Corralled by Cole

by Loni Ree

He’s used to getting what he wants, and all he wants is her.



REINE

One minute I’m minding my own business in a diner, trying to mentally prepare for the biggest horse auction of the year, and the next, I’m being practically undressed by the hottest cowboy I’ve ever seen. He stared. I frowned. And like an idiot, I ran away before he could even say hello.

Imagine my horror when Mr. Scorching Stare walks into the auction house and buys my prize stallion for an obscene amount of money.

Turns out, he isn’t just a pretty face in denim. He’s Cole Carrington. The Cole Carrington. Texas billionaire, ranching royalty, and currently, the man insisting on taking me to lunch. One meal turns into an entire day, and suddenly, my quiet life in Montana feels a lot less satisfying without his southern drawl in my ear. He’s persistent, charming, and looking at me like I’m the only prize he really wants to take back to Texas. I’m already falling, but can a small-town girl really handle a billionaire cowboy’s world?



COLE

I came to Montana for a horse. Just a horse. But the second I walked into that diner and saw the curvy blonde with the killer glare, the plan changed. I didn’t know her name, but I knew one thing for damn I wasn’t leaving this state without her.

Finding out she’s the one selling the stallion I’m here to buy? That’s just fate doing me a solid.

Reine Rockwell is everything I didn’t know I needed—fiery, sweet, and absolutely breathtaking. I bought her horse, but that was the easy part. Now, I have to convince her that the spark between us isn’t just a fluke. I’m finding every excuse to stay up north, but I’m done playing games. It’s time to show her that this Texas billionaire plays for keeps. I’ve already corralled the horse; now I just need to corral her heart.



In Silver Spoon Falls, love has a way of working itself out in unexpected ways. But nothing could prepare these rough cowboys for the wild, curvy women coming their way.



To tame their hearts and find forever, they'll fight harder than they ever have. Luckily, the sweat in their veins, the dirt on their boots, and the grit in their bones has taught them everything they need to know to go toe-to-toe with fate and come out unconquered.

Reine needs money for her ranch and that brings her to the horse auction where she needs to sell her best friend... her horse Thunderbolt. Cole Carrington came from Silver Spoon Falls to Montana to buy Thunderbolt, but everything changed when he saw Reine and instantly fell for her. Yeah the Silver Spoon Falls water still works 🤣 Now he has to convince his woman he won't take Thunderbolt away from her and that he came to stay with her forever. Instalove, OTT, sweet, steamy, romantic , fun banter and safe with an awesome HEA and no drama😍😍😍😍😍. I freaking loved the banter between the Carrington siblings 🤣🤣

I'm so excited to introduce you to Cole Carrington—our swoon-worthy, billionaire cowboy who owns a Texas ranch with his lively pack of siblings (picture three fun brothers and a spunky sister). He’s the kind of guy who falls hard and fast, and when he sets eyes on our leading lady, it’s pure “she’s-mine” energy from the get-go. Family is everything to Cole, and when he decides Reine is his woman, there is nothing he won’t do to make her happy. They are so perfect for each other that, honestly, you’ll wish you could snag an invite to one of their family barbecues to hang out with them!

Then there’s Reine Rockwell, who’s caught in a difficult situation—she needs to sell her prized horse, Thunderbolt, just to keep her Montana ranch afloat for another year. The second she meets Cole at the horse auction, sparks fly, and later she can hardly believe Cole really likes her so much (I mean, who wouldn’t be surprised if a real-life cowboy heartthrob suddenly swept into their lives?).

This story is a breath of fresh Montana air! Forget angst and drama—what you’ll find here is a charming, feel-good tale of instant attraction that blossoms into a tender and spicy romance. Cole and Reine don’t just fall in love; they dote on each other, hand out adorable nicknames, tease each other and turn up the cuteness with plenty of affectionate moments. Their touchy-feely love will make your heart melt!

And let’s not forget the supporting cast—Reine’s Grams is tough but hilarious and Cole’s siblings are an absolute hoot, bringing just the right dose of teasing and laughter. I’m already lining up to read their stories next!

I truly couldn’t put this book down. It’s heartwarming and the characters are so down-to- earth and real, you’ll want to befriend them and join in the fun. Loni Ree’s writing will have you grinning from ear to ear as you turn every page!

So, if you’re in the mood for a sweet, uncomplicated, and utterly delightful love story, “Corralled by Cole” is the novella you need in your life. It’s everything a romance reader could wish for—now go lasso your copy and enjoy the ride!.

