From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ruth Cardello comes the steamy debut to the Lone Star Burn series.

Would-be writer Sarah Dery has just turned twenty-five and feels like her life is on hold. She’s done squat with her English degree and is just killing time working for her parents. So, when the opportunity to spend the summer working on a ranch in Texas comes her way, she jumps at the chance - figuring it might be just the jolt she needs to get her creative juices flowing.

Tony Carlton is a handsome and reclusive horse trainer with a tortured past and an eye for trouble, this time in the form of a naked blonde stranger he finds in his shower.

The wrong turn that led Sarah into the arms of this sexy, brooding cowboy turns out to be just what she needed to find her steamy inner voice, but will their connection be enough to break down Tony’s defenses?

This contamporary romance story has a cowboy with a haunting past interested in a naive, inqusitive young lady. Not only at the wrong house, wrong ranch, & definitely the right shower to start your day.

Three stars overall

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the first book in The Lone Star Burn Series by Ruth Cardello and narrated by Mary Kowal. Sarah has her English degree but hasn’t been able to do any writing because she just can’t get her creative juices flowing. When she gets the opportunity to spend the summer working on a ranch she jumps at the chance. The problem is she ends up at the wrong ranch. Tony Carlton is the sexy reclusive horse trainer, when he comes home from working he finds the very naked stranger (Sarah) in his shower. When Tony and Sarah can’t deny the attraction is it explosive.

The narrator Mary Kowal, did a great job, and was very easy to listen too. This is the first time I have listened to this narrator, and I am looking forward to listening to more books by her. She did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

This book has romance, humor, and sexy cowboys. I could have easily listened to the book in one sitting except that I was at work while listening to it. I can’t wait until the next book in the series comes out.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

How Cowboy!

I loved this story. The idea of both of them having deep scars and helping each other get past them and move forward was intriguing. The innocence of Sarah and the toughness of Tony made the story play out so well. However, The narrator choice was wrong for this book this person should have had a Texas accent and the voices for each character were just wrong.

Wrong place, right time. This story was about characters with some serious emotional scars, but handled beautifully, with humor, insight and understanding. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Quirky and fun!

The narrator used too much of a "southern twang" maybe I'm just being picky though cause I'm from the south and know the real thing.

Good story

Would have preferred a sexy mans voice that didn’t sound so much like a Forest Gump drawl. Other than that, great!

Tony sounds like Forest Gump.
