What do you get when you get Renee Rose and Vanessa Vale together? Shifter freaking hotness! Holy cow, my kindle is still too hot too handle!
Boyd Wolf, Rodeo Champion, Hot Cowboy, and Sexual Dynamo! Yeah, I think we all need a Boyd Wolf in our lives! Audrey Ames, Intelligent, Caring, and the focus of a Hot Cowboy! These two were awesome together. Cocky cowboy meets nerdy hot doctor, YES PLEASE!
This story was great, it had some bad guys, some bull riding, some Boyd riding (oops did I say that), and a small town ob gyn that has captured the hearts of everyone she meets. It had romance, suspense, hotness, and a ranch full of cowboy Wolf shifters!
I like Renee Rose and I like Vanessa Vale, together these too were fantastic! I honestly can’t wait for more books about Wolf Ranch, and I truly hope that Boyd’s brother, Rob, is the next book. He needs to find some happiness….maybe with Audrey’s half sister? Hmmm…anyway, I am going to keep reading this series, and I recommend it to you if you want to get you hot shifter on!
Really enjoyed this book, liked the characters ofBoyd and Audrey. Hope to get more of Rob Boyd’s brother, and definitely want more of Audrey’s little sister. Enjoyable, entertaining, just enough spice. Looking forward to the next one.
The beginning of this new series sets the stage for some interesting encounters.
There’s just a small, all male pack here and they are all more or less waiting to meet their mates.
When one of them, the rodeo champion, gets the first whiff of his true mate, the disaster happens.
Concentrating on her, he gets gored by the bull and the locum doctor at the rodeo races with him to the hospital.
Now how do you explain a shifters healing abilities to a human doctor when that is absolutely forbidden?
Simple, you lie!
But what if this doctor is your future mate?
Read and find out!
Holy Hotness with a cowboy hat! This one will grab hold of you from the start and keep you captivated until the very end!
It has been a long time since I have been able to sink my teeth into a good paranormal romance, but boy did I ever pick a fabulous one to lead me back to my roots. These two authors gave me a story I couldn’t leave behind.
Boyd Wolf is all the swoon. A sexy shifter with a heart of gold, Boyd is not really a settle down kind of guy. He is a champion bull rider and is always read to move on to the next town. However, when he meets Audrey, the Dr. filling in at the rodeo near his home town, his wolf recognizes her immediately.
I could not put this one down. I loved every second of Audrey and Boyd’s story and was a little sad that it was over. I can’t wait to take my next trip to Wolf Ranch!!!!
I am loving this new series and especially the shifters and their human mate, the best is when the inner wolf takes over and knows what it wants and Boyd is sex on a stick and is determined but second guesses his wolf also when he falls for Dr. Audrey who is cautious , he is a player.
This has it all they are perfect and I routed for them so hard they bring the push and pull with hottness to a whole new level.
This is not a typical genre that I read, but when I saw it was written by the Rose-Vale duo, I had to read it. Glad I did.
This is going to be a fun escape from our day to day, “normal” lives.
Shape-shifting, would you like it if you could? I would, but I think I’d want to be a dragon!
Loved this story, and cannot wait for the next steamy story!
I’ve read steamy cowboy books by Vanessa Vale. I’ve read hot alpha shifter books by Renee Rose. When I found out these two authors were teaming up to write books about cowboy shifters? I couldn’t get my hands on this book fast enough! I just knew I’d found a new favorite shifter series. And if this book is an indication of how this series is going to be? I was absolutely right!
Boyd is a bull rider. A fun loving, playboy bull rider. But underneath his flirty ways, he’s hiding hurt, pain, and rejection. He’s just moving through life, taking it day by day, not really having a direction, or a goal in life. Until he gets a glimpse of a woman who grabs his attention, and won’t let go! Now he just has to find a way to make her see that he isn’t what she thinks.
Audrey has worked hard to become who she is. She’s happy with herself, and her life, but there is still something missing. She wants the family she didn’t have growing up. And even though Boyd is everything she didn’t know she wanted in a man, she doesn’t think he can give her what she’s missing in life.
These two! There is chemistry, a molten lava heat that connects them from the very beginning. But there is so much that stands between them, keeping them apart. I really wasn’t sure they were going to be able to work things out, honestly. But in the end, love always wins, and the authors pulled off an HEA that was spectacular! There were so many surprising twists and turns, I was kept guessing right through until the end! A great story, with wonderful characters, and an ending that stunned me!

I love this book. From beginning to end, it kept my attention. Beautiful storyline, sexy cowboys and tons of action to keep you hooked.
I loved this book. It was fun and kept my attention the whole time. There is plenty of action, lies, jealousy, steam and more. The characters are drawn to one another. The problem is Boyd is hiding his true nature. Audrey is a doctor who cares for the cowboys at the rodeo. Can they have a relationship? Can love conquer the rodeo and it’s belt buckle bunnies? Who do you trust ? How when the person you love is constantly surrounded by women that you think is more beautiful ? Check it out and see. So worth it! I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy from the author. I can not wait to read the next book! These two authors know how to keep you on edge!
First book in a new series and it’s off to a great start which sets the stage very well for future books. I found Audrey a wonderfully relatable character and while I didn’t always like Boyd that much they were great together. While this is absolutely a standalone story it does hint to a bit of an ongoing story arc. Looking forward to more.
