Taken on the Ranch #1

Caught in the Barn

Rate this book
I had to get away from the city. My lungs craved the clean air and I needed to escape from my recent relationship. Sunflower Ranch was just the place I’d been looking for. Mama Sue would take good care of me and make sure I stayed out of trouble.Three weeks in, cowboy Bryce Malone was driving me crazy. With a simple wink the man could send my hormones into overdrive and it was quickly becoming too much to handle. Worse yet, I shared a room with two other girls which made it impossible to relieve myself and get my head back on straight. If I didn’t get some private time soon I’d end up doing something that I’d regret.Laying down in the hay of an unused barn, I took a few minutes to relieve the pent up tension between my legs. Nobody ever went in that old barn without a reason. Everyone except Bryce Malone. I could tell by the look in his eyes and the rope in his hands that I wouldn’t be leaving unsatisfied.This is part 1 of the Taken on the Ranch series (amazon.com/dp/B00RR5PCUE):1. Caught in the Barn2. Ride (amazon.com/dp/B00RC4WVKE) 3. Cowboy Wild (amazon.com/dp/B00RM5SGHU)

Not bad

Too short to really do lengthy review. But i will try to do my best. Melanie works for a ranch, helping out the woman in the main house. Bryce is a cowboy who also works at the ranch. Hot, sexy southetn boy Melanie cant help but be drawn to this man. When the two finally have time together, the sex is hot, passionate and everything melanie hoped for.

Hot

Short but hot. I'm wasn't sure if I could like it because a lot of the dirty talk made me giggle but it was hot

*sighs* it didn't.

I don’t know if it’s because this book just wasn’t for me or if it’s because I live in an area big on real life cowboys, I didn’t like it..

if I could’ve given it a negative star, I would’ve. Just reminded me why I don’t read more books with cowboys and ranch hands, they’re so forced..

A short well-done piece of erotica caught in the barn isn’t exactly what you think

This is a free short story on Amazon. Filled with a good amount of...

Cheese. And not much of anything else. Perhaps cowboy erotica just isn't for me.

Most noteworthy line:
“Miss Melanie,” he whispered, making my eyes open lazily to take him in. “I like my women the same way as I like my animals. Tied up.”

Hot cowboy getting it in with a sexy chick that serves up the food. That's what happens in the very short tale of lust. The two main characters, Bryce and Melanie are hot for each other, both working on the Sunflower ranch for the summer, where co-workers are forbidden to partake in carnal fun. That didn't stop those two from getting tangled up in the barn during a rain storm.

This one ends on a slight cliffhanger, so if I want more hot cowboy action, I will need to complete the series. Hmm, I just might.

Quick read

Bryce knows what he is doing when it comes to how to a woman. He likes he tough an ready and steaming hot. Mel is the ranch house hand and escaping the city and a break up for the summer and Bryce is just what she needs to take her mind off the city.
Both agree no relationships but can they both keep emotions out the way ?

This is a 3 part book set the first being a very quick 40 page read

First part of this trilogy, you could read it as a hot stand alone, but why would you?

She needs to get away from the city and her ex, so she is spending the summer on a farm.
On the farm there is one very hot cowboy and sparks fly between them.
When with bad weather they are stuck together in a barn he shows her how good he really is in a very hot way

Hot, horny and handsome! If you like your menfolk ready to rope and reduce you to a puddle of lust, Caught in the Barn will press all the right buttons. Kenzie Haven's raunchy ranch is just the place for a girl in need of fresh air and fornication. I loved it and can't wait to read more. Recommended.

Raw Desire Unleashed!

Kenzie's erotic imagination and writing style can stir a man's loins. Brief but stimulating. Well done! She created the kind of kitchen help most men would like to meet.

Sexy cowboy and woman and sex

Melanie goes to the country to get away from it all. She meets Bryce, a handsome cowboy. And you can guess where it goes from there.
Not much of a story, very predictably, and somewhat boring.
If you want a quick read; about 15-20 minutes. This is not a total waste of time.

Decently hot

At least he wasn't completely reliant on his size. And the scene was good, but it's a short story or more probably a prologue, because hello no plot. But it was pretty good.

Meh

No Character development whatsoever, Nothing other than erotica with no real plot. I really wasn’t impressed with the book. It took me a few minutes to read and I wish I would have used those minutes to find a better story.

This was a big let down. I wanted a story and this read like it was a chapter from a larger book. Melanie has left the city to work on the ranch and Bryce is the big studly cowboy. They have an encounter in a small barn during a rain storm and that's it. Found this is book 1 of 3.

Barnyard Follies

I re-read this book when I realized I never reviewed it. A fun to read story about the follies of a youthful libido. A short story that was easy to read. Perhaps a bit to short, would have enjoyed more.

I liked the characters. I love cowboys!

This story actually had a little more story development than the usual 20 minute read erotica story. I enjoyed the book, just wish it was an actual book that might take a while to read with multiple sexual encounters. Still good though.

Naughty

Quick and dirty. Naughty girls fantasy more than happily played out by a cowboy. Take a ride with this one. HOT

Kobo library. Short story. Well it is what it is, an erotic read. It was just enough to be explicit without it being to over the top. Just enough.
