Moon Blind Hearts

Rate this book
Juliet Ward has lived much of her life under someone else’s thumb. Online, she’s VantaVyxxxen, the woman with a million subscribers and a face no one has ever seen. Offline, she’s a ghost with a price on her head, hiding from a political dynasty powerful enough to erase anyone who steps out of line. Survival means anonymity, especially when she carries a secret that could change everything.

So when The Velvet Rodeo reaches out for a collaboration, she should say no. The stakes are too high and her father has gotten too close to finding her more times than she can count. But rent is due, and no one ever gets hurt over a little late-night cam work, right?

Oakley Grymes, the disciplinarian leader.
Cash Kinkaide, the reckless wildfire.
Sawyer Bradley, the soft-spoken sweetheart.

The three men behind Udder Nonsense Farms make artisanal cheese by day and run an up-and-coming private cam channel in the industry by night. Juliet expects a quick business contract. She doesn’t expect the overwhelming pull she feels toward all three men or the unsettling peace she finds on their dairy farm.

But peace never lasts in the Green River Basin. Juliet’s past has long claws, and when it finally tracks her down in Steele, Wyoming, she realizes she can never escape her family name. The men of The Velvet Rodeo want to protect her. Her father wants to cage her. And Juliet? She’s running out of places to hide.

Juliet is about to find out how far she’ll go to keep her freedom. In the end, everyone has a price. . .

Kendra Moreno is secretly a spy but when she’s not dealing in secrets and espionage, you can find her writing her latest adventure. She lives in Texas where the summer days will make you melt, and southern charm comes free with every meal. She’s a recovering Road Rager (kind of) and slowly overcoming her Star Wars addiction (nope!), and she definitely didn’t pass on her addiction to her son (she did). She has one hellhound named Mayhem who got tired of guarding the Gates of Hell and now guards her home against monsters. She’s a geek, a mother, a scuba diver, a tyrannosaurus rex, and a wordsmith who sometimes switches out her pen for a sword.

Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spicy content 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶/5

Firstly I want to say thank you to Kendra for this ARC! And holy shit this book is an absolute knockout, it is packed full of spice, sexy cowboys, and dark secrets.
Kendra once again delivers everything I crave in a cowboy romance. And I absolutely devoured this in one sitting. From the moment I opened the first page, I was obsessed.

I have to admit… I never knew what “milking” was before picking up this book, but let’s just say: **new kink unlocked** and I am not complaining. 👀🔥

I adore anything Kendra writes, and this book is no exception. The chemistry between Jules and her men was off the charts. The twists and secrets simmering beneath the surface were also just devine.

I already know I never want this series to end and waiting for the next installment will be pure agony because I am absolutely obsessed. 🤠💋🔥

“𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐭 𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐨, 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬. 𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞.”

whenever i read a Kendra Moreno book, i get sucked in (pun not intended 😜🤭) and i realize i am already half way through the book. and 𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝑩𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 was no different.

Jules is on the run from her controlling Senator father, and has been working as a cam girl for years. she meets the cowboys of The Velvet Rodeo when they request a collab in their content. and what better way to hide out for 3 weeks than on a dairy farm in small town Wyoming? so when Jules shows up in Steele with her team which includes her toddler daughter, Cash, Oak, and Sawyer try to remember that they can’t fall in love with their new coworker. but can they really keep things professional, or do they all go a little moon blind?

this book is hot 🥵 but you see not only the intimacy developing between the fmc and the mmcs during their content creation but also outside of that. all three mmcs have distinct personalities, and it was cute to see how much passion Sawyer had for cheese making.

i would have liked an epilogue or something to see how they all continue doing their cam work or if they don’t. so i hope that gets brought up in the next book in this interconnected series.

this book is a standalone part of an interconnected series about the town of Steele, Wyoming. while you don’t need to read the other books to understand this one, it’s highly recommended since characters from the other farms do make an appearance. and there is a connected thread that appears through each book.

“𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲,” 𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲. “𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥.”

thank you Kendra Moreno for an e-ARC 𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝑩𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 🤠🐄🖤

Kendra Moreno never misses, and this book was another wild, fun, and completely addictive ride. She always brings something fresh to the table and that really shows here. I was hooked from the start as we follow Juliet, who has spent her whole life trapped under her senator father’s control. When he tries to force her into a marriage with one of the most dangerous men imaginable, she runs. And she runs hard.

Four years later Juliet has rebuilt her life as Vanta, a successful masked goth cam girl who keeps herself hidden while protecting her daughter, Genie. Her independence, her confidence, and the way she handles her work with zero shame or apology made me adore her even more. She is smart, sexy, determined, and doing everything she can to keep herself and her child safe.

