Auf der Ranch Geteilt

Rate this book
Drei verdammt gut aussehende Cowboys.
Ein Mädchen aus der Stadt, das eine Ranch in West Texas erbt.
Und zu viele Geheimnisse.


Cindy steht die monumentale Aufgabe bevor, ihre Familienranch wieder herzurichten, um sie verkaufen zu können – womit sie maßlos überfordert ist. Als sie also zufällig auf drei Brüder mit der passenden Erfahrung trifft, die einen Job suchen, klingt das fast zu gut, um wahr zu sein.

Der älteste Bruder Landon mit den tätowierten Unterarmen wirkt ruhig und zuversichtlich, als er ihre Dienste auf Basis einer einwöchigen Probezeit anbietet.

Trotz seiner Schüchternheit besitzt Daniel die Muskeln und die Erfahrung eines Cowboys …

Dennoch weigert er sich aus einem mysteriösen Grund, auf ein Pferd zu steigen.

Chase, der übermütige jüngste Bruder, scheint besonders reizbar zu sein und etwas beweisen zu wollen – sei es vor Cindy oder den zu neugierigen Nachbarn, die ihr Vieh nicht in Ruhe lassen wollen.

Aber so freundlich und aufreizend die ßrüder auch sind, sie verfolgen ihre ganz eigenen Motive. Und die erfordern, dass sich keiner von ihnen an Cindy ranmacht, bevor ihr Job erledigt ist – was leichter gesagt ist als getan.

Als die Probleme auf der Ranch außer Kontrolle geraten, muss Cindy sich entscheiden, ob sie ihre Verluste minimieren und davonlaufen will – weg von der Ranch und den drei Jungs, die ihr immer mehr verfallen.

Kann sie die Ranch rechtzeitig wieder zum Laufen bringen, oder wird ihr das Herz gebrochen – sowohl finanziell als auch emotional?

AUF DER RANCH GETEILT ist eine heiße, eigenständige Reverse Harem Cowboy-Romanze, die mit Humor, Action und Geheimnissen gefüllt ist. Happy End garantiert!

This was a pretty good read with a decent storyline and some hot sex involving all the guys (although it comes really late into the book, which is the most disappointing part lol). I liked the idea of a former country girl turned city girl who's returned home. I liked the idea of 3 hunky brothers trying to better their lives and falling for the same girl. The each had their unique personalities and contributed differently to the ranch and their relationship. They were able to spend some one-on-one time with her and that made the storyline more believable instead of them just all falling for the same girl as a group.

So what parts didn't I like? The whole 'secret' the guys had kept referring to was dragged on and on and by the time it came out, I'm just like 'wait, that's it?' The Bitcoin and cryptocurrency discussion will be boring to most. I know what it is and what it means, but it's not a very relatable career or topic that will have people itching to read Cindy's dialogue - I personally grew bored with it. If I wanted to learn more about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, I'd go read a non-romance book. I also didn't like Cindy's attitude towards anything related to her dad. She came off downright haughty and bitter at times. And then she's naive at times, like with the insurance guy. Come on! Everyone should know not to say too much to an insurance rep who's trying to determine if a claim is worth paying.

If it weren't for all those parts I didn't like, I'd hate rated this higher. It just lacked some of the depth I'd have hoped for.

I could not get into this book. I honestly tried. I found myself scanning and not really getting into it. I found that I couldn't relate with the heroine at all and her relationship with the guys and the land she inherited seemed really forced. I couldn't help but feel bad for the heroes in this story being down on their luck and turned away for what I think is a simple issue to fix. I can't say the book was terrible... just not my cup of tea.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Three cowboys are better than one. Double the pleasure, triple the fun (oh who cares they're jacked up hotties and thats what i am here for).

Side Note: The part where she wakes ip late for work gave me a mild case of teacher PTSD, cause honestly, GIRL I FEEL YO PANIC.

Contemporary western reverse harem romance


Cindy just inherited a broken-down ranch. Three brothers just lost their jobs as ranch hands. They all come together to meet each other’s needs.

This was a hot, quick read. It was entertaining, not too long, and didn’t have too much angst. It’s a nice spicy read when you just want to relax. It’s not fantastic or particularly memorable, so I can only give it three stars. But this is perfect when I just want a break from angst, drama, and serious feelings.

