When Harper Tate's grandmother left her the deed to Wild Horse Ranch, the last thing she expected was to inherit five sexy cowboys along with it. As a professional in the real estate world, she makes a living by finding cheap houses and flipping them for a nice profit. That was exactly what she plans to do with the ranch once she fixes it up, but the men have other plans for her. Gabe Bailey, Logan Collins, Nick Montgomery, Aaron Harnett, and Cooper Dalton all grew up in the foster care system. Each of the men came to Wild Horse Ranch broken and battered. After landing a job and a place to stay, they've worked to rebuild their life, but finding a woman to come home to at night still remains a top priority. The longer Harper stays on the ranch the more trouble she finds. Her father doesn't want her to keep it. Someone is stealing money from them. And the five men have her heart tangled and knotted in confusion. She can't resist them. The more she wants to say no, the more she finds herself begging. Can this businesswoman find a way to fix her problems and get the men of her dreams?

When Harper’s grandmother passes away she unexpectedly inherits her ranch and the five hunky cowboys on it. When I first read this blurb, I was intrigued by this book and the possibilities, but here is what I found.
There was a consistency issue that I feel I must address. At times, the sex scenes were rushed and had an almost mechanical feel to them. Whereas at other times it was incredibly hot and steamy. What could have been sexy at times just seemed more rushed than anything else.
As I saw it, there was also one very big issue that is hinted at but never addressed. The missing money and the nephew stealing equipment from the ranch are never really addressed. If feels as if the author had great intentions. She saw an opportunity to add a bit more drama to the story and took it. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the execution. It was mentioned then that was it… nothing else. Nothing was done about it and other than in passing, nothing was ever mentioned about it again.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read. I’m not sure if I would ever reread this particular story, but I would be interested in checking out this author’s other books. She shows a great deal of promise and I would love to see where she takes it.
