Ideal surprise baby storytelling

Those Ryker boys play hard and love hard and Tristan fits the bill.

The Ryker Ranch series has been a joy during quarantine because it is light, sexy, and hilarious. Each brother has their own lovable quality that pulls you in. Tristan is the reformed playboy, which makes him the perfect hero for a surprise baby story arc. Over the course of the book, you watch him completely shift into the man readers (and Mama Ryker) always knew he would be. As for Hazel, she is now my favorite heroine of the Ryker series. Her fearlessness flies off the page that it becomes effortless for a reader to connect with her.

For audiobook fans, you know what to expect from Aaron Shedlock. All of the dreamboat-level darlings’ for you to enjoy. I will say that Stella Hunter shines in this one. Audiobook fans of this series will see a growth in her talent and performance over the three books, with this one being peak level greatness.

This series always ends with a sneak peek of what’s to come and the next book will feature the mysterious Ryker brother Sam. Be prepared for a jaw-drop moment involving him in this book that sets the stage for the next chapter of the Ryker series.

Side note: It goes without saying that Mama Ryker is once again a book highlight. Without going into spoilers, you will realize your love for her in this book when something unexpected happens. Now if we can only get that Ryker prequel…

Story of Trust

The series is very good and the narration is excellent. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Ok

This is a quick and easy read.
There just wasn’t enough meat to the story for me to really care about any of the characters. Could just be my current mood. But this one was just ok for me.

Baby love

I truly adore this story. All the swooning moments to getting things sorts out for the better. I like the flow of the story as well the writing style. This brings out the southern roots out of me for sure and forgot how much the energy, or enthusiasm in my Texan ways! I love every minute of it and once again Aaron Sherlock and Stella Hunter did a fantastic job of duet narration!

My favorite Ryker

I loved this surprise baby story with Tristan and Hazel. Nothing can change the life of a playboy quicker than impending fatherhood and Tristan proved that he was up to the task. I love revisiting the whole Ryker family and seeing the family grow. Once again I adored the duet format with Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter. They were brilliant. Looking forward to Sam’s story.

Great Book

Loved the story. Tristan is amazing character. Love Aaron and Stella as the narration they really bring the book to life. Aaron has a very sexy voice.

Hot, fun, emotional and makes me want a cowboy!

Oh, Kim Loraine, you can write just about anything, and I'll enjoy it. Your Ryker Ranch cowboys are so damn swoony and so much fun, it makes this city girl want to sign up for Saddle Up, but I'd definitely make a fool of myself on a ranch, so I'll just read and listen to your cowboys a few times.

The Ryker family is definitely something special. Each member of the family is unique, and they have such strong bonds. Tristan is the youngest and randiest man of the family, and apparently the one voted most likely to have a string of little cowboys that he doesn't know about, so no one is surprised when a one-night stand shows up pregnant.

Hazel just wanted a night of no-strings fun after her life imploded, and she snuck out before Tristan could ask her for more. They both spent months dreaming about each other after their one night, and they had a much stronger connection than anyone expected. When she shows up at Ryker Ranch, Tristan feels like fate is giving him a second chance, even though Hazel is reluctant.

Their chemistry is off the charts. And Hazel is a woman that Tristan wants and needs, but he needs to learn to treat her right and appreciate her, and give her the space she needs to feel confident in their relationship.

The audio of this book is amazing. Stella Hunter really embodies Hazel's emotions, her uncertainty, her shaken confidence, and her realization that she's stronger than she thinks and Tristan is more than just a young cowboy. Aaron Shedlock a perfect Tristan. I swear, he almost made me pregnant during their first hookup! But beyond all the whispery, growly hotness is also such an earnestness and vulnerability in Tristan's character that Aaron captured so well. I'll definitely listen to this one again because it was so enjoyable.

I'm looking forward to many more Rykers in the future! This series is simply top-notch.

Swoony cowboy romance

I loved Tristan and Hazel’s story. It was swoony and sweet. Tristan is my new favorite Ryker I’ve fallen hard for him. Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock were excellent in this duet narration and it’s impossible not to swoon every time Aaron says darlin’! Can’t wait for the next trip to Ryker Ranch with Sam’s story!

Enjoyed

I enjoyed this story. Especially with Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter narrating. You can see that Kim enjoys writing about cowboys. There is a nice comfortable flow to the story. I like how the story comes alive from the first page until the end. Always fun to learn more about each of the brothers.

Sexy and sweet

This is my first audio (I know I'm late to the party, but I'm now working my way through the back catalog!) from this author. This story had me smiling, swooning and definitely had some moments that took my breath away. Add in fabulous narrators and I was sucked in from the start.

As I mentioned, this is my first audio in this series. I was SO not prepared to hear all the swoon worthy, "darlins" but man were they great. Aaron Shedlock definitely moved up on my narrator list after listening to this!! Stella Hunter was PERFECTION as Hazel. She nailed her personality perfectly.

This story had a couple unexpected twists that caught me right in the feels. But I loved every moment of the journey. I felt like I was part of the family and I can't wait for the next Ryker family story. This book is definitely one I will come back and relisten to again and again. I highly recommend it!
