Aria has never made decisions for herself—it seems life makes them for her, which is how she’s become a star on the hit western TV show REDEMPTION FALLS. Now it seems she’s landed herself with a fiancé she doesn’t exactly want. No way is she getting hitched, so it’s high time she does something about it. But she didn’t plan to be a runaway bride—it just sort of happened.Wheeler is not only laid … only laid up with a broken foot but his horse is on watch with a tough injury too. Hobbling to the barn is a trial and his work as a wrangler is off limits. When he goes out to attempt morning chores, he finds a beautiful woman asleep in his barn. Discovering she is a famous actor from the show filming nearby is even less shocking than her plea for him to keep her hidden. Letting her stay on his fixer-upper ranch is an easy yes when she proves she knows how to tend his injured horse, and just looking at her alluring curves does a whole lot for his low spirits.
Aria can’t hide forever, but she’s reluctant to leave her cozy retreat. The hunky—and stubborn—cowboy provides no pressure as well as a much-needed listening ear. Besides, here on his ranch she finally feels she’s doing something she enjoys and making decisions, even if they aren’t all for her. After an opportunity falls into Wheeler’s lap, she can’t let it pass by. But now she isn’t sure if she took the leap for him or for herself. What if it ends up benefiting both?

This was a very enjoyable read. I thought Aria and Wheeler’s story was fun, sweet, romantic and also passionate. The story pulled me in and kept me entertained. Plenty of emotions and personal growth make this a book that easily touches your heart.
Book two in this new series more than lives up to the promise shown in book 1.
This time we meet Wheeler and Aria who, on the surface, appear to have nothing in common.
He is a hard working rancher with a broken foot, she is an actress on the series being filmed nearby.
But they are more alike than they thought. Both of them have drifted to where they are today, they’ve given up their dreams, and allowed others to decide for them.
It is a delight to watch their relationship grow. Both Wheeler, and Aria are well written, believable, and likable characters.
The story develops at a steady pace, and, whilst it is steamy in parts, it has plenty of humour.
“6-Pack Wrangler” is the second book in Em Petrova’s Six Pack Cowboy Series. Aria is an actress on the hit series Redemption Falls. Originally one of the show’s horse handlers, her beauty and natural acting ability were quickly discovered. She then found herself spending all of her time behind the camera instead of interacting with her beloved horses. Also capturing the attention of blockbuster action film star Jason Lee was another surprise to a girl born on a horse ranch in Montana. Before she knew it, Jason had somehow moved in with her and was discussing marriage– all within a few short months. Her whole life, Aria was told what to do and fell along with other’s plans for her without resistance. When Jason arrived on the set on Redemption Falls with not only a ring and surprise proposal, but a tux, wedding dress and minister in tow for an impromptu wedding, Aria was engulfed in panic- and ran.
Wheeler owns a small ranch in the mountains of Washington that he inherited from his grandparents. He is content to just let things be as they were. No updates to the ranch house have been made with its 198O’s decor. He has 3 horses for pleasure. He’s happy to work at another man’s ranch and keep his place simply a home to come back to and not a business. Then one day he enters his barn to find a woman curled up asleep. From that moment, everything he believed to be true in his life looks dull and lifeless. He wants more, much more– preferably with Aria by his side. But can his simple existence make a woman of her means happy?
This book is an exploration of the self. Learning to trust not only another with their hearts, but also to trust in themselves. Each must learn to follow their heart to do what is right for themselves but also each other. Its a scary road to take.
This book is a delightful read. The characters are flawed, warm in personality and likeable. Their chemistry is palpable and combustible. I devoured this book in a single night.

I am loving this series!
This is book two in this series and in this one we meet Wheeler and Aria. Aria is a woman who runs away from a marriage proposal that she doesn’t want and runs right into Wheeler.
There was many aspects of this book I liked but the most being that these two were similar in a lot of ways. They both had run from something and was able to reflect on it. There were times that Wheeler would throw out at Aria was out of his league but for the most part he saw her as an equal.
I really liked the character of Aria. Even though she ran away, everything in this story told of a caring and loving woman. She was a hard worker and great with animals. She came clean to everyone and said she was sorry. However, in the end she knew what she had to do and what would make her the most happy in life.
I really enjoyed reading 6 Pack Wrangler .
It is well written . The characters are fabulous . Aria is not your typical runaway bride , she is really just a country girl at heart . Wheeler is a hard-working sexy grumpy injured wrangler .
I think this is one wonderful love story
I highly recommend reading this outstanding heart warming romance .

This one made me so happy, I read it twice. All the events could very well be realistic and it entertained me from start to finish. A love at first sight, with, oh, so much heat. A journey that was fast and emotional.
The fact that they both loved horses and ranching I think really helped lol. I enjoy reading anything with horses involved.
Aria and Wheeler were both lacking that something or someone that completed them and it was a witty dialogue between these two, and yes, the serious bits were there to make you feel.
2nd in a series, stand alone, with cameos from 1st book.
I received an ARC thru BookSprout and am voluntarily voicing my own thoughts and opinions.
Em Petrova strikes again! Another great story that makes every red-blooded woman want a pair of Cowboy boots under her bed. Six Pack Wrangler is the second story in this brand new series and Wheeler and Aria are thoroughly endearing.
Two lost souls living a life that suffices, but never really satisfies the deep-seated need for fulfilment. Wheeler is a man ready and willing to help others, but never really acknowledging his own dreams for the future, while Aria has always had big dreams, but let others dictate the direction of her life.
This story has a wonderful plot, loveable characters you just ache to hug, and sends a powerful message that sometimes the simple things are often the best; so grab hold with both hands and never let go.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This is a wonderful book that can be read fairly quickly. The characters are great and the plot flows very nicely. It was also nice to see King and Bellarose (from 6-Pack Rancher) make appearances as well.
I loved the dual POV format. It helps me to really understand the character when I can read their “thoughts”
While you don’t need to read the first book in this series to read this one as they are stand-alones basically, I would recommend reading the first one as it is a wonderful read as well.
There are scenes that should only be read by mature audiences and there are some foul language on occasion. It really isn’t overdone just something that would come up do to the nature of the scene.
When a movie star finds a real cowboy and a life she didn’t even know she was looking for and the great start to a new series!
