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?

Back at the Moon Ranch, this is about the 3rd and final Moon brother, Asher. He’s made a good life for himself as a bounty hunter, despite his horrible childhood, until a pickup goes sideways and there’s an innocent gone now. He heads back home to contemplate his life, his future. PTSD here, I believe, but not mentioned.
He hooks up with Kinsey, and it’s shock and awe. They find out they have so much in common, LoL post hook up. Revelations of all sorts throughout the read.
Kinsey and Asher team together to rid the area of predators and this is where it got a bit controversial for them, and me, on the methods. Also, timing is more critical than was implied, but literary license allows for “deviations”.
The heat between these two was awesomely scorching and detailed. I could’ve used fewer sessions, when I felt it interrupted the flow of the actual story, but that was just my preference for this particular read.
A great journey indeed. I do so love these Moon “boys” and hope there are more hidden around somewhere.

An entertaining book three in the Moon Ranch series! It is well written, well developed, engaging, emotionally deep, steamy, and consistent with drama, ups and downs, and twists and turns. The characters are likeable; the chemistry between them is off the charts! Definitely recommended!

Coming home to Moon Ranch and finding what you didn’t know you were missing
Chiseled and Cherished is the third book in the Moon Ranch series and is about Asher and Kinsey. These two are very different but yet they still find each other. What was meant to be a one night stand to blow off some steam for both of them instead does not quite turn out that way. Instead they are brought together again when danger is threatening the ranches in the area in the form of a pack of coyotes. Asher is the youngest of the Moon brothers and he has come back to the family ranch to try and get himself back together. His life as a bounty hunter was good until the last job which had tragic consequences. Kinsey is the local game warden who has had a lot to deal with lately. Her father has recently died and her brother is a screw-up, even if she cannot see it at times. Add in issues with work and the town and she is really stressed. They are brought together as they track and deal with the coyote pack in the area. They do butt heads along the way but they also have smoking hot chemistry between them and some very sizzling hot scenes.
Asher is a bounty hunter but his last job went sideways and he doesn’t think he can do it anymore. ow he is back in his hometown helping his brothers on the family ranch. He meets Kinsey at a friends birthday party and they have an instant connection. They share an amazing night and go their separate ways. That is until Kinsey is called out to his family’s ranch because coyotes have attacked an animal on the ranch. Sparks fly between them as she investigates the scene. All the ranchers are getting upset over the coyotes but there’s only so much Kinsey and her co-workers can do. Kinsey and Asher get together again and then she learns from her father who he is. He’s the bounty hunter that caught and turned her brother in. What does this mean for them? Can they move past what her brother’s done to be together? What will happen with the coyotes?
This is a great story that will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This is book three in the Moon Ranch series and the final book of the series. There is a past between Asher and Kinsey and as bad as they are for one another, they are drawn together like strong magnets that will not let go. Asher has to return home to the family ranch and with that return opens the flood gates to a few other challenges and quirks that he just wants to ignore. Of course, the icing to his cake is the arrival of Kinsey. Does this mean that there is a HEA in store for this challenging couple or does the hard decision have to made to exit one anthers life for good. It is bittersweet knowing that this is the last book in the series but I look forward to reading more of this author’s work. Enjoy!

There be cowboys – the Moons are back!
This series is a mix of cowboy hotness and family drama with Asher and Kinsey amping it up to the next super-hot degree… Before they knew who the other was, their attraction knew no bounds. When reality hit, however, guilt, regret and a whole host of other emotions moved in. This was complicated family like no other and they had to figure it out or anything they could have, would be lost…
What followed was a tantalizing mix of sexy and uncertainty with loyalty vying against chemistry and love. Kinsey was caught in the middle, knowing her brother wasn’t as he seemed, and Asher was not the completely heartless villain. With her family pulling the heartstrings it was hard for her to follow her pummeled heart which Asher tempted so much. And oh was he tempting! Asher was a Moon and he had sexy, brooding bad boy down to an art. Seeing what he was going through meant I fell just as hard as Kinsey…
*I happily reviewed this story
*Thank you to Booksprout
Asher is the youngest of the Moon brothers and thought he would never come home but here he is. Asher meets Kinsey at a party and knows he has to have her. They both have things in their lives that hurt and maybe they can help each other heal. I really enjoyed reading this book.
A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This one is book three and is a standalone read. This one is about Asher and his struggles where he goes back to his families ranch. Then Kinsey who deals with her own family struggles. Both learn to deal with their own struggles.
This is the 3rd book in this series and its Asher’s story. Asher is the youngest Moon brother and he is burnt out. He has come home to recharge and regroup. Asher and Kinsey meet and boom the rest is history as they say. Like most couples they face obstacles but they overcome them. Its a cracking story with twists and turns, romance and steamy scenes with great characters. I have loved reading this series.