Cindy is a strong, independent, and sexually confident woman. The three guys are different enough for my tastes. I don’t like when they are just clones of each other, so I was happy. The story is good enough to keep it going. It didn’t just feel like word porn. I don’t want to give anything away, but I was disappointed not to learn exactly what consequences a villain got in the end. Did they go to jail? Have to pay a lot of monetary damages? We just don’t know.

There is no Other People drama, no cheating, and no slut shaming. So this is SAFE.

1st person past tense from Cindy and the guys.
There were many unnecessary dialogue tags, but they didn’t distract me too much. Mom, Momma, Dad, and so on should be capitalized when not my mom, her mom, etc. like it is a proper name, and that doesn’t happen here. Little things like this grab my attention away. Beyond this, I found 11 other errors – quotation mark issues and missing words mostly. Not too bad.

Loved it, great romantic drama
Cindy could't wait to leave the west Texas ranch she grew up on. Living in Austin, she has made a name for herself as a financial analyst specializing in
Cryptocurrency. Her father dies unexpectedly and she has to go back to the family ranch to settle his estate. She wasn't close to her father. The ranch was his passion. She plans to sell it as fast as she can and get back to Austin. The ranch is in disrepair and facing foreclosure. It seems her father forged her name on a second mortgage. Now she has to do all she can with in reason to get the most out of a sale. She needs help.
Landon, Daniel and Chase Hughes are Ranch hands, who are in need of a job. Cindy over hears them getting fired for Daniels fear of horses, and offers them a job on the spot. Daniel may not be a traditional ranch hand, but he has other skills. He is great with repairs and is willing to fix up the ranch house. They can't help but to be drawn to their new employer. They have big plans and need to keep their relationship with Cindy professional. When they are done, they plan to change that. They just can't seem to keep their hands off of each other. When she learns their secret, it just may save her.
A fast paced, and steamy romantic drama. MFM. A great bonus epilogue.

The book is one you’ll find difficult to put down. They say you can’t go home again but what happens when you inherit the home you grew up in.

Cindy goes back to her hometown thinking that she will be able to close the book on the ranch she grew up in by selling it and going back to her job and home in the city.

Cindy inherited a ranch that is falling apart. Her father had run into troublesome years. She has quite the mess to repair and clean up in order to sell the place and get back to her life. Or will the bank forclose.

She hires the Hughes brothers to fix up the ranch, house and take care of the animals. She finds all three cowboys attractive and she is taken in by their charm. The brothers take the job at a pay rate well below what they should have agreed to.

I recommend you read this book to see what happens between Cindy and the Hughes brothers. What happens with the repair and maintenance of the ranch and does it go into foreclosure? Does she get it fixed up to sell! What are the brothers up to! Must read!

I love a good Reverse Harem book and I have now found another favorite author to get my fix for this genre. Cindy escaped the West Texas ranch where she was raised and never looked back. When she is notified that her father passed she is forced to come back "home" to settle his affairs and she is met with memories and feelings she thought we long forgotten. The Hughes Brothers were just fired from another ranch where they worked as cowboys/handy men and trying to figure out what their next step would be. Emily arrives home to find her father's ranch in severe disrepair, deep in debt and missing the ranch hands who had been working there for as long as she could remember. She immediately hires the Hughes Brothers after overhearing the conversation where they were recently fired. Things are not quite as they seem for either Emily of the brothers as they are each holding secrets from each other. Attractions develop as well a dangers that crop up on the ranch. Can they overcome everything and will their secrets bring the together or push them apart?

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.

I love the fantasy of reverse harem books and this one had a good premise and an interesting beginning. But it did not hit the notes and get fully developed in a way that would have made it a more engaging read. Don't get me wrong as I did enjoy the story and the characters but it did not ramp up the heat regarding the sex scenes, even when they could have been really panty melting with 3 drop dead sexy cowboy brothers and the story development was just not there for me. The "secret" that the brothers have I guessed at after reading a few details of their story so it was not a big reveal at the end. The h was so wishy-washy about coming back home after a family tragedy that it was laughable. Plus describing the same thing over and over became more than a little redundant. I think a better editor would have been able to bring some justice to this book and story line development.

I do want to read more of this author's future work as I do think there is something there.

