She swore she’d never fall for him…but the super-hot cowboy is her new boss.
An enemies to lovers, close proximity, small town cowboy romance in the best-selling Wild Men series by USA Today bestselling author Melissa Belle.
I’m a cowboy through and through. My rodeo days may be over, but I live for the ranch.
I don’t have time for relationships. Or for romance.
Then she shows up in a torn wedding gown and covered in mud. She asks me for a few things that night, but the one I turn her down on is the one I can’t stop picturing.
Then she ends up working for me. And my simple cowboy life becomes sweet torture.
Can a runaway bride who pushes all my buttons have been the right woman all along?
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Luke and Sophia. I have to admit this was my first Melissa Belle book and it did not disappoint. I need to go back and read the first eight books about the Wild family. This one was so good that you are going to be hooked and not lay it down until you are finished reading it. It is the story of two broken people. One a cowboy with a ranch and the other a bride with a ripped dress and mud all over her. These two both have demons that they are battling and they just somehow fit with each other whether they wanted to or not. There is a lot of fighting their attraction to each other since she ends up working on the ranch. But that was half the fun of reading this book. They have some great banter with each other and I am a sucker for some great banter. If two people have ever deserved a HEA it is Luke and Sophia and you are going to have so much fun reading theirs.
