In Tender Root Montgomery Long seemed singularly focused on fun. The middle child he only had one real duty, taking care of his younger sister Melody. But he’d failed and as the months tick on without her attacker behind bars he’s itching to exact revenge on the man who almost took his baby sister’s life.
Harper Maxwell’s year had gone from bad, to worse. With an ex husband looming around making her life miserable, the chance to get away to Mexico for a case made sense. As the attorney assigned to the Long case she was set to serve extradition paperwork and hopefully catch a few rays at the beach before heading back home.
If only that could have happened, with threats on Harper’s life can she find safety or even love in the arms of a man who never commits and worse yet may only be a rebound? Or will she become the next tragedy that could destroy the Long Ranch?

The Last Laugh, The Long Ranch book 3 by Michel Prince, narration by Mark Neely
I was given this audio book for an honest review by the author.
Mark’s voice was a great pick for Monty the main male character. I thought he did a great job bringing the character to life. I did think his was missing a bit when he voiced the female characters and at time he seemed rushed to deliver the dialogue. I was however happy with the narration of the story at the end,
The love story in this book is Monty and Harper. I have not read the other 2 books in the story. I didn’t seem lost or confused as the back story was told in away that gave me the information I needed for this story. I will say it seems the OVER ALL ARK of the story is in all 3 books. Like I said, I didn’t feel like /I missed anything but if you can’t stand to read out of ore you might want to start with #1.
Monty, Monty, Monty……he is the reformed town manwhore. He likes the ladies, and the ladies like him. LOL The husbands however, are not fans of his…I mean I get it right???
Monty is looking to find the man who beat up a family member when he sees a beautiful woman on the beach. A delicious one-night stand later and he sees her again, except this time he is in handcuffs annnnd not the fun kind.
Harper is a DA and she is DONE with her crooked boss and her POS ex-husband who doesn’t seem to understand he is an EX not current. She goes to Mexico to get the guy she is after and BOOM meets Monty.
The couple keep “crashing” into each other. Monty catches feelings and isn’t a fan of this. He also isn’t a fan of just being “Man Meat” for his woman. Harper is so confused by Monty, but she is not looking for love at all. Been there , done that and still has the ring to prove it.
A few explosions, death threats, run in with ex’s and a terrible mother has this couple really struggling to be together.
I liked the couple and did enjoy the journey they took. Chapter 12 had me laughing so hard annnnd then freaking out a bit!!

I was the pet he needed.
He was the Sir I craved.

The Ocean hides many secrets, and my family has uncovered one of them.
My name is Coralee Eldimire and I was dragged into the secrets my family has been keeping from me. The Eldimire Aquarium and Animal Sanctuary, was more than that. It was a testing site.
A testing site for shifters. The place I thought was made by hard work and passion was actually made by torture and the deaths of creatures I never knew existed.
I found this out the hard way that these shifters are more than they seem. They aren’t mindless or monsters…they were something more. The shark shifters that I had gotten to know only want one thing: freedom and I was their way out. Though it seemed they wanted me for more than an escape route.
These shifters wanted to keep me, and I was starting to have a hard time saying no. With my family trying to keep the shifters or kill them, I have my work cut out for me…and I may learn to be a stronger person on the way

I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Rusty and Lucas are some tough cowboys. They both have desires and wants but have huge fears that stop them from finally fulfilling their much needed happiness……..
The bull riders grew up in the same town but kept their gay status a secret. They did what they had too in order to fit in during high school. On the riding circuit they both desire the other but because they are quiet with their real sexuality, they dreamed of being with the other. A chance night after a competition, they both come clean as to what they desire. Rusty and Lucas are so excited but then end up fighting so they part. Rusty is all about coming clean because he is tired of hiding. He sees Curt and Levi enjoying their open lifestyle and wants to have that for himself as well. Lucas will not come out. He is scared of what will happen. He is very happy with keeping this relationship quiet. Soooo this makes things unbalanced for the two.
As the couple spends more and more time together, they slowly grow and end up in a relationship? Rusty is scared to speak that words for fear of what it will do to Lucas. The couple deal with a demanding sponsor, jealousy over an ex, hate from their family and a few friends but the friendship bond that grew to love is really tested.