Sometimes I go onto my kindle and just pick any book on there and start reading. I knew that I would enjoy this because I have previously read Triple Team by Cassie Cole and enjoyed it. I just wanted to read some spicy romance! This definitely hit that criteria. It was a complete binge read as I finished it in a day. I also went to the link at the end to read the 'Happily Ever After' segment that the author had published on her website. Loved it!

I loved how it was set in Texas on a ranch that the main character, Cindy, inherits from her Dad. The setting really added to the story with all the beautiful description. The three brothers' all had their own personalities and I enjoyed getting to know them individually. The relationship between the 4 of them worked well and I applaud Cole for her core strength for being bold enough to write books of such a sexual nature.

Broken In is a sexy, stand-alone reverse harem cowboy romance filled with humour, action, and mystery. I completely understand if this is not your thing. If it is, I definitely recommend!

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Cindy, Landon, Daniel, and Chase. Cindy has a life that most women her age would give their right arm for. However one day that all changes. She gets the call that her father has died and she has to go to Texas and get his affairs in order. One of the items is getting the family ranch all fixed up to be sold. Cindy know she is in over her head when trying to get it fixed but it is just her luck to meet three out of work brothers who are more than willing to help out. What happens though when it is all said and done will she stay and start something new or head back to what she knows once the ranch is done?

This is an amazing story. It has its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

A Great Read!!!

I enjoyed reading Broken In: A Cowboy Reverse Harem Romance. All about Cindy Jamison a young women who buys & sells Cryptocurrency and The Hugh brothers Landon, Chase & Charlie Cowboy brothers. Cindy’s dad just died and she inherited his ranch and all it’s debit. The ranch is a mess and needs a lot of work to get it up to snuff so it can be sold. The ranch is in major trouble, and the three brothers are helping to get it back on track. The author wrote a story about a women who lost her dad & she’s all alone in this world now. All that is left is the family ranch that is in more debit then it’s worth, and the last parting shot he signed her name to incur the debit! Read about Cindy and the cowboys and see if the future is something to look forward too!!
If you enjoy mystery, and passion and heartache, then this is the book for you!!

Cowboys n a city girl

The story is a good one. I think it's too bad they spent soo much time avoiding starting a relationship. It could have been more interesting if they spent time together earlier. To be honest I don't like the Bonus scene chapters at the end of these books.... I decided to drop a star every time an author does that... I am not opposed to signing up for emails but it seems redundant after ten stories. I don't read the Bonus because it isn't part of the story unfortunately and I feel it's not right after every story. I would love to see the Jamison Ranch reappear in another Reverse Harem with maybe a Rodeo Clown, a Bronc/Bull Rider, and a Roper.... The fun that could be had.... I do love how Caddie Cole writes her stories they are always very good storylines.

Attention grabber from the start! When Cindy gets the call that her dad has died, all she wanted to do was get home, take care of what needed done and get back to the city. She had grown up hating the ranch life, but as her time at home went by, she slowly starts remembering the good times. When she discovers that the ranch hands had quit and she overhears three brothers being fired, she jumps at the chance to hire them to get her ranch back in shape. Landon, Chase, and Daniel are more than willing to take the job. I love the touch of suspense that goes through the story and the events that lead to the ending. Very well written and great storyline! I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

intriguing storyline

This is steamy, intriguing and amusing. Inheriting a ranch she didn't want, Cindy impulsively hires 3 ranch hands to help get it in selling condition. The guys have an ulterior motive for working for her, which you don't find out about until the end. Each man has a vastly different personally. Landon is the serious, responsible one, Daniel is the shy, quiet one and Chase is the excitable, rash one. On top of dealing with her father's death, she finds that the ranch is in a dire financial situation. And her slimy neighbors are making her life extra miserable. It's intense and dramatic storyline will keep you guessing about what everyone wants.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

After her dad's death, Cindy comes home to settle the estate and sell the ranch. She soon finds that her dad had a mountain of debt that could affect her future. She wants to fix up as much as possible before the big sale, so she hires a trio of farm hands on a whim to help her out. Well, to be fair, three incredibly smoking hot farm hands. As they all get to know each other better, they all start having feelings for each other, but all of them have secrets that could mess up any chance they have for a future together. This was a pretty enjoyable story. I did receive a free copy of this book and this is my honest review.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Cindy is in deep sh** when her father she's mit very close to unexpectedly dies. Rushing back to rural Texas she's face to face with outback-life she never expected ever really have to life again. Nevertheless the three handsome ranch-hands showing up out of nowhere come quite handy - and not in Ranch matters itself. So when a persuer of her from way back in Highschool secretly tries to buy the Ranch from her all bets are of. This is one hell of a book bringing the daily Ranch Life a little bit closer to you. I really Like Cassies writing style. It's fluent and the Stories always add up. Great.

