Peaches & Pistols

by Amanda Jayne

SHE NEEDS A SAFE PLACE TO STAY.
HE DOESN’T LET ANYONE IN.

What if falling in love is the most dangerous choice of all?

Mia Whitaker will do anything to protect her daughter, even if it means taking life-changing risks with consequences she can never undo.

When an unexpected opportunity lands in her path, Mia must decide how much more she’s willing to risk for a fresh start.

Greyson Clark has built his world around control. As a single father, his focus has always been his daughter and her safety. Letting anyone into his home, his routine, or his life is the last thing he wants.

Until Mia arrives.

Living under one roof, Mia and Greyson are forced to parent side-by-side while earning each other’s trust, only to discover an undeniable attraction neither can resist.

Four hearts. One home. And love they didn’t see coming.

When Mia’s past threatens the life they’re building together, they’ll have to decide how far they’re willing to go to protect the family they never expected to find.

Thank you to Luna Literary + the author for the arc, it was greatly appreciated!

Peaches & Pistols packed an emotional punch with an abused woman on the run with her six year old daughter, who finds true love and family in a small Colorado town.

Overall, I really loved Mia and Greyson’s story. Both of them have a lot of hurt (for different reasons) and find healing and acceptance in each other. However, I kind of hated their romance. All that tension and slow burn flipped a switch into instalove and it just didn’t work for me. Also the barn scene with a certain someone just didn’t really fit the vibe of the book either.

✨ My Thoughts ✨
Okay so this is my first Amanda Jayne book and it will not be the last, let me tell you that. This book was fantastic and I binge read it yesterday.

Mia has escaped her abusive husband and ends up with her daughter Everly in a small town where she meet Greyson, a single dad to Harper. Greyson is in need of a nanny to Harper and Mia is in need of a job.

This story is not only heartwarming, it's emotional, dark and heartbreaking as well.

First of all, the kids absolutely stole my heart. Everly and Harper, reading about them was amazing and beautiful. Best friends. I loved to read about these two and to see them become sisters is just great.

Greyson and Mia's relationship was slowburn and it was so great to get to see their relation grow to something more. Greyson is so protective over Mia and Everly and I love it. We do love a protective mmc you all.

The family dynamic in this book is absolute fire and I love the messages between all of them, hilarious. Everyone welcomed her and Everly with open aems and made her feel like family. Mia is so caring about everyone and to see her care for both Greyson and Harper, beautiful.

The way Greyson is around Mia when she gets flashbacks or gets reminders from her abusive husband, the support Greyson gives is everything. Greyson treats her right and it’s beautiful to see. Him being there for her she can open up and tell her story 🩷

I had a great time reading this and if you love the tropes down below, it’s the perfect read for you. Amanda, you have done such a good job with this book. Amazing.

This book has some heavy topics so please check the triggers besties.

[Emily Knaus · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m sure pretty that one of my favorite trope combos has to be age gap and FMC on the run. This combo together just does something to me and Peaches and Pistols ticks those boxes and then some!

It gave me everything I want from a single mom on the run romance with a hunky morally grey cowboy. It has danger humming under the surface, a fiercely protective MMC, and a found family that wraps around the FMC and her little girl like a blanket.

Mia (26) and her young daughter, Everly, show up in Greyson’s (37) world carrying fear, exhaustion, and a past they’re desperate to escape. They first meet Izzy in a time of sadness and frustration. Izzy brings them right into the fold, knowing that the Whitaker family can offer her sanctuary. The nanny job isn’t cute or convenient; it’s survival when Mia needs a safe place for her and her daughter while Greyson needs help with his own daughter, Harper. Mia is trying to build a life where Everly can finally breathe. And Greyson, with all his morally grey cowboy edges, sees that instantly. He doesn’t push her to confess what she’s running from. He just shows up for her in this steady, quiet way because he is already in love with the way she protects her daughter. The justice he gets for Mia is a total turn on, he would go to the ends of the earth for her and Everly. Love that he used his side hustle to find and ruin Mia’s POS ex because dealing in secrets really paid off.

