Haven River Ranch #1

Audible audiobook 

Author: Devney Perry

Narrators: Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais

For years, Indya Keller spent a week in Montana in the summer. It’s always been her father’s favorite spot. On their first trip there, she meets West, the owner’s son. He was her constant companion on those trips – from playing poker, to making paper airplanes to having a great time. She was 16 when he first kissed her. She was 23 when life tore them apart. She vowed never to return. Until she does…. as the new owner of the ranch. 

West is completely blindsided by the sale of the ranch and he’s stunned when finds out who the new owner is – Indya. He can’t believe she’s there. Now, they’ll have to work side by side to bring the resort back into shape. Old unresolved feelings resurface. Things that were left unsaid are finally out in the open. He can’t figure out why she’s back, but he sure as hell will find a way to make her stay.

OMG, I loved this one! I was intrigued by the story from the beginning. I loved how we learn how they fell in love from the back and forth in the timeline. 

I was deeply touched by Indya’s relationship with her father. Every time she calls him my heart broke a little (for reasons). Indya is a quiet, kind of subdued heroine who is capable of the most incredible “grand gestures” that she knows she’ll never get credit for. West is your quintessential Montana cowboy who doesn’t know what to do with his feelings for the “summer girl”. 

I loved it!

Beautifully narrated in dual style by Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais. Samantha gives us a wonderful Indya from 8 years old to present day. Connor is equally amazing, bringing us the cowboy who’s blindsided by life and can’t believe his bad luck has turned into the best luck. Lovely lovely lovely!

Content notes: secondary character has cancer. Mentions of cheating (not MCs), child abandonment and complicated relationship with a parental figure.
