    Taken, Not Spurred

    Written by Ruth Cardello

    About this audiobook

    From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ruth Cardello comes the scorching debut to the Lone Star Burn series—hot enough to make you want to saddle up to your own cowboy!

    Would-be writer Sarah Dery has just turned twenty-five and feels like her life is on hold. She’s done squat with her English degree and is just killing time working for her parents. So, when the opportunity to spend the summer working on a ranch in Texas comes her way, she jumps at the chance—figuring it might be just the jolt she needs to get her creative juices flowing.

    Tony Carlton is a chiseled, handsome, and reclusive horse trainer with a tortured past and an eye for trouble, this time in the form of a naked blonde stranger he finds in his shower.

    The wrong turn that led Sarah into the bed of this sexy, brooding cowboy turns out to be just what she needed to find her steamy inner voice, but will their connection be enough to break down Tony’s defenses?

      Seriously now Ruth the author, could you not have a male play the males in this book? Do you have any idea how ridiculous the lady narrator makes men sound?
    • 3/5
      Cute story but it left me wanting a bit more. I would have liked to understand the characters a bit more and the relationship seemed really rushed. I did enjoy it however so I would recommend it.