I haven’t had the opportunity to read the previous books in this series but I plan to. This storyline is about Asher and Kinsey and is the 3rd and final installment in this series. Asher is a bounty hunter who’s last job left him shaken so he decided to head home to regroup. Kinsey Is going through a touch time. She is distracted and pulled in too many directions. Kingsley has problems in every facet of her life right now, her family, her job and even things in the town she lived in. When Asher approaches her, it isn’t long before he sweeps her right off her feet but he also drives her crazy. They are forced to work together and get to know each other personally.

This is a book that is HOT! Make sure you have a fan going on your e-reader AND you! I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. The author did a fantastic job of combining family drama, animal attacks and sensuality.
Archer Moon is a bounty hunter. He has made several appearances in the previous books of his older brothers and we finally get to his story. Something happens on his last job that has him in a tail spin. He goes home to Stokes but not to the ranch where memories of his deceased father and his upbringing haunt him. He goes to a party of one of his high school friends and in walks, Kinsey Reynolds, one of the local game wardens. The rest of the story is for you to read but again have a fan going!
I adored the dual POV format. Getting into the characters’ minds really helps me to identify with them. I adored both of these characters. The road to their HEA is one that was so well written that the pages flew by. I was very disappointed that the story ended. (I know like really the story can’t go on indefinitely but I adored all of the characters in this series! If it makes sense, it was like saying good-bye to some really wonderful friends.)
While this is the third of the series, and the previous brothers and their ladies make multiple appearances, you don’t have to read the prior stories but I would highly recommend it. If you love a sexy bad-boy cowboy, and really what woman doesn’t, then you will definitely need to give this and the series a try. All three of the Moon boys will just make you want more also. This is a highly sexy read, again you will need a fan. That being said, no one under the age of 18 should read this.
Kinsey is a game warden and animal lover, Asher has come home to the ranch after an incident as a bounty hunter goes sideways. When they met at a party neither of them knew each other but got close fast. They both have complicated family issues to deal with and I loved how the author brings them to their HEA. Great story line.

Enjoyable 4 ½ stars – Asher and Kinsey’s one night started it all. Even though it is a fast-paced romance, the attraction between them feels natural. I like how Kinsey’s character is very passionate about her beliefs but at the same time knows when to compromise. She has compassion and accepts Asher’s situation. Asher is very considerate of Kinsey’s feelings. His character is actually very sensitive. This is an enjoyable read. Very steamy too! [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
This is quite interesting storyline. Enemies with benefits..
One of the Moon’s brothers, Asher, is back on the ranch . He needs peace, he needs to regroup and figure out what next.
When Kinsey crosses his path ,sparks flying. She hates him for being responsible that her brother is in jail.
Her body didn’t get that memo, chemistry between them is sizzling..Will benefits turn to relationship?
Enjoy reading!

Asher finally comes home after a tragic event at work. Game warden Kinsey never dates much. She is amazed at her reaction to the youngest Moon brother especially since she learns more about him. I liked this underdogs set of Stand alone stories about each brother. This one has great characters and plot just like the rest.

An emotional mess and burning out, Asher is done and comes home to find himself after an innocent dies on his last job as a bounty hunter. After a one night stand at a party, he comes face to face with her at his first meeting with game warden Kinsey. Things change at a whirlwind pace for both of them, but not without lots of angst and emotions. With differing opinions on how best to address the coyote crisis plaguing local ranchers, their story becomes a rollercoaster of emotions with lots of action that takes the reader on their journey as they find their happiness. “Chiseled and Cherished”, book 3 of the Moon Ranch series stands alone and is one not to be missed.
**I was gifted “Chiseled and Cherished” from Booksprout** My review is my opinion and based on my reading.
4.5 Stars
And they’re rock solid too apparently. These guys have kept me on my toes throughout the series, but I do believe Asher has my heart. He and Kinsey hit it off immediately, but there’s a problem, he picked up her brother and he don’t want there to be trouble, but danger if he can stay away with everything going on. I love their story!

I’ve loved reading about these Moon brothers, although I preferred the first 2. This one had so much sex, I just wanted more story.
I enjoyed the interaction between the brothers, as kids they had a tough life and it’s nice to see them come together as adults and heal.
Great series, I look forward to seeing what else this author has out next.
