Avon Contemporaries on Sale!

Books on Sale: At Wolf Ranch by Jennifer Ryan & More

RECOMMENDED: At Wolf Ranch by Jennifer Ryan is $2.99! This is technically more of a romantic suspense than a contemporary, but I’d say the suspense portion is pretty light. The book also features an awesome beta rancher hero who knows how to cook. Elyse and I did a joint review of the book and gave it a B:

Elyse:

This book was trope heaven for me. It’s got Country Boy vs City Girl, Unexpected Rescuer, Snowed In… It was like trope confetti.

Amanda:

Yes! Plus I’ve been on a cowboy kick lately and c’mon, did you see the size of that man’s Stetson on the cover?

Admittedly, it was a slow start for me with the phone call and the info dumpage of character details. However once Ella and Gabe were in the same vicinity, the book really took off. Their interactions together were sincere, sweet, and addicting.

Like I would say no to anything that involved the remote possibility of baked goods, right? Why baked goods? As Caro, the lovely publicists who came up with this buttery idea wrote to me, “Since the heroine, Sherry Carne, owns a … Continue reading Giveaway: A KitchenAid Stand (Mixer) and Lynsay Sands! →
