Big Game: A Hunted
Love #1
Synopsis
When a legendary predator decides prize horses should be on his
menu, Kate takes the advice of her neighbor ranchers and hires a big game
hunter to track the mountain lion and remove the threat. The hunter arrives to
take up the trail, but instead of the seasoned older man she expects, he's
young and impossibly sexy.
Freshly back from deployment to Afghanistan as a special forces
operative, Jakob needs to clear his head of the horrors of war. When his uncle
is dies, Jakob steps in to fulfill the older man's commitment to hunt down a
mountain lion on the other side of the state. The prospect of several days in
the wilderness with only his horses and dogs for company sounds like the ideal
opportunity. Except the infuriating female rancher insists on going along for
the ride.
I really enjoyed this
story for many reasons, one of which is how hot and amazing Jakob is and where
can I find me one of those? The minute the story switched to his point of view,
I was like okay now this book is going to get interesting, and very hot! I
think I immediately fell in love with both Kate and Jakob, I don’t know what it
is about them that I loved so much but there was something. I think I mostly liked the fact that they
were both suffering a loss of someone they loved and at the same time trying to
find their paths in life. I loved how
confident Kate was, and how knowledgeable she was about all the comings and
goings ons on the land she owned. It was
obvious how much she loved her job, even if it wasn’t her first choice in life
she still took pride in her what she did.
I loved that Jakob just wanted Kate so badly he was thinking like a
teenage boy rather than a grown man, and ignored any type of physical
limitations Kate might have. I love that
Kate didn’t hold herself back no matter what her limitations were, and that
Jakob didn’t baby her because of it.
There chemistry was immediate and insatiable and I couldn’t wait for
them to just tear each other’s clothes off and go at it!
I think what I enjoyed
the most about this story is that I think I actually learned a lot. I have no idea what it’s like to live on a
ranch, I don’t know the names of breeds or horses, and I most certainly don’t know
how to hunt down a mountain lion. But I
kind of learned all that by reading this story! I’m not saying I can now go off
and run my own ranch or anything, but I love when I feel like an author can go
into great detail about a subject so completely I walk away a little bit more
knowledgeable. I love when authors write
what they know, and there is no doubt in my mind that Aden Lowe knows plenty
about ranching, or at least has studied it.
The details in this book were great, as well as the sexual tension
between Kate and Jakob. I love that both
were willing to jump into whatever type of relationship was forming between
them and then where that lead them.
There was definitely some very hot sex scenes between these two and I am
glad I got to meet Kate and Jakob and watch them fall for each other. I do wish this book was a little bit longer
though, but that could just be because I loved this story so much!
What I Loved
Not So Much
I’m a huge fan of drama and action, and although I felt like
the plot was solid I wish there was more to it.
I was kind of waiting for something big and dramatic to happen,
something that would have my heart pounding or my jaw on the floor and that
never really happened for me. This was a
great quick read, which awesome characters but I would’ve liked a little bit
more to the plot. Give me tears,
yelling, and broken hearts any day of the week and I will coming running!

What I Loved
I like the kind of edginess to this story a lot. Falon right away comes off as a man you don’t
want to cross, unless he’s naked and you are as well! Although he has a kind of
dark side to him, there is also something about him that makes you want to
reach out and heal him as well. I love
that his character is multifaceted with many different sides. It makes the plot of the story less black and
white and more gray which to me makes the plot easier to become engrossed
in. I think the same can be said for
Rita as well, she’s a woman with a past and has fought her way out of many
holes and have the scars to prove it. I
love that although she’s had such a rough past, and tragic in a way there is
something about her that is still very relatable making her more real and down
to earth. I love that Rita speaks her
mind and doesn’t put up with bullshit at all, and knows how to protect what’s her. Rita is definitely one of my favorite overall
female leads and she’s a breath of fresh water in a very big genre.
Not So Much
I think my main pet
peeve about this book is that I wish it was a little bit longer. I get that there is another book coming out,
and maybe we will unearth more of Falon’s secrets and his past. But in the
meantime I wish there was more attention paid to Rita’s past in this book. I felt like even if there was just one more
page going into more detail about all the drama in her life growing up and
stuff I would’ve enjoyed it more. Rita
is a very relatable character and that’s great but I felt like when she does
talk about her life, it was the perfect opportunity to add more. I don’t feel that way about Falon yet because
I don’t feel like that perfect opportunity has come yet, we have gotten parts
of it and there has been a couple bombshells but I feel like everything with
him will come to light when it’s supposed to, but with Rita it should’ve
already.
