Mustang Ridge #3
Harvest at Mustang Ridge
When former lovers reunite at Mustang Ridge, old feelings run wild….
With guest season about to start at the ranch, Krista Skye needs to track down a new head wrangler fast. Unfortunately, the best man for the job is the last person Krista wants to see—Wyatt Webb, the college sweetheart who left her behind. Wyatt has major reservations about working with Krista as well, but he has his own reasons for wanting to stay in town.
Although Krista and Wyatt are all business at first, sparks fly as they work side by side, preparing for an upcoming country fair. Even though rekindling their relationship brings up painful memories, they’re not the same people they used to be—and neither can deny that there’s still something special between them. They have one last opportunity to save a good thing before it’s too late, but one of them will have to find the courage to take a chance on love....

I always enjoy these stories where you know that everything will work out and everyone will be happy. I read so many different genres that reading a story like "Harvest at Mustang Ranch" is a wonderful break from reading heavy subjects.
Jesse Hayworth writes with a clear vision of her setting, characters and plot. The dude ranch setting was fun to read about. I enjoyed all of the guests and workers that were at the ranch. I was able to "see" the characters clearly and play the novel like a movie in my mind.
There are other novels that came before this one, but I didn't feel like I was missing things by not having read the others. The first chapter of the next novel was in the back of this novel.
This is such a pleasant, happily ever after, romantic read. I enjoyed all of it.

Wonderful storyline. Love this Mustang Ridge series.

Book 3 in Jesse Hayworth’s Mustang Ridge series tells us Krista Skye’s story. Not only is Krista a smart businesswoman, but she’s strong and determined. The reason this story won’t get 5 stars is that I am seeing a pattern in the writing where Hayworth employs the same idea: the lead characters decide to have a relationship for “x” time, agreeing to just have fun while it lasts. I will probably read the next in the series, but I hope this same theme ends. I return to Mustang Ridge for the characters but would like to see more originality behind the main characters who get together.

As usual, I enjoyed visiting the Skys in Harvest at Mustang Ridge. I liked the second chance romance between Krista and Wyatt. I liked how the Skys continue to develop and grow as individuals.

This is one of my favorite contemporary series, always an emotional story that brings engaging characters to life with interesting stories. Ms. Hayworth introduced us to a family with flaws in the beginning and as we read each of their stories we see how they interact with emotions and love.
Krista Skye runs the Mustang Ridge Guest Ranch. This was her vision, one she fought for and now she sees that her hard work and sacrifice is working as the place is thriving. She has put her whole life on hold to make it work but she was fine with this as she feels this is what she was meant to do. In college she thought she had found the one person she would have shared her life with, her dream of this place but he hurt her deeply, enough to keep her head down for the past eight years.
Wyatt Webb is visiting his friend Sam, he knows Krista lives here and would like to see her to talk to her, apologize for what happened. He strung her along, stood her up in public in front of her parents during graduation and then left a note that said he was leaving. When he finally gets the chance she brushes him off and he thinks they are done.
When Foster, her head wrangler gets hurt much to the surprise of everyone including herself, she calls him and he accepts the job. He is a world renown artist, works with metal and odd junk found different places to make horses items that depict ranch life.
There is a yearly contest that they like to enter, pick a wild Mustang and then train it to show off it's skills in six weeks. The Mustang Ridge gang go down to find the perfect horse.
He had an absent father and took care of his sister for years while his mother worked. He is afraid he will be like his father as he does not stay too long anywhere or with anyone.
Emotional.
I have enjoyed the previous stories from the Mustang Ridge and this is another winner. The family is all back home and ready to share in the success of the Guest ranch as they each contribute in their own way.
This is Krista's vision and she has poured her heart into the venture. She loves interacting with the guest and even goes the extra mile to make them happy. She has put her life on hold these past eight years to make a life for herself, but also because she was hurt by the one man who is now back. I love how her family tries to protect her from Wyatt, as they were there at the end and picked up the pieces. I also enjoy how strong she is and how upfront she is with Wyatt when they realize they are unable to deny the attraction. She is the one who kisses him first, I was surprised when that happened because she was so hurt by him but "yay Krista" she is a delightful heroine.
Wyatt is an enigma, his friend warned Krista about how he had an "eight week buzzer" during his college years and things have not changed since. But he jumps at the chance to work at the ranch. I like how he stands up her family, owns up to his mistakes back then and opens himself up to criticism from her friends and family, the dinner with her friends is hilarious with their not so hidden innuendoes.
The two have some amazing chemistry and are great together, I was actually happy they did not dance around each other for very long, they admitted to the continued attraction and moved on.
The pace of the story works well, we get glances of their past but only after they have been together, and their romance is laced with other issues that are happening around the ranch, as life goes on despite your romantic life. Secondary characters are key to this story as the family is very close and interacts frequently, I enjoyed the grandparents side story as they are about to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary with the added problems of how to age without angry. All in all a wonderful story of family.

