About this listen
Set in rural upstate New York along the Delaware River, the Wayward Son Diner is a pit stop for tourists and locals of Sullivan County. Waitress Alex Hanson has seen it all and has no interest in the daily gossip-mongering of the natives. Knowing full well what it feels like to be the grease on the wheel, Alex takes pity on new park ranger Sam Ruiz, when he’s accosted by several eligible females whose need to satisfy their biological clocks outweighs their ingrained trepidation of a government employee.
Alex’s reluctant intervention starts a chain reaction that forces Ranger Ruiz to her doorstep, pushing the NPS agenda, even though he hates to see Alex so on edge. Despite the spark of attraction, neither Sam nor Alex is willing to explore a real relationship - until a dangerous warning hits Sam too close to home. Before Alex can blink, she’s enmeshed herself in Sam’s investigation, and unwittingly becomes a target for the homegrown terrorists gunning for the National Park Service. And for Sam.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it.

There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Turned suspenseful
I started listening to this thinking it felt like you were listening to a gentle flowing story that you could listen to in the background while doing the chores, it had an interesting plot line and I was enjoying the easy listening, and then.... one hour before the end it got gripping!! I couldn't stop I had to know the end, my heart was racing a little as the tension built. I must say I was satisfied at the end, I had guessed a few subplots but didn't guess the final bad guy, loved that.
The narrator was very skilled, kept the story going well

A Romance & An Adventure
I enjoyed this standalone story a lot. Ranger Sam Ruiz was working for the NPS and was newly assigned to upstate New York. Alex Hanson worked at a local diner. When dangerous things started happening, Sam turned to Alex for help with the local population. I liked the characters. They were complicated and scarred, but both were realistic. I enjoyed the slow burn to their romance. There was plenty of action. Hollie Jackson's narration was fine, and her performance kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review which reflected my opinions.

A nice quick listen
In the beginning of the story I honestly didn't know what was going on. I still don't know why the town hated the rangers. Once I got past trying to understand things and just listened to the story It was nice. Alex was a bit damaged but she was a fighter who wanted to try and have a normal life. Sam was not an alpha but a very strong beta. He took charge when needed and could kick ass when necessary. The towns folk were a bunch of busy body gossips and the end hooks still have me scratching my head but at the end of the story i was happy with what I got.

the narrator Hollie Jackson is quickly moving up in the ranks on my must listen list. Her performance made a good book enjoyable.

Townies vs rangers
If you could sum up River Rats in three words, what would they be?
rangers, rape, romance
What did you like best about this story?
More to the story than just a romance.
Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No idea. She did a great job with this one. Loved the accents.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I probably chuckled a time or two and also teared up now and then.

Good drama and plot. Narrator blech.
This narrator is so bland and disappointing. The story is damaged by her reading.
The story, however, is just right for its length. That is, it doesn’t feel like we were cheated out of more story, nor does it feel as if we wanted it to end 40 minutes before it did.
I enjoyed the amount of drama. There was a bit of rushing in one or two parts, but that may just reflect my preference and not something everyone would agree on. The kids’ parts were given a fair percentage of the book, and were well written, not unrealistic or just as props.
