5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:
Tristan Stone is off limits.
It doesn’t matter that the grumpy, single dad did nothing wrong. He’s a cowboy and his last name means I’m bound by blood to hate him. My family would never be okay with me having feelings for our enemy.
When he stops—in the pouring rain—because I have a flat tire, the last thing I expect is for him to help me.
I do my best to ignore the water sliding off his hat and how he fills out those jeans. My best, however, is not good enough. Each night I close my eyes and dream of a future we can never have. And after he defends me at the bar and we share a magical dance? It only gets worse.
I know I should forget about him, but when I find him alone one night, I offer up a no-strings attached relationship that we both promise to keep secret. Sidelong glances across property lines morph into clandestine meetings under the stars wrapped up in each other’s arms.
Never mind that our families will never approve or that he told me he can never love again, I crave him.
Soon our no feelings agreement is in tatters, and my heart belongs to that broken cowboy. Will he break it or will he defy them all and choose us instead?

REVIEW:
West of Forever kicks off Corinne Michaels’ new small-town cowboy series, Heartstone Ranch. I listened to the audiobook, narrated in duet by Connor Crais and Vanessa Vasquez. These perfectly paired narrators both gave fantastic performances using their natural chemistry to bring these complex characters to life.
With a bit of a Hatfields and McCoys vibe, Tristan and Lark’s enemies-to-lovers romance starts out with a damsel in distress scenario. The forbidden aspect of their relationship did nothing to dampen the crackling chemistry between them. Add in the sweet relationship Tristan’s daughter, Sadie, and Lark developed, and their attraction was impossible for them ignore. Full of flirty banter and cowboy charm, I listened to this addictive series starter in a single day. Five smooches from me for West of Forever by Corinne Michaels!