Readers return to Mustang Ridge with Jesse Hayworth in her third book in the series, Harvest at Mustang Ridge. This is a heartwarming story of two people taking a second chance at love. Hayworth has a knack for writing not only the human characters in her stories, but the animal characters as well. Readers looking for a book that is about friendship, family and the ties that bind will love this one!
What I liked:
Jesse Hayworth knows how to write a book that will tug at your heartstrings. Often readers know from the onset that the main couple will eventually have a happy ending with Hayworth's books, but it's the journey that makes all the difference. The Mustang Ridge series has introduced readers to a family that loves the land, the people and the animals that make up their home. The Skye family is close knit, determined and they have each others back. Readers will not be able to find any faults with this bunch. They are realistic and lovable at the same time. I loved getting to know Krista who actually runs the ranch in Harvest at Mustang Ridge. She was a great character who deserved a great story and Hayworth certainly gives it to her.
Krista and Wyatt have known each other for a long time and I enjoyed the way they interacted with each other. Hayworth gives readers a couple who probably shouldn't like each other given their past and shows that time does heal wounds and that second chances are possible. I felt like these two characters had so much depth to them. Krista is determined to make the ranch a success and even bites back her pride to ask Wyatt for help. Wyatt is an artist, a metal sculptor. I loved the idea of his career and that he felt he real inspiration came from being home. These characters were just right for each other and that came across in the writing so well.
Another thing I appreciate about Hayworth's writing is her ability to write the animals in her books. She has a way of understanding how these creatures view the world. I've been around a horse or two in my day and this author knows horses. Right down to how a wild mustang might be feeling as it is introduced to life on the ranch. I loved Klepto the dog, he was a great character as well. I once had a dog that would grab things right out of your hand if you weren't quick enough to stop her. LOL! I loved that aspect of this book. The animals were as real as the humans!
My favorite part of this series and especially this book is the interaction of the Skye family. The main characters Krista and Wyatt see the majority of the time in this book, as it should be, but the secondary characters include the rest of Krista's family. The Skye's are something else. They are so realistic. They aren't the perfect family where everything works out just the way you think is should. They have real emotions and real struggles and like a family should, they pull together when they need to. I loved that about this book.
What I didn't like:
Not much to add here, this was a great book and a welcome addition to the series!
Bottom Line:
If you like books about family, friendship and cowboys, this is a good choice for you. Hayworth has a knack for writing both human and animal characters and the family dynamic of the Skye family is extremely enjoyable to read. The romance was heartwarming and ended perfectly and readers will love all of the things that make Mustang Ridge a great place to read about.

Harvest At Mustang Ridge by Jesse Hayworth is a great book. It’s a story about rekindled love, family ties, romance and even some animals.
Krista Skye’s family owns Mustang Ridge Ranch. Besides the day to day operations of the ranch, Krista is trying to break in a mustang and get the horse ready to compete in the Harvest Fair Mustang Makeover. This is a competition that Krista wants to win so that she can take the prize money and put it back into the ranch. The head wrangler of the ranch gets injured and Krista needs to find a replacement. The best person for the job is Wyatt Webb, who broke her heart by leaving her 8 years ago.
Wyatt Webb left Krista because he couldn’t handle being tied down to one person. His childhood was such that he had to become the man of the house at a too early age. His father was never around very much and he had to help his mother and sister. He feels like his father’s wandering has molded him into being a person that has to keep moving and not stay in one place too long. He has returned to the area to try to get his creative juices flowing again. He’s a metal sculptor now that is having a creative block and he thinks returning to his roots will help him. When Krista asks for his help, Wyatt cannot say no. What follows is a heartwarming tale of forgiveness, renewed love and fulfilled dreams.
The characters are well developed, realistic and well rounded.. They display the same human traits that we all have, such as jealousy, forgiveness, and longing, just to name a few. The characters feel like friends and family and they are the type of people you would like to hang out with. You begin to care about them and want to see them happy. The secondary characters are as well developed as the main characters and they add a lot to the story. Even the animals have personalities. Klepto is an adorable dog who not only steals your heart but also anything he can sink his teeth into. Jupiter is the wild mustang and you can just picture his skittishness, strength and agility.
The writing style flows easily and the book is an easy read. The descriptive writing, whether talking about the characters or setting adds something extra special to the book. Many times I felt like I was right there on the ranch, being part of the action.
I think the thing I like best about the book is the family closeness. Three generations of Skyes live on the ranch and family is very important to Krista. They are willing to help each other out with any problem that may arise. Wyatt’s childhood could not have been more different but after spending time with Krista and her family, he realizes he wants to belong to this close-knit loving family.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book that is the perfect blend of romance, friendship, and family. It’s definitely a romance book but it’s so much more than that. After researching the author, I see that she has other Mustang Ridge books to read. I’m very excited about that because now I can keep in touch with my friends at Mustang Ridge.

