3.5 stars maybe? This one was kinda weird. I really enjoyed the dramatic plot and the character development. The romance worked well for me. But there were quite a few times when I was just confused as to why a character would do or say something, like it made no sense for that to be their reaction or response regardless of the character. I just mean normal human beings don't act like that. For instance, everyone seemed to have inappropriate expository dialogue that would have sounded very awkward in real life. And the FBI doesn't test the boyfriends of victims to see if they really love her or not.I worked myself up for a twist at the end that never happened - (view spoiler)[ how fucked up would it have been for the lawyer to have been in on it with the bad guy?! (hide spoiler)] - but I still really liked the plot and how it ended. I think I would recommend it?As I was reading it, I kept thinking "I'm definitely mentioning that in the review" but the ending was really great and left me with such a fuzzy warm feeling that I'm just kinda like "Well, all the annoying stuff before wasn't that bad". But at one point I was wondering if Jennifer Ryan actually wrote this because it made so little sense and I think she's too good of an author to not make sense. So I mean... I liked the book a lot, but it was fucking weird to read at times. Not weird things happening in the story, the weird is all experienced by the reader.Just take that how you will and read it if you want, I guess.

There are just some authors that you can't get enough of and for me that's Jennifer Ryan. I just love her books. She has so much happen in her story that at times you'll sit back and think, 'really'?But even with them sometimes being a little far-fetched, you will find yourself wanting...no, needing to read them. Her Renegade Rancher is book #5 of her Montana Men series. I'm really loving this series. Now I can't say it's any better then any of her others because to be honest, I love all her series equally. But Her Renegade Rancher is one of my favorite books of hers. Okay, Colt is one of my favorite hero's of hers. You might feel like you're shaming me because I have the hots for a FICTIONAL character but you'd be wrong. We all have to have our fantasies and today's in Colt Kendrick's. There is just something about the Kendrick brothers. All of them are so...hot! For some reason Colt called to me more then the others, (please be nice to me and don't read my Goodreads reviews on this author because you might find that I fall for all her hero's. Let's keep that between us)There is just something about about how loving and caring he is towards Luna, not to mention protective. He's got it all. Just add in hard working and what woman wouldn't want him. Now I don't want you to think that the story is all about Colt, because it isn't. Luna is in the story too. I really enjoy her. She's so nice to everyone and when all her dreams land in her lap instead of jumping up and down with joy she thinks about how it will affect others. Like I said, a good person. You'll like them both and the other characters that join them in their story (well maybe not the bad guys) and not be able to put it the book down until you're finished. If you haven't yet read a book by Jennifer Ryan then you are missing out. Hurry and order them all and then kick everyone out of the house because you are not going to want anyone to disturb you until your finished with them all. Butter hurry up, she's got a novella called Snowbound at Christmas out in ebook November 15th and then Ford's story His Cowboy Heart out February 21st.

 Did I ever tell y'all I kissed a cowboy once?  He was a real, honest to God cowboy who worked a ranch down in Okeechobee, FL.  He was soooo cute... I won't even explain what the heck I was doin' in Okeechobee.  It was a looooonnng time ago ;) But that is where my LOVE of cowboys and stories with cowboys in them started.  I love stories with the soft spoken, hard working, tough guy who is nothing but a gentleman to the ladies.  Yep, I like a strong guy :)Surprisingly, Her Renegade Rancher gave us that plus a little bit more... feelings.  Jennifer Ryan gave us a cowboy who knows his way around the ranch and can hold his own.  But Colt Kendrick, the youngest of three brothers, feels the loss of his parents but doesn't remember their presence.  Colt has this hole, or emptiness, inside him that he just doesn't quite know how to fill.  He certainly doesn't imagine a girl would do it.  Especially someone he doesn't think he should have a thing for, like Luna Hill.Luna and Colt have a bit of a past that was alluded to in the previous book, Stone Cold Cowboy.  We finally find out why these two silly kids are "dancing" around each and not exactly speaking.  Once Colt and Luna get their "business" settled and appear to be on the road to.... something, a wrench gets thrown in to gum up the works, per se.  There's a mystery, sabotage, mayhem, and all kinds of romance in this pretty fast paced romance.  And I LOVED IT!!!But what I loved the most?  Our heroine, Luna, was one smart lady!  I'm pretty sure I've seen this in Ms. Ryan's other Montana Men books I've read, because Ms. Ryan does NOT write dumb romance.  Neither her characters nor the plots are stupid or full of holes.  Granted, the "bad guys" WILL do dumb things, that kind of has to happen because villains are commonly driven by stupid emotions.  But as I was reading this story, I was just so pleasantly surprised to find Luna doing smart stuff and ∗gasp∗ helping herself!I'm surprised that this book is listed as 400 pages long because it really didn't feel like it was that long.  I think the story flew for me because of the type of story it was.  You knew there was a small mystery to solve, some characters that needed their asses kicked, and as a reader, I wanted to savor the entire process. Mega happy ending dance! The next book, His Cowboy Heart, features the middle Kendrick brother, Ford.  It's due out next February :)Contemporary romance readers who like small town / country settings and appreciate the dynamics that come with living in a small town.  Review appears on