Rough by Renee Rose & Vanessa Vale is the First book in the Wolf Ranch Series. This is the story of Audrey Ames and Boyd Wolf. Audrey has moved to the small town of Montana to work with her medical degree which leads her to help out on the Rodeo circuit. This is where she meets Boyd who she is immoderately attracted to but has learned her lesson on getting involved with his playboy type who seems to be hiding something. Boyd is the youngest in his family and feels every bit of it along with the guilt of his parents death. Since he doesn’t really feel wanted or needed on the ranch, Boyd has taken to the Rodeo Circuit where he is very popular…especially with the ladies. But Boyd is also a wolf shifter who knows when he meets his mate and that is the human Dr. Audrey. Of course he can’t reveal what / who he really and when he is injured and Audrey has questions about his injury that he can’t really answer…his pack has him keep an eye on her. Enjoyed this book!!
I was excited to start reading this as I love both authors and jumped at the chance to read an advanced copy of the book. I am intrigued now with this new series. We have shifters in plain hiding of the humans. In this story we have Boyd who is the town man-whore but immediately recognizes his mate and only wants her. I actually thought it was sweet and endearing that he had to convince Audrey of his intentions considering his past. He was surprisingly mature and I found myself falling for him from the beginning. There’s not a lot of drama and I like that there’s no angst. I had a harder time with Audrey but understood why she couldn’t stay away from Boyd. I also liked that there wasn’t a drawn out conflict when she finds out who he really is. Their relationship is passionate and intense. Although we don’t get an epilogue in the actual story, there is bonus content you want to pick up. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book and what Markle will be up to next.
4.5 stars
You know me, I love shifter romances, especially the ones with wolves. Pair this with sexy cowboys and you have a really good story!
Boyd is a wolf shifter living his life as a bull rider. He’s always been the black sheep of the family, so the rodeo is his escape. Everything changes when he meets Audrey, a human doctor, at the rodeo. All Audrey wants is a family of her own. Her work as an ObGyn only makes her want babies more. From the first time she meets Boyd she’s attracted to him but keeps her distance. Boyd is determined to change her mind, since this curvy doctor is his mate.
It was so good to see these two warm up to each other. Audrey is skeptical at first, but soon enough Boyd has her begging for more. Their encounters are super hot; you can feel the passion between them. What kept me from giving the book 5 stars was the whole Jett Markle story. It felt incomplete and kind of pointless after all.
All in all, Boyd will be your newest obsession! Who doesn’t love a hot shifter cowboy? I know I do I’m looking forward to the next books. I’m curious about a certain Alpha’s story…!
I was shocked at how long it took Audrey to catch on to Boyd’s true nature?! Not the brightest crayon in the box, but she seemed open to truth and changes. Karen the skank tried to do her worst and insecure Audrey bought it- DISAPPOINTING! Audrey throwing his letters away without reading them. More disappointed, that she wouldn’t listen to someone she cared about, over the words of Karen with ill intentions. Very disappointed in Audrey’s lack of trust of the man who gave her multiple “0’s” and received NOTHING in return. Why does a house have to fall on her face facts and her mate.
I just loved this book and I felt it was the perfect start to this new series. Audrey and Boyd were very likable characters that had great chemistry. I found myself quickly invested in this couple and firmly rooting for them as the story unfolds. The story itself offers a entertaining blend of emotion, drama, humor, heat, sweetness, cuteness, and a bit of action and excitement. I can’t wait for book two!! This is my sincere review that I am posting of my own accord.
Wow what a fun and exciting read, Rough is book 1 in a new series Wolf Ranch by two great authors Renee Rose and Vanessa Vale. This story will definitely have you fanning yourself and needing a cool drink. The characters are Boyd a hot rough champion rodeo rider and the sexy new doctor Audrey who catches his eye and something more.
I was hooked and I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough. I want to add so much more but don’t want to give anything away but in my opinion this is one hot and sexy story and if this is any hint at how great this series will be I can’t wait for more from these two great ladies. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I did. A book I don’t think you want to miss.
I really wanted to like this book more than I did because I like both authors work. It had moments, but they weren’t consistent throughout the book.
I thought Boyd and Audrey were an interesting match. He was so self assured, even under the weight of blaming himself for his parents death. Audrey seemed to be really sweet, a bit naive, and insecure; but only after she and Boyd spent more time together. Her insecurity had to do with her feeling unattractive I guess. Prior to that, she was in doctor mode, more forceful, more mature, more confident.
I think that is the reason I was so surprised at her reaction to figuring out Boyd was a shifter. I don’t know if her initial “doctor” persona would have responded the same way. The fact that she kept dismissing what she was seeing, and not asking more questions was also surprising.
I didn’t get the sense of chemistry or heat between Boyd and Audrey. They were together a few times, but there was no real sexual tension.
I thought there might be more interaction with Jeff after he came across so aggressively to Rob and Boyd. I guess I did not expect to have the interaction at the waterfall told by Boyd instead of getting both characters POV.
This was an OK start to the series. It was fast paced at the beginning, and then it tapered off. It picked up again with the Jeff spotting the wolf incident, and It fell off again. For me, the pace was a series of ups and downs. By the time Karen spoke her piece and Audrey reacted, it fell flat for me.
I am hoping Rob and Miranda will get their own book. After Boyd and Rob had their revealing conversation, it will be interesting to see what issues Rob is carrying around besides being Alpha.
