Stranded Ranch + Giveaway

Random Retro Read

Her past came back to surprise her. But her past is now a flirty hot cowboy so…

I wasn’t sure why I gave up a week in the Bahamas with friends to visit my grandparent’s home in Wyoming.

In January.

But one phone call to the ranch to check-in was all it took.

It didn’t matter that the worst storm to hit Wyoming in years was upon us. I needed to be there. I just didn’t know why.

But a road closure and a surprise knock on the door brought back sweet memories from my past. And perhaps a handsome cowboy for my future.

And I can’t help but think that the unexpected is often the best surprise of all.

My Review:

published in 2021

Eeeeppp!!! I do so love a stranded in a snowstorm romance and this one produced all the feels. Fun and flirty. Delightfully awkward. Swoonworthy. And oh, my the toe-curling kisses might have been out done by the toe-curling near kisses!

Lucy and Dusty are in matchmaking heaven between her wily grandparents and the raging blizzard outside. And who doesn’t love a cowboy hero with a flirtatious streak?! I’m surprised the snow didn’t melt away from all that sizzle and spark! But it’s his supportive, accepting nature that elevates his hero status. There are some truly tender, affirming moments with Lucy who battles anxiety that were so….perfect!

‘Stranded Ranch’ is short and sweet but also packed with the kind of emotional depth I love to see in a romance. A sheer delight from start to finish.

I listened to the audio edition narrated by Justis Bolding and enjoyed every second. It was a listen in one go kind of ‘read’. Loved the way she captured the unique personalities of each character and the way she delivered the flirty banter brought an extra oomph to those scenes. An absolutely delightful listening experience!

My thanks to Dreamscape Media and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

    1. Good afternoon (now) Diane. Haven’t checked my email since early evening last night. Made the trek to my nonfiction book club at my old church, and, sadly, I think I’ll have to quit once we finish this book. It’s just too long to travel and the snow will make it much worse. So sad 😦

      1. Aww . . . shucks. Bless your heart. I’m so sorry to hear this. 😦 But think about all the other great advantages to your move, such as things being closer so you can travel in the snow! Lotsa good stuff, right?! 🙂
