About this listen

Andrea Bartell is an international model whose jet-set lifestyle has kept her from her Texas home for five years. Noah Courtland is the man she left behind after a bitter breakup. He's in charge of her beloved Bridleton, and it's at the root of their emotional warfare.

Neither wants to rekindle the flames of their relationship, yet the desire hasn't diminished. It burns hotly, forcing them to deal with their pain and heartache. The unveiling of old promises and secrets might save their relationship, or it could destroy any chance of a future.

A love story that binds you

This is a great great love listen. My first from from the author and the narrator . The author knows how to make you pull your hair out , shaking your head . The story also has you rallying for the couple and love how the family member that wants to see a happy ending to the couple .

Hero is Noah. Heroine is Andrea .
Both Noah and Andrea have had feelings, have loved , each other since they were knee high. They both lived in a small town in Texas . Andrea wanted more from her life then living on her great aunt ranch and seeing her life going nowhere. She decides to get up and more away for school and to make something of herself. Usually it’s the male that does that but in this story it’s the heroine. Yers later she gets a call to go back to the ranch , not only her but her family home . Her great aunt needs help with the ranch .
Once she gets back to the ranch sees Noah living on the ranch , Andrea can’t believe his Gull , Noah is living on the ranch and practaclly running it . Andrea thinks that Noah want the ranch for himself and trying to trick her great aunt into giving it to him . Her great aunt tells Andrea that she needs to step up money wide and handle the responsibilities or she is selling her shares of the ranch to Noah
After a while Andrea sees that Noah goes beyond what is needed and called for to run the ranch

Meanwhile Noah wants what he used to have with Andrea . Noah wants Andrea I. His arms , his life and bed. . He hopes she sees that he is a reliable man and he will never let her down and will make Andrea happy .

How does Noah convince Andrea to go back to him for good Grab it and see

The narrator is good , it was my first listen to him , the voice was strong , clear and steady .

Got better and better.

Would you consider the audio edition of Bridleton to be better than the print version?

I hadn't read the print version, but hearing the book keeps the story and characters more prominent in my mind.

What does Johnny Peppers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The voice of Johnny Peppers added to the "cowboy feel" of the book. His voice makes you think tight jeans, hairy chests and dusty cowboy hats.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There is a strong family theme in this book. At times it's very sweet, but it also has the anticipation of a sexual relationship that keeps you wanting more.

Any additional comments?

I really wasn't too sure I was going to like the book when I first started listening, but I found myself very anxious to get back to it every time I put it down. I really felt like it just got better and better. This was my first Becky Barker book, but I'm definitely going to go back for more!

Andrea and Noah

This couple had some misunderstanding and miscommunications plus were very young. I was glad when they were brought back together they still had the pull to each and it was great to see them work through the issues. I look forward to listening to the second in the series also. Johnny Peppers did a great job with narration.

Conflicted!

I like almost everything Becky Barker writes, but Bridleton isn't one of them. Andrea Bartell is a model traveling through Europe when she gets a phone call from her Aunt Annette that she needs to come home. It seems that the family ranch is in disrepair, and she and her siblings have to make some tough decisions like selling controlling interest to the ranch manager, Noah Courtland. Noah and Andrea have a conflicted past since neither one of them remembers the same facts. Noah thinks Andrea walked away leaving him with a shattered heart, but Andrea thinks that Noah played her and her sister. When she directly asked him if he had sex with Caroline, he didn't say yes or no. This is where I really started to dislike the book. It's just semantics and when the truth comes out, it's underwhelming and, frankly, cringeworthy. Noah was angry. Andrea was angry. Noah was horny. Andrea was horny. Their favorite word is nipple. Noah and Andrea had hate sex. Noah was condescending. Andrea was condescending and I think they were having a competition to see who could be the biggest loser. It was a tie. For Becky Barker, this is nothing like what I've become accustomed to reading. I hope this is simply a one-off! Johnny Peppers does a wonderful job with the narration. His well-modulated voice, perfect pace and intonation bring this story to life.

saving the ranch & rediscovering love...

Model Andrea Bartell has returned home, after a 5yr hiatus, at the request of her aunt. Their family ranch is failing and Andrea and all of her siblings must pitch in if they don't want their aunt to sell controlling interest to the ranch manager, Noah Courtland. There is no way in he!! Andrea is going to let that happen! After all, Noah is the same man who broke her heart and the reason that she has stayed away all of these years. Noah isn't all that happy to see Andrea either...she refused to believe his side of the story after a terrible accident that killed her sister...she left HIM broken hearted and alone. That said, everyone wants the ranch to succeed so they will have to work together to make it happen. Will the sparks between Noah and Andrea become a stumbling block to saving the ranch? What about their respective 'love interests'? Is there an HEA for the pair? Great story and I look forward to the other siblings' stories.

Really enjoy this

This was a nice easy listen that was very entertaining, at times very funny. Has great characters, a great plot with meaning and emotions. The author holds your attention with some serious issues of lost love, finding it again as well as learning to trust, a surprised that had broke up a love that was heart breaking. Andrea has a lot to learn, trust is a big issue here as well as reading between the lines which Andrea hasn't learned but she will. Asking the right question to get the right answers is another big issue. I found this to be a delightful romance with great characters that I fell in love with.

I thought the narrator did a good job, his character voices were good, as well as his character emotion. There was no background noise, no volume change, he normal voice is pleasant. I knew who was talking and what they were feeling. I enjoyed his narration and really got lost in this audio.

at odds over a truth but a lie

Noah and Andrea had something meaningful at one point in time. Something changed all that and now things are tenuous at best. Fir Andrea coming back home may have been the best thing for her, but the memories may chase her away. Noah held on to his desire for the land and the woman, but he would not just give in. I found a few holes in information. Left me wanting more.

Narration was okay but a bit confusing at time. Not always a clear gender ringing through. Hope for more on follow up.
