Sunlight

Haven River Ranch

By: Devney Perry

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Ava Erickson

From USA Today bestselling author Devney Perry comes a sweeping Western romance about undeniable attraction, unforeseen circumstances, and seemingly unbeatable odds.

My first day in Montana, I got into a tug-of-war over a grocery store shopping cart. The most handsome man I’d ever seen broke up the scuffle before he asked me on a date. I was seconds away from accepting but then he told me his name.

As an owner of the Haven River Ranch, Jax Haven wasn’t my boss. But he wasn’t not my boss either.

Obviously, my only option was to turn him down, scurry away, then pretend like he was a stranger on my first day of work. And obviously, I could never, ever admit that he was my secret crush.

For as hard as I work at my job, I work twice as hard to pretend Jax doesn’t exist. I don’t let myself think about his dazzling eyes or charming smile. I refuse to acknowledge how good he looks in a pair of faded Wrangler jeans. And as tempting as he is in a cowboy hat, Jax is a distraction I cannot afford.

Everything was going according to plan until the annual holiday party. Until I drank one too many flutes of champagne and let him sweep me off my feet. After a night in his bed, there was no more ignoring Jax Haven. Not when I’m pregnant with his baby.

Another huge hit ! Laughs and tears. All the feels for this series. Cant wait for the next book

5 STARS! Heartfelt & steamy surprise pregnancy cowboy romance!

Devney Perry is back with Sunlight, another completely captivating small-town cowboy romance in the Haven River Ranch series. Sizzling with electric chemistry and rich in emotional depth, this story focuses on Jax, the charming playboy ranch owner, and Sasha, the resort’s new manager. The two are thrown into a forbidden workplace romance following their one night stand that results in an unexpected surprise. The slow-burn tension between them builds beautifully, blending passion with emotional complexity as their relationship unfolds.

I listened to the audiobook, performed in dual narration by Stephen Dexter and Ava Erickson, who both turned in stellar performances. Stephen Dexter’s rendition of Jax was perfection, Ava Erickson’s Sasha was wonderfully vulnerable and understandably cautious, and their natural chemistry brought this couple to life in my ears. Perry’s storytelling is both heartfelt and steamy resulting in an authentic and magnetic connection. Perry delivers yet another engaging, well-crafted cowboy romance brimming with heart and heat set in her beloved Montana! Five smooches from me for Sunlight by Devney Perry!

Sunlight by Devney Perry,

Absolutely freaking loved it! Ok first I had all these ideas of who Eddie was and why Sasha was writing to him bit was I wrong. It was heartbreaking nonetheless when you know the whole truth of who he is and why she is in Montana. I wanted to get into the pages box the book and hug Sasha so many times and just give her some love. She lost her parents and now she was in a new place where she felt out of place and the only person who only made her feel safe she felt she couldn’t be with. I loved that Jax didn’t give up he kept pushing her boundaries and showed her he was there for her. They needed each other and I loved that they found each other. My heart breaks for Jax with the whole Lilly situation but I wish we had gotten a better understanding of that and they would have ended up better than they did. I mean it was an improvement but I think I wanted so much more. Simply try is es such a great book I absolutely loved it and I definitely recommend it.


I was lucky enough to be able to hear the audiobook and let me tell you wow does it make such a difference ñ. I mean I already loved the book right because it is such a great book but then you listen to the narrators and wham such an amazing experience. The narrators do such an amazing job at bringing Jax and Sasha to life. They help transport you into r he pages of the story and into the ranch right along with the characters. Loved it!!

Decent Perry did it again!

So good! I love Haven River Ranch! Sasha and Jax had great chemistry and banter. I hope there is another book in the series!

Awesome listen!

I think I liked this one better than the first book!! This author has stole my heart with these two books and the narrators are awesome!

Return to Haven River Ranch!

Take me back to Haven River Ranch!!! I love it there!

I enjoyed this audio so much! Stephen Dexter and Ava Erickson did a fantastic job with Jax & Sasha! Stephen brought Jax & his golden retriever heart to life so well, & Ava never misses! She was perfection as Sasha, & did an incredible job bringing all of her emotions through!

