adventurous challenging dark emotional reflective tense medium-paced

4.5

Barbed Wire Hearts was my first cowboy romance in years and I only wanted to read it because Kendra Moreno was writing it. You know when you have an author that has a writing style that just grabs you? And let me tell you, I wasn’t disappointed. The storytelling is excellent, and the spice was HOT! 
Barbed Wire Hearts follows Kate, Wiley, Dakota and Levi. Kate has to leave her home because her dumpster fire of an ex told a mob boss that she could repay all the money he owes. But the mob boss will gladly take her if she can’t pay up. So Kate packs up her car and her best buddy, William Shakespurr, and hits the road. She finds herself in a town states away and meets a very handsome Wiley who is placing flyers looking for workers. She decides to give it a go, and Dakota can’t turn away the help. The 3 cowboys enjoy watching the city girl learn the ways of the ranch. I absolutely loved watching how her relationship grew with each of the guys individually as well as together. And each of the boys has a dark past ( yummy). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I really hope this turns in to a duet or a series because who doesn’t want to save a horse and ride a cowboy or three. Yeehaw!
