BOOKWORM REVIEW: Braved by Greta Rose West

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
STEAM: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯.5

If I could be any character in the Cade Ranch series, I would say without hesitation that I am a Billie. Mostly because she is one sassy and smart lady, but also I get a Jay as a bonus and that's not a bad deal.

Jay just needs a break from the ranch. He feels like a fish out of water, even among his brothers, and he also feels like his business degree has not been put to good use at the ranch. When an opportunity arises to get some time on the road, especially with the curvaceous woman of his dreams, Jay jumps at the chance.

Billie has been called back to the Cade Ranch to help investigate a missing person case. As part of the search, she has to go to California, and her Cade crush Jay has volunteered to be her road trip buddy. What could possibly happen on this trip?

I love these two so much. Every time I say "this is my favorite Cade Ranch couple," Greta Rose West always levels up the next one. I love the shy flirting between the two. While Billie is definitely the blunter one in this duo, Jay complements her nicely with his sweetness. Their chemistry is absolutely sizzling.

I also enjoyed the mystery in this book. West did a great job of striking the right balance among romance, angst, spice, suspense, and action, which made for a great reading pace.

This book is the fourth in the series, but it can be read as a standalone. I have to say that this series has definitely gone quickly for me, and I am sad that I have only one more Cade brother love story to go.

ABOUT THE BOOK

A game-changing investment opportunity has fallen into the Cade brothers’ laps, and Jay Cade has the skills to take it and turn his family’s Ranch into an equine therapy destination, but what he doesn’t have is the courage to take the reins from his oldest brother, Jack.

Until Billie Acker stomps back into his life.

Billie’s beautiful, smart, and not sorry about it. Or at least, that’s what she wants everyone to believe, but the truth is that she’s alone, and she has been for a long time. A hacker by trade, she’s a master at finding people who don’t want to be found, and she’ll take any excuse to see sexy Jay Cade again.

When the Cades' millionaire investor mysteriously goes missing, Billie and Jay set out to find him, but they discover more than they thought they would on the road. They find family, friendship, and love.

But Billie has a firewall of her own to keep people at bay, and if Jay can’t find the courage to break through it, she’ll be the one disappearing...

The fourth book in The Cade Ranch Series, Braved, is a curvy, sex-fueled, road trip romance about finding courage in the most unlikely places and following it home…