Meet two champion bull riders–macho, muscled Marlboro Men, confident, cocksure cowboys–from their struggle for survival in the rodeo arena, and 8 seconds of fame on the back of a 2000 lb bull to their most private encounters behind closed doors where their world is about to explode…
Levi Bond is a seasoned pro, competing for the World Championship. Bull riding is what gets his adrenaline pumping, his heart racing, and makes him feel like a million bucks. That, and the idea of getting it on with Curt Walsh, one of the up and coming stars of the bull riding circuit. Powerfully attracted, Curt’s confused and unsure which way he wants his life to go. Will Levi still be around, available and interested when the final decision is made?
Get set for a wild ride in this cowboy romance, sizzling with intense desire, unbridled passion, and unexpected emotion as Levi and Curt, drawn together like mega magnets, battle not only life threatening, white knuckled action in the arena, but cruelty and bias outside it. The prospect of falling in love is as terrifying as staying on the bull without it killing them!
I received this book to beta read from the author.
I have read a ton of Sandy’s book and have enjoyed them all. However, I have to say, this book is my favorite of all. I love the story she created with Curt and Levi. I loved the fact we got to see this couple form a solid friendship while also developing a lasting love. I cannot wait for more from this series and to see where Curt and Levi go because at the end there will still one big lingering questions!!!
Levi is a very well respected bull rider. He is the older guy on the circuit that is kinda the “good guy”. He will help out anyone that needs it. He is also a loner and known to be gay on the circuit. He is ok with that but also doesn’t flaunt his sexuality in the faces of the guys who DONT approve with his lifestyle choices. Levi has watched from afar Curt. Curt is fun and easy going BUT he likes the ladies….or does he???
Curt had heard that Levi is into guys but wasn’t sure. Soooo what’s a guy do when he is interested? He asks to room with Levi. He figures , if he is GAY then he is super close to get to “knowing” him better!!
The guys really get to know each other while they are also “getting to know each other”. Levi is so strong but loves that Curt is super alpha. Curt who loves to take charge loves allowing this other man to sometimes spin on him and take over. The jealousy they each have over the other one having someone else liking them was great. I loved seeing them both get angry and claiming the other man….plus its super hawt right???
Levi is very shy and about his relationship with Curt. He doesn’t want to rock the boat or upset anyone. Curt on the other hand could care less about what people think about him and his lifestyle except when it comes to his parents. But Levi wants permanent and Curt isn’t sure he cant settle down with a guy since he also enjoys the ladies as well.
Their love story is wound through them riding the bull circuit and loving each other hard. When Levi asks for more Curt cant seem to make a decision. Then there is an accident and the men realize that they could lose it all with one bad ride. Decisions are made and choices are told……This falling in love stuff is really hard on everyone no matter who you choose to love.

Can one handsome cowboy and a city-girl from LA find common ground is the Hill Country long enough to see beyond a quick fling?
I received this book ARC from the author for an honest review.
Raise your hands if you have read a Sandy Sullivan novel? Shew!! Then you all know how hawt they are right!!!??? GREAT because this book defo doesn’t disappoint at all. I also loved the BDSM aspects of Joel and Mesa sexual relationship. I find BDSM super hawt to read!!! *blushes*
This story is about independent minded, strong willed, romance writer, Mesa who runs out of gas in the middle of a thunderstorm WHEN a flash flood is about the hit…….not good right? Did I mention she freaks in storms??? Bad sitch for Mesa until *tap tap tap* on her car window is a hot, sexy cowboy (Joel) who offers her help. The chemistry is uber thick. Both Mesa and Joel can feel the sexual tension. They try to fight it because the family has a strict “no screwing guest” rule on the dude ranch they run. Mesa writes erotic cowboy novels so she decides to stay for a few days at the ranch. Well friends what do you think happens? OF COURSE they can’t stop the attraction and damn is the sex hot. Then typical male Joel tells Mesa she is “almost the best he has ever had”….oh yes ladies he was a total douche at that point. Well Mesa was not thrilled…hell would you be???? They fight and then have some make up sex and then her time to leave has arrives. Their week is over. Both are totally head over heels in love with the other BUT are tooo afraid to admit it. So what happens you ask???? Hrmmmm guess you better just buy the book to find out. I will say i was yelling a little bit at BOTH of them for being soooooo dang stubborn!!!!!
My favorite parts of the book are when Mesa and Joel have a “food fight” of sorts while they have an argument about a misunderstanding. I also love love love Joel’s matchmaking mother Nina. She is a driving force behind this family of 9 boys.
I love the set up at the end of the book for Jess. He totally needs some love because he is a broken, unhappy cowboy. When you read about his ex-wife you will wanna hug him for his heart ache but also kick him in the balls for being an ass!! I cant wait to see him get his butt kicked by love AND see what a true loving relationship with a woman will do for him.

A registered nurse by education, she loves to help people and spread the enjoyment of romance to those around her with her novels. She loves cowboys so you’ll find many of her novels have sexy men in tight jeans and cowboy boots
We are THE TWINSIES… We love to read…We love to promote the authors we read… and we love to stir up TROUBLE… It's who we are and what we do