Harvest at Mustang Ridge is the 3rd book in Jesse Hayworth’s Mustang Ridge series. I have said this before and I will repeat. I will read anything by Jesse Hayworth/Jessica Andersen, as her writing is always written so well; compelling stories, wonderful romances, holds your interest throughout, and fun enjoyable reads.
I love this series, as each book is so much fun to read. Krista Skye has been my favorite character from the start, and it’s about time she got her book. Truth be told, Krista is Mustang Ridge, as it was her idea to build the ranch from the family property. In the last book, her sister Jenny found her man, and got married. I was so anxious for Krista to get her story.
Wyatt Web is our hero, and he has been away a long time. He was Krista’s college sweetheart, who walked away from her all those years ago. He is back in town for a summer visit, and Krista sees him from afar. Shortly thereafter, Foster, Mustang Ridge’s head wrangler gets hurt badly, and is disabled for the summer. Krista knows there is only person who can fill those shoes during this busy summer, but does she want him to be so close to her…Wyatt.
What follows is a wonderful uplifting enjoyable story of all the fun at Mustang Ridge, and spending time with those we learned to love in the earlier books. But most of all, it is the story of a beautiful romance between Krista and Wyatt. Krista is always the one to help others, to solve problems, and not think about her own life. She never forgot Wyatt, and how much he hurt her. Wyatt too has never forgotten Krista, nor what he did to her. But he was a wanderer, someone who cannot stay in one place for long. Will Krista allow herself to fall once again for Wyatt? Can Wyatt get past his old habits, and stay and build a life with Krista?
It did not take too long for both Krista and Wyatt to feel their attraction to each other begin to heat up again. They had so much passion between them that you prayed they would find a way to stay together, not just a summer fling that they agreed on. Their romance sizzled, and they were so right for one another. Harvest at Mustang Ridge was a wonderful fun filled story, with a great sexy and lovable couple. I adored Krista and Wyatt together. If you enjoy romance, a sexy couple, family , ranch background, and terrific secondary characters, you need to read this series. Jesse Hayworth continues to make us feel like home at Mustang Ridge.

REVIEW
The author, Jesse Hayworth wrote another wonderful book, this time Harvest AT MUSTANG RIDGE which is a story of second chances.
The heroine is Krista Skye, a strong young woman who ramrods the Mustang Ridge guest ranch.
She runs into an old boy friends which she hasn't seen in years. Second chances - Wyatt and Krista start to send those sparks flying. They are now adults instead of the college age when they first met.
The author brought in characters from the previous books and also introduced new characters. I felt this was good since it gave new interactions and new scenes.The author gave us a lot of humor which made us smile and laugh. She also showed how the love holding the Skye family together keeps that family light shining. The author hasn't written anything but pure wonderful books. They are filled with all the things a reader wants, good plots, love, happy endings and not all good things but the struggles also.Once I got started reading I couldn't let go, just like the other books. I also liked that this wasn't just a romance novel but a family and how they can work together to keep the family together. The author didn't just write about the hero and the heroine but about the entire family and their growth.If you like second chances, romance, the struggle it takes,dude ranches, cowboys and a sweet, tender story about finding love and getting a second chance, then this book should satisfy your palette. This is the third book in the series and it will definitely go on my shelf next to the others. Wonderful books to keep and re-read.
I received a complimentary copy of HARVEST AT MUSTANG RIDGE from the author, Jesse Hayworth for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.