Who doesn't love a good cowboy? Sexy, hard working and just plain yummy - I'm in. I don't read many cowboy books but I do always seem to enjoy them. Maybe I need more cowboys in my life.This story is about the love between friends, family and lovers coupled with the drama that can happen when some don't get what they think belongs to them. Luna is a good person who has worked hard trying to do what's right. She befriends an old rancher that just needs a friend. His family is far from the friendly kind. And when he dies and leaves her his ranch, that family is willing to take awful steps to get what they believe belongs to them.But mostly this story is about two friends that shared a kiss and then blamed themselves for making a mistake. They've stayed away from each other for far too long and it's time that stopped. Wayne pushes Luna to Colt so they can forgive each other and a friendship begins that both of them needed more than either of them knew.There is a sweet love story here intertwined between the drama that the reading of a will can cause. And that's the part I loved the most. It took me a while to feel these characters but when I did, I fell for them. I loved Colt - his manners, his kindness, his patience, his consideration, his sexy mouth! I loved Luna - her determination to do what was right and her bada$$ efforts to protect what was hers. I hated Josh and the aunt who shall not be named with a fire and passion that had me ratting and raving at them! I felt sorry for Uncle Harry and the two daughters. Simon had me guessing and hoping. So many emotions tells me the characters were real. The story is enjoyable if not a bit predictable. The sweet love story is satisfying with a good balance of kissing and story progression. The heat level is moderate with nothing really graphic. Not a lot of concentration on the operation of a ranch but more on the people that live there. There is a starry night and a few scary moments balancing to make a great read.It's a great way to spend an evening cuddling with cowboys, kissing and family drama. If that appeals to you, pick this one up for sure!

Contemporary, western, small town romance. Fate has a way of getting what she wants. Colt and Luna had their chance at a beginning but things just didn't quite workout. Now there may not be a chance to find out if long held desires can work or not. Or did fate decide to step in one more time and see what would happen on a second chance at everlasting. Luna has set herself ready to leave the one community that she has found her love in and now must part with him. Colt had been keeping his distance and it was time for her to move on. That was until an unfortunate event took place leaving Luna with a better option. Watching things unfold for Luna and Colt was sweet and romantic, yet with an edge of suspense. Why? Why was the question lingering? As events unfold, things become clear and truths are revealed. There were twist, greed, resentment, and chemistry. The angst built as the romance blossomed. Misunderstanding just need a little time to get them straightened out. This was a well written addition to the Montana Men series. We get a little of the others from previous stories and a look at some future characters in books to come. I have to admit that I fell into Jennifer Ryan's writing earlier this year. She one of my new author's this year that has had me very happy to come back again and again to read her stories. I got to know the Montana men from the very beginning. I must say that I look forward to each new release. The characters are rich and endearing. The men are hot, sexy, strong, loving, kind, delicious, decadent, protective and proud. The women that they chose to love have their own set of fire, brass, strength, loving, kindness, and bit of protectiveness also.

Loved it!!These Montana men just keep getting better and better!! Colt and Luna are a great couple and the suspense and twists and turns in the story made this a great read. I highly recommend.