Everything changes when three new cam cowboys from The Velvet Rodeo reach out for a collaboration. Oak, Cash, and Sawyer want the career boost that comes with working with her, but they definitely get more than they expected. Once Juliet arrives at their ranch, sparks fly instantly. Each guy brings something different to the story and to Juliet, and the chemistry between all four of them was unreal. I usually have a clear favorite, but this time I honestly couldn’t choose.

And on top of all that, I really appreciated how Kendra continues to normalize and respectfully represent disabilities in her books. Sawyer’s experience with Fuchs’ Dystrophy was handled with so much care. His strength, confidence, and the way he never let his condition define him made me love him even more. Seeing a romance author acknowledge disabilities without turning them into a plot device is something I’ll always admire.

The twist with Juliet being a mom was done so well. Seeing the guys bond with Genie was sweet in a way that completely balanced the heat of the book. And when I say the spice was good… I mean I needed a moment more than once. Kendra absolutely delivered, like always! The scenes were creative, intense, and unforgettable. I will never look at cheese the same way again, and the milk scene was a surprise in the best possible way.

This story also had real heart. Juliet’s past, her fear of being found, and her strength in building her own life made every moment hit harder. The boys were supportive, protective, funny, and fully devoted to her. It gave the book a great found family feel that I loved.

This series just keeps getting better. Every book stands on its own but still connects in ways that make the world feel alive. Green River Hearts series is chaotic in the most entertaining way and I am always excited to return. I already cannot wait for Lennox and Naomi’s story (I hope this is next) because if Kendra keeps writing cowboys like this, I will never recover.

Overall this was fun, spicy, emotional, and impossible to put down. One of my new favorites in the Green River Hearts series. Kendra Moreno has me obsessed all over again.

This one is tricky to rate because there’s a lot I genuinely enjoyed, but it also left me wanting… just a bit more. Moon Blind Hearts is fast paced—so fast that at times it almost feels rushed—but it still delivers all the cowboy charm, all the chemistry, and all the spice the series is known for. And trust me, the spice? Chef’s kiss. The scenes between Jules and the guys were 🔥🌶️ and easily some of the best in the entire series.

I also loved how the 27 Foundation from the previous book weaves into this one. It gives the series a nice sense of continuity, and this ended up being my favorite installment so far because of that cohesiveness. The shared industry between the characters added a fun dynamic too, and their scenes together were perfect.

But with how fast everything moves, the story sometimes skims the surface instead of digging deeper. I really wanted more development—especially when it came to her daughter, who pops in and out rather than being fully woven into the plot. And while the setup is full of tension (Jules on the run, her father, the fiancé, a secret society all closing in), the resolution hits in the span of a chapter and wraps up a little too cleanly and quickly. Same with the romance. It leans heavier into insta-love than the earlier books, which wasn’t my favorite.

The third act especially feels rushed, almost like an “oh right, here’s the drama” moment compared to the more layered tension in the rest of the series.

That said, I still devoured this book in one sitting. It’s fun, it’s spicy, and it absolutely kept me turning the pages. If you love fast-paced, easy-to-read romances full of cowboys, steam, and suspense, this one will definitely scratch that itch. And even with its flaws, it still has me excited to keep going with the series.

Juliet has lived in the prison of her upbringing with her father being a senator and a cruel man only ever worried about his image. He crosses thr line when he arranges a marriage to one of thr most ruthless cruel business man. Her brother albie knows she has to leave and he gets her to escape.
4 Years later she is working as a successful goth masked cam girl. When 3 new cam cowboys jump on the scene they ask to collaborate. She has many stipulations and thry definitely got more than they bargained for with her and her staff.
This sucked me in since she was fleeing and I loved her as a cam girl. She was a great little mistress but when she got with the guys to do their collab that was hot. I really enjoyed how different they all were.
Around 75% it seemed like it just fully got rushed and everything happened really fast. Wished it was a little longer for this story to play out a little bit better and not as rushed.

Oh my god 💕
Honestly I loved this one, the concept, the guys, our main girl. Like this one just clicked for me and I always eventually get sucked in where I have to just race to finish it. As usual, Kendra’s writing is so easy to get into and follow along with.

This one has made my top 3 in this series 💕💕

Thank you Kendra for allowing me the opportunity to read your work early!

Who doesn’t love them some cowboys!

