Wild Texas Wind
All Raz Colt wants is land, a quiet peaceable existence and to put his life as a hired gun in the past. When the chance to earn a sizable fortune by rescuing a kidnapped heiress comes his way, he seizes the opportunity. Trouble is, the heiress doesn’t want to be rescued. Offsetting Arden O’Hara’s beauty is a rattlesnake personality and shrewish temper. Despite her claim that she faked the kidnapping so her fiancé would ride to her rescue, Raz knows someone is out to kill her. And if anyone gets the pleasure of wringing her lovely neck, it’s going to be him.
Arden O’Hara is desperate to go home. Her fiancé was supposed to ride to her rescue, proving it’s her–and not her father’s money– he loves. Instead an arrogant stranger, with weapons strapped gun-fighter low and a decided lack of sympathy for her situation, shows up spouting a ridiculous tale about someone trying to kill her. It’s infuriating when Raz Colt’s claims prove true after not one but several attempts are made on her life. She has no idea who this fast gun with the deadly aim is, or why he makes her feel as wild and untamed as the Texas wind. But like it or not, if anyone is capable of getting her home alive, it’s Raz Colt.

She has been married to Peter, her best friend, for 22 years and together they have raised two amazing sons.

Why have I not read anything by Nicole McCaffrey before? I received the Audible version of WILD TEXAS WIND from a friend of the author who knows I love these Western Romance books, with the hope that I might provide a review, whether good, bad or indifferent. First, let me tell you that all thoughts, ratings and opinions are my own. As it is, I absolutely loved it! So much so that I totally ignored my husband all day as I walked around the house with ear buds stuck in my ears because I didn't want to stop listening for even a minute. Fabulous narrator! Dawson McBride has that deep husky voice that is so "wild west", and he even manages to do the female voices with flare.
Those of you who have read my reviews before know that I love romantic tingles. All those sexy tingles that lead up to more. Not the wham-bam stuff. Tingles. Well, this book is loaded with those romantic tingles! Great characters and an action-packed story that never got dull even for a single minute. The sparks that fly between Raz Colt and Arden sizzle and ignite! Great chemistry between these two. And even the secondary characters are fantastic. All of them!
What starts out as a way for Raz, a hired gunslinger, to raise some money to buy some land and get out of the business, turns into a rescue for an heiress who doesn't want to be rescued... until she finally realizes that someone really does want to have her killed.
This story had everything. Humor, action, romance, suspense! I loved it and can't wait to read more from this author.

This is such a fun book, I can't believe I hadn't found Nicole McCaffrey sooner! A western romance full of suspense, a protective alpha male and just a delight to listen to. Arden is a 21 year old who disappears. Hired by her father, Raz Colt is commissioned to bring her back home, safely and still innocent. This task is much more than Colt has signed up for. This spirited woman is a handful, and he is smitten. And so is she! But despite the circumstances Arden thought were in place, things are dangerous. This story takes some unexpected twists and turns, has incredibly fun and witty banter, and a burning romance to make your heart warm. It's everything I love in a story and hope to see more out by Nicole soon!
When I see western romance, I always hope it's narrated by Dawson McBride! He brings this one to life with his slow, smooth drawl and gives it the edge it needs. Each voice is distinguished, he uses accents and it's an amazing listen.

**I received a free copy of this audiobook for an honest review**
This was my first novel by Nicole McCaffrey and it was really good. The novel is about an heiress who sets herself up to be kidnapped but is truly kidnapped with people after her to kill her. Razz is hired by her father to bring her back yet she doesn't believe she is in any danger until like halfway through the book. She is also a brat throughout the majority of the book but it says to the talent of the author that I actually liked the heroine at the end of the novel. I highly suggest this as your next historical western read.
