Wild Horses Couldn't Drag Him Away From Her

Raised beneath the big Montana sky, Matt Malloy was never meant to be a jet-setting businessman. But he'll do anything to protect the family ranch he shares with his brothers. Coming home after a two-week trip to Italy, Matt wants nothing more than to shed his suit and tie for a well-worn pair of jeans and ride his horse up to the cabin for some alone time. The last thing he needs is a big-city lawyer invading his privacy-even if she is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen . . .

Vanessa Kettering has devoted her life to her work. As a passionate animal rights defender, she doesn't have room for anything else. But from the moment she meets Matt, she's taken with this rugged cowboy's lazy smile and tender touch. When a raging storm traps them inside his cabin for the night, one steamy kiss leads to another, sweeping them away with a force that's as wild and untamed as the land he loves. But when the morning light comes, will she lose her heart?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ryan has created a gripping love story fraught with danger and lust, pain and sweet, sweet triumph."―Library Journal starred review on Matt

"Ryan, aka author Ruth Ryan Langan, takes it to the next level in the first book of her new Malloys of Montana series...Fans know that hot Montana men are Ryan/Langan's specialty (the McCords series, anyone?), so get cozy in your favorite reading nook and enjoy! "―B&N Reads Blog on Matt

"The beguiling first novel in the Malloys of Montana contemporary series from Ryan (a pen name for Ruth Ryan Langan) depicts the lure of the mountains as a Chicago lawyer falls for a handsome rancher...Touching and romantic, Ryan's portrayal of a city slicker falling for a cowboy delves into the depths of each of their personalities to find common ground in their love for the land. Readers will eagerly anticipate future installments."―Publishers Weekly on Matt

"4 stars!!! With tough, sex cowboys set against the beautiful, rural landscape of Montana, Ryan's latest is a must-read."
―RT Book Review on Matt

"Rich, layered, vulnerable characters...coupled with strong chemistry and intense heat between them, proves Ryan does the contemporary Western love story well."
--RT Book Reviews on The Legacy of Copper Creek

"This book is a winner. Ryan writes with a realism that brings readers deep into the world she's created. The characters all have an authenticity that touches the heart."
--RT Book Reviews on The Rebel of Copper Creek

"Ryan's storytelling is tinged with warmth and down-to-earth grit. Her authentic, distinctive characters will get to the heart of any reader. With a sweet plot infused with family love, a fiery romance and a bit of mystery, Ryan does not disappoint."
--RT Book Reviews on The Maverick of Copper Creek

"There's plenty of hot cowboys, action, and romance in this heady mix of a series that will leave you breathless."
--Parkersburg News and Sentinel on Josh

"Engaging...Ryan paints a picturesque image of the rugged landscape and the boisterous, loving, close-knit Conway family."
--Publishers Weekly on Quinn

"These not-to-be-missed books are guaranteed to warm your heart!"
--Fresh FictionMontana Glory by R.C. Ryan --> on Montana Glory

"Found love, lost treasure and ever-present danger. R.C. Ryan delivers it all with page-turning romance."

Matt

I can't get over how great these stories are! Matt and Vanessa meet when she flies out to talk to Grams about the wild horses. Then she ends up staying there because her life has been threatened by the man her D.A. father in Chicago is trying to convict. This puts the two of them together slot and let's face it, a gorgeous woman and a hot cowboy being forced to spend time together can only lead to one thing .

This story has a good romance, intrigue and danger. Definitely a story I recommend reading. Now to move on to the next one.

Ok, but very programed ,a little change in the script would be a welcome change. While the story is good it reads very much like her other books. Change name and danger but all the rest is the same.
