To review

Sam is a horse whisperer, and Mia has a horse that needs help. A perfect match.

Mia is a rich girl, who has made a path of her own. She is an accomplished show-jumper who tries to prove herself to others. Her weakness is her dead friend's horse, a demon that can not be tamed anymore.

Sam is the horse whisperer with scars of his own. Demons in his past and he has lost the will to love.

Mia, oh Mia. She really should have said everything at once. She put his life in danger. Idiot! I also found something that happened later on idiotic too. I wanted to slap her again. I got it at first, but then, why oh why? She does not deserve him. I am very I will slap you happy lately.

Ok so these two have their worked cut out for them. First there is the whole is she only a rich girl thing to get over. Then things heat up but they both do not want a relationship. And then there is more drama.

I must say that I was really curious about how Sam's sister ended up with his best friend. That must have been quite the story. Also Mia's brother seems up next and that looks to be promising too.

Anyway, yes Mia did have her spot of weakness, but overall it was a good book that felt fast. I liked their shared love of horses and they did seem like a great fit.

Romance, horses and drama.

It takes true grit to build a billion-dollar dynasty like the Ford family ranch. But when it comes to finding love, all it takes is one handsome cowboy to steal a woman's heart.  
She's riding solo.  
As one of the heirs to the River Ranch fortune, Mia Ford is practically Texas royalty. But that doesn't mean she's some pampered princess. She can saddle up and ride a horse as well as any man, even a hard-working cowboy like Sam Mendes. For years, she's harbored a crush on the strong, silent horseman. But how can she make a move when she's his boss?  
He's taking the reins.  
Sam Mendes is through with love - or so he thought. Still recovering from a breakup, he's doing everything in his power to resist Mia Ford. It's bad enough she's the kind of beauty who drives men wild with desire. It's even worse she's got him so worked up, aching to kiss her lips, when he's supposed to be working her ranch. Is this lovestruck cowboy willing to risk losing his job - and breaking his heart - to win the girl of his dreams?

For review

My Thoughts
Why on earth Molly was hating on John I do not know, he was like a sweet teddybear that did everything to protect her. Just let him do it!

And with that I will begin. So my previous Ruggle books have been great, this one was still good, but I guess the couple did not sizzle like previous ones. Mostly cos she tried to get away from him and then suddenly she loved him and like a day had passed. Oh well, it was still fun!

5 sisters. They are bounty hunters. Their mother is a petty criminal and soon she is in trouble. Ugh, what a mother!!! I really hate her. And then sisters have to find her and clear this mess, and catch the biggest bounty of them all.

Molly is the one taking charge. And she crosses paths with her enemy John who is also a bounty hunter. But omg this guy, sweetie! He does all he can to help her.

Explosions, falling in love and catching bad guys. That sums it up. And sisters that hold together no matter what.

Narration

I have listened to her do Ruggle books before and I like her with them. She does them well and get the feel of intensity.

Five bounty-hunting sisters
Deep in the heart of the Rockies
Fighting to save each other
...and the men who steal their hearts

Bounty hunter Molly Pax fought hard for everything she has, turning the bail recovery business she shares with her sisters into an unqualified success. So when their sticky-fingered mother jumps bail and puts the childhood home up as collateral, Molly's horrified. To make matters worse, every two-bit criminal in the Rockies now sees her family's misfortune as their next big break.

She needs help, stat.

Enter rival bounty hunter John Carmondy: six feet of pure trouble, with a cocky grin to match. John's the most cheerfully, annoyingly gorgeous frenemy Molly's ever had the pleasure of defeating...and he may be her only hope of making it out of this mess alive.

My Thoughts

Awww, awwww, awww! Omg you guys, Wes was SUCH A CUTIE! Seriously, I grinned SO many times while listening. He was just, awww, I want to hug him, and squeeze him tight. And Kit was perfect for him, perfect! She got him without even trying, she got him! *happy sigh*

Ok, the cover is all wrong, do not look at the cover. He is a bearded lumberjack.

Kit is the new cop in Monroe. And she is all wtf! The place is bombed out after book 3. It looks like the zombie apocalypse happened. Her colleagues are tight lipped and whisper secrets behind her back- And I get that they want to protect the women, but come on! Not cool guys, not cool! Hugh and Theo did not get any love from me in this book. But yes I get it, they can not tell her secrets that is not theirs to tell. 

Anyway, Kit is awesome, she longs for a new start, she is good at her job and she loves her dog.

Wes is a socially awkward firespotter who has barely left his tower in 6 years. Nobody knows him (except weird mountain folks that respect him, they all keep to their own). But he is so cute and warm. He was the best thing about the book and when he meet Kit, awww. He so wants to try, but he is NOT good with women. But she fancies him too, and omg, adorbs!

I loved how slow it went, cos hello! Socially awkward and never leaves his tower! He relaxes around her and she likes how he gets her back. It was perfect.

Of course there is drama too. Since someone set a fire and Kit has her suspicions. Better catch that person before it is too late!

Conclusion:

Another great one from Ruggle! Wes and Kit is the couple of the year!

She is great, and makes the book

Cover

Like I said, first she should be on the cover, it is her book. Second. He has a beard and is all lumberjack

Blurb

Kit Jernigan despairs of ever fitting in with her new tight-knit K9 unit. They've been through too much to open their arms to a stranger―and as mysterious fires begin raging across Monroe, she can't convince them to trust her long enough to catch the woman she knows is responsible.

Wesley March, local fire spotter, knows Kit is right, and he's willing to help her prove it. But the more time they spend together, the closer they get...and the more danger they're in. A member of the K9 unit's inner circle is determined to get revenge―no matter who gets burned in the process. 

This time, it's personal.

Audio: Survive the Night - Katie Ruggle

K9 Officer Otto Gunnersen always had a soft spot for anyone in need. As Monroe's very own Dr. Doolittle, he dedicates himself to rehabilitating the injured souls that cross his path-but for all his big heart, he's never been in love. Until he meets Sarah Clifton's haunted eyes. Until he realizes he'll do anything to save her. All Sarah wants is to escape a life caught between ambitious crime families, but there's no outrunning her past. Her power-mad brother would hunt her to the ends of the earth . . . but he'd never expect Sarah to fight back. With Otto and the whole of Monroe, Colorado, by her side, Sarah's finally ready to face whatever comes her way.

for review

My thoughts;

I would not want to live in this town! AT the same time I would love to live in this town.

Problem 1. They have a history of stuff blowing up and shootings.

Problem 2. A woman named Sarah has shown up, and she spells trouble.

Win 1. The people we get to know are awesome.

Win 2. Sounds really pretty!

So pretty but with a danger of things going boom ;)

Poor Sarah, her brother was beyond an ahole. That guy needed to just die. But she was sweet, if obviously timid .

Then there was Otto, the Viking Lumberjack as she thinks of him and omg, omg, he was so sweet! I just wanted to hug him. He was so careful, so smitten, so clueless that he was a hottie. I love you Otto!

But bad guys are after her. And things will get intense!!! Between that there are cute animals to pet and a lumberjack to woo. 

Conclusion:
Suspense and romance. Perfect.

Callie Beaulieu (Narrator)

She did a good job and had a nice range. I fell into her story at once.

It was great listening to
