Sawyer

Lucky River Ranch, Book 3

By: Jessica Peterson

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Lila Winters

Dirty dancing leads to a chance at forever in this sizzling single-parent, found family, small town romance by Jessica Peterson.

As a recently divorced single mom, I have zero interest in flirting with guys while on a rare girls' weekend away with my sisters. I just want to have fun, celebrate my new job, and listen to live music at a honky tonk.

But when I literally stumble into the most gorgeous guy ever on the dance floor, those plans go up in smoke. Growing up on the barrel racing circuit, I've seen my fair share of sexy cowboys. But this particular one is hot as hell: Sawyer's got a mustache, tattoos, and a very filthy mouth.

Needless to say, we end up naked in his swanky hotel room. It's the best sex of my life. And the way Sawyer treats me like a queen? A girl could get used to that kind of adoration.

Good thing he'll only be a one-night stand I can look back on with a smile. I'm rebuilding my life from scratch, and I need to focus on my three-year-old daughter and the dream job I just landed.

Imagine my surprise, then, when I move to Hartsville and run into a tattooed cowboy with an adorable daughter of his own. Now, Sawyer wants more than the occasional playdates between our girls. But the closer we become, the more determined this sexy single dad is to keep me forever.

As much as I'm falling for Sawyer, I'm terrified. I've been down this road before with my ex, and I wonder if I can trust this cowboy. Will he rope the moon for me? Or is my heart destined to be trampled all over again?

Sawyer is a standalone book in the interconnected Lucky River Ranch Series.

A great cowboy romance!

A fun and spicy cowboy romance. Two single parents that find they have lots in common and electricity off the charts!

It's a feel good, heartwarming story that balances heat with emotion and will give you all the feels. The audiobook narration by Lila Winters and Stephen Dexter did a great job bringing the characters to life.
I loved Sawyer and Ava and can’t wait for Duke’s story!

Best in the series!

I’m a huge fan of the series, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how amazing this book was gonna be. When Ava and Dan were fighting everything Dan said was so predictable in the best way and I don’t think anybody will quite understand what that means unless you’ve been dealing with a coparent. Ava is the best FMC and Sawyer is the best MMC in any book I’ve read this year.

Heart Stealing!

Sawyer by Jessica Peterson is single-parent romance perfection. I’m already a sucker for this trope, but this book goes all in—giving us the sweetest, softest single dad and a total bad-ass single mom who is impossible not to love. Even though Sawyer and Ava want different things out of life, their worlds blend together so naturally—helped along by their adorable, chaotic daughters who are the exact same age. Their chemistry sparks from day one and only gets stronger.

As a mom of a wild toddler myself, I felt so seen throughout this story. Every moment of kid-induced chaos had me laughing because… yes, that is exactly how it goes. The way the four of them slowly become a little unit is genuinely heartwarming, and I fell completely in love with their messy, sweet, beautifully real family dynamic.

If you’re looking for a heart-melting, spicy cowboy romance where the caretakers finally get to be cared for—highly recommend. And as always, Stephen Dexter and Lila Winters absolutely nail the narration. They bring Sawyer and Ava to life with so much warmth, charm, and emotion that it elevates the whole experience.

An easy 5 stars. ♥️

Swooning!!!

I loved this so much 10 stars definitely made up for how boring Wyatt was [sorry].

Number 3 didn’t disappoint!

Swoony Sawyer FOR THE WIN!!

Love these two!

Voice acting was perfection, as always.

Writing was phenomenal.

And this entire couple and story were perfection. The idea of two single parents might not sound sexy, but OOF this was the spiciest of all three thus far.

Totally worth the credit. Was great to see mild-mannered dad Sawyer discover his wild side.

Also, THANK YOU to Jessica Peterson for giving us Ava. A strong-willed character who doesn’t have to cave on what she wants!

Such a great book!
