Wild Ride

Wildhorse Ranch Brothers #1

by Leslie North

Wild horses couldn’t tear these hearts apart…

Trevor Wild will do anything to save his beloved Wildhorse Ranch… Including starting up a trendy glamping side business—something as alien to him as a day out the saddle.

Luckily, smart and sassy Sabrina Hearthstone is an expert. Trevor’s hired her to live on the ranch while she sets up a glamping experience on his land. But it doesn’t long for Sabrina to disrupt his life, in more ways than one. Trevor’s got a ranch to save, and the last thing he needs is to fall for a beautiful woman. But his heart seems to have other plans…

Sabrina might be an expert at revamping, but she has no intention of making over gorgeous cowboy Trevor Wild, even if she is wildly attracted to him. He’s stuck in his ways, stubborn as a mule… But sexier than any man she’s ever known. When they aren't butting heads, they're trading kisses that set her heart racing, and leave her weak in the knees.

But Trevor still doesn't trust her, and Sabrina can't keep waiting for him to realize she's more than just some city girl. When disaster strikes, she'll have to make a choice…

But can she be happy without her Wild man?

Breaking the Cowboy’s Rules is book one in the Wildhorse Ranch Brothers series by Leslie North. This is my very first book by this author.



Trevor Wild loves what he does. He is a breeder of quarter horses on the ranch he inherited, Wildhorse Ranch. Trevor has a twin brother that loves the ranch as well and tries to help out but he has a life and job outside the ranch. Along with inheriting the ranch, Trevor also inherited it’s financial problems including a huge payment due soon. To keep his livelihood alive, he is forced to think outside the box. So he and his brother hired a Glamping Adventure Coordinator to bring new life in to his ranch. What is Glamping you might ask. It is a cross between Glamorous and Camping. So city folk can come out to the country and live like the cowboys do and pay good money to do it. Trevor, though, is a very set in his ways cowboy. He does everything by a checklist and never deviates from his schedule. So when he first met the new addition to his ranch, the oh so beautiful Sabrina, his world got turned upside down.



Sabrina Hearthstone is good at what she does. So she tries her best to adhere to the ranch owner’s lists and rules. She truly wants to help him to save the ranch. But he seems to be bent on making things difficult for her at every turn. As Sabrina and Trevor spend time together, though, somehow the animosity turns into tension, sexual tension. The attraction makes things even more awkward between them. And then he kisses her, and the kiss starts a fire within her that won’t be extinguished, no matter how hard she tries.



This was such a cute little story. Sabrina was adorable. She took things that have been discarded and finds new things to make out of them. She called it upcycled. She tried so hard at everything she did, though she was not always successful, in fact at times things went horribly awry. Her heart was so big. Trevor was frustrating at times, he was just so rigid. But there is nothing like an adorable Glamping Coordinator to melt the iciest of cowboys.

The next book in this series is Healing the Quarterback and I look forward to reading it.

Are you in the mood for a story that’s just plain fun with a bit of steamy tossed in for good measure? Then Breaking The Cowboy’s Rules is perfect to fill that particular longing.

Trevor has to find some additional income for his ranch or it’s in danger of going under. Debts left behind after his grandfather’s death mean some big payments are coming due far too soon. He might be desperate but this whole idea of “glamping” is totally foreign to his life style and mind set… but, if it can bring in some extra income and keeps his ranch running for another year – so be it bring on the glam. The thing is though, well, Trevor is a list maker, a rule maker, a follow the plan to the final period on the page kinda guy and the feisty, beautiful woman who is out to glam the ranch into the profit columns is as far from that mindset as is humanly possible. Sabrina is easily the best looking thing on the ranch, but if she even thinks about bedazzling his horses’s shoes he’s gonna throw a hissy fit to beat all hissy fits ever attempted. Her ideas to glam up the ranch are a bit, well, too much to handle for this down to earth cowboy. It’s going to take some compromise and some rethinking to make this whole thing work. And maybe a bit of romancing as well.

I can’t help it, this romance just put a big ole smile on my face. Trevor and Sabrina are about as different than night and day, but somehow they work together perfectly. Sometimes you don’t question magic, you simply go with the flow. Sabrina makes mistakes, but her heart is in the right place. Trevor has to learn to loosen up and let a little of the unconventional things in life make peace with his lists. Together they make quite an interesting fun couple.