Oh my gosh, I am I not even joking when I say that the found family element is honestly the soul of this book. Greyson may not be a Whitaker by blood, but he and Harper are family and Cecilia proves it. She’s the Whitaker matriarch, all loyalty and fierce care, and the way she takes in Mia and Everly without hesitation made my heart squeeze. Watching Harper and Everly bond in that instant bestfriends way only kids can, and seeing Cecilia fold Mia into the family with the same warmth she’s always given Greyson, creates this beautiful sense of safety that makes the romance hit even harder. The Whitaker brothers, their wives and Greyson’s half-sister create this huge group of people supporting Mia and giving her the family she never had.

Loved seeing Mia reclaim herself and provide the life she always wanted for her daughter and in the process gain another daughter with Harper. The whole family becoming one was adorable. Harper gets a Mom, and Everly gets Dad. It’s the cutest moment when they all become one happy family. Greyson is devoted to her happiness and I just loved that for both of them.

“Be mine, Mia. Because I’m already irrevocably yours. Let me love you and take care of you. Give me a chance to be a dad to Everly. I’ll give anything, be anything, you two need.”

Greyson and Mia’s story is not just a love story. It’s about rebuilding. It’s choosing each other. It’s finding a home where you never expected one. I laughed, cried, and smiled so much. I can’t believe I had never read anything by Amanda Jayne, but that changes now!

A huge thank you Amanda Jayne and Luna Literary for the early copy!

Note: Two chapters, only 5%, and I was already crying. 😭

I could relate to Mia and the…aftershocks…she experienced. So, of course, my heart was on the line alongside hers. She has great development throughout Peaches and Pistols. You can almost feel the tension leaving her body through each chapter. (Also: I have a daughter called Evarleigh so my emotions were probably a bit extra.)

Greyson is that sexy, older MMC we all crave in these books. He’s protective, fierce, maybe a bit mysterious. Very touch-her-and-die, my guy. Gimme, gimme.

The romance isn’t insta-lust that’s drawn out over several pages. It’s a slow burn with excellently paced buildup and maybe a touch of will they/won’t they. The spice is consent-only between these two and they use verbal communication throughout.

The children in this book really did capture my attention. They were written like actual children instead of this very mature or very whiny version I typically meet in books. (If I had to guess based on this and this alone, Amanda is probably a mother and actually likes her child/ren.)

The found family was so beautifully woven into the story of Mia and Everly’s journey to freedom. I haven’t read other work by Amanda Jayne but I do plan to and I do hope this series goes through each member of this found family. 🤞🏻

Note: I reached the end and cried again. Rude (I love it).

Trigger Warning: There is mention of darker themes throughout as Mia shares her experiences with Carter; physical, mental, emotional, financial abuse.

Thank you, Amanda Jayne & Luna Literary for the opportunity to read and review this ARC for Peaches and Pistols in exchange for my honest review.

[Kirsty · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg I LOVED this book so much!! 😭🍑🔫 Mia and Greyson together absolutely had my whole heart. The forced living together, the two single parents trying to figure out how to make this whole family thing work, the slow building trust and that undeniable attraction between them… I was ALL IN!!

Mia is such a strong mum and everything she does is for her daughter, and I loved watching her slowly find a place where she actually felt safe and cared for. And Greyson!!! This man had his walls UP and was so focused on protecting his daughter and controlling every part of his life, but watching Mia get through those walls was just everything. 🥹

But honestly my favourite part was the KIDS!!! 😭❤️ Watching the four of them bond and become this little family was so freaking adorable. I loved how naturally they connected and how Mia and Greyson learned to parent together. Those little family moments had me smiling like an idiot.

There was so much heart in this story, but also enough tension, drama and danger to keep me turning those pages because of course Mia’s past had to come crashing into the beautiful little life they were building!! I was stressed, emotional and completely invested.

