Über diesen Titel

In this steamy, age-gap, forbidden-love cowboy romance for fans of Lyla Sage, Bailey Hannah, and Elsie Silver, a free spirit finds herself working for a former pro bull rider...who has secrets behind those ocean-deep eyes.

Being hired by a ranch for the summer sounds picture-perfect, right? Except your new boss looks a whole lot like every fantasy and daydream you've ever had come to life—oh, and he's already accidentally seen your favorite "toy."

I've always been the hyper-independent free spirit. Sage Maloney, the wild child. The eldest daughter, with my heart locked away safely out of sight. I had a summer of fun ahead of me.

Only, I didn't count on a former pro bull rider to stride into my life. Beau Heartford. The much older cowboy with a mustache to go weak at the knees for.

He's a whole package of temptation. Someone who lures me in with glimpses of what it might be like to let my guard down, to be taken care of.

My married boss.

Summer days rapidly turn scorching in this sleepy little town among the mountains. As the temperature continues to climb, we're both stuck fighting a mutual attraction we can't ignore.

Sparks fly, and we really should be putting more distance between the two of us. In this scenario, more is at stake than just crossing a line between boss and employee. There's a wedding band on this cowboy's finger.

Taming the Heart is book three in the Crimson Ridge series of interconnected standalones. It can be listened to on its own. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

The third installment in Elliot Rose’s beautifully written mountain cowboy series delivers yet another heartfelt, slow-burn age gap romance—this time between Beau, a retired bull rider turned ranch owner, and Sage, a confident and refreshingly bold PR expert.

Their first encounter is a brief but memorable sidewalk meet-cute, filled with spark and chemistry, though it ends just as quickly. Months later, fate steps in when Sage is hired to lead the PR campaign for Beau’s new ranch—and ends up staying for the summer. Cue: forced proximity at its finest.

Beau is such a wonderful main character. With his background as a rodeo star, you’d expect a cocky playboy—but he is anything but. Reserved, patient, and emotionally grounded, he’s stuck in a cold, publicity-based marriage and counting down the days until his divorce is finalized. His hands are tied—until Sage, who isn’t afraid to speak her mind or shamelessly flirt, pushes the limits of his self-control. Their dynamic flips the usual power balance, with her being the more experienced one in the spice department, which was a fun and refreshing twist.

I absolutely adored Beau’s character—his restraint, protectiveness, and quiet longing made the payoff so satisfying. The slow burn here is full of tension, tenderness, and just the right amount of heat.

As for the narration… well, by now, it’s hard to ignore the ongoing pacing issue. Gabriel Spires and Amy Hall both sound great and suit the characters well, but their speaking speeds are frustratingly mismatched. I found myself speeding up his narration to 1.35x and slowing hers down just to balance things out. It’s the third book with the same issue—and I wish someone on the production side would finally address it.

Still, the story itself more than makes up for the technical flaws.