I enjoyed my time at Wildhorse Ranch, and I believe you will, too. A fun romance with interesting people and a laid back feel that simply brings out the “feels good” in your day. I’d recommend this one for any Romance reader who simply wants to put a little fun and romance into their day.

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
This was a really quick read with lovable characters and a fun storyline but I just wish there was a lttle more to this book as I feel like it needed a little more time for the characters to fully develop and the romance to evolve.
Aside from that it was a really sweet cowboy romance and I am looking forward to see what the rest of this series brings.

[Evie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wild Ride is a short but sweet romance set on the Wildhorse ranch and the first in a new series.
Trevor is struggling with his ranch, it's not making enough money and he can't bear to give it up or sell his horses. Something has to change, so he hires Sabrina. She's a city girl who contrasts his grumpy attitude with her sunshiney one and creates a successful glamping business whilst butting heads with Trevor. But the two can't help feeling the attraction and as Sabrina continues to work and live on the ranch, sparks fly.
I really enjoyed this but it's so short! I definitely would have read another 150 pages of their story. As it's so quick, it does feel a little rushed towards the end but the chemistry is palpable between the two so their romance is believable to me.
Great for fans of cowboy/ranch romance and the grumpy & sunshine trope.

This is the first book in Avery North’s new series, Wildhorse Ranch Brothers.
This book is an easy read about two people that fight their attraction for each other. I enjoyed the characters but wish that there had been more information about them. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to other readers.

I received an ARC through Booksprout and this is my voluntary and honest review.

I am out of my comfort here - usually reading psycho thrillers, but I’m loving it! There’s a few tropes - opposites attract/ work colleagues, the book cover is, and it’s set on a ranch with cowboys! This was a fun, enjoyable read especially with the banter between Trevor and Sabrina! Thank you to the publisher for a copy.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Breaking the Cowboy’s Rules is the first book in the Wildhorse Ranch Brothers series by Leslie North. This is my first book by this author and it was a great introduction. This was a great beginning to a new series.

I have to admit that I have always had a fascination with horse farms and horse ranches. That is what originally drew me to this book and I loved reading about the Wildhorse Ranch and the Wild brothers. Unfortunately the ranch isn’t doing so well so Trevor Wild is looks into new ways of bringing in money for the horses. He ends up offering Glamping at the ranch…glamorous camping…and hires Sabrina Hearthstone to head up this new venture. I really liked Sabrina and so did Trevor, although he didn’t want to admit it at first.

Trevor and Sabrina were a great couple. Once they got past their “differences” and allowed themselves to give in to their mutual attraction they actually found that they made a great team. This was a quick read and the story flowed nicely. Sabrina’s character brought the comic relief and I enjoyed reading about her antics and Trevor’s reactions to them.

This was a great first book for a new series. I recommend it to readers who love a good cowboy romance and I am already looking forward to the next book!

***e-ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review***

This was a quick and romantic cowboy summer read.

An opposites attract romance, between a grumpy head rancher, and a “city girl” coming in to help improve the ranch to turn a profit.

Sabrina is an adventure coordinator; and is coming to Trevor’s family ranch to upgrade the land for “glamping”. He hates change, but is willing to let her try because they need the money.

She has all of these ideas, but he has rules and lists. And none of them allow for much change. Over time, she slowly gets him to accept her ideas. More so by asking forgiveness than permission.

The two butt heads, and bicker, but there is underlying heat and attraction.

I wish there was more character development, and that we got to see more of them together as a couple. This book is on the shorter side, so part of it felt rushed in order to get to the big ILY declaration.

It was light hearted and enjoyable over all, I just wish I got to see more back story and/or character development with Trevor and Sabrina.

[Cali Jewel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick, relaxing, sweet summer romance read perfect for a few hours of alone time in the back yard just soaking in the heat.

Ranch owner, Trevor Wild is all about following the rules (that is others following his rules) and crossing off his checklist. He is a strong sexy alpha male in charge of his ranch and not looking to really change it but needing extra income to keep from loosing his beloved horses. Glamping guru, Sabrina Hearthstone is as sweet as she is tempting for a city girl. She is here to save the ranch he loves but can he live with all the changes she wants to make, or the way she just can't seem to follow his rules. Sweetly, emotional and entertaining romantic journey.

