I enjoyed reading this Book. It was well written,
Albeit the H “Jayson McBride.” was made out to be a wimp of sorts in the Story. Not sure how to explain without giving away any spoilers.
The way he was put into certain situations was enough for me to keep turning the pages, then when he could have saved the H Celine Northland it turned & she was the one who ended up saving his life.
I truly wished Cheyenne would have written that he was the strongest H who did what was necessary to save her life.
Fast paced book Awesome Awesome book
Enjoyable read,I would highly recommend this book.
A little too much graphic sex. But I am old school. Otherwise thought it had a good story line and enjoyed reading it.
Homerun! wonderful!
I like the author’s writing style
Good book. I enjoyed reading it.
Love the book and the characters. Must read and another romantic cowboy.
Very good
I really enjoyed the fast pace of this story. I look forward to reading more abou this family by this author.
EDIT…. HMMM review indicates I had read it. Here is more thought.
My kindle said I had read it back in 2019, but I did not recognize it at all and really enjoyed reading it. Funny, I recognized characters, but that might be due to having already read book 4 … although I think the characters I read were from another series by this author. I remember Danica’s story happening before this one.
Anyways, it is more thriller than romance for half of it… well… maybe 50-50. I enjoyed both elements. Loved how she saves the day. Really nicely twisted and enjoyable.
She has the worst ‘parents’ (sperm/egg donors). But, that ends up not mattering.
He is just awesome sauce. There is only 1 really steaming sex scene. Clean readers can skip to end of it but not the whole thing … but it is really well written and does move the story forward.
Witty dialog, endearing characters and a plot that was ever evolving keeping the reader thoroughly engaged. A perfect mix of romance, cowboy, suspense and don’t forget the undeniable spark of passion. I loved the storytelling and the flow.
Pretty unbelievable as are most romance novels, but nice to read one that is not all about sex.
A fun light summer read.
The author took an ordinary storyline and turned it into a very entertaining story which was difficult to put down … and when I did, i was reaching for it after a few minutes.
The ‘meat and potatoes’ of the plot is moving the life filled with negativity for a career woman and moving it into a completely different environment … an environment built on cooperation, love and having fun while working hard to achieve goal.
The skills of the author to meld humor into serious areas is the frosting on the cake, so to speak.
I totally loved this book … I’m sure you will too.
Loved the book, but, it ended to soon.should have had one more chapter, to put an end to this story,
I could not put this book down, the story was wonderful. The author does such a wonderful job describing the scenery so you feel like you are there. The characters are down to earth, strong and independent and the story is well written with just the right amount of suspense and romance including a surprising twist to have it all collide with a beautiful ending full of love and family.
The last place Jayson McBride expects to be is on the losing end of a bet and having his ranch invaded by a fashion designer and her entourage filming a commercial for her new clothing line. Unhappy with the current state of things on the ranch…people getting into things they should not, upsetting the animals, leaving gates open, etc. he is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the woman to confront her and insist she make alterations to their shooting location. When she arrives, he does not know whether to stay mad or be impressed after their confrontation and her display with a shotgun. Whatever side emotions she evokes in him, their instant chemistry and attraction seem to top them all. Then seeing her take control after listening to his grievances and make the necessary alterations, he sees a softer side underneath her hard shell that piques his interest and he wants to know more. Maybe it will not be such a hardship having her around for a week after all.
Celine Northland is an up and coming fashion designer who has worked her way to where she is starting from scratch; without the help of her wealthy parents or her trust fund. The only money she ever borrowed from her family account she paid back with interest, not wanting to be dependent on them. An only child from parents who were only children themselves, she grew up sheltered, starving for love and affection, relying on different nannies to raise her instead of her parents; who saw her more as decoration when it suited their needed. Raised in this environment she had no other choice but to form a hard shell around herself and her heart, having few friends and only herself to rely on. Wanting nothing more than to get to Arizona and film her commercial to save her company and herself, she is not prepared for Jayson or the feelings he stirs in her. After he saves her life, they start growing closer forming a bond sharing their pasts and helping each other to heal from past hurts. Finally feeling like everything is falling into place, a shocking turn of events once again threatens Celine’s life and Jayson hopes he can reach her in time. Sometimes the enemy is closer than you think, hiding in plain sight.

Riding Tall 2, Book 1
By: Cheyenne McCray
Narrated by: David Quimby
Cheyenne McCray treats us to Riding Tall 2!!! I am so excited she is continuing her Riding Tall series and this one is not only romantic, but full of deceit and suspense! Jayson McBride has lost a bet and as a result has to have a fashion commercial shot at his ranch. When he meets Celine, the woman in charge, they immediately butt heads. But this impressive woman is more than meets the eye. Impressive,she is a spitfire. Things are not going well for her though. Someone is stealing from her, and danger is lurking. Will this couple find their way to each other and solve the mystery? This enemies to lovers story is fast paced, and exciting. Jayson has that McBride warmth that we have come to love. He is protective and you can feel hhis love even before he realizes it. Celine’s feistiness is what caught me first. Then her vulnerability made her a very real woman. I loved the mystery and suspense that surrounded them and the outcome is unexpected! I loved this beginning to this spinoff series!
David Quimby is the McBride men and I am so glad he is continuing the narration for McCray. He brings out the chivalrous feel of Jayson and keeps Celine strong, yet feminine. Love his narrations and look forward to book 2!

Jayson, however, harbors a secret that cuold rip their relationship apart before it even starts. He saves Celine’s life when her car sweeps away in a dangerous flood. In the end, it turns out the sexy, strong-headed woman just might have saved his. – This is an okay read. I liked Jayson and Celine. He is kind and polite. She grew up with wealthy parents who did not show her love. She is strong and determined. Jayson and Celine fell in love fast. The book ends abruptly. Jayson and Celine will probably be mentioned in future books of this series. I did not like this book well enough to purchase those, however.
I liked the connection between the hero Jayson and heroine Celine. Spoiler alert: The timeline for falling in love was extremely short, although with 3 life threatening incidents, one could understand their bond strengthening. I think the guilt each of them carried around was a bit much! A reference at the end about Celine ensuring her “mistake” wouldn’t be repeated again had to do with that guilt. Overall, the story was entertaining and there was conflict, which added to the story. I would read another work by this author (Loved By You is the story of one of Jayson’s brothers, Justice)
Loved this story!
