Meet the women from Wild Rose Ranch—and the men who want them—in New York Times Bestselling Author Jennifer Ryan’s breathtaking series of romance and scandal . . .
Noah Cordero is a modern-day cowboy who loves three things: ranching, his younger sister, and his step-father. John Cordero groomed Noah to take over the Montana spread where he learned to ride and work the land. But when John unexpectedly dies, he leaves half the ranch to a woman Noah doesn’t even know.
Roxy shares Noah’s last name, but not his blood. Estranged from her father, haunted by regrets, and eager to escape her notorious mother’s past, she is forced to fulfill her father’s last wishes. Inheriting means sharing a home with infuriating, challenging, and oh-so-tempting Noah. But John didn’t just make her owner of his ranch and guardian to her sister, his hidden sideline is her worst nightmare—she’s the new owner of the notorious Nevada brothel called Wild Rose Ranch where she grew up.
As their strictly business relationship starts to turn to true love, Roxy begins to wonder, what will happen when Noah discovers her dirty little secret?
My Review:
Dirty Little Secret is the first book in Jennifer Ryan's new series, Wild Rose Ranch.
And it follows Roxy, who is just trying to put her past behind her and show everyone that she is more than what they say about her, and Noah, a man trying to make sense of the secrets that are unfolding around him. Together the two work so well. The chemistry between them was intense in all the right ways. Like, fan yourself to cool of kind of intense. They found true love in each other despite all odds. And that's just wonderful.
Roxy was kind of the best female character I have ever read about. Honestly. This woman can do it all. From teaching herself how to ride and train horses to computer science. Which made me love her even more because we have the same degree.
She is confident, strong, smart and looks banging in a dress and heels, AND jeans and cowboy boots.
Which only made me hate how she was treated by everyone in this story. It was so unfair and dumb. She didn't deserve any of it.
The characters were excellent. The good guys were easy to love and the bad guys were horrible and deserve what they got. And the story was just so well done that I was left wanting more from these amazing and lovable characters.
Now I already had a sneak peek of the next book in the series. Since it was at the end of the book. And from the tiny bit that I did read I already know I need the next one. I NEED IT!
I should add that I won this book from a Goodreads giveaway.
I also need to add that at first, I was holding myself back on reading this book. But I did and I'm glad because I thought that the whole step-sibling thing was just too weird. But Roxy and Noah have no blood ties and they didn't grow up together. And the way the author as I thought it was gonna be. It was actually pretty good. Their relationship had its ups and downs but they also knew what they wanted from the other and weren't afraid to convey those feelings. Which was so brave and idyllic. It made me want that kind of relationship.

But ya girl is S.I.N.G.L.E. and doesn't need no boday.
But a good book.
