An Instalove OTT Short Romance (Willowbrook Ridge Rangers)

De: Julia Stone

Narrado por: Tiffany Hertz

Stella:
Chasing rumors of a legendary beast prowling these mountains sounded like the perfect thrill. When I finally find it, things don’t go as planned—because instead of a mythical creature, I end up spraying a very human, very furious ranger with bear spray. Whoops. Alex may be intimidating, but he's also as stubborn as I am. Now, the real challenge isn’t finding the beast… It's dealing with a man who might be more than I can handle.

Alex:
My job as a ranger doesn’t usually include being mistaken for a rampaging bear, but today is apparently special. When Stella shows up—wild-eyed and brandishing bear spray—I’m blinded, furious, and determined to get answers. But as it turns out, she's searching for something impossible and isn’t willing to leave until she’s satisfied with her findings. Somehow, I can't stop being drawn into her chaos. Even if it makes me the so-called “beast” she’s after.

Short novella

This is the first novella in the Willowbrook Ridge Rangers series, a Mountain Man Series. Stella and Alex's story is steamy, fast-paced, and sweet. Tiffany Hertz has a lovely voice, and a good vocal range. However, the audiobook requires some editing (mainly for repeated lines). I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Watched by the Mountain Man... Alex and Stella

Stella needs some excitement in her mundane life, so why not go hiking in search of a mythical "beast" on the mountain? Instead, she finds the broody mountain ranger Alex, and though their meeting ends awkwardly, the instant attraction is undeniable! It's a fast-paced romance with some heat that you will love! It was a great way to jazz up my work commute! I read the book, so therefore I knew I loved the story, yet I didn't think the narrator did it justice.

The narrator

Love a good saucy story, and short ones are even better! Quick and to the point! I LOVE a good audible. The voice and tone of this narrator was mesmerizing. I hope to hear more from her, soon!

Stella and Alex

After an intense meet-cute and a "painful" argument Stella and Alex become instantly infatuated with each other. Stella's "take no prisoners" personality has her going for what she wants and that just happens to be Alex. This short insta-love steamy romance is definitely worth the listen.