This is fast paced to the point it almost felt rushed however it is still spicy and steamy and all the cowboy goodness. I felt it could have had some more plot with her daughter through out the book and not just certain parts but it was wonderful how it was as well. I loved getting to know all the cowboys and would have loved their backgrounds dug into a bit more but I think they are all perfection and they are all perfect for Jules!!

I overall really enjoyed this book :)

SEXY COWBOYS, SPICE, STEELE — THAT’S WHY I’M HERE. 🤠🔥

“𝔚𝔢𝔩𝔠𝔬𝔪𝔢 𝔬𝔣𝔣𝔦𝔠𝔦𝔞𝔩𝔩𝔶 𝔱𝔬 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔙𝔢𝔩𝔳𝔢𝔱 ℜ𝔬𝔡𝔢𝔬, 𝔍𝔲𝔩𝔢𝔰. 𝔚𝔢 𝔥𝔬𝔭𝔢 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔢𝔫𝔧𝔬𝔶 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔯𝔦𝔡𝔢.”

Maybe I’m biased, but even if another fifteen families suddenly decided to move into Steele, I still wouldn’t get tired of it for a second. This world just has a grip on me. 🫶

Just like every time before, the main plot delivered exactly what I hoped for. The story once again tossed us together with three cowboys who couldn’t be more different from one another, yet each of them is the kind of character you grow attached to embarrassingly fast. Their job definitely isn’t your everyday nine-to-five, and it gave the whole book this edge that made it stand out from the previous ones in a really good way. 🔥

Jules immediately won me over. Strong, capable, stubborn in the best way, and so much more human than she first lets on. Coming from a background where she was expected to obey without thinking, it was refreshing to watch her actually take control of her own life, even when everything is stacked against her.

ᴀɴᴅ ʀɪɢʜᴛ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ, ɪɴ ᴀ ᴘᴀꜱᴛᴜʀᴇ ꜱᴜʀʀᴏᴜɴᴅᴇᴅ ʙʏ ᴅᴀɪʀʏ ᴄᴏᴡꜱ, ɪ ɢɪᴠᴇ ʜᴇʀ ᴍʏ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴍᴇᴀɴɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ. ɢᴏᴅ ʜᴇʟᴘ ᴍᴇ. ɪ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɪᴛ ᴛᴏ ʜᴇʀ.

And once these cowboys step into her world and start treating her with actual care? Yeah… it’s pretty much impossible not to fall for them right alongside her. 💓

Oak with his quiet presence, Cash with his chaotic charm, and Sawyer with that laser-focused intensity—they complement each other so naturally that their dynamic feels effortless. You can tell why each of them resonates with Jules in a different way. I personally refuse to pick a favorite… though Sawyer does tug on my heart more than I’d like to admit. 🧀

“ʏᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏᴡ,” ʜᴇ ꜱᴀʏꜱ, “ɪ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱʜᴏᴡɪɴɢ ᴜᴘ ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴋɪɴᴅ ᴏꜰ ʜᴀꜱ ᴜꜱ ᴀʟʟ ᴍᴏᴏɴ ʙʟɪɴᴅ.”

And when familiar faces from earlier books appeared? I squealed. Out loud. Dakota remains my absolute weakness. 💘

“𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮?” 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙪𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙚 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝘿𝙖𝙠𝙤𝙩𝙖 𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧, 𝙆𝙖𝙩𝙚, 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙢, 𝙄 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙭 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚.

NO SIR I'M NOT 'KAY - SCREAMING.

As for the spice?
Perfect. Consistent. Deliciously over-the-top in all the right ways. 🌶️🔥

And of course, the ending left me craving just a little more, because I would have happily kept reading about where life takes them after everything they’ve been through.

And lastly, a huge thank you to Kendra for letting me be an ARC reader again, it means the world. 🤍📚

3.5⭐️ (rounded to 4)
This is a tough one to rate because there were a lot of things I really enjoyed about the story but just like the other books in the series, the story just left me wanting more and at times fell a bit flat.

This is a fast paced story with a lot of things happening in such a short amount of time. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely devoured this in one sitting and this is easily my favorite book in the entire series so far. The spice and the chemistry the guys and Jules had was *chefs kiss* sooo good. Seriously the spicy scenes in this 😮‍💨🌶️. Plus, the aspect of all of them being in the same industry and their scenes together were perfect. I also liked how the 27 foundation from the previous book played a role in this one as it really tied the entire series together with each one building off another.

However, I just wish this was a slightly longer book that really dived a bit deeper into each character and the storylines. Every book in the series is almost a little toooo fast paced and then wraps up a bit too quickly and too perfectly in the end. You have this big build up with everything that is happening throughout the book - her going on the run, her father, the fiancé, the secret society - all after her and searching and then in the span of like a chapter it's all resolved and everyone sort of just moves on.