Take one Rancher who runs a tight ship and lives by his rules, add one sexy city girl with ideas that will turn his world upside down. Breaking the Cowboy's Rules is a great story, Trevor and Sabrina are so different but also so much alike. I also loved the banter with Trent and Pete and very much look forward to reading more of this series

[Monica (switching platforms) · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5

Nice reading, but the spark didn’t hit me.
It’s a light and short cowboy romance story but I think it lacks development because of it. I am not against short books but I would like to see a development in those few pages, at least on one point. Here, the character development is not deep and despite the chemistry between Trevor and Sabrina being okay, I didn’t feel the progress of their relationship. I wish there were more substance.
The writing wasn't bad although I found the beginning a bit strange because there was no way to understand how the two protagonists met. There seemed to be a chapter missing and no explanation is given throughout the book.
I liked the ending, but I found it had little impact, indeed it seemed that the author wanted to speed up to go to the epilogue. In short, a nice reading with some good lines, but nothing memorable.


Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read the ebook ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4 star review of Breaking the Cowboy’s Rules (Wildhorse Ranch Brothers #1) by Leslie North
 
AUDIO REVIEW:
Both author Leslie North and narrator Rebecca Roberts are new to me.

I enjoyed the story of rancher Trevor Wild and Sabrina Hearthstone although it is not a long story. Trying to keep his family ranch afloat, Trevor wants to concentrate on breeding quarter horses but thanks to financial issues and a bad business deal he has no choice but to look elsewhere to increase the ranch’s finances.

Sabrina has been tasked with getting the ranch up to spec for glamping despite Trevor’s continued thwarting of her efforts; she has been hired to be the Adventure Co-ordinator at at the Wildhorse Ranch and is determined to do the job she has been hired for.

Despite his frustrations, Trevor finds himself attracted to Sabrina. The chemistry between Trevor and Sabrina burns brightly.

Although Trevor and his lists did get a tad frustrating at times, Sabrina’s determination and refusal to accept Trevor’s negativity was admirable. Will they stop arguing long enough to accept one another and realise their potential?

There were moments of humour that had me laughing. A lighthearted story with no angst or drama.
 
I enjoyed the story and Rebecca Roberts has a pleasant voice to listen when speaking as the female characters. However I do feel that her male voices let her down, the men all sounded like they were old, which was at odds with the storyline and for me this had a large impact on my listening enjoyment.

When Sabrina Hearthstone is sent to Wildhorse Ranch to help bring in more income she never thought the attraction she feels for ranch owner Trevor would be a problem, but when ever he´s near her she can´t think. With the mistakes she makes she thinks Trevor is going to send her packing, so what can she do when she is falling in love with the tempting cowboy who likes things run his way.
Trevor loves his ranch and runs it his way so when he needs to bring in Sabrina to help bring in extra income they don´t see eye to eye with each other, he thinks she´s a city girl, but the chemistry between them can´t be denied. So when Trevor gives in he finds Sabrina helps him. Will this run by the rules cowboy let Sabrina turn his ordered world on it´s head.

[Rosemary · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a short read with a fun premise. Trevor and his twin brother own the Wildhorse Ranch and despite wanting to stick with traditions and keep things as they are, they are in dire financial straights and know that something needs to change. They hire Sabrina, a Glamping expert, to come in and revitalize their ranch, in the hopes it will be able to turn a profit as the newest tourist destination. Though Trevor has a fast attraction to Sabrina these two disagree on everything. He is very set on his ways and he has a difficult time agreeing at first to all the changes Sabrina suggests. Eventually he sees the light and these two made for a fun and interesting read with a nice amount of steam. Looking forward to his brother's book!

Wow, who doesn't like a sexxy cowboy?

Leslie North has written many good books but I think I like cowboys the best ;--))

This book caught my attention in the first chapter and held it there until the Epilogue.

I like feisty women and the men that know how to shut them up when the time is right. Gotta watch the quiet sexy cowboys, they steal your heart before you know what hit you.

