She’s a princess locked away in a wooden tower.

Twyla Grace should love her life.

She has a nice house, a wealthy father, and just graduated from college.

What more could a girl want?

For Twyla, the answer has always been Seth.

He’s always wanted to be her white knight.

When Seth Avery first met Twyla, he instantly knew two things.

One, she was the one for him, and two, she was also way too good for him.

When she left, he let her go. He thought that college was what she wanted, and he just wanted her to be happy.

Do the Princess and the Pauper only get their happily ever after in fairy tales?

Now that she’s back in Sequoia though, will Seth be able to let her go again?

A country song that hits all the right notes with the heart. Saddled brings emotion and humor without ever missing out on unpredictable romance. Twyla and Seth channel Romeo and Juliet with an edge of western. A heartwarmingly wonderful surprise.

This story was beautiful. Seth and Twyla had met 4 years earlier and it was love at first sight. Seth thought Twyla was too young and wanted her to be happy. She went off to college but now she’s back and he’s never letting her go again. Hot, steamy and sweet, this was a wonderful story with lots of love. Seth was kind, caring and protective, Twyla was his whole world. When they finally admit their feelings for each other their HEA is beautiful! They had some bumps in the road to navigate but their love was strong, they were true soulmates.

The characters were ridiculously immature. They were supposed to be in their twenties, but they both acted like teenagers.

When they hear her father calling her Seth steals a kiss from Twyla then he tells her to met him back here after midnight. Twyla mets Seth at the treehouse. Seth has everything planned, they sit back to watch a movie. Then they begin kissing and then he pleasures her and they make love.

*spoilers* Seth has always wanted Twyla, but because her father is wealthy he felt he would never be good enough for her. Twyla had been in love with Seth since the day she first saw him. Also her father does not treat people equal, even looks down on them and forbid his daughter to be friends with them, Twyla is very different. She hoped for Seth to ask her out, but it never happened. Now she returning from college and hope it will happen now. Her father is trying to marry her off to a rich bachelor. College was more for her to become a society wife than education and she has no desires or intenetion of becoming that. Seth is still the foreman of the stud farm, wich belongs to the Ford brothers, neighbours of Twyla. Finally they admit their feelings to each other and spend a passionatr night. When Twyla wants to grab some stuff from her home, she runs into her father. She never fought him, because there was no reason, now she has the best of motivations. He calls her names and locks her up, wanting to force her to meet another bachelor. Will Seth and Twyla win thr fight for love?
It was so sweet to read how Seth really saw Twyla, how much her tree house means to her and he maintained it while she was away at college. Seth had to work hard for everything in life but made it. He deeply loves Twyla and she him. They do not care about status or money.

Another well loved romance from this author! This is one of those good old romance stories that you love and know from this author. I love the good old cowboy western-ish vibe in this book. It's one of those homely romances that allows you to get to know each character and fall in love with the backstory and the backdrop of the story. This book stays mostly focused on this couple and their blooming relationship which I loved as sometimes too much drama can take away from the main element of the story. I really enjoyed this opening into what I know is going to be another unmissable series to read! Getting to read these characters finding the other half of themselves was a lovely journey and the author manages to make you feel a part of the journey by pulling you into the story and giving you the chance to be able to envision it all happening in your head and you read along!.

It is all about the timing for this couple...and now is the time

Saddled is the fifth book in the Sequoia: Stud Farm series. This short story is a fast and fabulous read with a star crossed couple who prove it is all about the timing sometimes. Twyla and Seth have loved each other since they were teenagers. But he was five years older and she was underage so nothing ever happened. But when Twyla turned eighteen she was sure Seth would finally ask her out...but again nothing happened. So she went away to school for four years and is now back home. As it turns out Seth was just waiting for the right time to make a move as he did not want to stop Twyla from doing what she wanted with her life. Now though there is nothing which is going to stop this cowboy from roping his little lady and riding off into the sunset together.

This was a really sweet book. While it is short, this book introduces us to the men of Sequoia Stud farm and I can't wait to see what they do when they meet their woman. Seth and Twyla are sweet together. These two have loved each other for years but age and Twyla's father have kept these two apart. Now that Twyla is back from collection, Seth is ready and willing to finally get and keep his woman. There is a little bit of drama but Seth and the rest of the men at the Stud farm have things in hand. I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait for the rest of this series. I would recommend this book and Ms. Shaw as a awesome author.

This book is a part of the Sequoia: Stud Farm series and focuses on Seth and Twyla. Seth and Twyla have been in love with each other since they first laid eyes on each other years prior. Unfortunately, neither one had made any attempts to share their feelings with each other because of who her dad was and because she was going off to college. Now that Twyla is back from college, they are both determined to finally win over the love of their life. They have some obstacles to face in the form of her dad, but thankfully they are both all in with each other and know what they want in life. This was a great story and a great addition to the series!

This was a short and sweet opposites attract/ cowboy romance. It was a great introduction to the Sequoia: Stud Farm series, I already got curious about the Ford brothers and I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

This was Twyla and Seth’s story and it was just such a sweet story. I loved how much of it was centered around the treehouse, it was a special place for the two and also became special to me, I could clearly picture it.

The story had a little steam and a tiny bit of drama but it was really well balanced with the length of the story and I just loved it.

Seth knew Twyla was the one for him when her first met even if she was too good for him. He wanted her to be happy and thought going to college would make her, so he did not stop her from leaving. Now it has been four years and it is time to claim his girl.

