Heart of Stone

Stone Ranch #1

by M. Hartley

For readers who crave workplace tension, age-gap romance, and fiery chemistry, Heart of Stone is a swoon-worthy story about a fearless PR powerhouse and the grumpy cowboy who can’t resist her.

Eleanor Stewartt built her public relations empire with razor-sharp wit, relentless drive, and a will that refuses to bend. When she’s hired to salvage the reputation of a luxury ranch on the brink of scandal, she walks in ready to take control.

What she doesn’t expect is Colton Stone.

The stubborn, dangerously handsome CEO built his empire on discipline and dominance and has no intention of handing over the reins to anyone. Especially not a bold PR powerhouse who challenges him at every turn.

Forced to work side by side for two months, they clash over strategy, control, and whose vision will win. But beneath the power and heated arguments simmers an undeniable attraction neither of them can ignore.

They’re two people who are used to standing their ground, and now they must decide if love is worth giving up a piece of their hearts of stone.

Thoughts
This is my second reading experience with the author ( I'm yet to finish the other series) I really enjoy this author's writing style, Heart Of Stone is the first book in Stone Ranch Series. This read is perfect for those who love age gap. I loved the MCs separately and together, I mean you can't go wrong with grumpy cowboy and a city girl💅🏻not to mention the back n forth between them was sooo good especially after she realised who the MMC was 😂 I loved how everything unfolded, from one night stand strangers to being forced to work together. I ate this up and I can't wait to continue!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Every book I’ve read by M. Hartley has pulled me in and kept me hooked until the very end, and this audiobook was no different!

These two characters are stubborn, a little grumpy, and definitely hardheaded. Watching them clash, slowly let their walls down, and bring out a softer side in each other was absolute perfection. The passion between them was incredible, but what I loved even more was seeing just how deeply they came to care for one another.

M. Hartley knows how to draw me into a story, and I loved every minute of this one. I can’t wait to dive into book two in this duet and get the story of his twin brother!

I listened to this on audio and unfortunately the male narrator really took me out of the story. I might have enjoyed it more not on audio, so I would recommend eyeball reading this one!

Thank you Netgalley, sorry for my vocabulary but I think Colt agree with me.

[ReneeReads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Eleanor is "hired to salvage the reputation of a luxury ranch on the brink of scandal" and she has to spend 2 months with a grumpy, insanely good looking cowboy? Oh and by the way, they hook up before they know who each other are.....What could possibly go wrong? The spicy scenes were hot and I loved the push and pull between Eleanor and Colton. Some lines made me laugh out loud and I really appreciate a writer can write funny quips between love interests. I loved that Eleanor can give just as good as she gets and doesn't take offense to a smart ass man.

Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this man has a mullet and that is a NO for me so I just pretended he didn't but other than that he was H.O.T. *drool*.

Thank you to Page and Vine for the eARC. All thoughts are my own.

God, there is truly nothing I love more than a grumpy cowboy and a city girl learning to love the slower life on the ranch. Add in the HAWT AF SPICE from M Hartley, and I was completely sold on this book. Between a one-night stand as strangers in a bar to learning they’d be forced to work closely together the next day, Colton and Eleanor’s banter had me giggling and kicking my feet, the spicy times had me fanning myself and the way they slowly opened up and fell for each other had me swooning.

Highly recommended for any fans of cowboy romances, grumpy MMCs, lots of spice, and banter galore.

✨ The Vibe
A spicy contemporary romance filled with workplace tension, a grumpy cowboy, a confident city girl, forced proximity, and plenty of chemistry. Expect a ranch setting, power struggles, age-gap tension, and two stubborn people trying very hard not to fall for each other.

🫶 Who Will Love This?
If you want a spicy romance with a grumpy cowboy, stubborn city girl, workplace tension, forced proximity, age gap, and lots of chemistry, this could be right up your alley. Expect less plot and mostly romance, though.

💭 My Thoughts
Heart of Stone sounded like it was going to be completely up my alley, and there were definitely things I liked!

Eleanor and Colton had good chemistry, the banter was fun, and I loved the idea of this powerhouse PR woman walking onto his ranch and refusing to let the grumpy CEO intimidate her. I just wish we had gotten more of that.

The scandal surrounding the ranch and Eleanor's PR work could have been such an interesting storyline, but the romance and spice took over pretty quickly. And listen, I have nothing against spice 😂, but I love a story around it. I wanted more tension, more buildup, more of the PR storyline, and more time watching these two fight falling for each other.