You have these really great characters with amazing chemistry and this mysterious storyline alongside it but I feel like we only really scratch the surface of it all. It gets a bit hard to really connect with the characters or even the story because you don't really get a lot about them outside of just little small things. We have 4 main characters in this - 3 MMCs and 1 FMC. While we get to see more about the FMC and her background as the story is primarily in her POV, I feel like we get the bare minimum with the guys. Sure, there were a few chapters in one of the guys' POV every so often but they didn't really give us a lot in those chapters or they were fairly short. On top of that, we have an FMC with a young daughter and we really don't get a lot of scenes with her. I would have loved to see more especially with her and the guys together. The whole thing, while fun to read, really left me wanting more in the end.

If you're someone who likes a very faced paced, easy to read romance full of cowboys, spice, and suspense this is a story to check out!

I think i am addicted to the cowboys of Green River Basin because book after book after book Kendra gives us amazing cowboys and amazing ladies with so much banter and spicyness and let's not forget plot because these stories are all so different and yet the same. You have cowboys who fall in love with quirky, beautiful, talented, amazing women. And the women fall for these incredibly soft yet grumpy, hardworking, loyal, kind, handsome, ... cowboys.

First let me start with Jules, she is so determined and strong, hardworking, beautiful and witty. She was born in a family where only appearances matter, no heart, no love just subservience. They are supposed blindy follow, not ask questions and just do what they're told but Jules fights back, Jules won't let this life break her. She runs hard and fast. But life has a way of catching up.. Especially with a father and fiance like that. Thank the goddess she found these cowboys or well Cash found her ( winkwink) This story feels different because of the work they do. And i do feel like it is a, important story to tell. Because with Jules and they way she conducts herself, you can understand the how and the why but also her professionalism. No judgement, no shame just work. Now when she sees these cowboys and how they take care of her, well who wouldn't fall.... I mean come on.

Oak ooohhh my grumpy bear. I would let you dominate me all day every day. Puh-lease!!!! Cash is the playboy of the bunch and absolutely needed and Sawyer is the cherry on top. All three of them are so different but complete eachother so well i can understand why Jules said, they speak to her heart differently. While Oak is silent and observent, Cash is loud mouthed and brings some lightness and fun to the mix while Sawyer is intense and straight forward. I love all three of them and i would never choose, like ever. Don't make me! But Sawyer has a special place in my heart.

It was painful, beautiful and funny. It was a heavy story at times but easy to read and follow.

The SPICE... The SPICE... The SPICE.... The SPICE.... ( round of applause)

I have officially unlocked a new favorite trope. I love a story where the FMC is a cam girl. Adding MMCs that are cam guys just makes it even better. Throw in that the FMC is hiding from her psycho, conservative politician father and you are looking at something great. This series by Kendra Moreno is one of my favorites. These are why choose books where our FMC finds her way to different cowboys/farmers/ ranchers. This is one where our FMC is trying to hide after escaping from her oppressive father that wants to force her into a life that is acceptable for way he wants to portray himself to the world. It would include being forced into a marriage with a horrendous man. But she manages to escape and has a new life that is in the shadows, except when she is on cam. I love all of these characters because they are all so different but form the perfect group when they are together. This book has single mom rep, disability rep, soft yet dominant dairy farmers, and everyone has a secret. I think that this might be my favorite of the series so far. I love our main characters and how connect to each other.

What is sexier than three dairy farmers that support their farm/cheese business by performing on cam? The individual MMCs have completely different personalities that mesh together completely. Cash is the leather clad cowboy in black that is kind of all over the place and completely crazy. Sawyer is blind but is so observant. He has such sweet passion and a complete cheese fanatic. Then there is Oak, my favorite with definite tough daddy vibes but is a complete softie for Jules and her daughter, Genie. Jules just wants to live a life away from her oppressive politician father. She is afraid that if she stays anywhere, her father will find her and force her home.

I love this series, and this one was at the top for me. It is absolutely spicy but also has three men who are sweet to Jules and her daughter. There is a lot of trouble that someone can get into on a dairy farm. This whole series can be read as standalones so you can start with this one and go back but they are all worth the read.

These are the only words I ever went to hear again… The Green River Hearts series will continue. This series has truly been amazing. Each book had me hooked, in love, and straight up OBSESSED. Every time another one releases, I get so excited. I think, how could this one be as good as the last one, and every single time, I fall in love! Kendra Moreno will forever have me as a reader and I can’t wait to see what the next story is like!

