High-Stakes Cowboy

WEST Protection, Book 1

By: Em Petrova

Narrated by: Grace Noble, Logan McAllister

One hatched plan…and a whole lotta romance.

Maya Ray’s just been dumped. Noah Wynton’s just been dumped too. So while their exes bask in their new relationship, what do Maya Ray and Noah do? Hatch a plan, of course.

The checklist:

• Pretend to date.
• Show up everywhere their exes do.
• Get lovey-dovey as often as possible (shouldn’t be too difficult, with this chemistry!)
• Prove they’re over their exes (except things are starting to snowball, and maybe those kisses aren’t so fake after all…)

Maya Ray is convinced the best revenge is proving to her ex that she’s fine. With a plan like this in place, she’s sure to have more than her share of fun too. Now that Noah’s spending so much time with Maya Ray, he’s starting to realize things might not have been perfect with his ex. But how long can they possibly keep up this act? And with a whirlwind romance to fake, who has time for falling in love?

This is where WEST Protection all started! Plus, a whole lot of sass and heated moments along the way!

Absolutely love Noah!

Love this series and am super excited they are now audiobooks.
Having Noah and Maya Ray come to life has been a real joy to listen to. They have just an unusual journey in finding each other.
Looking forward to the rest of the series being audiobooks to relive The West Protection series.

Noah is my favorite

Ok, I can not help it. Noah is my favorite. I know it keeps changing, but these Wynton boys are all that and a bag of chips. I love the way Noah and Maya Ray start off. I love their journey, and I love how they each come to terms with their feelings. Noah is so sure of his life until it falls apart on him. Maya Ray thinks she wants revenge until she doesn't. I love revisiting Ross and Boone and Silas, even if it is before we know who they are. Great writing, perfect characters, wonderful chemistry.
edited to add: The vocal version of Noah and Maya Ray is just as good as the written words. I am so happy I got to reacquaint myself with them. Hearing their intimate moments, remembering how they fall, makes me feel all tingly in my heart.

Enjoyed this Cowboy Romance

The story was cute and the performance was amazing. The narrators were cast perfectly. I don't usually read western romance, but I enjoyed this.

I wish the chapter headings were said at chapter changes, but other than that, this was a super fun listen.

The story is a tad short, but still great. I'd totally listen to sequels when they come out.

Sweet and steamy

A sweet, steamy one night stand, fake relationship tied up with the origin story of WEST Protection. I loved Noah and Maya Ray’s story. Their chemistry is off the charts from their first meeting. The morning after their one night stand they realize their exes are dating each other so they hatch a plan to pretend date in order make them jealous. Their chemistry and feelings only deepen as time goes on and the fake soon bleeds over to real. The story was well written with witty dialogue, characters with dimension and an engaging storyline including sweet moments, steamy scenes, chuckles, supportive friends and family, and heart squeezing love. I am excited to read the next book in this series.

Logan McAllister and Grace Noble did a wonderful job in narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite well.

Had potential

The story had potential but missed the mark. Grace Noble did a decent narrative of the female part but Logan McAllister was creepy in the male role.