Everything I love most about the Montana Men series, and indeed, about Jennifer Ryan’s writing can be found in this one line… He used to run wild, now he ran to her. Achingly romantic, sweet and sexy, gruff and more than a little tough, these cowboys have a way of melting my heart (and my panties) without ever losing the badass nature that makes them so… Delicious. Loving. Kind and protective. Strong. And sure. So very, very sure. Ms. Ryan’s stories, as seen with Colt Kendrick and his Luna, leave me so happy, so content, so in love, it's hard not to turn around and read them again immediately. Here, in Her Renegade Rancher, I found what I so often find—and adore—about these books. A love that's never in doubt. Do they move fast? Yes, absolutely, but it feels right. It's like a wave of tenderness and hopefulness and heat washes over me, and I never want it to end. Add to that the tension and mystery, the suspense that comes from the outside—pressuring the relationship, strengthening the ties that bind—and you have a story that is captivating and addictive. It's simple really; I couldn't put this book down. I've been patiently (for the most part) waiting for Colt and Luna’s story since their rocky past became apparent in Stone Cold Cowboy, and it was worth the wait. Because Colt was…possibly my favorite of all the Montana Men—which is saying something, because I've loved each and every one of them—and I adored his strength, his commitment to the things, the people he loves. Like Luna, who I too loved. Her kindness and willingness to believe the best in people, to give second chances, while still sticking to her guns. She wasn't a pushover, but neither was she a hardass, and that worked for me. The relationship she formed with Colt was beautiful and my heart soared as they came together, worked side-by-side, protecting each other in a relationship that felt, to me, to be very balanced. I've found, in each of Ms. Ryan’s books that I've had the pleasure to read thus far, a consistency and a familiarity that make her books a sure thing. A guarantee that I'm going to close the book feeling good, feeling connected, feeling like I can't wait for more. Which is, again, true of Her Renegade Rancher. Colt’s brother, Ford is up next—I haven't even touched on the relationship between the families in this series, which is a shame because the playfulness, the banter and the connection they share is magic—and I'm already excited for it. Excited for more lines like the one above, and this one, which seems like the best way to end this gushing review…“You may think I have a wild, reckless heart, maybe I do, but all I know is, it belongs to you.” ~ Beth, 5 stars

Colt Kendrick is the youngest brother of the family, and though he works hard he plays even harder. He is living a good life and things seem to come easy for him, except when it comes to Luna Hill. One heart-stopping and badly timed kiss is keeping these two from making a love connection. The chemistry is there, but they are letting a misunderstanding keep them apart. When they finally talk to each other to straighten things out, Luna's life takes an unexpected turn. Can Colt be the kind of man Luna needs? Can Luna give up some control and let Colt in? Read and see!This is a good, well written romance with an interesting plot with some danger and angst thrown in for good measure. I really liked Colt, he is honest and straight forward and once he sees what he wants, there is no stopping him. Luna is a strong and independent woman who is used to being on her own and taking care of herself and anyone else that comes her way. Of course some familiar characters round out the story. We get a glimpse into what's up with Rory and Sadie. Also there are some hints to what's up with Ford and of course Grandpa! There is also a whole new group of interesting characters added to the mix. All in all a really good romance. I can't wait for Ford's book!***ARC provided through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review***

These Montana men just keep getting better and better!! Colt and Luna are a great couple and the suspense and twists and turns in the story made this a great read. I highly recommend.

Somehow this series fell off my radar for a little while even though I have really enjoyed the books so far. It could be that I read Stone Cold Cowboy (book 4) before this book came out and during the whole “my baby left for the Army” thing. My life got a bit hectic at that time. All I know is I’m glad, for no particular reason, this author popped into my head the other day. There were a few points from the previous books that took me a few chapters to remember, but it didn’t matter. This story pulled me in pretty quickly. I think it would have pulled me in even if I never read the other stories. Colt is a wonderful hero. Even though he doesn’t explain to Luna why he won’t go into her apartment, the reader knows and it’s so heartwarming. The fire between Colt and Luna is red-hot even before they ever get their second first kiss.The mystery involved in this story kept me bouncing from person to person. With good reason. There were many players. I found myself getting as angry as Colt and as scared as Luna. This story was told with great flair. Sometimes I would like Simon, but was a fool to do so? Was Josh all bluster or really an evil jerk? So many questions that all kept me reading.See full review at https://allingoodtimeblog.wordpress.c...
