Release Day Blitz! Heartbreak Ranch by Anastasia Ryan





Heartbreak Ranch by Anastasia RyanGenre: New Adult (Contemporary Romance) 18+
Date Published: October 15, 2013
Publisher: Swoon Romance

The Blurb:
Recent college graduate, Graysen Beaufort, resigns herself to two weeks of boredom at a dude ranch honoring her parents’ wishes for one last family vacation.

She doesn't plan on meeting Colt McCord, an irresistible cowboy who threatens to bring disorder to Graysen's ordinarily ordered life.

Dodging an overprotective family, an unwelcome suitor, and certain heartbreak, Graysen struggles to break free of her limitations and submit her heart to Colt’s love. But learning to let go isn't easy, even with a man like Colt.

Colt McCord, White Pine Ranch’s head horse trainer, loves the busy, back-breaking work of a cattle ranch.

But when he meets a beautiful and spirited woman from Iowa, she makes him forget everything he'd known before, and he risks everything to be with her.

Colt is accustomed to breaking horses, but can he tame Graysen’s wild heart before it is too late?

My Review:
Heartbreak Ranch is the debut novel by Anastasia Ryan. I'm a big fan of romances that take place at dude ranches, farms, or pretty much anywhere around horses so, I was up for reading this one right away. I never understand how the characters could dread going to a ranch for a vacation like Graysen does, but at least she comes around. Aside from her farm life issues, she's a pretty fun and adventurous character. The pressure her family put her under bothered me quite a bit, especially her brother, but you later learn he has his reasons. The author wrote Colt's character in such a way that he was very easy to visualize. and it wasn't a bad visual I might add. Graysen and Colt are comfortable with each other pretty quick. The overall romance happens very quickly actually, and they have their naughty moments. Heartbreak Ranch was a quick read and didn't really surprise me at any point. Heartbreak Ranch was comfortably predictable with many cute moments, which makes for an easy escape.

Heartbreak Ranch by Anastasia Ryan was provided to me by YA Bound for review. The opinions are my own.
