Wind River Wrangler

De: Lindsay McKenna

Narrado por: Johanna Parker

From the moment Roan Taggart picked up the pretty redhead at the Jackson Hole airport, his training and experience told him she was spooked. She's left New York City to visit the Wind River Ranch, where Roan is a wrangler, and just as he can pick up a horse's mood, he can feel the tension coming off her body. And that vulnerability is triggering all his protective instincts.

Shiloh Gallagher likes the gray-eyed cowboy's dry humor - and the Special Forces background that lends him a stoic, powerful presence. But she's been scarred by trauma and her mother's murder and knows a strong man can be dangerous. She came to wide-open Wyoming to flee a threat that's left her unable to write her novels. Now, as she rides horses with Roan and helps him build an isolated cabin, she's slowly letting down her guard. But danger has followed her west, and they won't have a future together unless they defeat a killer from her past.

Wimpy Woman

The key character was so whinny I wanted to stop reading the book a dozen times at least. The voice of the narrator was part if that. She probably made it seem worse than it really was. I could not imagine an ex black ops soldier falling for so weak a person. Not a good book.

great book

love the book and narrators it held my attention throughout the whole book suspense and romance

ugh but the story

the story line was good but so wordy. the writer used incorrect words and constantly repeated herself. at one point she made the heroine seem like an idiot. couldn't get past ch 11. the narrator whispers her dialogue and puts me to sleep.

Wyoming moving

well written. and told story, think I have to move to Wyoming. Can picture the country must have been beautiful.

realy like this one ...tho

this is one of my first romance books tho … I liked the whole ex black ops

Too internal

For my taste, there was a little too much internal musing and not enough action in this book. The narrator, however, was fabulous.

Not quite out of the ballpark

Good story, but parts were repetitive, like the reader could t remember details. The narrator got “breathy” where a straight voice would have been more interesting. The hero was “perfect”. Then again it is a romance with a HEA.

Roan Taggart and Shiloh Gallagher

Not good for me!

This might have been good but way too much over and over! Reader was not good at all for male part!

Boring

I wasn’t a fan, I found the story to be repetitive and anticlimactic. Also there wasn’t much romance other than a couple scenes there was no relationship really just her being scared and him talking to her about it.
