Tag Archive: Dark Horse Dive Bar Series


Tough on the outside, with a heart as big as Wyoming. Protective to the core, fairness and kindness running in blood. And when the tough have to wage a battle for love, heart and soul takes to the knees. Let’s meet the Wilde siblings running the Dark Horse Dive Bar.

Diving with “Wilde Abandon” into Jennifer Ryan’s next Wilde sibling’s love story, it is a read of pure and timeless love between Melody Wilde and Fox Bridges. A friendship that started in second grade, with fierce protectiveness and loyalty between them, Melody and Fox were inseparable as they grew into teens. The spark of innocent love remained smoldering only to ignite into flames when Fox Bridges returns to Blackrock Falls. Sixteen years of separation melt away as Melody and Fox rekindle their relationship that never ended and love for each other that never faded away.

Fox and Melody, as they work to resolve things that led to their separation and navigate their new found love, they also have to put to rest the demons of Fox’s childhood and the shadows of evil that are hell bent on separating them. A review does not do justice to “Wilde Abandon”. It should be read to feel the chemistry between Fox and Melody, enjoy the banter between them and their family, laugh at the witty dialogues and thoughts that give life to the story, and experience the foundation and support of the Wilde family.

I love how Jennifer Ryan created these Wilde siblings. Pure souls filled only with kindness and empathy, personalities with grit and hard work, characters with ethics of right and wrong, and a community that rallies around their own, Wilde siblings find their happily ever afters. 

A story I enjoyed with wild abandon!!

Purchased a paperback copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Tough on the outside, with a heart as big as Wyoming. Protective to the core, fairness and kindness running in blood. And when the tough have to wage a battle for love, heart and soul takes to the knees. Let’s meet the Wilde cousins running the  Dark Horse Dive Bar.

Jax Wilde loves his close knit family, his ranch and the Dark Horse Dive Bar that has been in the family. A cowboy to the core and grateful for what was given to him, he never realized what was missing in his life until Layla Brock stepped onto his ranch and into his life. 

Landscape artist and widowed Layla Brock is mesmerized by the vast Wyoming beauty and even more enamored by the kindhearted cowboy. As much as she’s attracted to Jax, she comes with a baggage of secrets that she intends to take to her grave. 

Two beautiful souls, hearts filled with hope and love, Jax and Layla let the spark of attraction ignite into a fire that has no intention of dying down. With Jax and his family as her protection, Layla will fight every evil shadow that is dogging her. 

Every story that Jennifer Ryan pens, is always a surprise read for me as she plots and narrates with intense insight. Just when I think they can’t get any better, she weaves a stunning story of two people, hearts as big as the Wyoming sky and pure as snow, as they vow to battle any demons that come their way. 

An alluring story!!
