Her Cowboy's Untamed Heart

Cowboy Brothers of Hart's Ridge Ranch #3

by Faith Landon

He's the wildest of the Hart brothers, risking life and limb to chase the next adventure in the bull riding arena. She's a reserved professional, a cool beauty born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but who gave it all up to pursue her passion for horse training. Can the cowboy rebel and a former rich girl find common ground, or will their separate worlds ultimately pull them apart?

Beau Hart has always loved adventure from the time he was a boy. The youngest of the Hart brothers, Beau has made a name for himself as a bull riding champion in rodeos all over the country. But when a bad fall leaves his body broken, he returns home to mend. As much as he loves his family, Beau's passion is his sport. All that motivates him is the moment he can get back on the road to his next rodeo.

Diane Hayes has heard all about handsome, reckless Beau during the months she's been working at Hart's Ridge Ranch as a horse trainer. Rodeo cowboys are the least of Diane's interests, yet from the moment she and Beau meet, the attraction is undeniable. He's charismatic and kind, and before long she and Beau are dancing around a forbidden romance that could not only jeopardize her job at Hart's Ridge Ranch, but also put her heart at risk of breaking.

While neither of them is looking for love, there's no denying their feelings for each other. And as Beau's impatience to resume his career clashes with the limitations of his injuries, Diane has pressures of her own to contend with from her affluent family back East. With opposing forces pulling them apart, can Beau and Diane find a bridge to a future they can share together?

The Cowboy Brothers of Hart's Ridge Ranch is a sweet contemporary western romance series with clean and Christian stories about the blessings of family and the power of love.

The third book in the series of Brothers of Hart's Ridge Ranch with this being Beau and Diane's story. Beau was the youngest of the Hart brothers being a professional bullrider, but his last ride left him in less than ideal condition sending him home to the ranch for more of healing. He had a badly broken leg, ribs, spinal cord injury, cut on his forehead, and a concussion. He was not a man to be setting around doing nothing so this recuperation was rough on him. He did not like being waited on by anyone. He got up each day got to the kitchen for breakfast which was where he met the new horse trainer, Diane Hayes. She was a prim and proper young woman that dress professionally each day for her job being from the New York money sector. The moment these two met the sparks began to fly. The conversation was full of angst, and their attraction to each other was undeniable. All Beau could talk about was getting back on the circuit, and the doctor would say your spinal cord and muscles around it are not healing satisfactorily. Of course his leg was still in the cast, and his mother and Diane both hated him bullriding anyway. Then there was her brother, Warren always calling telling her it was time for her to come home. He would belittle her and treat her like a child. He was the character of the book you will dislike and be glad you do not have a brother like him. He was out for number one for sure none of his so called concern was for his sister. My favorite character only appeared once for just a few lines was her aunt. Diane called her aunt looking for some information. This conversation was humorous, informative, and showed the aunt as an outstanding, independent, caring, loving, woman that only wanted the best for her niece. Question remains though will Diane tame Beau to stay at the ranch? An absolute fabulous heartfelt story that will keep you coming back for more. I can hardly wait for the next book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily reviewing it.

While this is a part of a series, you don't have to read the prior ones to fully connect to the characters and enjoy it BUT I would highly recommend it. The deep connection between the family is just wonderful to read.

This book is written in a dual POV format. This is a favorite of mine. Seeing that glimpse into a character's thoughts really help me to better connect with them and really makes them more humanized.

I adore Beau and Diane's story. Beau is a bull-rider that has suffered from a bad fall. He is taking the time to recuperate at his family's ranch during the meantime. He can't wait to return to the dangerous sport. Diane on the other hand was raised with a "golden" spoon. She isn't interested in that pampered life style. She loves horses and wants to train them. She leaves for Wyoming and now worked on the Hart's Ridge Ranch working for Beau's family.

Sparks fly between these two totally opposite people but will it last? What will happen once Beau is fully healed to return to the sport that he loves? Will Diane succumb to her family's pressure and move back to New York? Will Beau give up bull-riding for Diane? These are just a few questions that arise while reading this delightful story.

I can't wait to read more of the Hart brothers stories!

I highly recommend this sweet, clean romance. There are just a few kissing scenes.

This series keeps getting better and better. The third book is Beau Hart’s story. Recently injured on the rodeo circuit, bull rider Beau is back at his family’s ranch recuperating. The new horse trainer on the Hart Ridge Ranch has a family trying to drag her home. Who could know that the connection between Beau and Diane would be so instant or intense? Beau wants to get back on the circuit as soon as possible and Diane knows this and will protect her heart.

I love the way Ms. Landon brings these two characters together. She breathes life and imperfections into her characters, making the HEA that much sweeter. They are both a bit broken in different ways, with dreams for their futures. They shouldn’t fit together, and yet they do in a way no one else can. I loved watching Beau grow and learn what is important in life and Diane learn to stand up for herself and her dreams! I’m looking forward to the other brother’s stories. I recommend this sweet cowboy romance. I received an arc of this book from booksprout, and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Beau arrives home after being stomped by a bull and needing to recover. While there, he notices Diane, a new horse trainer on the ranch. His mom cautions him away from her as he keeps saying he is leaving after he heals and she doesn't want to lose a great horse trainer. Diane enjoys the ranch and is out to prove herself. However, her family tries to lure her back home. Will she stay or go? Will Beau romance her?

Great story with some twists and turns. I love the way Ms. Landon writes her characters. They evoke emotions, whether it's to cry and have you get angry at the characters. I really enjoyed this story and can't wait for future books of this series. It can be read as a stand alone. It's a clean romance.