This book like all Leslie's books was well written and interesting.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary ARC of this book and highly recommend it as well as the author.

This is book one of the Wildhorse Ranch Brothers series and the main characters are Trevor Wild who runs the ranch and Sabrina Hearthstone, who he has hired to set up a glamping experience on the ranch, to help raise funds to keep his quarter horse breeding program from going under. What he isn’t used to is having someone upset his rigid way of running the ranch, with lists for everyone, giving them set times to get tasks done and when they can be in certain areas. Sabrina is a bit more of a free spirit, wanting to use his log pile to create rustic furniture and decorations, whilst he was about to chuck it all away. They seem to clash at every opportunity, as he knocks back all of her ideas for the glamping experience and wants to have more exposure for the glampers, to the real experiences on a ranch, such as slopping out stables and more. The two go from butting heads to exchanging kisses, but neither seems to want to take it further. Trevor because she is his employee, and Sabrina because she won’t be there long term, having to move on for her next job. Trevor just sees her as a city girl, but she was raised on a ranch during summers with her grandparents for many years and knows a lot more about ranch work and horses than he thinks. Her ideas may seem wacky to him and he sets her up to fail on a test day for her plans, with some locals who know ranching backwards. Her weird and wacky ideas such as bedazzling a horseshoe aren’t exactly something that interests any of them!

She wants to form a tight team for the glamping experience, but with Trevor not believing in her, that’s difficult! He agrees to the team building exercise and ropes her in for a particular team challenge at the local rodeo, thinking she would fail, but she is tougher than he thinks. The two get ever closer, but a distracted bit of upcycling almost destroys all the trust between them and could make the ranch fail completely! Whether she can make it right between them, or will just have to cut her loses and run away, will depend on her personal strength and whether she believes there could be a chance with her wild man who has made a mark on her heart. Both were willing to give up something valuable to them and their past. No pain, no gain, in the journey for a relationship that can last. A perfect romance tale with a twosome who butt heads constantly, has a touch of steam, and with nothing ever going completely smoothly. A perfect start to the series and I look forward to reading about his twin brother Trent, and their step brother Charlie. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

A wonderful read and I guarantee that you will enjoy this immensely and be captivated
This is a splendid read and I guarantee that once you start reading this simply wonderful story that you will find it impossible to put the book down until you discover what the final outcome will be, it is a story that had been so well written and the scenario is intoxicating and I guarantee a late night of reading until you reach the final page and discover the outcome.
Trevor Wild has a love for his horses and will do anything and everything it takes to ensure that his Wildhorse Ranch is something he is able to serve all of the desired horses having the best care possible. Sabrina is an expert and she has a renowned reputation and I am sure that you will be amazed at how amazing Trevor’s Ranch is and the fact that this beautiful female is causing a change on his ranch and he is enjoying watching her as she instils her expertise.
Trevor still doesn't trust her and Sabrina can't keep waiting for him to realize she's more than just some city girl. She can only allow for so much patience and this is why it is essential that they come together and found a solution to their problems.
I am sure that like me you will love every moment of this simply amazing story and I am sure that you will be blown away by this wonderful book and you will love the author as much as myself.

Trevor wants to save his ranch so he hires Sabrina to start a glamping program to help bring in desperately needed cash. Unfortunately, he doesn't really believe in the glamping program and he's stuck in his ways so it's almost impossible for him to see it might just have value. But it turns out Sabrina just might be the change that Trevor and the ranch have been needing.

Trevor is a pretty moody guy throughout most of the story. The author showed clearly that he does not communicate well but he does see and appreciate the people around him. I really like that he was nuanced even though it's a short story. His relationship with his twin brother was good and I am looking forward to reading Trent's story. Sabrina is a bubbly ray of sunshine with lots of ideas. She remains a ray of sunshine throughout but the author shows that Sabrina needs to find a place to call her own. I like that both of the characters needed the connection that they found with each other.

What confused me was why Trevor would even agree to even try a glamping program with how negative he was about it until the very end. I thought it was strange. Also, how is Sabrina a glamping expert. I really needed to have that spelled out because she just kept coming up with ideas and then throwing them out. Shouldn't she have already had a set of successful programs if she is an expert?