I was super excited for Jax's story, even if he was a little shit at times in the first book, Crossroads, lol. This one is 6-7 years post Crossroads, so he has grown up & is much more mature! He really has the sweetest heart, and loves his family & friends fiercely. This man is DOWN BAD for Sasha from their first meeting, & I love to see it. I won't spoil anything, but they are forced together & to see them fall together is so good (& spicy!). Jax's growth from Crossroads to now is more than just with himself, it spreads to his relationship with Lilly as well. I was so glad to see that relationship delved into a little deeper here!

Sasha, sweet Sasha! I adored her! Her strength, her independence, her grit, she is willing to do whatever she can to take care of herself. Love the mystery around her too, and while I won't spoil anything here either, the way that played out made me cry in heartbreak and then again with happy tears!

All in all, I absolutely loved this one! Can't wait for what's next from this series! I think we already got the hint & I AM READY!

DP always delivers

I absolutely loved this one. Devney absolutely delivered. She really did the accidental pregnancy trope a service here. I absolutely adored Jax and Sasha and their journey through this relationship. Definitely taking a place in my top DP books. 🫶🏻

Sunlight

"Sunlight," book two in Devney Perry's Haven River Ranch series, weaves a heartwarming tale set in a small town in Montanna. The novel's blend of an accidental pregnancy plot with the dynamics of forced proximity, delivered a mix of cheerfulness and depth of emotion, that promises to keep readers engrossed in the unfolding story and intimately connected with the characters' lives.

"Sunlight" delivers the captivating tale of Jax, the younger brother of West Haven who appeared in Crossroads. While it's the second installment in the series, it works well as a standalone.

From the moment Jax met Sasha, he was taken aback by the profound effect she had on him. Their initial encounter resulted in charming and flirtatious exchanges that had the reading grinning from ear to ear. The playful banter continued until Sasha realized she would be working closely with Jax, which led her to abruptly ending their light-hearted exchanges. Immediately, she erected walls, that presented a challenge for Jax to overcome. Despite her efforts to maintain a professional distance, the attraction between them was undeniable. Eventually, a relaxed evening out and a couple of drinks led to a night filled with passionate intensity, leaving them with an unforeseen consequence: pregnancy.

Sasha has made a firm decision to distance herself from everyone, including Jax. It's admirable that he chose not to pressure her and respected her boundaries. Yet, this doesn't imply that he gave upon her. He's consistently present, supporting her at every turn, even when she believes she doesn't need him.

As the story unfolds, Sasha's secrets come to light, revealing the myriad of struggles she faces. The plot thickens with a mysterious figure from her past. While my theories about this person were completely wrong, the unraveling of this mystery was fascinating. Emotions run deep in this part of the story, with Sasha's anguish so vivid, it's easy for readers to feel empathy towards her.

Jax and Sasha's chemistry is undeniable, creating a delightful duo. Their exchanges are so engaging they'll leave you with a smile on your face. The inclusion of secondary characters added depth to the story, enhancing the reading experience.

For those in search of a heartwarming romance, this one is sure to delight. It's a feel-good story that I thoroughly enjoyed and would happily recommend to fellow readers.

I have listened to Ava Erickson several times, but this is my first experience with Stephen Dexter. The chemistry between these two narrators is undeniable! I enjoyed their performance and look forward to more collaboration between these two. Stephen brought the character of Jax to life in a way that's hard to resist. Meanwhile, Ava lends her voice to Sasha, embodying the character's vulnerability with such finesse that it becomes a highlight of her performance. Together, they elevate the audiobook to a wonderful level of storytelling. It's simply beautiful.

Another great story from Devney!

I loved this. The only thing I would change was Sasha opening up more to Jax and letting him in instead of waiting till 85%-90% of the book. Would have liked to know more of Sasha’s story because I don’t feel like we got a lot of that. Other than that, I thought it was great and thought Jax was a great character.

Narrators were fantastic and enjoyed listening to them!

Just love this book

Devney Perry did it again! I love this story so much! It made me laugh and swoon the entire time! The narrators were amazing and I loved every second of this book.