A lot of the book became Eleanor and Colton hooking up, deciding they needed space because they were getting too involved, and then going straight back to each other. After a while, that started to feel repetitive.

That being said, the chemistry was GOOD. The banter and cowboy x city girl dynamic worked really well for me, and I enjoyed seeing Colton's softer side come out.

I did struggle with Colton's behavior at the beginning, though. Some of it gave me red-flag energy, particularly when he followed Eleanor into an empty parking lot after she'd already refused him twice. I personally wish Eleanor had stood her ground for longer, especially because she's supposed to be this confident, independent powerhouse.

Overall, a fun read with good chemistry, but I wanted more story outside of the romance.

[melissasreadingdiary · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was everything I wanted it to be and more! Seeing it pitched as a road trip between a grumpy cowboy CEO and a sassy businesswoman CEO had me hooked already, and chapter after chapter I was hooked more and more!

Eleanor was so amazing, I loved how independent she was (slay running her own company!!!), and I adored that she has such a close friendship with Laney. Getting to see her explore options outside of living in the city (and falling for a hot cowboy in the meantime!) was so fun, and I think her realization that she wasn't as happy in the city as she thought was enlightening (idk if I've ever used that word in a review before omg).

Colton was so hot. Full stop. Quite possibly one of the hottest cowboys I've read about in a hot minute. Seeing how much he cares for the Stone Ranch properties and his tendency to hire people who really need the money and life upgrade had me all gooey and heart-eyed. I love rich men who rich right!!!!

Their chemistry was so high, so obvious, SO HOT!!!! I was kicking my feet squealing when they got to Colton's truck in the beginning (iykyk), and I loooooooved every spicy scene following (truly so hot. I love how M. writes spice!!!!!). They also had an amazing work dynamic, and I am a big fan of how Colton was ready to do whatever Eleanor directed because he was so! down! bad! for her!!! Their relationship growing from strangers -> strangers with benefits -> working together (?) -> lovers was amazing fantastic wonderful perfect!!!!

I need everyone to go pick up a copy of this book IMMEDIATELY so you can meet the hot and rich and caring and tender (and hot, did I mention that?) cowboy and the hot and sassy and amazing businesswoman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this was spicy and hot 🥵 i honestly had a great time as i love m hartley and everything she writes. i loved the idea of a strong female mc coming in and not letting a man ‘walk all over her’. alsooo, the setting and whole plot of her having to help him fix his reputation for his ranch was fun!

my only thing is i wish we got more of that deeper emotional connection between eleanor and colton. with that said, i still enjoyed this and would recommend it!

🎧audio: the narrators did a great job at portraying eleanor and colton. i listened to this in a day!!

[livblovesbooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had so much fun listening to this audiobook. The narrators did an amazing job, and it was so well done. You could hear the emotions and really immerse yourself into the story.

Although this is an age gap, it really doesn't feel like it (not in a bad way at all). Our fmc and mmc are honestly just both very mature and really have themselves put together to be honest. It was a nice surprise to the book for me.

As for their relationship, I loved it. I felt like it progressed very well and that they had a great connection. Our fmc brought out a lighter more relaxed version of our mmc and it was so fun to see them interact and have fun together. Especially, since he is so uptight and mr. grumpy pants for everyone else.

I am so excited for book 2!!!

Thank you NetGalley, M. Hartley and Dreamscape Media for the ALC.

[NurseLadyReads · Rating 3 out of 5]

Elenor is a wonderful, strong FMC who is unwilling to be a doormat to Colton, owner of Stone Ranch and man in need of her help. The chemistry between them was epic. The banter was engaging.
However, I’d like to see more plot and (gasp!) less hooking up, given the same page restraints. The storyline had so much promise!
I have mixed emotions about the “I want you, but we shouldn’t, but I want you, but…” on repeat. Could she give more sass instead of giving in? Because that banter was fun, and the vulnerability beneath it (for both characters) was something to write a book around.

[The Romantic Rush Blog · Rating 3.75 out of 5]

Heart of Stone, the first book in M. Hartley’s Stone Ranch series, had so much of what I love in a contemporary romance. Eleanor and Colton start out as complete strangers who share one VERY interesting night, only to discover that they’re about to spend the next two months working together. And when Eleanor realizes exactly who her mystery man is? The awkwardness, the attitude, the back-and-forth?! I was HERE for it.