I just loved watching these two people who weren’t looking for love find something they absolutely needed. A safe place, a family, trust and each other. 🥹❤️

Such a gorgeous, emotional, addictive read and I am OBSESSED with Mia, Greyson and their little family. Amanda Jayne absolutely delivered with this one!! 🍑💕

[Briana Schaudi · Rating 5 out of 5]

First off, THANK YOU Luna Literacy Management & author Amanda Jayne for this ARC opportunity!!
Mia and Greyson were perfect for one another. Mia escaped with her young daughter from an abusive husband. Greyson has a troubled family past and deep down he wants what he couldn’t have for him and his daughter.
Mia and her daughter travel as far as they can handle and end up in a small Colorado town where they meet Izzy who invites them to her husband’s family farm.
Mia and her daughter end up living with Greyson and his daughter as the live in nanny. The more the two get to know one another the more their feelings for each other grow. At the same time their daughters, even with a few years between them, become the best of friends!
While Mia and her daughter settle into a new routine and life Greyson helps Mia work through the abuse she was dealt by her not yet ex husband. She worries he will find them and punish them and Greyson does his best to show her they are safe and protected with him and his extended family.
It’s a beautiful love story because neither was looking to be in a relationship. It grew organically between shared notes, family dinners, and late evening talks about life, love, and family.
When it comes time to protect his family, Greyson does what is needed to be done to get Mia’s ex-husband to sign the divorce papers and relinquish custody.
Mia and Greyson may have started the story as two individuals facing family dramas of their own, but in the end they found the hea!

Ate it up & left no crumbs. This is my favourite Amanda Jayne read so far & I can’t wait to see what else is yet to come with this author.

We start off the book with our FMC Mia and her sweet little girl being on the run, they land in the cute, cosy, small town, of Swiftwater, Colorado where they bump into someone who sees them as people who could use a little bit of support in a time of need.

This leads to Mia being offered the job of live-in nanny for our MMC Greyson’s little girl. As two single parents our MCs start forming a bond and we see their friendship blossom into more. But, will Mia’s past follow her?

This story has some heavy topics so please do check the triggers. I felt that these were all written with the utmost care and gave enough detail without going too far which left us with a book that was still wholesome and funny whilst dealing with the heaviness.

I genuinely didn’t want to put this book down right from chapter 1. The children were adorable, the spice was spicing (even as a slow-burn), the found family were as perfect this time as they have been throughout the series so far. Greyson was the greenest or green flags, his patience with Mia was stunning to see & I loved his filthy mouth.

I don’t know what else I can say without ruining any plot but my last lil note would be to please read this book, you won’t regret it.

Happy Reading Besties xoxo

This book had my heart racing and had me holding my breath from the first page. The intense few chapters leading into the beautiful slow burn was perfect. I loved the careful progress of the relationship between Greyson and Mia. Where some books rush right into the romance, I loved the space the author gave these characters to learn each other and to grow.
Their cute, budding relationship was absolutely adorable. One of my favorite lines captured that feeling perfectly: “What I didn’t expect was for her to write me back. I feel like I’m passing notes with the pretty girl in homeroom.” Hello middle school heart swoon ! 🧡Being able to feel the growth of Mia was a beautiful journey of resilience and strength.
Greyson was the strong “sir” we all need sometimes. His patience and steady presence were everything. For a man with few words, he definitely had some heart melting ones “You bringing your girls?” My girls…that sounds way too good.”
I am here for the slow burn and the natural progression of their relationship. This book just hit all my feels—laughing one minute, tearing up the next. Highly recommend if you love a well-paced, emotional cowboy romance.

[Leah Nelson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Going into this, I was a little nervous. Small town romances can be cliche but this was anything but.

The found family aspect is always one of my favorites, taking the outsiders in and giving them a loving home and making them apart of the family. Cecelia and Walter not only took in an extra kid, Greyson, but made sure Mia and Everly were apart of the family even before their romance started.

