The men of the Marsh family have … 5 stars
The men of the Marsh family have spent their lives riding hard, in and out of the saddle.
None of them have any plans on settling down. Falling in love just isn’t for them. Or so they thought.
Book One: Feels Like the First Time
When Clint Marsh pulls a woman from an overturned semi on a county road in Florida, he expects only to do a good deed then get back on his motorcycle and head home.
It doesn’t quite work out that way. The woman turns out to be Lily Ridenger, his first love, and the one woman who has the ability to turn his thoughts to sin with a single look. She’s in need of a place to stay and he has room to spare. So what if they have unfinished business between them? So what if there are still unresolved feelings? Chances are they’ll hook up, have sex hot enough to start a fire and go their separate ways. At least that’s what Clint thought…
He thought wrong.
Book Two: When You Least Expect It
Cam Marsh figured he was following in his older brother, Colton’s footsteps. A confirmed bachelor. Not that he had anything against settling down. He’d just never met a woman he wanted to settle down with.
Then out of the blue the first girl he ever loved shows up next door. Ellie Whitehorse has inherited her father’s ranch, such as it is, and seeing her brings back feelings he’d all but forgotten, along with inspiring some new ones. Maybe he and Ellie will hook up again, relive old times and have some good times together. Nothing serious.
Or so he thought.
Book Three: Colton’s Memory
When Colton Marsh gets a call about a classic car that’s broken down near the belly dancing school run by his best friend’s mother, he figures he’ll get the car up and running, collect his pay and then head on back to his ranch to start mowing the southern pasture.
Wrong. Memory Wells lights a fire of lust inside him stronger than anything he’s ever experienced, and she makes it quite clear that she’s as hot for him as he is for her. So when her car has to be towed to his shop for repairs and she accepts his offer for a ride back to the bed and breakfast, Colton figures he just might get lucky.
Lucky doesn’t even touch what’s in store for Colton.

Cowboys and Supernatural … what more could you ask for? I really enjoyed this box set of all three books in this series. There is a bit of inst love going on, but that is expected when Destiny is involved. The narration is done really well and helps bring the stories to life. Definitely a must listen for people who love the supernatural and yet want something unique as well.
Audio Review: Untamed by Ciana Stone (Author), Eric Dove (Narrator)
Untamed is a cacophony of genres. Stone mixes tempting romance, alpha heroes and hints of paranormal with an eerie backdrop of suspense. Though the recipe has a tendency to falter at times, narrator, Eric Dove keeps hearts invested in the unpredictability of it all. Add in the fact that the adventure never wavers and you have a thriller of a time.
These playboys meet their matches and instantly fall in love, I love that. The paranormal elements were a surprise and are very intriguing. These second chance love and magic combinations can stand-alone but also smoothly connect as well. Plot focuses is great, drama is adventurous and intense, familial support is amazing. Very well written series. Eric Dove is an excellent narrator, one of the best I’ve ever heard. I was provided a free copy of the audiobook and am voluntarily reviewing.
There are three books in this set. I have read two so far.
Feels like the first time. (BOOK 1) 3 stars
I guess I shouldn’t call this Insta love just because Clint and Lily had a past. When they reconnected, they were combustible.
The storyline with Lily having to start over because of her ex husband’s behavior was kind of interesting. Suddenly a paranormal twist was tossed into the mix along with some action and suspense.
As I’m thinking about what path this story is going to take next, Lily does something dumb, things work out, and Lily and Clint have their HEA.
A fast-paced, steamy, romantic suspense that was a little disappointing at the end. I also listened to this book via Audible books.
WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT (BOOK 2) 4 stars
This is the second book in the trilogy. This book seemed longer, more detailed, and there was more of a mystery in the plot.
The similarities with book one were, Cam and Ellie had a history, and there was paranormal involvement, and they fell in love quickly, and Ellie also managed to do something dumb.
This was a fast paced, romantic suspense that was VERY strong on the paranormal side. There was an evil person, some violence, a discussion of light and dark, a twist that was not expected, and a good dose of magic.
With all of that going on, Cam and Ellie had their HEA, but I could have used an epilogue because their HEA was really kind of weird. I also listened to the Audiobook.
COLTON’S MEMORY (BOOK 3) 3 stars
This book started out as a regular (non paranormal) romance. It suddenly morphed into a straight paranormal romance.
Clint and Memory’s story ties so completely into the first two books, I was surprised. I guess you could read it as a standalone, but I’m not really sure. Since I read the first two books and knew what was being discussed in the 3rd, it is difficult for me to decide. info
I think you would be ok reading just this book, because Colton, Clint, Cam, Lily, Ellie, and Eldrich, have to go through the background info to bring Memory up to speed.
This is a fast paced story. You get just enough information to establish a bit of background for the two main characters and then the storyline morphs into a paranormal tale.
At least it tied up the loose ends from the first two books. I also listened to the Audiobook “Untamed” which include the three book series.
