They’re enemies—with benefits. But what happens when their secret is revealed… who can make him groan—in every possible way.
Asher isn’t the kind of guy Kinsey Reynolds can take home to meet Daddy. But no matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to keep the sexy man out of her panties. Problem is, he’s responsible for her brother going to prison, and that’s not something easily forgiven. As soon as she thinks she’s ready to kick Asher out of her life—and bed—he sweet-talks his way back, and the temptation is impossible to ignore…
Asher can’t trust anybody, not even a smoldering beauty who claims to have feelings for him. Kinsey wants the whole truth about the man Asher’s been hiding behind his tough-guy façade. But the more she learns about him, the more she fears she might be putting her heart at risk. Can these two opposites who attract create a happily ever after?

Asher Moon has held a steady job in Bail enforcement for years but one bad aim breaks his heart. As another beautifully broken Moon brother Asher can not seem to break the perceived Moon family curse. So he returns to Stokes a hell of the man he was just a few short weeks before. When he spots Kinsey at a party the chemistry is immediate and explosive. Their story is rocky at best. I love Kinsey. She is a strong woman thriving in a traditionally man’s job. This book is well written, witty, passionate, fun and unique. I love revisiting with Mimi, Dane, Z and the gang. This is a wonderful ending to the trilogy but I am sad that it is over.

I believe this is the last book in the Moon Ranch series. It was a fast paced, quick, and easy read.
Asher and Kinsey definitely had chemistry and several hot, steamy scenes. I felt like this book was slightly different from the previous books in that Asher and Kinsey’s relationship immediately began as a sexual relationship. It continued along that line with them never putting much time in to get to know one another. That came later in the book.
By the time the relationship started to be something other than sexual, the book was close to ending. Made me wonder if Asher had known Kinsey better, maybe he would not have had that reaction to what her father said to him.
On another note, after Asher’s last bounty hunting job, I was surprised his boss didn’t suggest he go talk to someone. I didn’t think the old “get out of here until you get yourself together” theory would work in this day and age.
I did enjoy the brothers interactions and their devotion to Mimi. I also like the way Esme and Brennah were so welcoming to Kinsey. I would give this book 3.5 stars.

Another amazing read by Em Petrova, cowboys and falling in love, this is a definite must read. Packed full of cowboys from beginning to end.
A satisfying conclusion to the Moon Ranch trilogy
This story starts with a bang, and
just gets hotter from there. Asher and Kinsey have such explosive chemistry, both when they’re in bed and when they’re fighting. A strong, solid read – I would definitely recommend this book.
I’ve been loving this series and couldn’t wait to read Asher’s story.
Asher is a bounty hunter and his last bounty had some unexpected results. Totally shaken up, he returns home to Stokes but before he heads to Moon Ranch he goes to a friend’s birthday party.
Kinsey Reynolds has had a rough week but decides she needs the diversion of her friend Kelly’s birthday party to relax and unwind. It’s here she meets Asher and even before she gets that first drink they’re dancing but not for long.
Now Kinsey had meant for it to be a one night stand, as did Asher. However they get thrown together again as a pack of coyotes starts attacking ranches in the area. It also comes out that he’s the one who found her brother Trent after he skipped bail, and she’s a bit delusional where her brother’s credibility is concerned.
Here’s the thing, I love a really hot sexy book and this one definitely qualifies, but a lot of those scenes showed up where Kinsey is working. They were in the middle of nowhere, but I felt that even though Asher and her have that intense attraction, he totally disrespected her and her position as a Game Warden.
This is my least favorite of the series, I thought the others were much better story wise and I could see the love all the way through them. This one not so much. With this one I think I would have liked more story and romance, with fewer of those Kindle melting scenes.

Can they get past all the obstacles in their way? Will they solve the issue with the coyotes? Will Asher go back to being a Bounty hunter?
“Chiseled and Cherished” (Moon Ranch Book 3) by Em Petrova is an excellent read. I loved Asher and Kinsey’s story. This is a wonderful addition to this series. This story is packed with romance, passion, hot cowboys, family, humor, entertaining characters, and more. I hope this isn’t the last we’ll see of these entertaining characters. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, cowboys, family, and series.
This Cowboy romance is simply said a fine story. It feels as the last story about the Moon brothers and if so then this is a good farewell story. The storyline is good and the characters are just very smashing. Overall the story is one of those you could read on and bon and on but of course all stories have to end somewhere and this family drama ends on a good note so all is well. This story really deserves the fabulous four stars I am giving it here.