Juliet has been living her life on the run from her powerful family for years. Under the name Vanta, she has a million eyes on her but her identity is a secret. When The Velvet Rodeo reaches out to collab with her, she second-guesses whether she should take the offer but decides why not. It’s not until lines start crossing and the threat of her family finding her that everything she’s worked on might be jeopardized.

I am so obsessed with Juliet. Her character went through it growing up with her family. Not being able to live the way she wants. I was so proud of her for going on the run. She’s so strong for going out on her own, making money for herself, and always getting ahead of her family. Her character was just so beautiful.

Sawyer is my baby. His character is just top-tier and honestly one of my favorite male characters that I have ever read. He is so strong and he doesn’t let his disease get him down. He is just PERFECT. Cash had me laughing out loud and also blushing. I knew Oak was going to be the one trying to hold back but then he came through. Each of the guys in this story had me swooning. I had moments where I had to pick my jaw up from the floor. I love them all.

Kendra really brought the action, the spice, and the swoon. The milk scene, I didn’t see coming but OK KENDRA, give us more of that! This story was just so good. I am literally so in awe of it and I’m so sad it’s over! I really need Lennox’s story because I just can’t wait!

This was such a good story, I devoured this book in no time.

So we have our fmc Jules. She is incredible. She is smart, brave, a true fighter and i was instantly drawn to her from the get go. She has gone through it but that has never stopped her from being who she wants to be.

Our mmc's are Sawyer, Cash and Oak. These 3 are all so different but they are brothers by choice and are all amazing in their own ways. Sawyer is sweet, caring and a master at his chosen profession. Cash, he is charming, funny and doesn't have the typical cowboy aesthetic but i loved it nonetheless. Oak, mmm, he's a bit grumpy, and to be honest, at times, i didn't like him for his choices (I get why, but also, no, be together) but once he loves you, he's got you and doesn't let go. He doesn't say a lot but when he speaks, he speaks for a reason.

The plot was soooo good! Jules, Cash, Sawyer and Oak conduct business of the naughty kind under their performance names. But in the midst of performing these said acts, things begin to get murky when feelings start to evolve and morph into something more. It was only supposed to be a 3 week business arrangement for all of them, but it doesn't pan out that way. Oh, and did I forget to tell you that Jules is keeping many secrets. They do get their happily ever after but it's a journey to get there.

Love this story so much! I really want Ivy to get her own book. I feel there's more to Ivy than meets the eye.

Thank you so much Kendra and your amazing team for the opportunity to read this story. I am forever grateful to be a part of your ARC team 🙏

Another great entry in the Green River Hearts series that I really enjoyed, and I love that Moreno has entered the cam-worker game with this one! Throw in that it's not just our FMC that's a cammer, but our cowboy trio too, and I was here for it.

I always love a good heroine on the run, and I loved that Moreno gave us the peek into just why Jules has made the decisions she did with the addition of the first part of the story. It gives such backstory and strength to her character, and has you on the edge of your seat for the other shoe to drop during the entire story.

As always, this is deliciously spicy and filled with heat, and the particular scenes are woven in well to the overall story of Jules and the men collaborating on some cam projects. I adored that each of our leading men - Cash, Sawyer and Oak - are all so amazingly unique, whether it's style, characteristics, even down to the disability rep with Sawyer. Moreno never fails to write an interesting group of MMCs for our leading lady to fall for.

I will admit though that this one felt a bit too insta-love for me, compared to the other books in the series. Now, that's not to say I didn't enjoy it, but I also didn't *love* that aspect of it. I also feel the 3rd act was incredibly rushed, and almost thrown in as an afterthought with the author going "oops, I need some drama". Again, compared to the dramatic aspects of the other books in the series, I felt this was a bit of a let down.

Not to say I didn't enjoy the story overall, and it definitely has me wanting to read more in this series (yes, I am not above begging Moreno to write more books in Green River - though that tease at the end has me thinking begging may not be necessary).

Thank you to the author for the eARC opportunity. These are my honest thoughts that I have provided voluntarily.

Moon Blind Hearts is the fourth book in the Green River Hearts Series. It is a spicy, why choose, small town romance. The story is told in first person with multiple POV.

Jules is on the run from her dreadful and powerful father. In order to provide for herself, she has become a very successful cam girl. When three steamy cam cowboys, known as The Velvet Rodeo, reach out to her wanting a collaboration, how can she say no?

