  First Impressions

I have dearly loved this author and she is one of my top favorites when it comes to contemporary westerns. She mixes a combination of heart and sexy into her stories and they always work for me and I have been wanting to get to her backlisted books, and this one is part of one of her first series. I think I have had Saved by the Rancher on my wishlist for years, almost a decade now. I picked this one up on a whim, as I saw it available in audio on my libby app and I am so happy I grabbed this one. I was instantly hooked and I was able to listen to this one in less than a day. That is not my norm for audiobooks unless I am really into it. Jennifer Ryan worked her magic here and there is such a beautiful blend of endearing characters and heart in the romance. The familial connections were great and the heroine is a badass when its needed. The hero is a protector and will do anything for his girl and the plot was on point! You definitely won’t go wrong if you enjoy reading contemporary westerns with a mix of suspense in the blend.

  What I Loved

Saved by the Rancher was such a breathtaking story and I adored every single moment. I just couldn’t put this audiobook down at all. It was such an endearing read and I just love the whole caretaking trope that is such a major element within the story. I was drawn to Jack and Jenna so fiercely. I really admired Jenna, while she has been abused and terrorized and we see the moments of the effect that can have on a person mentally, we also see such strength and playfulness in her character. Jenna hasn’t allowed her ex to break her spirit. She has such a generous spirit and can be a badass businesswoman when needed. She is smart, sassy, and sweet. Jack is a hero that is the perfect match. Jack served in the military but his days of being a medic still haunt him. He lives and breathes his quiet ranch life and hasn’t had an interest in a woman in years until he meets Jenna. She is like a breath of fresh air. The plot of the story is guaranteed to keep you on edge, I really enjoyed the way the plot developed, and seeing the way it kept me on my toes. The side characters were so endearing and I was so drawn into their lives and this story easily sweeps in and captivates your attention from the first chapter.


  What I Struggled With

Nothing!


  The Narration

I really had a fun time with the narration, I felt like the narrator did a superb job in captivating the various degrees of emotion and also keeping up with the level of intensity as the plot was built up.


  Overall View

Saved by the Rancher is a superb read that captures the beautiful intensity that is Jennifer Ryan. It’s a romance of thrilling edges, enduring characters, and a love that will leave you breathless!