Twyla did not want to go to college, her father insisted, he wants to set her up with one of his business associates son. She has no interest that, she cannot wait to see Seth, and he has held her heart ever since the beginning.

This is a heartwarming romance, Seth is just the most perfect man.

These two are sooo sweet!

Twyla has been in love with Seth since she was 17. But, with him being 5 years older, she thought that she didn't stand a chance. Once she turned 18, she figured that maybe he would make a move. When nothing happens, she goes away to college for 4 years. Seth has been in love with Twyla since he first laid eyes on her. But, he didn't want to hold her back. But, when she comes back home after college, all bets are off! But, with a controlling father, can Twyla stand up for the man she loves? These two are super sweet. And.....this story is double virgins!!!!

This is a short but sweet story about 2 people who fall in love at first sight but wait for the right time.
Standalone with no Cliffhangers.
Twyla was 17 when she first saw him. She was the quiet rich girl who always felt alone.
Seth has worked hard for what he has. He will walk away from it all for Twyla.
What will happen when she comes home after 4 years away at college?
What does her father have planned for her?
I love how Shaw wrote them both as quiet easy going people who become strong for each other.

Shaw Hart is incredibly talented! I just love her books. This one, in particular, was extremely enjoyable. Twyla comes from money and her father is set on marrying her off to a rich man, but her heart belongs to Seth. Seth is a foreman at a ranch.
Both Seth and Twyla have been in love with each other for literally years. Twyla’s dad is bound and determined to keep them apart.
This author tells a heck of a story! I really enjoyed this quick, steamy read!!!.

Always under her father's thumb, Twyla wants to find her own way and her own love. Returning from college, Twyla plans on finding the love she wants, and he is next door. Seth has waited four years for Twyla, now he does not plan to wait any more.

Saddled is sexy story with heat, passion and love that sizzles with each turn of the page. Seth is strong, patience and protective. Twyla is his match, with a big heart and strength to go for what she wants.

Great story with each turn of the page.

I've read a lot of books written by Shaw Hart; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the fifth book in the Sequoia: Stud Farm Series; it is a stand-alone short story. The story is about Twyla & Seth; she’s a rich girl that lives in a nice house with her father and has had a crush on him for quite a while. He’s been in love with her too but let her go when she left for college. Now she’s back.

Just because things appear a certain way don't make them true, and Twyla could attest to that fact. Seth wasted precious time to be with her based on what he saw behind the wall of her glass house. Her tree house proved more than a refuge from her jerk of a father. Where was her mother?? No mention of her at all. Potty language f-bomb alerts!! Did I mention her father was a jerk??? Bullies don't like to be bullied and he ran into a brick wall of brothers ready for whatever he wanted.

Twyla is home from college and not happy to be at her parents house. Her dad is cold and distant and does not give her freedom. He looks down at all who do not have money, which includes the guy she has been in love with for years. Seth is the Forman at the ranch next to Twyla's house. He has been in love with her since she was in high school but she was younger. He let her go away to college, but now that she is back will he finally lay claim?.

This is Book 1 of Sequoia: Stud Farm. This is a story for Twyla Grace and Seth Avery. Wow Twyla's father is a mean grumpy old man that gets whats coming to him. I loved how Seth and his other ranch hands all come to Twyla's aide when her daddy thinks he can take her away from Seth. I loved this fast paced love story and can not wait for the next book.

Twyla and Seth fell on love at first glance. She went away for school and he promises himself that he won't let her leave his side ever again.

Twyla's father want her to marry one of his friend's son bit she's in love with Seth. They soon clash after she refuses to give into her father's demands.

I enjoyed this read 📚!.

Twyla and Seth are perfect for each other in every way but he hast to wait till she is 18 to make a move but he doesn’t and she goes off to college and she has a lonely time of it. They are meant to be together and as soon as she graduates from college and she comes back home finally he makes his move. But see, her daddy is a wealthy man and he looks down upon everybody in town and he would not like Twyla marrying any of the “common people” of the town. I love how when her daddy comes to the Stud Ranch all of the workers stand by Seth and protect Twyla from her daddy. I can’t wait for more of this series!!

Oh I so loved Saddled by Shaw Hart. It was impossible not to fall for Seth's charms. Twyla certainly did. The moment they locked eyes with each other they fell in love but Seth didn't want to stand I'm Twyla's way so he watched her leave for college. Now four years later she is home and they are both determined to be together. But will her cold, domineering father succeed in keeping them apart? Definitely recommend.

Twyla has loved Seth for some time but he won’t look her way since she’s too young for her. Seth loves Twyla but doesn’t want to hold her back so stands back while she goes off to college after she graduates high school. Once she’s back home from college, Seth is ready to claim his woman. Will they get their happy ending?.

The author has given us a quick read that pulls us into the lives of Seth and Twyla and does not let go. They have loved each other from afar for years. They come from different worlds; will they be able to have a relationship when she returns from college?

Seth and Twyla had mad mutual attraction for each other. They never told each other how they felt because of outside interference. Their feelings shared and overcoming conflict they get an HEA. I enjoyed the writing, the characters and the conflict.

This short story was really cute and sweet and I loved these two characters. Both neighbors and secretly in love with the other.
Twyla is home from school and cant wait to see Seth again. Even though her dad does not approve, she can no longer deny her feelings.
Seth has loved Twyla for a long time, but now that she is back he will do whatever he can to be with her.
