Mustang Ridge

review 1: Singles week at a Wyoming dude ranch sounds like fun for the happy-go-lucky visitors, but for Shelby and her daughter Lizzie from Boston, Mustang Ridge ranch is a place to work for the summer. Temporary cook is something Shelby can cope with, but pushy dudes, a horse-hungry little girl and quietly competent wranglers add up to a complicated few months.The ranch staff concur that if the dudes see the family-friendly version of cattle ranching, that's what it takes to bring in cash. Young Lizzie has difficulty communicating, and Foster, the head wrangler, offers Shelby a quiet horse to ride, and over a bonfire she gets to know the guests and staff. With a newborn foal to watch and feed, Lizzie starts to improve. Shelby feels a growing attraction to Foster, but doesn't think ... moreof romance. They'll only be staying here for the summer....The author knows horses, and I liked the attention to detail and the modern touches. These wranglers microchip the cattle, use the internet and adhere to health codes with the chuck wagon. The scenery is beautiful in the images Jesse Hayworth paints, the horses are so real you can stroke them and the ranch folks are kind and down-home practical. I enjoyed the story and gentle romance, but there was no real element of conflict which may make it too quiet for some readers. For anyone thinking of visiting a dude ranch this is a great advertisement.
review 2: I absolutely love the series! The characters come to life as soon as you start reading with their love of junk food and Star Trek! I fell in love with Foster along with Shelby and cried when Lizzie found the strength to use her voice. This is such an amazing book and I can't wait for the next one! Jesse Hayworth is one of my favorite authors. Her voice is so friendly, warm, witty, and charismatic. less