~Mustang Ridge~hold onto your saddles..You're in for some real fun...I loved this book. It has everything you want..
Well Krista Skye has been running Mustang Ridge for quite some time now. Every weekend they get new guests that
stay at the ranch..the fun part is they're all themed. One was called"Reunion Week"...it went better then anyone could have imagined..She doesn't do it all on her own. Her mom, dad, Gran., and grandpa who goes by as Big Skye.
Krista has won first choice in The Harvest Fair and Mustang Makeover something the Mayor named..
As Krista went to pick up her horse she see's her college sweetheart Wyatt Webb....
It was a long time, and he walked away from her.
They were done, but now she was stuck and needed help after getting some bad news..it would be a big mistake if she called him...
Wyatt Webb was a cowboy, and artist.. He left because something was missing..the minute he saw Krista well it wasn't a big surprise to him.
He was surprised at her call, but his answer was yes... maybe it could be a sign for a second chance, but then again he wasn't the stick in one place kind of guy. He sure didn't before.
Now as Krista and Wyatt are working together it's become pretty obvious that the connection is still there. They agree just temporary. He's helping with the guests, the new horse..so that's that. Or is it? They both know what they think there doing.
One book you don't want to miss on reading,..Excellent serious...Full of heart, family values, laugh out loud moments, and crying too...They tie into each other. Amazing and just so sweet...
I love Jesse Hayworth. I'm hooked on her books...

Now as Krista and Wyatt are working together it's become pretty obvious that the connection is still there. They agree just temporary. He's helping with the guests, the new horse..so that's that. Or is it? They both know what they think there doing.
One book you don't want to miss on reading,..Excellent serious...Full of heart, family values, laugh out loud moments, and crying too...They tie into each other. Amazing and just so sweet...
I love Jesse Hayworth. I'm hooked on her books...

Wyatt is back home for the summer. He helps Krista during her time of need but is unsure of their relationship. Years ago, he left town, and abandoned their relationship. Time and distance has not diminished his feels for her but can he convince her that what he feels for her is the real deal?
Okay so part of my reasons for not loving this book the way that I could have is because I didn’t read the previous books. I felt as though I was missing a part of the story with the other characters (they were previously introduced).
What I did enjoy about the characters were the heartfelt interactions between them all. There was so much family drama and misunderstandings that got sorted out but it took some time. I have to go back to read the other stories in the series but I look forward to it.
I immediately liked Krista. She is hard working and loyal. She put everyone else’s needs before her own. She is constantly in family and friend mode. It is nice to see Wyatt help her throughout the summer and re-connect. Krista is one of those heroines that romance readers want to have a good love story and she got her second chance with Wyatt.

Harvest at Mustang Ridge, Mustang Ridge #3, by Jesse Hayworth
Grade: C-
"I'm nobody's old broccoli."
Krista Skye is in desperate need of a head wrangler for her ranch for the summer. Unfortunately the only person who is qualified and available is Wyatt Webb. Wyatt has just come back to town since he ran off the day of Krista's college graduation eight years earlier, only leaving a note and a broken heart and he is the last person Krista wants to higher. Now with Wyatt living on the ranch and interacting with him everyday, Krista finds those old feelings coming back and no matter how many times she tells herself Wyatt is leaving again her heart can't deny what it wants.
I usually love books where the couples have a history together, especially if it's was a bad break up like Wyatt and Krista, but this book fell flat for me. I found myself unable to get I to the story, care about the characters and found my mind wandering all the time. I struggled to finish it and felt that it. Evade way too predictable towards the end.
I liked Krista but felt she was way too good for Wyatt and I wanted her to stand up for herself and find someone else. Everything about Wyatt bothered me and he came off as a selfish jerk and I found myself struggling to not give him the middle finger at times. Wyatt ruined the book for me and sadly made it a big disappointment. I don't think I will be revisiting Mustang Ridge in the future.

I really loved this book. It made me laugh and smile. It was heartfelt and even a littl real.
Krist loves living at home on her families ranch. She has made her dream come true. Each day and each week is a new adventure for her. But when her old love comes back to town and she hires him for help. She just thought he would help and leave like he usually does. But she forgot one thing, she forgot her heart that got involved too.
Wyatt is known for not sticking around. When Krista called and asked him for his help he thought he would explain why he broke her heart in college and then leave like he always does. Because his profession is sculpting out of metal now he could stay but he doesn't want he walla to close in on him again. So he doesn't commit.
We all know what happens hen. Hearts g involved and agreements go out the window. Wyatt finally falls back in love with Krista and wants to settle down. He even asks her to marry him.
I especially loved this book. It made me hope for love. But the best part was he dog. He made the book full of fun and laughter.
Please read this book. I highly recommend it.

You just can't go wrong with a Jesse Hayworth/Jessica Andersen book. I'm not the first/only person to say that. She's one of my auto-buy authors. I anxiously await the next book she puts out. Her Nightkeeper series remains one of my all time favorites. I've never really wanted to take a vacation at a mustang ranch, but after reading this series, I'm tempted!! This is the 3rd book in the series and it's about second chances. Can you really make it work even better than it was before? Well, Krista and Wyatt did. After a journey through much heartache and challenges and lots of fun along the way, these two cross over from childhood sweethearts to adults finding their HEA. We get to see the other couples often in this book--which I LOVE--because it's also all about family. Love this series!! Can't wait for the next one--Firelight at Mustang Ridge--out in February. Jesse/Jessica rocks!! I'd recommend this series to anyone!

