<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nNo smooth-talking man is going to outwit her!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n With the deed to her land and kid brother to protect, Mustanger Skylar Daines\u00a0shouldn’t have tangled with the likes of Tucker Morgan. His stolen kiss scatters her senses, and quicker than a whirling dust devil, they’re wed!<\/strong><\/p>\n What had started as a joke is now Tucker’s worst nightmare. He’s keen to fix the marital slip-up–then he tells Skylar the deed she holds belongs to him, and him alone. <\/strong><\/p>\n Perhaps Skylar shouldn’t be so fast to have their marriage annulled. She’s not about to be swindled out of the one thing she yearns for most–a home.<\/strong><\/p>\n First they’ll have to beat her father’s murderer to Wyoming. Hearing the killer is after his ranch, Tucker teams up with a woman who has no trouble taking control of his mustangs–or his desire.<\/strong><\/p>\n KIRSTEN’S THOUGHTS:<\/strong>\u00a0 MUSTANG WILD is fun, intense, sensual, and just plain entertaining. Stacey Kayne takes you right on the trail herding mustangs in the Old West with villains and nature plotting against Skylar and Tucker at every turn and their siblings not doing a whole lot to help out the situation (other than adding humor for the reader and grief to Skylar and Tucker).<\/p>\n Skylar is such a great heroine. She\u2019s tough, determined, honorable and her desire to settle down and provide a home for her and her brother will hit you in the heart. I love how she proves her skill training mustangs to Tucker, and she doesn\u2019t rub it in how good she is, she just does her job and does it better than most. It was tender to watch her shift from tough cowgirl to tender mother figure for her brother and soft woman with Tucker (when she didn\u2019t want to shoot him).<\/p>\n Tucker is so charming it should be illegal, and although his natural instinct is to protect Skylar he respects her skills and comes to admire her for more than just her talent with horses. He\u2019s a bit of the irresponsible brother, but once he sets his mind to making Skylar his hold onto your hats he\u2019s all business and determined to win. Readers will be as helpless as Skylar to resist all that charisma when this devastatingly good looking cowboy turns it on.<\/p>\n The trail to Wyoming in dangerous, but the real danger is these two stubborn people losing their hearts!<\/p>\n Cora Mae Tindale isn\u2019t looking to stir up trouble\u2014she just needs a safe place to hide while she plans out her future. Having escaped the marriage trap set by her conniving mother, she\u2019s arrived in the wilds of Wyoming searching for the stepbrother who promised to always protect her. She hadn\u2019t counted on the boy from her childhood becoming a war-hardened rancher with heart-stopping looks that could tempt a saint.<\/strong><\/p>\n Plagued by horse thieves and marriage-minded females, the last thing Chance Morgan needs is a woman on his ranch. But Cora Mae is more than just a pretty face\u2014she\u2019s part of his past; a reminder of the guilt and broken promises he\u2019s spent too many years trying to forget. A distracting array of curls and curves, she hardly resembles the mischievous spitfire from his youth, but her eyes hold the shadows of a painful past, and a passion she struggles to conceal. Cora Mae\u2019s indifference entices Chance in a way that blatant flirtation never could. He yearns to discover the truth she hides, but will uncovering her secrets expose his own?<\/strong><\/p>\n KIRSTEN’S THOUGHTS:<\/strong> Chance is a tough, gruff, stubborn cowboy who values his independence above everything, so you know he\u2019s going to fall hard for sweet Cora Mae. He might growl around a bit, but moments with his nephew, Skylar and Cora Mae give us a look at the real man who\u2019s loyal to a fault and sweet when he needs to be.<\/p>\n Cora Mae can\u2019t out ride most men, like Skylar, and she can\u2019t out shoot and out survive most anyone, like Maggie. But she has just the right kind of grit to escape her mother and track her stepbrother to the wilds of Wyoming. And since Chance needs all the sweetness and gentleness he can get Cora Mae is the perfect match for him. But don\u2019t worry, she\u2019s no pushover and has no problem telling him exactly where he can ride his horse when he needs a good slap on the back of the head, too.<\/p>\n MAVERICK WILD keeps the fun and romance going that Tucker and Skylar started in MUSTANG WILD, but adds a new suspense as Chance and Cora Mae face cattle thieves, a manipulative mother\/stepmother and a cunning widow. These two have their work cut out for each other as they find their way back to where they belong\u2026with each other.