There is so much to love about this story. It is packed with creative spicy scenes that will make your mouth water and your thighs clench! It also has tension, emotion, secrets, intrigue, some action, and a small town that is willing to come to the aid of its residents.

The characters are all amazing. I absolutely loved Jules. I loved her personality, and how far she is willing to go to protect her identity and her "secret." I also really loved the guys. I loved how unique each of them is and how perfect they are for Jules. They each give her exactly what she needs. I was very intrigued by the inclusion of one of the characters disability and how it is represented.

I honestly could not have loved this book or its characters more. The writing, pace, flow, and plot were all terrific, as were the characters, character development, relationship development, storytelling, storyline, and world building. If you're looking for a cowboy romance with a lot of incredible spice, awesome characters, and an entertaining storyline, then this is definitely the book for you.

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

“It’s not about who shies away from your hurt or your problems. It’s about the ones who stand in the rain with you, in the middle of a storm, when they had the choice to be dry.
Cash, Oak, and Sawyer are standing with me in the rain.”


A single mom on the run from her very powerful family. Three cowboys who want to give her a safe, forever home.

What do they all have in common? Cam work. 👀

Book after book, I fall more in love with the cowboys of the Green River Basin, and the crew at Udder Nonsense Farms made it way too easy. Cash, Sawyer, and Oakley are completely different men, yet none of them stood a chance once they asked Juliet, also known as VantaVyxxxen, to stay with them for a few weeks to make some content. It is supposed to be strictly business, but you already know how that goes.

Udder Nonsense Farms is small but known for cheese and... milking, iykyk. That scene, like so many others in this series, has taken permanent residence in my head. The spice is incredible, but what keeps this series fresh is how different the characters and plots feel in each book.

I am grateful for the opportunity to read an ARC of this story. These books are so easy to fall into, and I always have such a good time with them. Kendra has a lifelong fan in this reader’s heart!

I absolutely devoured this book!! I loved Jules and the guys so much! This story had everything you could ask for, action and suspense with a good bit of mystery mixed it. Plus penty of steam and which probably makes it the hottest of the series. I love the title and it's connection to the story! I work with horses and have cared for and ridden one with moon blindness so I could understand what Sawyer was going through. I also appreciated that he had this disability and didn't let it stop him.

I really liked Jules. She had such a spunky personality and I liked how strong she was. I adored that Jules has a rat! They are the most amazing and underrated pets!!

I really enjoyed all of the guys for their unique personalities. Cash did take the lead though because I'm really liking the idea of a goth cowboy! He also has such a fun and amusing personality. He was like a large puppy. Sawyer was intense but so intricate in how he did everything. My heart broke for Oak but I absolutely loved his protective streak.

This ended up being a quick read for me because I just couldn't put it down. The writing had such a smooth flow that it just drew me in and captivated me. The characters were each fun and engaging while the story was entertaining from start to finish. I would highly recommend it!!

Ahhh, Ms. Moreno has done it again. I absolutely love her Green River Hearts books, they make me happy, hot and satisfy me at the end. What more could you want? I read this in one day, I could not put it down.
In Moon Blind Hearts, Jules is on the run from a VERY bad man, her father. He is rich, influential and has no loves other then power and image. He wanted Jules to marry for the prestige it would bring the family name, but she refused and ran. Now, 4 years later, she is still on the run and doing all she can to stay off his radar. She has a job that she loves, that she gets to keep her anonymity and pay the bills. Cam work is just what she needed to free herself and stay hidden.
The Velvet Rodeo is another cam channel that is trying to get a break, and more subscribers! To do that, they reach out to Jules for a collab. If they can get her to work with them, then it will give them the shot they need to reach the big time. They have a ranch to run after all, and that takes money.
Sparks, and love, fly when they get together and I loved it! Unexpected twists and turns, and some REALLY steamy moments!!! Golly gee, I had no idea cheese could be so hot!!! Check your trigger warnings kids, this one is spicy! 4.8 stars from me!

This book was a wild ride right from the start. I loved Jules character she was such a strong character. Jules is from a high powered family and they see woman as only breeding stock, and you don't ever rock the boat. When her father arranges a marriage for her to a horrible man she decides with the help of her twin brother to run. Four years later she is still running but living her life the way she wants, finally being free to be herself. Jules is a cam girl and when she gets an invite to collaborate with The Velvet Rodeo she jumps at the opportunity. Oak, Cash and Sawyer own a dairy farm in Steele Wyoming and to help with costs from The Velvet Rodeo (cam work) When they see Jules for the first time they instantly are attracted to her. Oak is the gruff broody one, Cash is fun and flirty while Sawyer is the soft emotional one. The story is paced perfectly and the steam was on point and hot. Reading these four fall in love was amazing and the mystery and suspense of her past brings another edge to the story. Once again we get to see a town come together to protect one of their own. I devoured it and can't wait to see what comes next for the 13. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

I loved this book so much and it was such a great addition to a series I love! This was just the best dark why choose and I ate it up.

