Can he keep her from harm

The first time Rory saw Sadie she was nearly frozen, stabbed and barbwired to a tree. He frees her and gets her hospitalized. He spends hours with her as she recuperates. His cattle are being stolen, and her brother and the cruel man who wired her to the tree are involved. Characters are well drawn. Narrator does a fine job.

Cowboy themed and Meth Addiction World

This was an interesting surprise. The story brings out the family anguish and destruction of drug addiction. No fluff. A love story also. The relationships are believable in rural Montana ranch life.

Too cliche.

Too cliche, poor character development. Only "stone cold cowboy" is the bad guy. Our protagonist is pussy-whipped from go.

Good listen

good listen the author keeps the plot going until the finish of the story will listen again.

Stiff Cowboy gets the girl

He seems cold, distant, that is until he finds a woman strung up in a tree barely alive then the cold cowboy becomes the ever primitive bear. This intense story was amazing, so pumped me up for more of the brothers and expanding the family that Grandpa Sammy is wishing for. Love it.

love

great story line character's and read well hope to read more enjoyed couldn't put it down

Decent book

Decent story over all. A little too much violence for me when I was expecting a country love story. The narrator started out ok but as the book went on, I had to make myself finish listening just to get the rest of the story. The narrator did not have a country accent, not even American, and talked in a "breathy, sexy" voice throughout the whole book. Totally incongruent to most of the content.

Boring

This is the least enjoyable book l have listened. The readers males voices are hard to listen to.
