I loved the Survivor Dude Ranch trope! Interesting family, clear line to more stories. This first one is really good. Interesting information on horses. Good angst between the characters. Easy read. Hot sex.
A Country boy with a City girl makes for a perfect romance story. Add in a reality show and it gets even better. I have to say that this book was so fun to listen to. Both the writing and the narration gripped my attention the whole time and the ending has me wanted the next book coming up.
I loved this book. I mean, what’s better than a sexy cowboy? Clint is doing his best to help keep the ranch running no matter what when along comes Ever with an offer he might not want to resist and boy does he resist. At first. He and Ever are like oil and water. He thinks he can scare her off, but doesn’t have much luck.
Stella is still pretty new to me in the world of narrating. She was fantastic as Ever. All sass and I love it! Aaron was absolutely delicious as Clint. I mean hello cowboy!
This is the first book in the Ryker Ranch Series. Clint and Ever’s story is sweet, funny, and steamy. Clint is the oldest of the Ryker sibblings. He is a handsome cowboy, ranch owner, caring, and protective. I like his determination. Ever is a TV producer from Los Angeles. She is independent, and confident. They are opposites attract and they share an instant attraction and a sizzling chemistry. The family bound in this story is wonderful. The secondary characters are great and intriguing. Momma is a beautiful character. Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter did a great job with the narration. This is the perfect Summer read, easy to listen to. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Bucked Off, Buck and Penny’s story.
With the family ranch in desperate need of an influx of cash, Clint’s only option is to have a reality show film on the property. He may not be happy about it but it gets even worse when the show’s producer, Ever, rubs him the wrong way. They say opposites attract but can Clint and Ever go from enemies to lovers? Can you really fall for someone who you think hates you? This book is not just a cowboy romance. It is filled with the sense of family that leaves the reader wanting more. I cannot wait for more in this series.
Awesome Story & Narration Sweet & Spicy
Saddle Up: An Opposites Attract Romance Ryker Ranch
By: Kim Loraine
Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock, Stella Hunter
I loved everything about this book, from Kim Loraine’s wonderful writing style to the storylines and characters she created to Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter fabulous narration. The story swept me right in, grabbing my attention and holding it captive the entire time, once I started I did not want to put it down. The characters are realistic and easy to relate to. I adored the lead characters, actually you can not help but fall in love with those swoon worthy Ryker cowboys. This first book is Clint and Ever’s story, Clint is the oldest of the Ryker brothers and has taken the responsibility of helping run the ranch. After being burned by ex, who left him and the ranch in the red, they need to come up with a solution to save the ranch. When an offer from Hollywood comes in with a proposal fo a reality show to be filmed on his ranch he is not thrilled with the idea but it may be just what the ranch needs. Ever comes to the Ryker Ranch dressed like the city girl she is and she really likes what she sees or rather she likes who she see, hot cowboys. She is so out of her element it is not funny, ok, maybe it is. I love how Clint played off of that and gets her to have to spend three weeks working and living on the ranch so she knows what to expect for the contestants of the proposed show. The chemistry between them is smoking hot and I loved how everything plays out for them. The book is cleverly plotted and there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, a touch of angst, some great humor, heartfelt moments and hot romance. Kim Loraine, thank you for this entertaining and enjoyable story, I am looking forward to what comes for the Rykers in this awesome series.
I listened to the Audible edition, Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter are talented narrators and voice artists. They do an awesome job bringing the characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality. Aaron’s portrayal of Clint is spot on, he perfects the role of smoking hot cowboy naturally and with ease. Stella’s Ever portrayal of Ever was perfection too. You could hear how much heart each put into their work as they capture the characters emotions & passion which can be heard in their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this awesome listen
The Ryker brothers run the ranch that’s been in the family for generations. They’re on the brink of bankruptcy when their mother arranges for a potential contract to host a reality TV series. This should be interesting! The chemistry between the TV producer and eldest brother, Clint, will make you want to take a cold shower! Great HEA!
Saddle Up: An Opposites Attract Romance
Ryker Ranch
By: Kim Loraine
Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock, Stella Hunter
I love cowboys. Do I need to say more? This is such a fun and ruggedly provocative listen! Ever Wilson has approached the Ryker Ranch to do a reality show. With the beautiful ranch as the backdrop, and the good looking Ryker brothers, she is sure to have a hit on her hands. But she has hit a snag. Clint Ryker has a counter offer. He will allow the show if she comes to the ranch and does a test run. She agrees to 3 weeks, after all, how hard can it be? And we are off to learn just how easy it is to fall in love! Kim Loraine has once again stolen my heart. Clint is so protective of his family, his ranch and Ever that it’s impossible not to fall for him! And Ever is so sweet and I love her journey to finding what truly is her path. Add in the other brothers and Clint’s mom, witty banter, incredible chemistry and you know, Darlin’ it has to be good!
Now the casting of cowboys can be difficult. They do have a particular sound in my mind. Aaron Shedlock pulls it off without a hitch! His slight twang, his protective inflections and saying of the word “Darlin'” had me melting. Stella Hunter is new to me, and she is fabulous! She easily became Ever and really enhanced the role with her nuances and voices. I love this team, and hope to hear them continue the series!

A new author to me. I thought this was such a great read and I enjoyed it, although it was very quick. I wished it was longer. This is an insta-love story. I do hope there are more books to follow about the cowboys on Ryker Ranch. The story is about Ever and Clint. Ever goes to a ranch in Montana with hopes of getting her new reality show off the ground. The Ryker ranch is the perfect spot to host the show. Clint is the oldest.. He needs the capital to make the ranch a success again and the reality show is the only thing that can help at the moment but once Clint sets his eyes on Ever, he knows his life will never be the same.
This was a great story and was very entertaining. Once I started I could not put it down. The chemistry between the hero and heroine is sizzling hot. I would recommend this to anyone that loves a great love story.