Amanda dealt with Mia's past delicately, giving just enough information without making it a difficult read. Everyone in the book was willing to overlook her past and not force her to talk about the abuse while making her feel welcome and giving her all the support she needed.

Greyson was willing to do whatever was needed to keep her safe. I do wish we learned about the side business more, but it was talked about enough that it wasn't out of nowhere that Greyson was able to make Mia's ex go away. You could tell Greyson struggled with the "dark" side of himself sometimes and Everly made sure to support him in the same way he supported her.

I'm glad Izzy could tell that something was off the first time she met Mia and Everly and kind of forced (in a loving way) her to meet her family, knowing they would welcome her with open arms.

The buildup to the next book was just enough to get me excited to keep reading. I didn't read the first two books before reading this but I do plan to go back and read them now.

3.7 5 Stars

I love a woman on the run trope SO much. I love it even more when the MMC meets the FMC and its love at first sight for him. When I tell you that Greyson Clark falls first and hard I mean this man becomes obsessed with Mia, our FMC. This man has been all about his daughter for so long and then Mia comes along and he wants to know everything about her. I LOVE that!

The storyline was written so well, I loved the plot and how we move through the events with ease. The characters, (main and side) all played such important roles in the story which kept me engaged and looking forward to what was going to happen next.

There was something missing that I can’t put my finger on but I wish we had just a bit more depth with the main characters. The book is a little long and I had to push through on a few chapters. There is a lot we know about them but I wish we had maybe some flashbacks to Mia and her sister or even her family to fully grasp her back story. It is still such a good book and I was definitely entertained and the flirting and spice are top notch! I am stoked for the next book!

[Chaptersxchill · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was everything and more. It was dark, emotional, heartbreaking, and healing all at once. Watching her come out of an abusive relationship and slowly begin to unlearn all of the survival instincts she had built to protect herself absolutely broke my heart. I loved getting to see her learn what it actually feels like to be safe, cared for, and genuinely loved.

I also don’t think I’ve ever read a romance with both a single mom and a single dad, and I loved that dynamic so much. Add in the age gap and a man who immediately becomes protective, takes care of her, and loves her exactly the way she deserves? I was completely sold. 🥹

The family aspect made it even better. I loved the way they welcomed her in and made her feel like she belonged, especially after everything she had been through. There was just so much heart underneath the darker parts of this story.

I genuinely loved every part of this book. Once I started, I just wanted to keep reading until I reached the very end. The romance, the healing, the family, the protectiveness… everything worked for me. ❤️

[Khou Yang · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was so in love with Mia and Greyson. My heart immediately went out to Mia and her daughter, Everly. Mia has been wholly dependent on her husband and I know it took strength and courage to leave everything she knew behind. Greyson was broody, grumpy, and all sorts of delicious. He was so patient with Mia, knowing she had run from something terrible, and didn't rush her. He was still grumpy with her after she moved in, but he made sure she knew it wasn't her. They had great tension, communication, and attraction. The only thing that didn't make it five stars is I couldn't see them falling in love as fast as they did. It had nothing to do with their lack of physical affection but more to do with the lack of proximity they had. Greyson had tried to avoid Mia by leaving early and coming late. They had only recently started to see each other more and all of a sudden it was love. I do appreciate that Greyson didn't pressure Mia. If you love small town, single parents, and forced proximity, I would definitely recomme this one.

[Cope Durfee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to Amanda Jayne and Luna Literary Management for the ARC of Peaches and Pistols. I loved every heartfelt moment of this book. It took me on one hell of a ride. I laughed, I cried, I cursed the authors name (in the best way I promise). Mia and Everly were so amazing and had the best mother daughter relationship. Mia had so much love to give and I am glad she found herself at the Lucky Spurs Ranch. Greyson and Harper had the sweetest relationship and he would do anything for her. I dont think she knew what she was missing by not having a mom because of how great of a dad Greyson was. The secrets and favors traded made for a great story, if I could find a way to make spilling the tea part of my job I sure as hell would. The filthy mouth on Greyson had me panting and wanting more. The ending scene made me feral and want to start stalking Amanda for scraps of the next story. Over all 5 stars and I cant wait for the next book.

