Colton and Jennifer’s slow burn will keep you turning the page. I loved the story and the well thought out plot made the setting not just another ranch romance. Good character development and unique perspectives made this book a must read; HEA guaranteed! I received a free copy of this book via BookFunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Four and a half stars Soldier Cowboy is the sixth in Heatherly Bell’s Men of Stone Ridge series. Jennifer Walker has a big problem. And Colton Henderson is apparently the answer. Jennifer hosts a popular podcast,and has unfortunately acquired a stalker. Her father calls on Colton, who is newly returning to civilian life, to take on Jennifer’s protection until the threat has passed. One fake engagement, two protective brothers, a ranch, a reality show, and a wedding have Jennifer and Colton juggling some very real chemistry and feelings in public and in private. Heatherly Bell’s characters are warmly written,and returning to Stone Ridge is like visiting a dear friend. Previous characters make welcome appearances, though Soldier Cowboy stands alone well. A great addition to this fun small-town series.