Beau is the youngest Hart brother and the wildest with his bull riding and all the injuries that go along with it but his latest has him seriously injured and back at the ranch to recover where he meets the new horse trainer Diane. She is from wealthy parents back in New York who wants her to come back but all she ever wanted to do is train horses and she loves her new job at the Hart ranch. When she meets Beau sparks fly but when she hears him talking about going back to bull riding she knows she can not act on her attraction. Loved this sweet romance with Beau and Diane.

Thanks to Booksprout for a copy of this book.

Beau Hart's story had less drama than I had expected, so I was left a little disappointed by that, but overall, I liked the wild side of the youngest Hart brother. He was dramatic, impatient, untamed, charming, and confident most of the time. Diane, on the other hand, was patient, practical, and logical - the exact opposite of Beau, which helped complement his personality.

There wasn't any sneak peek for the next book, but I'm already excited to read it. I'm hoping it's Mateo's first and then Isaac's.

This is the 3rd book in the series.

This book is about Beau, the brother who is a bull rider in the rodeo. He is injured and back home while he heals.
Diane comes from a wealthy family, but she is working at the brother's ranch as a horse trainer until she finds a way to set up in business on her own.
There is an attraction between them but can it lead to a HEA.

I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it.

Great series of the Heart brothers! Attraction at first sight! But not a good idea, because she works for his mother and he will just leave as soon as his broken bones are healed and brake her heart. Will love prevail and find a way for them to be together?

Thanks to the author for providing this book for my honest review!

[Barb · Rating 5 out of 5]

A love story and a great example of opposites attracting. The characters are well written and this book flows easily. Beau and Diane may have different personalities, but they bring something special and much needed into each other’s life. Family relationships are explored and reflection on the past and hopes for the future are expressed; but like any good story, the ups and downs are here to add smiles and tears.

Beau is a risk taking bull rider sidelined by injuries while Diane is a former wealthy socialite turned horse trainer for his family’s ranch. They start a romantic relationship but both fear the other will leave for their former lives. Diane’s brother was a self centered snob who thought he could make her live her new life but Beau had a short temper at times pushing Diane away when she wanted to comfort him. This was a clean fast moving romance.

This was Beau & Diane’s book. He's the wildest of the Hart brothers, risking life and limb to chase the next adventure in the bull riding arena. She's a reserved professional, a cool beauty born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but gave it all up to pursue her passion for horse training. Can the cowboy rebel and a former rich girl find common ground, or will their separate worlds ultimately pull them apart? Am voluntarily leaving my review.

What a pleasure to be back in Greenville, in the Hart family! The ranch is wonderful: I was truly immersed in it. The descriptions are so good. And I loved the story so much. I smiled, feared and waited till the end! Go for it, it’s a must read if you love small town romances, good characters and breathtaking views!

Her Cowboys Untamed Heart

I really enjoyed Beau and his recovering from his bucking bronco injury. Vera Hart hired a lady trainer for their horses, name Dianne. She was from New York but wanted to pursue her skills in training horses. She and Beau became acquainted , slowly falling in love. Just enjoy their story.

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this book however not as much as the first two in the series.
This one didn't seem to go into as much depth as the first two and wasn't quite as long. That being said the story is just as good as the first two.
I liked the characters and the story was realistic.

Really like the sexy cowboy aspect of this story. Cowboys always try to be so tough in life and in love but they also have weakness when it comes to love. Especially with a beautiful woman that they try to resist. Makes for very entertaining reading. Good read.

Her Cowboy’s Untamed Heart

As the third book in this series I have come to know and love the Hart family. Each story can be read alone is is artfully written.

[Jenni Bearden · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’m continuing to enjoy this series, I’m glad that I gave it another chance after the first one. There are still plot holes, and the writing is pretty simplistic, but it’s a fun, easy read. Three stars.

[Moni · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is the first book of the author's that I've read & I definitely want to read the other books in the series. Although this is book 3 in the series, you don't have the others first before reading this one. The synopsis tells you exactly what to expect. It's a great wholesome third person dual pov romance with two main characters that you'll love.

Diane comes from a wealthy family but she wasn't happy living the life that was planned out for her so she left it behind to do what truly makes her happy - training horses. Although her fellow workers see her as a rich girl passing the time, she doesn't let that affect her too much & continues to dress & act the way that she does. She's a good worker & has a strong mind. She knows what she wants & thinks about the best possible way to achieve it. I particularly liked how she wanted to protect herself from her feelings for Beau yet she knew that she couldn't deny him so she wasn't going to make herself miserable by pretending otherwise.

Though Beau has a good relationship with his family & loved where he grew up, his desire for adventure lead him to become a bull rider. He's passionate, & stubborn, about it. Being injured leaves him restless & feeling useless. When he meets Diane, he gets back some spark in his life - especially because he was warned away from her & his rebellious nature won't let those warnings keep him away from her. Although he's stubborn & rebellious, he's self aware & isn't overbearing or unlikable. Even if you do agree with what his family members tell him, you feel for Beau as he thinks about wanting to return to do what he loves. What I liked about him is how he admired Diane & started to consider what she could mean to his life.

Beau & Diane's attraction towards each other is instant but I like the way it took time for them to start dating. Part of the reason why was because of Diane being hesitant to get involved with him, for good reasons, & I'll admit that it was a bit fun to see Beau question himself yet not give up on pursuing her. Aside from their romance, I really liked Beau's relationship with his family. They all cared for him & helped him to see things about his life differently. Of course Beau & Diane had conflict being his bull riding career & her family pressuring her to return home but that's part of what made the story good. Readers, especially fans of sweet cowboy romances, will definitely enjoy it!