This was a great story. It was well written and fast paced. The chemistry between the characters was sizzling hot. This book has everything you need to keep you turning pages hot sexy men, steamy scenes and some conflict thrown in. I cannot wait for what this author writes next.

I really enjoyed this book. A powerfully engaging storyline, complex characters and intense emotions make for a book that quickly captures and keeps your attention. Whew, the attraction and chemistry between Asher and Kinsey is elemental and incendiary! Toss in family drama, boatloads of tension, tons of turmoil, past hurts and baggage and simply standing on opposing sides of an issue, create an epic amount of obstacles for this couple to work their way through and overcome. This is such a great series and I have enjoyed each of the books in it. This one though is by far my favorite. I am posting an independent, impartial review.
And now its Asher’s turn!!
I have really been enjoying this series! It has been fun to read about each of these brothers coming home, dealing with their demons and finding love at the same time. None of them have had an easy time with it but I loved watching the character development.
Asher is no different. He is a bounty hunter who’s last job left him shaken so he decided to head home to regroup. In many ways, he still doesn’t feel like he belongs but yet he has a strong desire to stay.
Kinsey has so many balls up in the air she is just trying to get by. She’s dealing with family issues, work issues, town issues and then this hot man comes home and sweeps her off her feet. Most of the time, he irritates her to no end but yet she can’t deny the attraction.
It was fun watching the two of them banter while getting to know each other. Forcing them to have to work together was interesting to see the dynamics but also it allowed them to get to know each other outside of the bedroom.
Asher has faced many ugliness in his life, first from a father that found life out of a bottle worth more than his sons and when he is finally gone, the brothers must learn to heal and their bond helps them do this, but Asher never forgets being the “no good moon”, and this affects what has started between him and Kinsey. The chemistry between this couple is electrifying, but they are at odds. Asher hired to remove the threat to the Ranchers livelihoods, and Kinsey wanting to preserve life. Until the choice is taken away they will work to do what needs to be done. This was a great ending to the brother trilogy and really sucks you into the town and the homecoming of Moons.

This is a smoking hot opposites attract/enemies to lovers story. The characters are complex and in Asher’s case beautifully flawed. The story draws the reader in and tumbled them about in all the feels.
Kinsey Reynolds is a game warden in her hometown of Stokes. Asher Moon is a burned out bounty hunter who has seen too much tragedy. He is on leave from his job and goes home to Stokes where he meets Kinsey at a party. To say they hit it off is an understatement, that is until she learns Asher is the person who put her brother in jail. They can’t fight their attraction for each other and eventually get their HEA.

Loved finally getting to read Ashers story and how just attending a friend birthday party can totally change your life for the better

The last of the Moon brothers, Asher comes home shaken by an event that occurs during his last job. Kinsey is a tough as nails game warden trying to keep her family from falling apart. The two start our as a fling but can’t stay away from each other when they start working together. The steamiest of the three books, the plot moves quickly and keep the readers interest. I love that these three brothers were able to get past their upbringing and make something of themselves and the ranch that they were raised on.

Asher and Kinsey are so hot together!
After a tragic incident when capturing a fugitive, Asher walks away from his life as a bounty hunter and heads back to the family ranch. It’s a bittersweet homecoming, as his memories of his abusive father are gradually replaced by the loving improvements made by his brothers as they all work to repair the Moon name and reputation.
Kinsey is a game warden, currently dealing with a grieving father and her wayward brother, who she finds out a little too late was brought in by Asher. After meeting at a party and relishing their instant connection, they have to figure out how to work together to combat the coyotes threatening all the ranches in the area and try to come to some truce over his locking up her brother.
Throughout it all, their chemistry is almost overwhelming as these two simply cannot keep their hands off each other! Whew! This is a very steamy book as a result, yet the author is careful to keep the emotional growth in step throughout the development of their relationship.
It was so good to finally see all three Moon boys, and Mimi, basking in the glow of this new, peaceful chapter in their lives. It’s a wonderfully satisfying HEA all around for everyone. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This story makes me think about the law enforcement policy that it is compulsory for the law enforcer to meet with a psychiatrist if they shoot someone, regardless the circumstances (or at least so says television). If this story is based on some truth, then I guess Bounty Hunters don’t have that same policy.
