BLURB

She swore she'd never fall for him...but the super-hot cowboy is her new boss.

An enemies to lovers, close proximity, small town cowboy romance in the best-selling Wild Men series by USA Today bestselling author Melissa Belle.

I’m a cowboy through and through. My rodeo days may be over, but I live for the ranch.

I don’t have time for relationships. Or for romance.

Then she shows up in a torn wedding gown and covered in mud. She asks me for a few things that night, but the one I turn her down on is the one I can’t stop picturing.

Then she ends up working for me. And my simple cowboy life becomes sweet torture.

Can a runaway bride who pushes all my buttons have been the right woman all along?

OUR THOUGHTS

"Desperate times call for... in my case, very stupid measures."

Imagine it's your wedding day 👰
The excitement, the anticipation
You are about to commit to the one man-made just for you, the man you will share your HEA with
Only right before the big moment, you find out you are not his one and only 😦
What's a girl to do?
Run

This had a few of my favorite tropes. All brought together in a heart-melting romance that was hard to put down.
There was the brooding cowboy with a painful past
The witty jilted bride running from more than just her wedding day
The ex who would make great pig feed - gave me a case of the icks
The mother who took patience
A past that needed to be reconciled
And a family that stood together through thick and thin

"The Truth," she says, "Is that all I keep wondering is: What's Luke Wild like in the dark?"
Love this line

This was a slow-burn, high-heat romance that truly leaves a mark on its reader.
I came into the series with Luke's book, but I will be going back to read the rest.
They are interconnected standalones