Eleanor is a powerhouse PR professional brought in to rescue the reputation of a luxury ranch, and Colton Stone is the stubborn, successful cowboy CEO who isn't exactly thrilled about letting someone else take the reins. These two are both used to being in control, which makes their dynamic so much fun. Eleanor can dish it right back to Colton, and I loved that she wasn't afraid to challenge him. Their verbal sparring had me grinning, and some of their exchanges genuinely made me laugh. Give me a heroine who can match a cocky man line for line! The chemistry is definitely there, and M. Hartley brings the HEAT. The spicy scenes are plentiful, and the attraction between these two is never in question. I also enjoyed getting glimpses of Colton beneath that gruff exterior, especially as the connection between them starts to deepen.

But here's where I found myself wanting a little more. The premise had SO much potential beyond the romance itself. Eleanor has been brought in to handle a reputational crisis, and I would have loved to see that side of the story explored more fully. Give me the PR battles, the strategy, the professional clashes, and more of Eleanor showing everyone why she's so good at what she does! Instead, the physical relationship takes center stage pretty quickly, and the cycle of wanting each other, deciding they shouldn't, pulling away, and inevitably circling right back started to feel repetitive after a while. Listen, I am absolutely not opposed to a little spice, but I also love having a compelling story surrounding it. I wanted more buildup, more emotional vulnerability, and more time for these two to discover what made them right for each other beyond the obvious chemistry.

I also had some mixed feelings about Colton's behavior early on. His persistence, particularly when Eleanor had already made her position clear, didn't always sit right with me. For a woman introduced as such a capable, independent force, I wanted to see Eleanor hold her ground a little longer instead of giving in so quickly. Her sass was one of my favorite things about her, and I would have loved even more of that fiery backbone as their relationship developed. There was so much room to explore the softer, more vulnerable sides of both characters, and I wish we'd spent more time there.

That said, I did have a good time with this one! The cowboy-meets-city-girl setup is always a fun time, the banter was a highlight, and the chemistry certainly delivers on the steam. I love M. Hartley's writing, and this was an entertaining start to the Stone Ranch series. While I wanted a stronger storyline outside the bedroom and a deeper emotional connection between Eleanor and Colton, there was still plenty here to enjoy. I'm definitely curious to see where the series goes next!

🎧 The Audiobook: The audio was a great way to experience this story! The narrators did a good job bringing Eleanor and Colton to life, capturing their personalities and the energy between them. The banter was especially fun to listen to, and the performances kept me engaged enough that I flew through the audiobook. The male narrator wasn't my fav overall, but it still was still a solid and easy listen that was loads of fun.

BABES….imagine having a spicy night with a gorgeous stranger only to show up for work and discover that not only is he your new professional headache but he's also the stubborn cowboy CEO whose ranch reputation you're supposed to save.💀☕️

Eleanor built her PR empire with hard work, sharp wit and confidence that doesn't fold just because a man decides to throw his weight around. She's brought in to clean up the mess surrounding Stone Ranch and she's ready to handle business. What she isn't prepared for is Colton Stone. Who is a grumpy, controlling cowboy who isn't exactly thrilled about someone challenging his decisions.

Eleanor stands her ground and refuses to let Colton intimidate her. She knows her worth and wasn't about to shrink herself to make a man feel more comfortable. She's there to do a job. Colton is used to being in control and not thrilled when Eleanor challenges him. There's something swoony about a man who can recognize a powerful woman, respect what she brings to the table, and realize he doesn't need to dim her light to stand beside her.🥹

Now….the romance babes.🥵The chemistry….
A grumpy millionaire cowboy and a city girl who can hold her own. You already know that's a combination I can get behind.🔥 This book had plenty of heat, entertaining banter and a couple who know how to push each other's buttons.

ARC/ALC Review

5 stars

ugh, Colton and Eleanor were literally EVERYTHING. While I'm not usually a super big fan of insta-lust, Maggie just wrote this one with the perfect dynamic and situation where it was warranted. Eleanor is a big-city girl who owns her own PR firm and is hired to help small-town Stone Ranch manage a situation they had. As Eleanor visits all the Stone Ranch locations with big grumpy Colton, they both find themselves losing their walls and opening up to each other. As slowly as the love builds, the fire is flaming hot too *chefs kiss*

All the side-character band was perfection too! Tawnie and her drive, even Axel as a moving-on point for Eleanor, and I'll be (im)patiently waiting for Cooper's story next *side eye*

ALC - I loved the dual narration of this! It really brought the characters to life. My only issue with dual narration is during the male POV the girls voices are still him and during the female POV the male lines are her, and it's kinda funny to listen to the spicier scenes for that.

