Sinner's Secret
I might be a cowboy, but I’m no gentleman.
Ten years ago I crossed the line with my younger brother’s best friend. I knew she was in love with me, and I couldn’t resist her. River Adams gave me her heart on her eighteenth birthday. I broke her in return and made her hate me. I thought walking away from her would be easy, but I never expected to come face to face with everything I gave up.
Thanks to a stipulation in my dad’s will, she’s back and we have to live together.
Me.
Her.
My brother Walker, who has carried a torch for her since they were kids.
And, how could I forget, Bishop? The ranch hand who can’t keep his eyes off her.
The years between us may not matter anymore, but the secrets and lies always will. My family has blood on its hands, no one more so than me. If she finds out the truth about Twisted Cross Ranch she’ll never forgive me.
I was born to be the villain, but when she looks at me, I wish I could be her hero.
For fans of Yellowstone, USA Today Bestselling Authors K. Loraine & Meg Anne bring you a new dark cowboy mafia series. Red-hot, gritty, suspenseful, and loaded with angst, Twisted Cross Ranch is the escape you didn’t know you needed. Hang on tight, darlin’, these ain’t your mama’s cowboys.

Plot: 5/5 • Smut: 4/5 ————> Cowboys. Special Agent. and a girl who ran away 10 years ago. What’s not to love? After being summoned back to Twisted Cross Ranch, a place River thought she’d never see again, she has to deal with the two Cross brothers and their ranch hand, Bishop. Partial enemies to lovers. Partial friends to lovers. No third act break up 😍😍 and no unexpected pregnancy 😍😍, but we do get some nice breeding kink, and a HEA. Smut was good.

February 7, 2025Most times I wish Audible would give us a little more info on the books they offer. In this instance even the blurb on Amazon didn’t really give me an accurate description of what to expect from this series. Although it does suggest you check the author’s website for a full list of content and trigger warnings.

I enjoy sexy contemporary romances but not erotica where the story just seems to be something to put between kinky sex scenes. While this series does contain a decently engrossing suspense story and even some romance (sort of) the sexual exploits of the characters just aren’t my cup of tea. The authors did a yeoman’s job of trying to make love and sex between three men and one woman seem beautiful. But it just didn’t work for me. If you’re into reverse harem erotica (which I’m not) with a heroine (River Adams) with a seemingly insatiable sex drive, no inhibitions and open to just about every kink I can think of, and three very morally gray, alpha males, (brothers Daniel and Walker Cross and ex SEAL Sterling Bishop) who are strangely willing to share her rather than make her chose between them because she’s just so damn irresistible and they love her so much they just want to make her happy, you might just love this series. I didn’t. I really like contemporary romances in a western setting. I really enjoy contemporary romances with an element of suspense. And I really enjoy beautiful lusty heroines. But as much as I enjoy sexy times in my romances, I don’t want to read about the female protagonist getting double or triple penetrated or blowing three guys one right after the other. Call me a prude I guess. And while I don’t see the world in just back and white I don’t see running drugs and guns as a morally gray area. Again, if these aren’t issues for you along with quite a bit of violence, go ahead and enjoy this series.

River left home ten years ago, after the boy she thought she loved broke her heart the day after her eighteenth birthday. Having sworn never to return, that choice is taken away from her when her friends’ father passes away, and the will cannot be read without her presence. She reluctantly returns to the ranch, only to be forced to face the man who broke her, and find out that she is now the majority owner of the ranch and everything it holds.
Cross knew that forcing River to walk away all those years ago was the best thing for her, but little did he know what her return would mean for him, or his younger brother. Determined to keep her at arms length, he will go at any length to make sure that she still hates him.
Walker has been in love with his best friend since they were children, but years ago he stepped away to give his brother a chance, only for him to have driven River away, and have her disappear from his life completely. Now that she’s back, and forced to live under the same roof, he won’t let his chance pass again.
Bishop has been working on the ranch for over a year now, but when River makes an appearance, he is drawn to her in a way that he can’t explain. Having survived unexplainable trauma in the past, he doesn’t let anyone get close, except her.
This trilogy was a wild ride (pun intended). I started book 1 as a free audiobook, and wasn’t even halfway through when I decided to purchase the full series. With twists and turns and secrets from the past coming to light, this was way more than just a cowboy romance.

If you are a Yellowstone series fan, or love a romance filled with cowboys, plot twists, suspense, tension, angst and some spice, then add this one to your tbr!!
This series had me gripped from the first page, and it did not let go. The story line is so well written, and the character development of all the MCs is beautifully done. The series takes you on a journey of healing from trauma, unsolved mysteries from a decade earlier, twists and turns, banter that has you laughing, and all the feels that have you swooning, smiling, holding your breath, and the occasional sweaty palm or two.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a great series. 😍

good series except…
Spoiler alert do not read the bonus content or you will be disappointed. I hate cliffhangers! The series allows you to imagine an end. The bonus content will have you asking when the next book is coming out.
