A wonderful opposites attract story that will grab you in very quickly and not put down until you finished it. I love a good cowboy story and was not disappointed with this one. Look forward to the next one
This was a swoony cowboy romance that had me falling for the characters and their story. I really enjoyed this book.
Ever and Clint meet when she comes to his ranch to offer him a TV show. Ever does not have any family but is a city girl through and through. Clint just does not think she can make it on the ranch so he adds a condition to his acceptance of her offer of a TV show. He is very pleasantly surprised. Their story moves slowly at first, but the chemistry is like rocket fuel on fire. I love the backstory, it is strong and unique. The family setting, the small town, the characters all fit together to form a perfect love story without too much drama to get in the way. Clint is strong and loyal and sexy and protective, all of the best parts of a hero. Ever is independent, strong, makes it on her own and has just a hint of vulnerability and sadness in her life. I love all of the brothers and just hope we get to meet them all again even Sammy who does not make an appearance in this story. Each brother and Sera, their sister should have their own story.

I love this story. The characters are so lovable and entertaining. I laughed, cried and even did a little yelling. Read about a family that will heal and grow. There is romance, some serious attraction, heat, humor and love. I can’t wait to read about more of the family in future books. The Ryker’s are a great family!

She had to get out of her comfort zone to really find what she needed. He was worse than she was. He had a good reason but he did not see that at first. They broke each other before they built each other up. I guess it does work if you try hard enough to make it work.

I liked that Ever came to the ranch to pitch a show set on the ranch to Clint. I enjoyed both of these characters and thought this was a good story.

This a great beginning to a new series of books. Super sexy cowboys and lots of sexual tension! I just wish the book had been a little longer and a little more detailed at certain points. Overall, great little book!

Cowboy books are fun. Love reading about men who are hard working and not afraid to get a little messy. City girl means country boy and falls in love with the open country, the animals, and it’s people. It’s a no brainer, right? It’s an insta meet-lust, but there’s a little alpha-ism to it and a little forbidden-ness. Loved it!
What more could you want but a cowboy story. Clint is working his family’s ranch but is still reeling after his ex ran off with the family money. Trying to do what he needs to do, he his floored when his mama tells him that visitors are coming in the hopes of using the ranch for a tv show for a bit of money. What he doesn’t expect is Ever. A beautiful woman who he keeps fighting his exceptions for. Ever is on her last legs at her job and if this fails then she is out. What she doesn’t expect is Clint. After three weeks on the ranch it’s time to think things through. Will Clint be able to trust someone else or has his ex branded him for life??? Can Ever realise that she may not be alone again? A great story with a cat and mouse feel to it. I do hope there will be stories for the other brothers and sister coming soon as I would really like to read about them.
This is pretty much an instant love romance. Clint is a bitter ranch owner sense his ex left him and took all the ranchs money. Ever is a producer that wants to do a reality show at the ranch. What will happen when they meet?

This is a short sweet story with low heat. Ever and Clint’s meeting is a bit of a savior in disguise for both of them. Clint’s ex took off with the farms money and now they are barely staying afloat. Ever is trying to recover from a disastrous Reality Show she produced that didn’t take.
The story is a bit loose and a little contrived but both characters are likeable enough that you can just go with the flow. There is a lot of ogling and build up to them getting together, I however never really felt the chemistry. While I’m glad it wasn’t an angst fest there just wasn’t enough meat in the story to really take it to the next level of connection.
There were some really sweet moments and the easy acceptance of Ever by Clint’s family was pretty nice. So if you are looking for a light read with no heavy lifting with a pretty predictable storyline then this will work in a pinch.

I just loved Ever and Clint’s story it was a great read that had me laughing out loud at times. This is a great little read the storyline was good and even though these two clashed, to begin with, it was great getting to know them. It is a great romance I really liked it.
Hete we have a really good cowboy story. It has a solid and good storyline and well written characters. The landscaping descriptions and overall descriptions about the people their thoughts and longings and needs and wants … Are just really good. So overall this story is very well deserving the four stars I am giving it here.

Fantastic, heartwarming and really enjoyable. – Perfect romantic story with great characters.
I do not know why and if there’s one particular reason but I loved this story so much that I’m giving it a 5 star review. I think the whole picture just did it for me. It has everything I’m looking for in a romance book. It has connection between main characters that is building up and every day they discover some new feelings. It has this reserve and distance between them in the first instance, even if both of them are fighting the feelings that try to overcome them. I’m really glad and grateful to the author that this was not another “jump head first in” type of story. I loved how I could experience the characters’ development and see how certain experiences and events were changing their view on the world and past in their own lives.
Everything in this story is perfect for me, the main and secondary characters without which I don’t think this all would work. The beginning, the middle of the book and the ending were nicely thought through, complimenting each other and plot just flowed effortlessly forcing me not to put the book down and reading way way past my bedtime, which is already quite stretched. Fantastic, heartwarming and really enjoyable.
This was an awesome book that I really enjoyed. The story and characters grabbed me from the beginning and I couldn’t stop reading. I loved the characters and watching them grow together, they were well written and went well together. I found this book amazing with great word building making me feel apart of the story and watching it unfold in front of me. A definite must read for any fan and I can’t wait to read more from this author!!!

Sometimes you’ll meet people who don’t stop long enough to make deep relationships. They’re in too much of a hurry than to have more than casual acquaintances. But when you find someone that fills all those empty holes, grab on with all you’ve got and don’t let go. Clint and Ever come from different worlds yet discover they have more in common than anyone could have guessed. At first both are afraid to believe what is right in front of them. But with time and circumstances (and a slight nudge or two from family), they decide to take a chance on forever.

Oh boy! A spicy cowboy romance is perfect on a cold winters night! Before anyone else can claim Clint – I just want to state that he’s MINE! Lol! Yes. I loved this cowboy romance that much! A perfectly written with a cast of characters that introduces the city girl – Ever to Clint Ryker and his clan. You’ll love this feel-good romance and loving the hea! Let’s hope we find more stories of the Ryker clan in the near future!
No fraternizing clause
Clint Ryker is a cowboy, a decent guy who just got dumped and his money cleaned out by his ex.
His ranch is in trouble and a lifeline cones along in the form of producer Ever Wilson who is looking at his ranch as a location for a reality show. (Um, a location manager would do all the negotiating and the location contract, just sayin’. Not the producer).
It’s hot and sweet and well written with good characters. And of course, there’s that pesky no fraternizating clause.
I do wish there was more time in between Jess, his ex and Ever, it was only two months.
Recommend.

Clint and Ever’s love story is beautiful and it’s not just a love story between two people but of a whole family. The Ryker’s love each other and they support each other through thick and thin. Saddle Up is a fantastic read and I absolutely loved it from the first page until the last. The writing is great, the characters are lovable and the story is filled with humor, drama, steam and a heartwarming ending.
The interaction between Ever and Clint was great, they are both feeling things for the other that they don’t want to. The idea to send Ever back to the city by getting her to work on the ranch leads to some very interesting results. I highly recommend reading this book if you like cowboy romances.