Tore through this book in two days. The first half made me ugly cry during a restless night.
The second half… was mostly just cute.

I had some questions and though I am absolutely not complaining, I do feel it’s kinda weird for two adults who’ve never ventured on the kinkier side of a sex life, to suddenly be very into a D/s dynamic. Even if the sexy times were not that extreme and wholesome in and off themselves.

The second half also had me lose touch with Greyson as a character, because he’s suddenly a little too much of a green flag.

The conflict with Mia’s ex also felt like it came a bit too late, and though I appreciate not going through ALL the DRAMA, with the adults around her acting like actual responsible adults, the buildup could’ve been better.

Anyway, don’t let my nitpicking keep you from a sweet lovestory with capable adults, cute kids and the best family anyone could hope for.

[Annie Vance · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was not prepared for how emotional this book would be. I realized when I was about 50% in that I was supposed to have read books 1 and 2 before diving into this one (facepalm). I want to pause right here for a second...will I go back and read books 1 and 2, probably! Not because you need them to understand book 3, but because I genuinely enjoyed Amanda Jayne's writing style and want to dive in a little deeper. Make sense? Good...now to move forward.

This book was a go from the JUMP. It gets deep fast as you start with why Mia needed to get herself and daughter away. There are some very real and heavy topics discussed...some in explicit detail, so read your TW/CW before you dive in.

But if you are looking for a series that is dark and delicious, with some lite BDSM...this book hit those spots. I was invested in this world that Amanda has created which is why I want to start at book one to be more connected.

Peaches & Pistols is the third book in the Lucky Spurs Ranch series, and once again, Amanda Jayne delivered another fun and heartwarming romance.

And can we talk about Daddy Greyson? 😍
Yes. Please. I'll take one, thank you very much. 😂

Greyson is such a great match for Mia, especially when it comes to helping her work through her trauma. I really loved watching their relationship develop and seeing how they support each other.

One of my favorite things about this series is how interconnected the stories are. All the characters from the previous books continue to have such an important presence, which makes the whole Lucky Spurs Ranch world feel like one big family.

And that ending?! 👀

The book basically ends right where the next story is about to begin, and now I'm sitting here impatiently waiting to get my hands on book four.

Another lovely addition to this series, and I'm definitely not ready to leave Lucky Spurs Ranch just yet. 🤎🐴📚

[Hayley Peckham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg I absolutely ADORED these two. This is by far my favourite in the series.

Greyson…Daddy Greyson… this MAN. Patient, supportive, protective, someone who doesn’t trust easily but creates a safe space for Mia and her daughter. Ugh my heart. He’s the best daddy and when he turns into DADDY…. SIR….Lawddddd have mercy. That dominate, intense side was just hidden under all that sweetness… 🥵 but the touch her and ☠️ Greyson?! He just might be my favorite… the WAY I was cheering him on 🙌

I related so much to Mia. Someone who’s learned to do everything on her own because she’s always been treated like a burden. Not knowing love because she’s been treated like property rather than a human being. Someone who’s been sad and alone and scared. The ways Greyson shows her she’s not alone, is loved and cherished and that he would do anything for her and Everly. My heart was overflowing. Not to mention those sweet girls. This little family stole my heart. Loved!!!!

I had a hard time forming the words that would justify how much I love this book. I ADORE this book and character so so much! It had me in happy tears more than a couple times.

Mia and Greyson are.... well, they are everything right in a FMC on the run and a Morally Gray MMC book. Mia got away from her past and fell into the best found family there ever was. Harper and Everly, they are the sweetest girls that became fast friends and ended as sisters. This family of 4 will live rent free in my head for a long time and I can't wait to dive in and read the first two books in the series.

Also, Cecelia and Walter take the cake for favorite book parents! They are the absolute best!!

