Review Tour: Cowboys of Devil's Ditch by Vanessa Vale

 
Cowboys of Devil's Ditch by Vanessa Vale is live!
 
The West just got Wilder! Meet the cowboys of Devil’s Ditch, Montana, one steamy, instalove story at a time.

This paperback volume includes Trig, Colt and Bray.

TRIG:
I’m a rodeo champ. I live for the eight second rush astride an angry bull. But now I live for her. The One I save from a Montana blizzard.
Stranded together, I make her mine.
When danger arrives on my front porch, I protect what’s mine.
But how do I protect the woman I love if I don’t know who she really is?

COLT:
She’s The One. The one who got away.
After a steamy encounter at the rodeo, I thought I’d never see her again. I’ve been given a second chance when I discover she’s the new doctor in town. I do everything I can to make her mine, but she resists. It makes no sense, until I learn the truth of her past. I won’t let her escape again, even if I have to handcuff her to my bed.

BRAY:
I’ve known her for years… but it’s time to make her mine. My little sister’s best friend needs my help, to be her fake boyfriend.
Fake? Nothing’s fake with her. She feels it, too, but can’t understand why I finally want her after all this time. I’d take the time to prove it, but someone’s out to hurt her. That means she’s mine now whether she likes it or not.

These short reads are MF with a guaranteed spicy HEA. While they are standalone, it’s best to read them in order.

My thoughts: 

This volume of  Cowboys of Devil's Ditch contains the first three novellas in the series. Each one features a member of the large Wilder family who meet their loves and fall instantly.  They are all insta-love, very quick romances with happy endings.  They all also contain very spicy content.  

While I enjoyed each couple, my favorite out of the three was Bray's story.  Bray and Katie have known each other for a long time so I felt like their story was less insta-lovey.  It was more like Bray finally saw what was right in front of him all along.  If you are a fan of insta love stories with alpha males who take care of their women, I highly recommend this series.

Blog Tour: Review of Man Scape by Vanessa Vale

 

In Hunter Valley, it's open season on men.
 
Man Scape by Vanessa Vale is now live! 
 
Don't date your son's ex.
Especially when she's supposedly the town's good girl. But the sweet, shy librarian isn't a good girl at all.
She can't be, because she wants me—the local lumberjack, and my...wood.
I'm her ex's dad but she says she doesn't want guys her age. Or a relationship.
She wants a fling. And since I'm leaving Hunter Valley in a few days, I'll definitely indulge her.
We'll have fun while it lasts and then she'll go back to fooling the town and I'll just go.
Right?
In Hunter Valley, it's always open season on men. Will the biggest one in town be the easiest to catch?

My thoughts:

Man Scape is the fifth book in the "On a Man Hunt" series.  This one is Daniel and Melly's story.  This worked very well as a stand alone book.  I didn't feel lost.  Ultimately, I did enjoy Daniel and Melly together.  I just wish they had spent more time outside of the bedroom.  Those scenes were a bit over the top for my taste, but that is a me thing.  I loved the interactions between Daniel and his brothers.  Their banter was really funny.  This is an age gap romance which I didn't mind. My other issue is that it only happens over a few days and had a HFN ending.  I wish the timeframe was a little longer.  I do recommend this one and am interested in reading others in the series.

Blog Tour: Fight For Her by Vanessa Vale

Author: Vanessa Vale

Publisher: Bridger Media

Date of publication: March 2017

(previously released as Naked Choke)

A fighter ready to give up the gloves.

A woman ready to take on the world.

Grayson Green’s an MMA champion who's spent years in the limelight where fast times and fast women were easy to come by. The appeal is gone and he steps out of the ring to make some changes and get control of his life. All the training in the world can’t save him from the one-two punch of meeting Emory. She’s different. She has no idea who he is…and she wants him anyway. When someone from his past is prepared to take him down... and Emory along with him, he'll do anything to fight for her...

Fight For Her wasn't what I was expecting it to be.  I have read a lot of MMA series, so I thought I would get the same old story-line.  I was pleasantly surprised with this one.  I thought it was really sweet and different. 

What I really loved about this book is that the two main characters are a bit older than you usually see.  Emory is 38 divorcee with a son who has just left for college.  She's been out of the dating scene for a long time.  Grayson is a retired MMA champion who has never found "the one".  For both of them, the attraction was instant.  I just loved that these two were in the "next" phase of their lives and found a wonderful HEA.  I also really enjoyed the slow build to their first kiss.  I think that is what really added to the sweetness factor of the story.  There is also a little bit of a mystery just to make the story more interesting.

My only complaint about the story is that it takes place over about a week, so the professions of love come a bit fast.  I would have liked it to be a bit longer but since the next book is about Reid, I'm hoping I get to see more of Emory and Gray in the next book.  This is a great first book in a series.  I highly recommend it.

About the Author:

Who doesn't love the romance of the old West? USA Today Bestselling author Vanessa Vale takes the sensual appeal of rugged cowboys a step further with her bestselling books set in the Montana Territory. They are much more than just sexy historical westerns. They're deliciously naughty reads that sometimes push the boundaries of fantasy. It's pure escapism with quite a few very hot, very alpha cowboys. When she's not writing, Vanessa savors the insanity of raising two boys, is figuring out how many meals she can make with a pressure cooker, and teaches a pretty mean karate class. She considers herself to be remarkably normal, exceedingly introverted and fairly vanilla, which does not explain her steamy stories and her fascination with cowboys, preferably more than one at a time. She lives in the Wild Wild West where there's an endless source of 'research' material.