Smart, sexy reverse harem

Broken In by Cassie Cole is a well written reverse harem romance with an interesting plot including a bit of mystery, suspense and wonderful characters. The cowboys are each unique and their interactions with Cindy are engaging and clearly defined.
I really enjoyed this book, the plot kept me engaged in that the author cleverly provides the reader details in small doses to keep one guessing and captivated.
Overall, a well-rounded reverse harem with many wonderful elements of romance including emotional connections and an HEA.

Good read, a few editing problems

Reading this back-to-back with Five Alarm Christmas, reinforced what I like about Cole's writing. There is a real plot -- something often overlooked in this genre -- that provides the foundation for the story.

The editing on this one was not as good as I'd like. I have a hard time accepting spelling mistakes and left out words. Computers can catch most misspellings. If a book is read by more than two beta readers, missing words should be caught.

One last thing, and this is silly. "Gunna" is an ugly looking word. Every where else, it's "gonna".

Cindy has so much in life hitting her at once when she least expected it...
Upon that fateful call, sealing all of the life she knew growing up. Returning home was the hardest thing for her and she wanted it done. Finding out there was more bite to the bark, she decided to do what she needed to do. With the three very sexy and dashing brothers helping her, the secrets they keep, will she be able to get past it. Wonderful read and look forward to more of your books.

Intriguing and mystifying, this book had a great premise and interesting characters. I liked the three brothers a lot. I had a hard time with her character. I got that the author made her a strong, independent woman which I love but while I understood her disenchantment with her relationship regarding her father, I have a hard time with liars. That being said, I guess that that means I shouldn't like the brothers because they lied by omission. However, she lied outright. So they win. So I liked the book in the end. Well written to engage your emotions.

Cindy left her little town, determined to never look back. Landon, Daniel and Chase are searching for a place of their own. Someone is determined to destroy her farm. Will Cindy leave them behind? Will Landon, Daniel and chase find what they are looking for?

Loved the chemistry between the men and Cindy. I didn't blame Cindy for her thinking, but loved how she slowly opened up and saw that her past wasn't all that bad. I loved how each man brought a different personality to the table and were able to fill in what was missing. Good read!

Riding a cowboy or 2 can definitely push a forms a grief to the way the side

Coming back home wasn't what you want to do especially if; you have to settle up your late estranged father's ranch. On top of it now finding out now you have 3 Uber hot super cheap ranch hands, that you were just so lucky to find in a pinch. Really what could go wrong all that needs to get done is a quick turn over. Then back to the life I have already est. never looking back at this way out of the way ranch. You just have to give this a read it's a slow build but wow,once it starts this lustfulled scenes. Will getting your blood pumping just like a great thunderstorm rolling thru hard ,strong, and fast.

I have to say, I'm a little disappointed.
Normally I love Cassie's RH books. They're so full of people, life, stories..
This one sadly didn't live up to the mark. My biggest issue was all the secrets.
Or Cindy who is a strong, smart, independent woman ending up as little more than a damsel in distress having to be rescued by some guys. Also, a lot of the solutions were a bit too convenient.
The RH part felt more like a weekend-fling rather than anything more than that. Didn't feel the love connection between Cindy and any of them.

Great plot lines

I received a free copy of this book however all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
I really enjoyed this book. Most poly books are just focused on that relationship, where as this book has other plot lines going on and the relationship is happening in the background. That being said the poly relationship building in the background grabs you until you become almost personally invested in it.

I love reading reverse harem romances as what girl would not like a group of men who are not only there to protect her but please her in many fun ways. Cindy inherited a ranch from her dad but really he left her a mess as it’s in foreclosure due to him not paying his bills. She hired three brothers to help her get things going in the right direction. There are some twists and turns making for a good read.