<\/p>\n In the midst of a range war, Garret Daines is dead-set on keeping his ranch from\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 greedy local cattle barons. An attempt on his life during a winter <\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>storm lands h<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>im in the healing hands of a mountain recluse. He can hardly believe the youthful beauty he discovers hidden beneath her mountain woman attire or the passion unleashed by her tender touch<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n When “Mad Mag” pulls the handsome rancher from the snow she has no idea he’ll be the man to thaw her wounded heart. But Maggie is hiding a mess of secrets in her mountain sanctuary, none of which she\u2019s willing to share. Murderous cattlemen threaten their fragile bond and Maggie has\u00a0\u00a0 to face the fears of her past or risk losing her hope for the future. Garret will defend his wild woman at any cost, but can he convince her their love is worth the risk?<\/strong><\/p>\n KIRSTEN’S THOUGHTS:\u00a0<\/strong> I know I shouldn\u2019t play favorites in the series, but doggonit it\u2019s my blog! MOUNTAIN WILD melted me like butter.\u00a0 In fact, I\u2019ll go one better, Garret and Maggie are still two of my favorite characters ever.<\/p>\n When we first meet Garret he\u2019s Skylar\u2019s cocky little brother, but even then he\u2019s a charmer. And whoa doggies, when brother grows up he grows up in all the right ways. He\u2019s strong and steady and so sweet and funny you can\u2019t help but love him. His determination to make his own way and earn the respect of his family keeps you pulling for him. Unlike Tucker and Chance, Garret wants love, marriage, family (and has since MAVERICK WILD) and it made him a stronger hero for desiring those things and fighting to show Maggie how much better they were together.<\/p>\n Maggie just touched my heart from the start, even under all her animal skins and floppy hat. I already liked this character from MAVERICK WILD, but the more you get to know her the more you see how wounded and desperate she is for tenderness and sweetness (things Garret excels at), and how much she would like to be a part of Garret\u2019s world, but fears giving up her freedom and the rejection she might face. It doesn\u2019t take long, for the reader or Garret, to see her mountain shrew act, is just that, a show to protect her heart.<\/p>\n Like MUSTANG WILD and MAVERICK WILD, MOUNTAIN WILD has enough suspense and action to keep you enthralled, but at the end it\u2019s the romantic tension that will keep you turning pages and then cursing yourself for reading it too fast.<\/p>\n Seriously folks, this is a must read series. Tucker, Skylar, Chance, Cora Mae, Garret, and Maggie will capture your heart. With each book you\u2019ll change your mind about who your favorite cowboy is and then change it back again depending on who\u2019s talking. I have rarely read a book where the heroine didn\u2019t at some point annoy me, or I wished the cowboy would ride off into the sunset alone. Well, with the Wild Series I found three women who I cheered for all the way and was ecstatic when they lassoed their man. And Stacey Kayne does a magnificent job of giving each character a very distinct and real voice. Once you meet her people, she could remove all tags and a reader would know without hesitation who is speaking, or acting a certain way.<\/p>\n Stacey Kayne masterfully pulls together people and places so you almost feel like the gang is welcoming into their home and personally sharing their love stories. When you\u2019re done reading you\u2019ll be surprised you haven\u2019t been in Wyoming sitting before a roaring fire and chatting with the Morgans and Daineses. This is a \u201cput high on the keeper shelf\u201d series \u2018cause you will want to visit this clan over and over.<\/p>\n MUSTANG WILD (AMAZON)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MAVERICK WILD (AMAZON)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 MOUNTAIN WILD (AMAZON)<\/a><\/p>\n MUSTANG WILD (NOOK)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MAVERICK WILD (NOOK)<\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re begging for more Stacey Kayne after you\u2019ve read the Wild series, and you will be, here are two more fabulous stories filled with heart stopping cowboys and their brave women worthy of their own feature, but hey I\u2019ve got chores.<\/p>\n WHOO-EEE!!