I loved this so much!! The grump cowboy with the bad ass public relations CEO. Eleanor Stewartt is sassy, strong willed, and such a badass FMC. She heads out west to help with a potential PR nightmare on Stone Ranch. The first night there she meets a hot cowboy and has a sexy hook up in the back of his truck. When the next day she finds out it’s her new client.

Colton Stone is stubborn, handsome CEO and cowboy who built his empire on discipline. He does not want to hand over control to anyone, let alone Eleanor. After the chemistry between them is so undeniable that it leads to so super hot scenes!!!

They are so sweet together and they both bring out them best in each other. I love that he bought the painting that she really wanted and that is what helped her decide to go back!!!

This was seriously so good and I can’t wait for the next book!!

[Michelle Bailey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Two strangers meet in a bar and have a one night stand. The next day you discover that you are working together for the next two months. Can they ignore their chemistry and tackle the PR problem? Who is trying to sabotage his business?
The performance by Vivienne Page and Rich Miller was phenomenal. Vivienne Page was magnificent as tough, strong, determined Eleanor. I could feel her uncertainty, vulnerability, intelligence, sass, spunk, happiness and love through her voice. Rich Miller was superb as grumpy, growly, obsessed, possessive Colton. Huis commanding, alpha tone was positively swoon worthy. I highly recommend listening to this audiobook.

[Anica Gross · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

I want to thank NetGalley for the ALC of this book.

I sat down to listen and I never got back up. This book had me hooked from the start. I love a cowboy romance no matter what, but I usually am iffy on age gap and I am a low spice girl. Well this age gap and spicy level be darned because I was still in it for the long haul. I devoured this book!

The grumpy, stubborn, rich older cowboy has me saying yeehaw.

Eleanor was the city girl who came in to save the day.

I loved them individually but together they were explosive!

If you love spice, love cowboys, love banter and some tension… pick this book up immediately!

I can’t wait to continue this series and check out this authors other work!

[Nicole · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

If you're looking for a mindless hot cowboy read (and willing to look past the mullet), I won't deter you from picking this up.

When it comes to writing reviews for ARC's, I think sometimes having to think too deeply about them ends up being to their detriment because if you try to really figure out the plot of this book... you'll realize there isn't one.

I think this book would’ve been better if it spent more time on things that only got a chapter like the scandal, the secret behind it, the confrontation with Bill, maybe some jealousy with Axel even. These could’ve been more substantial plot points vs the MC’s just fawning over each other and not making up their minds the whole time. Every chapter was either Colton and Eleanor hooking up, Colton and Eleanor needing space from each other because they got too emotionally involved, or Colton and Eleanor using banter as foreplay (the tension was great, though).

Eleanor and Colton have a one night stand only to discover the next day they are set to work together for the next several months. I loved the back and forth banter of the annoyance of trying to work together but fighting back against each other’s ideas, all as a form of flirting. I loved the spicy scenes that always come after the banter. And the slow development of love for each other. And the final realization that giving in for love might just be worth it.

Truly just when I thought maybe I should take a break from reading cowboy romances, this one managed to suck me right in! From page one, M. Hartley had me absolutely captivated with Colton and Eleanor.

Packed with spice and attitude, this book was everything anyone looks for in a good cowboy romance. I absolutely loved seeing the dynamic between these two badass CEOs. Their personalities were so refreshing to read. The tension between them was electric from the first moment, and their banter was truly everything.

I highly recommend this one, it comes out tomorrow, add to your TBRs now!

I love a grumpy MMC and strong, independent FMC. Eleanor runs a PR empire and needs a little break. She takes over a new high-end client that runs a luxury ranch. The tension between Colton Stone and Eleanor can be felt reading this book. Bonus… age-gap!

Unfortunately, I struggled to get into Eleanor and Colton’s story. The banter fell flat for me and the relationship between the two felt forced, with a lot of it simply being lust-based and not feeling like there was much progression past that.

[Teodora · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC.

Very fast romance, very slow storytelling. That is how I would describe this book. Between Eleanor and Colton is a fiery attraction right from the beginning. This is an age gap romance happening on a ranch in Montana and in New York. For me, it was a bit cringe in the beginning, but it all nicely fell into place in the rest of the book.
Overall, I give this book 3 stars.
