Publisher Description
First in the series from the bestselling author. “The ever-present sensuality is a magnetic force that propels the novel forward amid simmering suspense.”—Publishers Weekly
From the moment Roan Taggart picks up the pretty redhead at the Jackson Hole airport, his training and experience tells him she is spooked. She’s left New York City to visit the Wind River Ranch, where Roan is a wrangler, and just as he can pick up a horse’s mood, he can feel the tension coming off her body. And that vulnerability is triggering all his protective instincts . . .
Shiloh Gallagher likes the gray-eyed cowboy’s dry humor—and the Special Forces background that lends him a stoic, powerful presence. But she’s been scarred by trauma and her mother’s murder . . . and knows a strong man can be dangerous. She came to wide-open Wyoming to flee a threat that’s left her unable to write her novels. Now, as she rides horses with Roan and helps him build an isolated cabin, she’s slowly letting down her guard. But danger has followed her west, and they won’t have a future together unless they defeat a killer from her past . . .
“If you are a fan of contemporary romance with some suspense, this is a great pick. It’s got that slow burn feel to it as well! Wind River Wrangler is perfect for fans of RC Ryan’s Malloys series.”—The Book Disciple
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McKenna's captivating first Wind River contemporary shows that opposites do attract as a war-weary cowboy meets a New York City author. Shiloh Gallagher has had writer's block for the past six months, ever since she was spooked by a stalker. She decides to visit a friend of her mother's at her Wyoming ranch, Wind River. There is just one catch: Shiloh must reside in an employee's cabin with Roan Taggart, the hunky, stoic cowboy who picked her up at the airport. Roan, a former Special Forces sergeant, exudes power, and his gentleness and caring toward Shiloh surprises and appeals to her. As she opens up to him about her past, which includes seeing her stepfather murder her mother, Roan begins to care for her even more, but they're both uncertain about the possibility of their mutual attraction evolving into a life-changing relationship. When Shiloh's stalker tracks her to Wyoming, Roan promises to do everything he can to keep her safe. The ever-present sensuality is a magnetic force that propels the novel forward amid simmering suspense.
Customer Reviews
Good story
I enjoyed this story & liked the characters, although felt it challenging to read in places.
Eg; pg 407, Roan asks Shiloh a question & she doesn’t answer for another 4 pages. Conversations could’ve been structured better.
Overall a good story with an attractive lead couple, some drama, suspense & action, sprinkled with good love scenes & an appropriate end for the bad guy.
