Wind River Wrangler by Lindsay McKenna: Review

Wind River Wrangler by Lindsay McKenna

One of the reasons I love a good romance book is because of the build up; the anticipation of what’s to come. When you get an author that knows how to build the moment, it can make the book. This is the first book review I have done by this author and I was pleasantly surprised at this steamy western themed romance.

Check out my thoughts on this new release:

Still waters run deep . . .

Synopsis:
From the moment Roan Taggart picked up the pretty redhead at the Jackson Hole airport, his training and experience told him she was spooked. She’s left New York City to visit the Wind River Ranch, where Roan is a wrangler, and just as he can pick up a horse’s mood, he can feel the tension coming off her body. And that vulnerability is triggering all his protective instincts. . .

Shiloh Gallagher likes the gray-eyed cowboy’s dry humor—and the Special Forces background that lends him a stoic, powerful presence. But she’s been scarred by trauma and her mother’s murder . . . and knows a strong man can be dangerous. She came to wide-open Wyoming to flee a threat that’s left her unable to write her novels. Now, as she rides horses with Roan and helps him build an isolated cabin, she’s slowly letting down her guard. But danger has followed her west, and they won’t have a future together unless they defeat a killer from her past. . .

My Thoughts on Wind River Wrangler by Lindsay McKenna

There is nothing like a hot cowboy who can wear a pair of Wrangler’s and is full of the protectiveness women crave.

This author has developed two great characters that balance each other perfectly and the heat radiating off them is almost tangible. I loved the instant attraction factor and yet the respect for boundaries is in full effect. When the gloves come off, however, the heat factor is awesome.

This book also includes a few twists along the way but some of the storyline is predictable too. The author does a great job and kicks it up a notch with some of the suspense and drama of the story. She offers plenty of interest and this book read easily and quickly.

One thing that did bug me was the number of times that she referred to Roan and his past “black ops” job. It really drove me a bit nuts by the 3rd or 4th reference and there is more too!

Overall, a good read that is a delicious diversion for the everyday rut. Fall in love with Roan and look forward for many more to come in the Wind River series.
