About this listen
A sexy sports superstar discovers his body isn't the only thing that needs healing in this newest Stardust, Texas novel from New York Times best-selling author Lori Wilde.
With major league good looks and talent, Dallas Gunslingers relief pitcher Axel Richmond was living the good life. Even if the roar of the crowd could never distract him from the loss of his young son. But now, with an injured shoulder and his career on the line, Axel is stuck recuperating at a ranch in Stardust, Texas...striking out only with his gorgeous physical therapist.
Kasha Carlyle has one week to get Axel back in action, or she can kiss her much-needed job with the Gunslingers good-bye. And any chance to seek custody of the orphaned half sister she never knew existed. She quickly learns that Axel's guarded heart also needs healing...requiring all kinds of sneaky plays and sexy moves in extra innings.

Story
Sadie Miller isn't expecting any welcome-home parades on her return to Copper Ridge. Least of all from part-time rancher, full-time lawman Eli Garrett. The straitlaced, impossibly hot deputy sheriff glares at her as if she's the same teenage hoodlum who fled town 10 years ago. But running from her demons has brought Sadie full circle, ready to make a commitment at last. Not to a man but to a bed-and-breakfast. On Garrett land. Okay, so her plan has a tiny flaw.

Story
Maybe Dolan has lived independent, free-spirited and unattached since leaving home at 16. Whiskey Sharp, Seattle's sexy vintage-styled barbershop and whiskey bar, gave her a job - and a reason to put down roots. Cutting hair by day, losing herself drumming in a punk rock band by night, she's got it good. But a longtime crush that turns into a hot, edgy night with brooding and bearded Alexsei Petrov makes it a hell of a lot better. Maybe's blunt attitude and carnal smile hooked Alexsei from the start. Protecting people is part of his nature.

It was okay but boring
This is a book I wouldn't think about when I'm going about my day and remember a scene or line that would make me pull it back up and listen. The story was not bad and narration was good but it was boring. She took the whole book, "I want him but I have to fight it, no matter what ". There was no real climax, no crescendo. I was disappointed. There were real life issues and situations, yes but the story, for me, did not come together in any meaningful way.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
