    About this ebook

    From the moment rancher Jack Turner rescues Jenna Caldwell Merrick, he is determined to help her. Soon, he is doing more than tend her wounds; he is mending her heart. Jenna is a woman on the run—hunted down by her ex-husband, David Merrick, from the day she left him, taking part of his company with her, to the second she finds herself in the safety of Jack's ranch. More than just a haven, Jack's offering the love, family, and home she thought were out of reach.

    Jack's support will give Jenna the strength she needs to reclaim her life. The hunted will become the hunter, while David gets what he deserves, when they have an explosive confrontation in the boardroom of Merrick International. But not before Jack and Jenna enter into a fight … for their lives.

      Saved by the Rancher by Jennifer RyanSaved by the Rancher: Book One: The Hunted Seriesby Jennifer Ryan1401819Dianne Socci-Tetro's reviewFeb 17, 13 · edit2 of 5 stars falsebookshelves: galleys-arcsRead on February 16, 2013Saved by the Rancher: Book One: The Hunted SeriesThis book has its pluses and minuses. The dialogue is a bit melodramatic, but the plot, while a somewhat over-done lately in this genre (Romance. Suspense/Thriller), is still an interesting one. It is a story of a woman needing a protector and finding one in an ex-army Ranger/cowboy. The story and relationships are at times overly sweet and sometimes a bit cloying, but that can be refreshing to some readers after so many books featuring kick-butt heroine’s and dialogue with tons of sarcasm and snark. The characters do come off at times as caricatures and that sometimes makes it a painful read..Her vile ex-husband is hunting Jenna, and her lawyer has sent her out to his old friend Jack to recover from her horrendous wounds and to hide. Very quickly (nearly too quickly) Jack is feeling more than he should for Jenna.Very quickly (again nearly too quickly) Jenna is having sexual feelings for Jack and is feeling, after only a couple of days, that Jack has healed her.Since Jenna is rich beyond most of our imagining, Jenna does a lot of good for Jack and his family using her divorce settlement. It is nice for once that the female protagonist is the extremely wealthy one and bestows her largesse over everyone. However, it just seems again to be too soon and too much. I believe I would feel this way even if it were a male protagonist doing this.With only 295 pages, it amazed me that there were 62 chapters. Moreover, even though this is a relatively short novel, it reads as if it was much longer.Jenna can act irrationally. Take, for example, in one scene she is confronting then leaving with her ex-husband David when he makes himself known to her while he is on Jacks ranch instead of going into the house and arming herself. This might be looked at as if she were a ‘too stupid to live’ heroine.The author does a fine job of setting up the men for her next few books.

      So it's official, I am completely hooked on Jennifer Ryan's books. She's an author who's books have been on my kindle but I kept putting them on hold *kicking self*. I thoroughly enjoy her writing style, her stories and her characters. Each book seems to have a rugged alpha hero but when they fall for their women they fall fast, fall hard, and fall completely. Yeah, that always hooks me!!

      In this book we have Jack Turner, ex-military cowboy (swoon), who finds himself caring for a woman who is running from an abusive ex. Jenna Merrick may not be physically as strong as her ex but she's smart, determined, and angry. She will have her ultimate revenge!

      This is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it to everyone.
    • 3/5
      If you are into the hurt/comfort part of the romance and suspense/thriller genre, this one fits the bill. Lots of hurt, lots of comfort, things move very quickly, some things are very much over-the-top unbelievable.I mostly enjoyed the book, but there are enough misused homophones/heterographs to irk me - "ringing" someone's neck instead of "wringing" someone's neck.
    • 3/5
      Few continuity errors....the story seemed to jump a little, like the author changed her mind about little details and added them and it wasn't caught in the editing stage to smooth it out. Jack seemed pushy at times, although mentally seemed to understand what Jenna was going through.

      Overall though I really liked this story...the above didn't detract from the characters or plot at all. Just my observations.
    • 4/5
      so as has been pointed out in other reviews, it was a bit dramatic. it was a good, we'll thought out plot however, and a little melodrama couldn't ruin it. The only thing that really annoyed me was that for such a supposedly strong and smart woman she never got any self defense training, or a gun or even a damn dog. She really was the "rabbit" she code named herself. Prey. Realistically she should have gotten a gun after attack one and shot him herself. It was really unbelievable that she never got any real offense going. She had money and brains, there isn't really an excuse.