We're back baby! And boy have I missed Silver Spoon Falls.

And yes technically Corralled by Cole isn't fully in Silver Spoon Falls (don't at me). Cole is 100% Silver Spoon cowboy, he's been drinking the water and it's struck in Montana.

Instalove at its finest and if you're wanting a short and steamy read Loni has you covered. A single glance in the diner you fall hard, a horse auction winning bid and boom your woman is the horse owner it's the power of the Silver Spoon water.

Reine is smart and strong willed, helping to run the Rolling R Ranch with her Grams. Selling her beloved horse is the last thing she wants to do, but if it means her family ranch is safe for another year she'll break her heart to do it. Little does she know the cowboy she locked eyes with at the diner would be her knight in cowboy boots.

Cole is the perfect mix of southern gentleman and sexy cowboy. He's got the looks, the brains and the protective drive to make sure Reine is as looked after as she can be.

Corralled By Cole by Loni Ree is the first title I've read by this author and I wasn't disappointed.
As an instalove cowboy romance it had me hooked and entertained from the start with it's engaging main characters, Cole and Reine.
Cole, Texas billionaire cowboy rancher, came to Montana for a horse but was completely blown away by Reine, curvy, struggling local rancher that has to put her beloved stallion up for sale.
The instalust of attraction to one another turns to sizzling chemistry as they navigate getting to know one another. Having to containing their lust and the push and pull of flirty banter makes for a fun read.
The storyline was well paced for a short story and the steam and spice kept me turning the pages which all combined to ensure a satisfying HEA.

I loved reading this story by Loni Ree. I can't wait to reading anything by her. I love the worlds that she creates. Reine needs to sell her horse at the auction and get a good price on it so that she can keep her ranch. She doesn't' want to sell him but she has no other choice. One night before the auction she is eating dinner when she notices a man in the restaurant. Cole is up from Texas to look at a horse in Montana. He sees the woman in the restaurant and decides that she is the one for him. He maybe from Silver Spoons but he now see his destiny is somewhere else. Will they be able to find happily ever after?

I loved that Cole was 100% in as soon as he came in contact with Raine, he knew what he wanted and went after it wholeheartedly. He was willing to rearrange his whole life for her and was not shy about letting her, or anyone, know how he felt. Things would certainly never be dull being around either of their families, Gram was a hoot and I really enjoyed the interactions between Cole and Hudson. I believed in Raine and Cole's connection and chemistry, in them as a couple and that they would be happiest and fulfilled together.

If you’re looking for a short but oh so good story, read this one. Cole and Reine meet and he falls so hard and fast. He just gives his whole heart and I don’t think there would be a girl that could resist him….except maybe Reine at first.
She thinks he’s cute and sweet but her main goal is to sell her horse at the auction. The horse means so much to her but she has to save her family’s ranch.
When Cole sets his mind to something..he will win! But will Reine be ok with him taking her horse home with him? Will he be able to help her save the ranch? How much trouble can Grams (Reine’s grandmother) cause? She’s so sassy

I really enjoyed this story about Reine Rockwell and Cole Carrington, who meet when Reine has to sell her prize horse Thunderbolt when Call first sees Reine, he is totally smitten, it’s love at first sight and she feels the same. It’s a really sweet story where Cole does everything you can to convince Reine that she is his and they are meant to be. It all works out and they go to live there happily ever after.

I did like these two, and their story a lot

Reine and Cole, a romance that starts with him seeing her, wanting her and happily they get each other.
A relationship built on support, caring, lust and passion.
Reine is a strong woman, working hard on her families ranch. Cole is from another State, has travelled to purchase Reine’s much loved horse. And once he buys the horse he advises Reine that both he and the horse are staying!
A great read, full of strength, banter and love. Yes, a HEA epilogue is included

This book is a part of the Silver Spoon Cowboys series and focuses on Cole and Reine. Reine’s family ranch is in financial hardship so she had to make the hard decision to auction off her prized horse to keep the ranch going. Cole took one look at Reine and knew she was his. He was all in right away and determined to make Reine fall in love with him while also making sure her family ranch was secure. This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

This is the first in the Silver Spoon Cowboys series. Cole has traveled from his ranch in Texas to purchase a stallion that has gone up for sale. When he meets the horse's owner, Reine, he gets other ideas. Reine does not want to part with it but they have no other choice.

