Review: Winter of Mustang Ridge – Jesse Hayworth

The Skye family rebel never wanted to be a cowgirl … and she sure didn’t plan on coming home for good.

Grateful to her twin for keeping Mustang Ridge in the family, Jenny Skye agrees to return home for a month so her sister can get away. It’s the middle of winter, and only a few year-round staffers, her family, and the animals will be there. But the globe-trotting videographer is soon in way over her head at the dude ranch dealing with reservations, her redecorating-obsessed mother, and the town’s hunky new veterinarian.

Despite his adventurous past, Nick Masterson is putting down roots in Mustang Ridge. When a stray dog, a missing family member and a snowstorm conspire to throw him and Jenny together, there’s no denying the blaze of attraction. But can a relationship that began in the heat of the moment turn into something more for a woman who’s always been eager to put her hometown behind her?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Jenny is home to help out with the family’s dude ranch while her twin sister, Krista is away for six weeks taking classes to help make the ranch more successful. Since Jenny is on hiatus from her job, camera crew for a reality TV show, she agrees to come home.

Jenny meets the new vet when she finds an injured dog at the end of the driveway and rushes him over to the clinic. Nick, looking like a young Harrison Ford, fixes up the dog and catches Jenny’s eye. The attraction is quite mutual. Can this landlocked vet hold the heart of the worldly traveler Jenny, or will history repeat itself for Nick and leave them both heartbroken?

The characters were funny, especially Ruth! Reading about this older lady talking about “sexting” had me laughing out loud! Nick and Jenny had great chemistry and a cute romance. I absolutely loved Rex, the injured dog; he totally had me crying at the end. I enjoyed this family-oriented, heart-warming read.