Thank you so much to author Amanda Jayne and Luna Literary Management for this ARC of Peaches and Pistols. From the moment I saw this book I knew it was going to be good but I was not prepared for just how good. When I say I was enthralled, I mean it!

From the very beginning there is an air of tension built up and continues to climb in the most addictive way. I loved how FMC Mia's healing is portrayed as a journey with many ups and downs. It takes time and of course it isn't all smooth sailing, makes it feel all the more real. MMC Greyson is a mystery, an addictive blend of morally grey and absolutely dotting father.

I love a book with a group chat full of banter and this one did not disappoint! The Andersens are the kind of family you want to be a part of! To top it off, the relationship that forms between Mia's daughter Everly and Greysons daughter Harper is a balm for the soul!

Premiere fois que je lis Amanda Jayne, et même si c'est le tome 3, cela ne m'a pas dérangé.

Alors ce qui est marrant c'est que j'ai lu la semaine dernière une romance dans le même genre, avec une femme mère célibataire qui échappe à un mari violent, et qui trouve refuge dans une petite ville, dans un ranch.

Mais celui-ci est plus abouti, il y a plus d'émotions et la relation entre nos deux prota se fait petit à petit.
Mia devient la nounou, car oui c'est une romance rancher single dad.

J'ai apprécié toute cette petite famille, communauté, l'histoire familiale .
Alors certes elle est toujours mariée, mais cela ne m'a pas dérangé, car Mia réapprend à vivre, à faire confiance, et à s'aimer tout simplement.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I devoured this book!

Mia and Greyson had my whole heart. 🥹📚

Forced proximity, two single parents, slow-building trust, undeniable chemistry, and four adorable kids forming the sweetest little found family? I was absolutely ALL IN. ❤️

Mia is strong, protective, and doing everything for her daughter, while Greyson is all walls, control, and quiet devotion. Watching her soften his edges and seeing them learn to build a life together was so swoony. ✨

And the kids?! Stole the entire book. 😭💛 Their bond, the family moments, the co-parenting growth — perfection.

Emotional, tender, dramatic, and full of heart, with just enough danger from Mia’s past to keep the pages flying. A gorgeous romance about safety, trust, family, and finding the love you didn’t know you needed. 💘📖

Can't wait for the next book!

Amanda Jayne totally knocked this book out of this world with Greyson and Mia’s story. I do not know how she was able to handle such sensitive subjects such as DV, narcissistic behavior, and trauma like she did when she wrote this book.

Mia’s story nearly broke me. From never knowing what love truly was to being surrounded by it instantly with the found family Greyson surrounded himself with. From the start I knew Mia would be an underdog that would flourish with patience, love, and time. And boy was I right! The ending was just chef kiss

Greyson is the grumpy single dad that we have had glimpses of in previous books but never knew his story. I want to reach through the pages and strangle Meredith for her behavior. The way that he shows up for his daughter then Mia and her daughter is just swoon worthy.

Honestly, this book was really really cute. It follows Mia and Grayson. Mia has escaped her abusive marriage and ends up in the same small town single day. Grayson is loving. Grayson needs nanny and Mia fits the bill.
Their relationship was slowburn, caring and sweet. Grayson was all protective a little bit grumpy. So obviously he was perfect.
If you need a sweet, low stakes, cowboy book this one is for you.
The two daughters were absolutely adorable 🥰

I really liked the idea of this book. Mixing a fun cowboy romance with a darker sub-plot. But as much as I liked the pieces, I don't know if the execution was fully there. I felt like the romance was too insta-lovey for my liking and once Greyson and Mia got together, I completely lost interest in the story. Not even the cute children were enough to keep me all that interested in the last quarter.

I loved Mia and Greyson's story. Mia's situation really tugged on my heart strings but she was doing whatever it took to get her baby to safety and start a new life. Greyson couldn't have been a more perfect spot for her to land. The only thing that felt out of place is they went from kissing once to being in love and calling each other's children their own. It didn't feel natural to me.
