Publisher's summary

El Diablo strikes no fear in the heart of Dusty O'Donovan. The accomplished rider knows life holds much greater fears than a feisty stud bull. Diablo's owner, Zach McCray, is offering half a million dollars to anyone who can stay on him for a full eight seconds. That purse would go a long way helping rebuild Dusty and her brother's nearly bankrupt ranch.

Let a woman ride his bull? Not likely. Still, the headstrong Dusty intrigues Zach. Her father worked on the McCray ranch years ago, and Zach remembers her as a little girl when he was a cocky teen. Times change, and now she's a beautiful and desirable young woman. A few passionate kisses leave Zach wanting more, but will Dusty's secrets tear them apart?

Decent but...

The narrator sounds like a high schooler instead of an adult. This takes away from the character’s strength (both female and male.)
The story however is good.

Narrator rather ruined it

Unfortunately Kendall Taylor’s voice sounds like a little girl’s voice in timbre & in cadence. Her words and sentences sound stilted and her inflection sounds like she’s reading from a grade school primer. Rather disturbing when the subject is hot sex:/. Also mispronounced several words... is that her fault or an editors? Love Helen Hardt but will READ my own from now on if the audible version is narrated by Kendall... sorry Kendall!

Sigh, the narrator blew it for me.

The should have sprung for a male and woman narrator. The woman played both parts and was nasally.

Good story!

This audiobook was entertaining and realistic. The story is about a girl who comes back to her hometown after years away to compete in a national rodeo with her brother. Once they are there, they meet up with old friends they left behind. The sexy man who catches her eye is the boy who picked on her when she was little. There starts a romance and a secret she's keeping that will almost keep them apart forever. I don't want to spoil the story, but I do recommend this book.

Tempting Dusty

I think this is my favorite Helen Hardt book, though I love the Steele brothers saga and can't wait for the next book. This story was sexy and romantic, tender and sweet. The narrator's sweet voice made the characters even more endearing

So bad I returned it

Seriously? She knows she can connect with a bull because it needs love and respect like all creatures so she sings it a lullaby? I could not get past that stupid story line to enjoy the romance, which also wasn't that great.

Not a bad read

Quite a good story but there’s too much repetitive sex for my taste. Each to their own.

LOVED! 💖LOVED!💖 LOVED IT!💖

This was my first time listen of a book by this talented author Helen Hardt! I could not put it down, so was up to 2:30 am!
I found it through following one of my very favourite narrator's, Kendall Taylor. She flawlessly navigates between genders and ages to deliver the stories with passion, humour & compassion.
I am looking forward to the rest of this series.
ENJOY!👱‍♀️😃🙏🏻💞📚👏👌⚘️

Very predictable

Quick simple “romance “ Slightly corny and extremely predictable, I think that’s why I continued with this book. To see if it’s really this predictable. Author Recommended by friends after steel sequel, each to their own.

wonderful story

Loved this story couldn't put it down, I felt part of the characters journey of finding true love. The story was full of emotion I suggest having a box of tissues handy towards the end.

nice story....

I started the steel brothers series but had to stop when they changed
the male narrator...I couldn't handle the voice..which I'm sorry about as I think that series is awesome. this book is light reading and unfortunately I'm too used to male/female narrator's that a single voice doesn't grab me anymore.
I go with authors that I've read previously but get caught out with a book that's not as good as what they've written before. I liked this story although 'darlin' was used that many times I could have screamed.
if you like Ms Hardt, country, fairytale, instalove and single voice narrators then this is for you
