Restless Rancher by Jennifer Ryan

Restless Rancher (Wild Rose, #2) (The Wild Rose Ranch Series, #2)

by Jennifer Ryan

If you like bad-boy heroes, western settings, and a sexy, sassy heroine you will love Jennifer Ryan's newest Wild Rose Ranch book! Perfect for fans of Diana Palmer, Linda Lael Miller, and Jodi Thomas.

One minute down-on-his-luck rancher Austin Hubbard slept soundly, the next, a sassy spitfire dumped a pitcher of water on his head and woke him up—in more ways than one. Hired to help him rebuild his ranch, Sonya Tucker ends up helping him put the tattered pieces of his life back together. The capable, all-business accountant is on a mission to get the ranch up and running, but can he convince the temptingly beautiful woman to take a chance on him?

Sonya was dismayed that Austin had lost it all: money, family, respectability. Things she—who’d been raised by her mother at Nevada’s notorious brothel Wild Rose Ranch—only dreamed about. But working with the long, lean cowboy shows her that Austin is honorable to his core. Together they slowly grow to see what the love between them might bring.

But then Austin’s powder keg of a family feud explodes, exposing long-buried secrets, and threatening their new-found love…

I've been trying to catch up on my stack of mass market books and I decided to pick up the audiobook too.

Restless Rancher is book 2 in the Wild Rose Ranch series and this series has been so fascinating to me. It's the heroines that really draw me in.

I'd say that this is my favorite in the series so far and Sonya will absolutely win you over. I would have just loved an entire book of her, she's awesome. Such a strong character and very hard working.

I enjoyed reading about these two together. I was a little unsure about Austin and his past love, but Sonya's the best. So there was no doubt these two were perfect together.

Definitely looking forward to book 3!
