Mustang Wild

I started this book on Saturday and finished it the same day. This book was incredible. It has the great elements of an authentic western setting, engaging characters, sensual romance, humor, and danger. You will love Skylar as she is an incredible woman with a sense of honor but also the grit and determination to do what it takes to make a life for her younger brother. She was forced from a young age to suppress her feminine side and to work and to live as a cowboy, and nobody would question her abilities. Skylar ends up accidentally married to playful, but dangerous former bounty hunter, Tucker Morgan. He's gorgeous and tempting, but having a home for her brother is her first priority. The end goal is to get to Wyoming, get paid for her mustangs, and get an annulment. She just has to keep her hands off him, and his hands off her. Tucker wasn't looking at getting married ever, but he has one heck of a bride on his hands. She's willing to pull her weight and then some, and earns his respect. And she's beautiful. He finds it harder than he thought to keep from taking his wife to bed, and soon finds that he wants her forever. I really enjoyed this book. It was fun, it was intense, and I felt like I was there on the trail to Wyoming, with dust in my mouth, the cold wind blowing on face, hearing the mustangs neighing, and dodging bullets, along with the characters. If you have been feeling at a loss as less and less western romances are being published, I highly recommend picking up this book. It will keep you entertained for hours indeed. Stacey Kayne is a new go to author for me when it comes to western romances.

Skylar Daines is stubborn, beautiful, and one of the best horse trainers around. When her father is murdered, she must find his partner, Chance Morgan. Wanting to put down roots and create a secure home for her brother, Sky will stop at nothing to reach Wyoming and realize her plans. The man she remembers as Chance is finally located in a saloon. While his smile makes her heart pound and her palms sweat, she has no idea that man she assumes is Chance is actually his identical twin, Tucker. Tucker Morgan has never met a more cantankerous and obstinate woman in all his life. The fact that she makes him long for hearth, home, and forever doesn't sit well with Tuck, who happens to be a love em' and leave em' kind of cowboy. When a card bet goes wrong, Tucker finds himself the husband of Skylar Daines. While he verbally pronounces his want of an annulment, deep down he finds himself wanting forever. With his hat in his hand and his heart on his sleeve, Tucker sets out to prove to Skylar that they are compatible in more ways than just ranching. I loved the storyline of MUSTANG WILD, which is set in the wilds of the untamed west. Skylar is a strong heroine with just enough unknown feminine wiles to grab the attention of Tucker Morgan. Tucker, on the other hand, doesn't know what hit him. At turns exasperated and amused with Skylar, his surrender to their attraction is sensual and out-of-this-world sexy. I laughed out loud at Skylar's completely unimpressed view of Tucker; to see his consternation at wanting to protect the woman he now knows is his wife was quite possibly one of the sweetest scenes I have yet read. Throw Tucker's twin brother and one bad guy into this delightful mix and I was happy to finish this novel in one sitting. MUSTANG WILD is the debut novel in Stacey Kayne's new WILD series. Looking forward to future installments, I can't want to see if Chance gets his own storyline.
