Racing Hearts: Bennett Boys Ranch

By: Lauren Landish

Narrated by: Melissa Moran, Lance Greenfield

A tomboy tames the cocky cowboy next door in Wall Street Journal and Washington Post best-selling author Lauren Landish’s forbidden romance.

Luke is damn near invisible, or at least that’s how he usually feels. He takes care of things around the ranch before his boss-brother even knows there’s a problem, and no one even notices when he's done. But when he finds Shayanne sitting in a tree on his property, that all changes. She sees him and doesn’t seem to mind his gruff cowboy ways and dirty jokes that tease and test them both.

Shayanne is a tomboy cowgirl down to her boots, and a damn adult, regardless of whether her father and brothers agree. She escapes their smothering love and expectations to the furthest pasture and finds...Luke. And though their families have a rivalry worthy of the Hatfields and McCoys, she wants him. She wants him to take her and make her his woman, because in her heart, she already is.

Can Luke mediate the long-standing anger between the two families to get his girl, and can Shayanne finally be an adult in her family’s eyes, able to choose a future with a man they don’t want her to have?

Was there so much sex or unrealistic sex that you rolled your eyes and/or skipped forward? Close

The back story... The MCs families have been politely feuding for the past 15 or so years. The H comes back from a trip, sees the h, realizes that she is all grown up and has the hots for her.

The Romance... Builds up from a lusty relationship to an emotional relationship.

The drama explosion... Bad guys create issues.
Did it feel real or contrived? Contrived but ok
Was it OTT? Yes. Especially between the brothers
Separation involved? No
Was it resolved properly or rushed? Properly

Final Notes... Really good story. It lost 0.5 Stars after the H helps the h's family in a huge way and one of her brothers gets pissy and attacks him. That was just too far OTT.

Shayanne is a Tannen, she lives on her family ranch doing day to day stuff for her family. Luke is a cowboy and one of the Bennett brothers who works on the family ranch, he's the quiet one who handles the horses. The Bennett and Tannen' s don't get along anymore.  Luke and Shayanne cross paths again and something changes between them. Can a Tannen and a Bennett be together? Will the rivalry get in the way? Will they get a HEA?

Loved this series !!! I hope the Tannen brothers are next !

This book was a perfect addition to the other two. I highly recommend all three !! Sweet, steamy and romantic but with spit fire and courage. Love the animals too! I hope
The series continues with Brodie Bruce and Bobby. Great story and the narration was perfect too. Hats off to them and Lauren.

Great narration

I really enjoyed this series! There was just something so sweet and lovable about the Bennett brothers and watching them all fall in love was simply wonderful. I thought Lance Greenfield did a great job channeling his inner cowboy :)

Wonderful Book

I enjoyed this book, the series. Great writing is am awesome talent. Looking forward to finding more like this one.

Falling for the girl next door

The final single Bennett brother meets his match...and he’s known her all of his life! Tomboy, and only daughter/sister, Shayanne Tannen is a bit of a loner. She works hard taking care of her father and brothers and running her business. She’s never had time for relationships...or love...until she takes a good look at Luke Bennett. The Luke Bennett of the Bennett ranch...neighbor to the Tannens...and sworn enemy! When Luke strikes up a friendship that becomes more, Shayanne believes that their love can overcome anything...but can it?
Lots of trials for this couple, including a loan shark, but we eventually get an HEA.

OMG!

The Bennett Boys Ranch!!!! These three brothers have intertwined their hopes, dreams and family into a heart stopping story. It’s hard to put the series down and there are 3 more to come! There’s hard, soft, bossy, alpha men and spitfire women
Do yourself a favor and start reading!