This story takes place in small town Texas. This is a grumpy/sunshine love story. I would probably give this story a 3.5 if I could because it was a good introduction to the series but it wasn't great. I will read more from this author in the future.

Wild Ride is the first book in Leslie North's series Wildhorse Ranch Brothers. Leslie North has become a go to author for me in the past few months. I don't think there's been one book that I haven't loved. I connect to the writing style and I love the characters.

Wild Ride is a grumpy vs. sunshine romance that is just so sweet and charming, it's hard for me not to love it.

Trevor Wild needs to save his family's beloved ranch. To do so, he plans everything to the nth degree and has checklists for everything. Organisation is everything. To make money he brings in a specialist to set up a glamping program based on the ranch. This is where Sabrina Heartstone comes into the picture. She's smart, sassy and an expert at setting up glamping experiences. The problem is her free spirited style doesn't quite match with Trevor's regimented style.

While the sexual tension is off the charts, the bickering between the couple is constant. They both have a lot to learn about compromise and they do start learning their lessons, no matter how difficult it is. They both know what they want, both on the ranch and on a more personal level. Trevor and Sabrina shouldn't work as a couple but somehow they totally do.

This is the first story in Leslie North's "Wildheart Ranch Brothers " series with promises of more to come.
Trevor Wild and his twin brother Trent were as different as chalk and cheese, Trevor was morose and stubborn whilst Trent was cheerful and easy going.
Their father had died, Trent followed his dream and became sheriff of the small ranching town where they lived, their younger step brother Charlie had followed his dream to play football leaving Trevor to run the family ranch. Trevor loved the ranch and he loved breeding horses but the ranch was fading, he needed to diversify.
Enter beautiful, sassy, city girl Sabrina Hearthstone, against Trevor's better judgement she had been hired to set up a glamping business on the ranch giving city people a taste of ranch life.
Sabrina came full of ideas most of which Trevor shot down, he wasn't having a city girl, no matter how beautiful, interfering with the running of his ranch.
It soon became clear that there was chemistry between the two of them but could Sabrina win him round ? would Trevor swallow his pride and admit that her ideas made sense ?could they pull the ranch round between them ? what would Sabrina do when her contract ended ?
An enjoyable, emotional, romance and I look forward to the next one in the series.

Trevor Wilde is a rancher who breeds quarter horses. He inherited the ranch from his grandfather but the ranch has financial problems so Trevor needs cash, and soon. Trevor’s twin brother Trent hired Sabrina to start up a glamping business. Trevor is a gruff man who likes to be in control all the time and bot too thrilled to have a blonde city girl uproot his life with all these ideas that interfere with his daily life. It seems he does everything in his power to discourage her, which is a bit weird since he hired her to do her job.
The story was a bit superficial in my opinion. I would have loved a bit more character development and to see the relationship grow and evolve. I missed that, the characters were a bit shallow. For example, Trevor was furious at Sabrina when she accidentally took old stuff from the neighbors which she assumed was trash. Totally overreacting, IMO. He could have easily given her the benefit of the doubt, be nice and calmly explain like you might expect from an adult. Despite that kind of attitude, they soon kiss, and that came out of the blue. I missed the chemistry. Trevor is easily angered and Sabrina sometimes acts very silly and insecure. I liked the setting but the story just didn’t work for me.

Taming The Cowboy -
When Trevor signed the contract with Sabrina so he could bring in another avenue stream on income, he was of the mindset that she and her clients would stay out of his way. Sabrina in the other hand had a different perspective on how she wanted things to work out for the benefit of the ranch. This created tension between them, that led to an unexpected attraction towards each other.

Unfortunately, just as they settled into a semblance of a relationship, an unexpected situation caused Trevor to blow his gasket, which made Sabrina consider their professional and personal relationship. Fortunately, Trevor realised his problems in time and did everything within his power to ensure they got their chance at a happy life together.