Cole is ready to claim her as his and fix all her problems. He will have to convince her he is all in, even if it means staying in Montana. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Just come right in and sweep me off of my feet Cole Carrington! OK Ok... you maybe be taken now, but you have brothers 🤣🤣! I absolutely loved this whirlwind romance. Reine had no idea what hit her when she sat down at the diner that morning, but I can guarantee she wouldn't change a thing now. Cole is just perfect. Seriously. He's smexy, charming, obsessed and an all around good guy. Where do I sign up for a Carrington guy?

Silver Spoon Falls special brand of insanity...in Montana!

The way Cole is knocked on his ass by a two-by-four named DESTINY, you could also call this book Ruined By Reine! This is a hilarious, sexy, delightfully dirty and completely crazy introduction to the Silver Spoon Cowboys series. The by-play between siblings and flirty banter between Cole and Reine makes this a fun and steamy read. I look forward to the rest of the series, which is available on Kindle Unlimited as this book is.

HOLY cowboy dear sirs and ma'am. Cole is H.O.T and he gets hotter and hot as the pages turn. Reine is who I want to be when I grow up, she is a spit fire who is just going to burn Cole like he loves it. This books is all types of funny, sexy, romantic and down right good. Can't wait to read more from the other brothers.

I received this as an arc from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was a fantastic instalove romance. It was a short, well written story that had a great flow. I loved this addition to the Silver Spoon universe even if most of the story didn’t take place in Siver Spoon Falls. This was Cole and Reine’s story and I just adored it. The two had such great chemistry and got a very satisfying HEA.

Reine is being forced to sell her prize stallion to save the family ranch. Now, the handsome cowboy, Cole, whom she saw in town, is one of the bidders. This is only the beginning for them. This is a part of the Silver Spoon Falls universe, and I love getting another peek into it. I love Cole's OTT reaction toward Reine. He is perfect for Reine. This is a high-heat, low-drama book. Excellent short read!

So glad to be back in Silver Spoon Falls where drinking the water brings on instant love! Cole Carrington is in Montana with one goal in mind buy Thunderbolt a horse that will be perfect for their ranch. Before the auction he sees Reine in the diner and is drawn to her. Before he can find out who she is she is gone. When he discovers that she is Thunderbolt’s owner things move really fast. Guess drinking 5hat water before heading to MT paid off.

Loved that he falls first, fast and hard. Liked this Carrington family and all the chaos they bring with them. Enjoyed this romance as Reine faces some hard decisions, but gets lucky on who purchases her prized stallion. Liked how these two recognize just what they mean to each other in such a short period of time.

Cole is in Montana to buy a horse at the auction, and Reine's prized stallion is up for auction. When Cole sees Reine, he instantly knows she's his; now he has to convince her. This is well written with well developed characters that had me cheering them on to get their happily ever after. This cowboy romance is a great intro to the Carrington family and a wonderful start to the Silver Spoon Cowboys series. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I love me a cowboy

It is love at first sight for Cole. He sees her across the diner and knows there is no one else for him. It must be the water.
Reine has the same thought, just more worried about selling her best friend, her horse. It is fate that the horse is what brings them together.
I love Silver Spoon stories.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Cole falls hard for Reine and does what he can to woo and help her. He is successful. I liked how he made sure Reine wasn't separated from Thunderbolt after he saw how much she loved him. I liked how Cole and his family helped save The Rolling R Ranch.

[Kyareth14 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoy too much the Silver
Spoon universe, I have loved every series. And this new series of Cowboys started more than well. Cole a man willing to do anything to achieve what he wants. With one look at Reine knows that she is the woman of his life, and something between them seems complicated, but the Carringtons always take care of their own.

[Angi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cole is the sweet, sexy, gentleman cowboy you never knew you were missing in your life. This book has well written characters, a dynamic connection and chemistry. There is a lot more to win at this auction than the horse. This is a great read and a perfect way to start a new series.

What a fun introduction to this new series featuring the Carrington family as Cole falls instantly for Reine while visiting Montana. Loved the family banter between the siblings.

More Than a Horse

Cole came to buy a horse, but what he got was so much more once he laid eyes on Reine. What develops between them was explosive and could not be contained. This story was a well-balanced blend of romance and banter. I could not put it down and found it delightful to read.

Great story

Great story with an amazing couple and amazing other characters as well. Their love story is perfect. There's definitely something in the silver spoon falls water. It was instant forever love with Cole and Reine and their story is perfect.