Juliette is the daughter of a Senator and has been in the spotlight her whole life. She was raised to be a political pawn for her father, sold off at the right moment to help her fathers career. At only 18 she is shocked to find out about her 'engagement' at a very public event to a very dangerous man. So she runs.

Four years of moving regularly and building her wildly successful Cam Girl career where she hides her identity behind masks and clever angles. A group of three cowboys propose a collaboration Jules can't say no to.

The spice in this book was so good!!! Its a book that is heavy on the spice but still has a great plot and character development. This is the 5th book in a series of interconnected stand alones that you don't need to read in order because they are all different and unique in their own ways but with a few moments of cross over.

This book is up there as one of my favorite why choose romances and I loved it so much.

Thank you so much to Kendra for the Advanced Reader copy.

another amazing book in the Green River Hearts series, if you haven’t read the first four i def recommend!! this follows Jules, a single mom who has been hiding from her family and The Velvet Rodeo aka Oak, Cash and Sawyer. they come together bc all four of them do cam work 👀 The Velvet Rodeo & Vanta (Jules online name) decide to collaborate and along the way they all start catching feelings 🤭 Oak, Cash and Sawyer, all so different but make a good team. Jules is strong, charming, reserved. all of the guys have one of those personality traits as well which makes them such a good match with amazing chemistry and banter. Oak is strong, Cash is charming and Sawyer is reserved. the spice was so good, the ice scene & the milk scene 👀 loved it. another thing i loved was the representation in this 🖤 overall i really enjoyed this and can’t wait for what’s next!

one of my fav quotes from the book:

“It’s not about who shies away from your hurt or your problems. It’s about the ones who stand in the rain with you, in the middle of a storm, when they had the choice to be dry. Cash, Oak, and Sawyer are standing with me in the rain.” 🥹🖤

Moon Blind Hearts is the fifth book in the Green River Hearts series, and it’s a dark, addictive “why choose” romance I simply couldn’t put down.

I’ve been following this series from the very beginning, and I’m never disappointed. The author has an incredible talent for making each story feel fresh and unique, while still weaving them together into a cohesive, unforgettable series.

This installment follows Juliet, Cash, Oak, and Sawyer, and it’s packed with sizzling chemistry, rugged cowboys, family secrets, and plenty of steamy moments. The connection between Juliet and the men is intense, undeniable, and beautifully written.

While the spice level is high, the plot itself is equally engaging. The mix of tension, secrets, and heartfelt moments made it more than just a spicy read. I really enjoyed all the characters and the way their relationships unfolded..

Overall, Moon Blind Hearts is an excellent addition to the series, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to fans of “why choose” romance.

This was another hit in the Green River Hearts series for me. One of my favorite things about it is the found family vibes and how the MCs and the whole Basin of characters always look out for one another. I would return for that feeling and the cameos alone. Juliet has been on the run from her family for good reason. She’s strong, and she’s been protecting those closest to her who have formed a family unit to help keep her going. When her cam worker alter commits to a collab with a group of ranchers in the Basin, she didn’t imagine it would lead her family to her door or put her partners in danger. She didn’t imagine the connection she would have with the men, who are each INCREDIBLE—Sawyer, who is more than handicapable and so sensual as he works with their farm products; Cash, who provides levity, a moment to relax, breath, and have fun; and Oak, who seemed reluctant, but once he came on strong, LOOK OUT. You really can’t help but love them all. The men and women who call the Basin home are just a different breed. I can’t wait to return to the series again.

Moon Blind Hearts - Book Review

Another great why choose addition to the Green River Hearts series! Kendra Moreno is an author that has never disappointed.

In this book, we follow Juliet, Cash, Oak, and Sawyer and from the beginning the connection and chemistry was off the charts. Once those guys knew what they wanted, they weren't scared to go for it.

Loved see the other characters from previous books having cameos. This series is a series of standalones and each can be read as a standalone if you wanted.

The spice was next level, even more spicier than previous books by this author (which is seeing a lot). There was so much tension mixed with fun and creative spice scenes. But the best parts were the heartfelt moments that makes you feel for the characters.