I really enjoyed reading this story and found myself totally engrossed from the beginning, until the end. I am happy to recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance book, but more importantly, it left me looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Amazing, do not pass this story up! easy flowing story with characters who have a spark, an electricity between them. You will fall in love with them. Trevor loves being a rancher. Of his three brother’s he is directly responsible for running Wildhorse Ranch. He is trying everything possible to keep the ranch running and make it profitable. He is stepping out of his comfort zone on this new endeavor - glamping. He knows nothing about it so he has hired a professional event planner, Sabrina. Their first encounter is filled with some feisty, sassy, spunky, spicy back and forth. You can feel the electricity. Trevor is set in his ways, stubborn, methodical and Sabrina has so-o-o many ideas. Will they be able to work together? The two are constantly bumping heads on what will and will not work. Then they up start discovering, exploring, and confiding in each other and working together. It’s an entertaining, funny, enjoyable, caring, tender story. As the story continues you will be entertained by their witty comebacks, their playfulness, romance and the ultimate - love. It is a winner!!.

Trevor wanted to make his ranch flourish. He hired Sabrina Heartstone to help. She had all these ideas his was not ready for. He is a cowboy born and raised. Sabrina is getting under his skin. He has checklists and rules to live by. Sabrina has ideas. She calls them glampers. She needs to win over her audience. Trevor gathers people from town to test out her ideas. Trevor is attracted to Sabrina. She is attracted to him but she is afraid to cross that line. They have had steamy kisses but she puts a stop to it before they go to far. Trevor never had a woman drive him crazy the way she does. She is a city girl and she is different from the women he is use to. Sabrina finally gives into Trevor. They both had reservations but gave into the passion. Trevor didn’t want the ranch hands to see him leaving her place. Communication between them is spotty. I didn’t think they would ever get together. I’m glad they ended together and happy. Hopefully his twin brother Trent can find happiness even though he is the sheriff.

This is a great dive into the ranches of Wildhorse Ranch. You are met with the man, Trevor, who runs the whole show, rather independently, who comes home to find his twin brother, Trent, has given the new "glamping" coordinator a show of the ranch, Sabrina.

Trevor lives his life on a schedule, whether that be for cleaning, chores or anything else that needs to be done at the ranch. He's only one man so he likes to have an idea of how each day is going to play out. Sabrina comes in with a bright smile, big heart, and many new ideas. She is all set to start new programs, upcycle things from around the ranch, and push Trevor past the stalemate his ranch was becoming.

You are met with some hilarious banter between the two as Sabrina tries to win Trevor over with her ideas. He is surprised to learn she has ranching in her system too, and is able to catch him unexpected a time or two. The slow burn on the story makes their time together even more important.

If you are looking for you next book...come here. You've got tons of laughter, wit, sexy smouldering, and a few new ways to become a team...you'll find it here!

Original, page-turner, entertaining, romantic, wonderful characters, HEA

Wild Ride is a wonderful journey with the characters Leslie North has created. They include an incredibly strong and independent Sabrina who loves life. She has a bright outlook and is always looking to make the best of every situation. Then, there is Trevor who is a serious man with a lot riding on his shoulders. Trevor is solely responsible for the success and failure of his family’s ranch. Having to bring on a lifestyle coordinator to supplement his ranch’s income feels like a failure to Trevor. Although, he must admit that Sabrina’s presence and ideas are necessary if he wants to keep from selling his ranch off in pieces. Together, they will learn to trust each other for the successes they both want to see for the ranch. Together, they will also make the time to learn about one another.

I received a free advance reader copy and am voluntarily leaving a review. I love reading a Leslie North work. And while this is part of a series, it can stand alone. And because I enjoyed this book so much, I plan on reading the entire Wildhorse Ranch Brothers series.

Trevor is worried about the Wildhorse ranch as it is having some trouble. So he hires Sabrina as Glamping Coordinator. Yes, a glamorous camping coordinator. His twin Trent, introduces her around the ranch while Trevor is away at a convention. Trent is the town Sheriff. Their youngest half-brother, Charlie is the star quarterback for the Texas Teamsters. So Sabrina wants to bedazzle, upcycle and do crafts, etc., the people who want to get a ranching experience at the Wildhorse. Sabrina and Trevor butt heads a lot at the beginning regarding what is expected of each other. I laughed a lot during this book because some of the things she does is just a riot. Sabrina is not about to let another ranch go down the tubes like her grandparents, not on her watch! Watching them bicker and her ideas is hilarious and enlightening. I found myself upcycling with my crafts. Lol. I can’t wait to read the books about his brothers.