I received a print copy in exchange for an honest review from Berkley.
Harvest at Mustang Ridge is the 3rd book in the Mustang Ridge series. Fans of the series will definitely enjoy this one because the author is sure to include all the favorite characters from previous books, I suggest that anyone just starting out go back to read the first ones so that it gives them a better connection and understanding of the bond between the characters and the reasons behind what brought our main characters Krista and Wyatt together in the first place and why their actions and reactions are the way they are.
I felt the story was well written but as someone stepping in mid series it made it hard to follow but it didn't make me enjoy the story any less. Jesse writes very well and knows how to construct a great story.

I was so fortunate the day I found Jesse Hayworth...her books are a joy to read and they always leave me wanting more! I love the family dynamics in this series. I also enjoy the way that she tells her story develops her characters and sneaks in her humor!! Krista Skye was just waiting for her true love to return she just didn't know it! Her and Wyatt seem to be nothing alike but they have every thing in common! Now I just have to sit and wait for the next installment of Mustang Ridge! If you haven't tried her books yet and you love contemporary romance don't miss your chance to get started now!

Will Krista and Wyatt take a second chance on love? Find out as you read this wonderful story of finding love again. You will be hooked in right from the beginning as I was. Dude ranch, cowboys and romance what else do you need! This is the 3rd book in the series and will look forward to read the next installment. Don't miss this series and Jesse Hayworth is a 5 star author. She is a must to read and auto buy. She is a keeper.
This was a Goodreads giveaway and my opinion is my own. Thank you for the chance to read this book.

You can never go wrong with a Jesse Hayworth/Jessica Andersen book and once again this book is proof. Krista and Wyatt’s story is fabulous, tender, yet filled with conflict as these two find their way back to each other, not to what they had before, but to something better, stronger that will last a lifetime. And if their story isn’t enough to grab your attention (and heart) then the rest of the Skye family should do that for you, because this is also a story of family. Absolutely loved it and am looking forward to the next one already.

Love, love, love this series! This book is about Krista, who runs the family dude ranch. Her head wrangler has an accident and she needs to replace him super fast. The only one she can find that she knows can handle the job is Wyatt. He happens to be an old love who left her years ago. He wants to make up for the way things went down and agrees to take the job, even though he is now a successful artist. The old feelings are still there for both, even though Krista's family's warnings are ringing in their ears. Should they risk it again?

I received a free copy of this book thru goodreads and I'm sure glad I did! Once I started it, I didn't put it down until I turned the last page. Having read the previous books in this series, I'm glad Krista finally got her own book and happy ending. The love story between Wyatt and Krista is very relatable. We have all had that one guy that got away or things didn't work out because of timing, well here first loves get a second chance. This is a must read, you won't be disappointed.

Another fabulous addition to the series. I loved "revisiting" Mustang Ridge - and this time the central love story is about second chances. And oh, what a story it is. My only complaint? I have to wait for the next book!!! But Ms. Hayworth promises it will be out in February. So now I have to wait - and maybe read the books over again. They're that good. I highly recommend these books.

Loved Loved Loved it!! Cowboys, small towns, and romance, the perfect combination and no one does it better than Jesse Hayworth! I adore this series and I was not disappointed with this book. It's a beautifully written second chance story and the characters of Wyatt and Krista are perfect. This book as well as the series is one I highly recommend.
August 2, 2014
Wow. Loved it. This book moved along at a great pace, has characters that you will fall in love with and a story that once you start reading will keep you interested and entertained from beginning to end. This is one book that needs to be on your must read list, there is no doubt about it. Read it as soon as you can, you will not be sorry.

Just finished this book last night. I received a copy thru the Goodreads First Reads program. I thought it would be the perfect book for a beach read. I am so happy that it ended the way it did because, as I was reading about Krista and Wyatt, I was worried he would end up taking the easy way out. I will have to look for other books by this author...truly enjoyed the book.

This book was a hard one for me to finish. The beginning was good but the middle dragged. I had to do the unthinkable (skimming) in order to finish. Around the 80% mark it got good again. I'm glad that I was able to get this as a library book, it's not a book I would see myself reading more than once.
August 22, 2014
Wow! Another great "can't put the book down" read!! The characters are real and the story unravels with just the right touch. I have enjoyed every book by Jesse Hayworth and really hope that she continues writing these heart-felt wonderful books!! Really Recommend all the books in Mustang Ridge.

wasn't my favorite in the series, but still a solid 3.5 stars