- why choose
- multiple pov
- disability rep
- single mum on the run
- found family
- cam Cowboys
- so much spice

Thank you to the author for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you to Kendra Moreno for the ARC! All opinions of this book are my own!

I really loved the boys of Udder Nonsense Farm! Don't let the shmexy cam business intimidate you. These guys were not only hot (duh), they were caring and gave their all to Jules, our awesome FMC.

As a mother, meeting a character who was fighting tooth and nail to keep her and her daughter safe while also being a badass business woman who knows how to make that cash, it was so great.

Jules was a smart and sexy woman, and neither negated the other. Honestly, both of those qualities made the other stronger.

This book was sexy and exciting and I felt the pressure Jules was feeling, which was so stressful to read (but in a good way).

This book was a great addition to the Green River Hearts book. I love Steele and can't wait to get more stories from KM.

Once again I have to say I absolutely love this series. I stress to read all the others before this while each book has different main characters they all interconnect and some storyline details will be spoiled for previous books.

Juliet is a ward and wards obey and definitely don’t think for themselves or make their family look bad. When an arranged marriage to a horrible man happens she runs. And run she does for four years. As a popular cam girl she gets an opportunity to work with 3 hot cowboys on a collab that’s 3 weeks long.

All I gotta say is Sawyers scene was hot like really hot. I’m not sure what could have topped that one.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As always excited for what’s to come. Oh Lennox…I’m patiently waiting for your book I’m sure it will be worth the wait!

These books are so good with found family vibes!

Here Kendra goes making me fall in love with more cowboys, I absolutely devoured the 5th book in the Green River Hearts series, Moon Blind Hearts.

In this story we meet Juliet, who is on the run from her politician father and after years on the run has made a substantial living as a cam girl. When she gets a collab request from an up and coming group, she can’t say no to, she heads off to Wyoming and her life is about to change.

Cash, Oak and Sawyer run a cheese farm by day and by night they are welcoming their subscribers to the Velvet Rodeo. Cash, our flirty one, Oak, our grumpy leader and Sawyer, the sweetheart but dare I say most adventurous of the trio.

They are so excited to have her on board that they don’t necessarily read all the fine print about her hidden identity because besides being on the run she has another secret that she will protect at all costs.

Cash, Oak and Sawyer and immediately drawn to her and their chemistry is off the charts in their cam work - sensory play anyone?

What was just supposed to be a job quickly turns into so much more for them and they quickly want to protect her and keep her in Green River Basin. But she has been on the run for so long and she wants to protect everyone from being hurt, including them.

I just love how they molded together so easily, it was like she was meant to be apart of their group for so long and the found family they meld together is so precious. I can’t help but to continue to fall in love with the cowboys of the Green River Basin and can’t wait to see what happens next in the series!

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Kendra Moreno keep dragging me back, happily I might add, to Green River and the amazing cowboys that live there. Jules, the MFC, is on the run from her awful family and ends up in Green River as a guest/work partner of the Velvet Rodeo. The Velvet Rodeo is Oak, Cash, and Sawyer and after finishing the book I know I want to be part of their rodeo too ;).

In the beginning Jules decided to take control of her own life and stop letting her father dictate how every single minute should be before her spirit is completely crushed. The boys bought a farm in Green River and are running a dairy farm that also makes artisan cheese. The four of them meet when they decide to do a collaboration which brings Jules to Green River. Chaos ensues but I love the way chaos in town is so much fun.

I loved this! It's Juliet & her guys' story & it was awesome!! She's a cam girl & she's hiding from her past. When the guys ask for a collab. with her, she likes the idea & approaches it very business-like; after all what can go wrong with 3 sexy cowboys? When she meets them, the chemistry between them all is explosive! And once they start filming...........WOW!! The scenes were hot!! But they all start having real feelings for each other & something happens during a session that really freaks her out. Her past catches up to her & she's ready to run again. However, the guys & the town won't let just anyone come there & start anything. I loved the found family; the story & the spice was fantastic! I cannot wait until the next one! Highly recommend this book & author!!

I loved this book!!!!!

Jules ran away from everything her whole life represented. She made a whole life for herself and her daughter. She cares so much about the people who are around her.

The men in this book are DELICIOUS. They are all so unique and beautiful in their own ways. I love how they just immediately stood behind her and her daughter. The chemistry between the three of them and their chemistry with Jules was sweet and amazing.

The spice was insane. It’s was sexy and steamy. The spice is so well written. The kinks on point in this one!

Found family is one of my favorite things to read. Kendra is a master at writing beautiful found family stories. The Basin shows up for its own and I love it. It creates a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.
