SURRENDERING TO HUNT is Jennifer Ryan's second book in the Wyoming Wildes series which is a spinoff from the Wild Rose Ranch series. In the first book, we met recovering addict, Chase, and his baby momma, Shelby. This book spotlights Chase's brother, Hunt, who is a cowboy turned cop and wild child hairdresser, Cyn, who is best friends with Shelby. Cyn and Hunt know each other since Hunt regularly gives out speeding tickets to Cyn, but the catalyst for their personal interaction is police incidents with Cyn's sister and her boyfriend. The boyfriend also happens to be Hunt's childhood best friend. Warning: the book contains graphic and disturbing portrayals of domestic violence.
Although the storyline includes some suspense that is interesting and enjoyable, I felt the characters jumped from adversarial acquaintances to planning their forever HEA way too quickly. However, SURRENDERING TO HUNT is a sweet read that gives plenty of page time to other characters from the series. Looking forward to reading the book that focuses on the third brother, Max.
New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ryan returns to the Wyoming Wilde series as a by-the-book lawman tangles with a stubborn young woman. Perfect for fans of authors like Maisey Yates, Joanne Kennedy and Carolyn Brown as well as Diana Palmer, Linda Lael Miller, and BJ Daniels.
They’re tough, tenacious, and sometimes tormented; they’re the Wildes of Wyoming, three brothers whose family ties are as strong as their wills.
The last thing lawman Hunt Wilde ever dreamed he’d do was fall hard for a purple-haired troublemaker like Cyn, who seems to be on the wrong side of everything. After all, Hunt Wilde believes in law and order, while Cyn is somehow mixed up with a criminal like Rad…the man who was once Hunt’s best friend and who is now his sworn enemy.
Then Hunt discovers Cyn held hostage during a raid on Rad’s hideaway, making him question where her loyalties actually lie. But Cyn knows she needs to hide her true motivations, or she’ll never be able to exact revenge on the man who took her sister’s life and turned her own existence upside down.
Still, neither can deny the overpowering attraction simmering between them, or the way fate keeps throwing them together. And when Hunt discovers the truth, revealing her secrets and putting her life in danger, Hunt becomes ever-more determined to take down the man who would take Cyn out of Hunt’s life forever.
