Description
Kacey Hart has learned the hard way that men see her as a prize, not a person. As heir to Colorado's most successful ranch, she's built walls to protect both her heart and her legacy. The Diamond Hart Ranch is her sanctuary—until Knox Ward arrives.
Professional bull rider Knox Ward lives by one rule: no girlfriends, no exceptions. With a world championship in his sights and the summer rodeo run just six weeks away, he can't afford distractions. Then he meets Kacey.
As desire burns hot, Knox's championship dreams and Kacey's guarded heart collide in ways neither expected. When the stakes rise and the summer circuit calls, they face an impossible choice—walk away or risk everything for a love that could either fulfill their dreams or leave them both broken.

Advance Praise
"Mountain Time is a true love letter to the rodeo and ranching lifestyle. A love letter that is full of authenticity and a swoon-worthy romance with a dose of grit. The masterful way in which both lifestyles and terms blended without removing the reader from the plot was refreshing. I feel like it's such a needed voice in the romance space and is the optimity of cowboy romance! Bravo you two!" - Alyssa D.
"This does not read like a debut novel. This is a perfect mix of what I want the pacing to be like in a romance book. The actual bull riding scenes are so technical and descriptive and quite possibly my favorite scenes in the book. This is the stuff we don't see in normal cowboy romances and absolutely sets you apart from the rest. The glimpse you give the reader of the nitty gritty of rodeo life is a breath of fresh air, instead of focusing on the ‘glitz & glam’ like some do." Jaclyn C.
"I loved it! It was funny, emotional, and hopeful. I loved that both of them were emotionally mature enough to talk out their worries. It was very informative as someone who knows nothing about bull riding but from what I’ve read in books. And I loved that you actually got so much of the bull riding and the ranching in the book. You two did fantastic, I’m so excited for more books in the series." - Randi P.
"The plot pulls you in so quickly, and the rodeo action feels so real - you can absolutely tell it is written by people who know the rodeo life well. I laughed out loud so many times reading this and then actively sobbed my way through several chapters - these characters really seep under your skin! As someone who hasn’t read a lot of cowboy romance but generally enjoys the genre, I absolutely cannot wait to read more of this series!" - Kitty K.

Its giving bull rider x guarded heart
If you're a fan of cowboys and small town second chance romance then this one is definitely for you!
It's a beautiful and heartbreaking short story between Kacey and Knox set over the summer months. I would have liked it to be a bit longer to get more of the story but overall enjoyed this 1st book of the series. Love the front cover graphics too!
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I thoroughly enjoyed this rodeo romance! It’s refreshing to read a cowboy romance that’s so true to the lifestyle and sport. Their passion for the western culture shines through in this debut novel and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do next.

This was a strong start to the Diamond Hart Ranch series, it had that romance element that I was looking for and was engaged with what was happening. I enjoyed this as a opening chapter. The characters had that overall feel that I was wanting and enjoyed the concept. India Reiste & Trevor Reistewrote this well and was engaged from the first page.

I’m new to reviewing books but im not new to what a good book is and this one is fantastic!! 5 stars for India and Trevor! I picked this book up and couldn’t put it down til I finished it. It pulls you and takes you on the wild ride of Kacey and Knox and I can’t wait to read more from them! They stayed true to the facts with ranching and rodeo lifestyle which is such a refreshing change of pace in a cowboy romance! I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to get lost in their hot cowboy dreams!

I could not put this down.
It has been a minute since I've finished a novel, that wasn't a short story, in just two days. At first the beginning of the novel gave me a little bit (just a tiny bit) of a struggle but after a I kept going, I was hooked and couldn't put down the book. Even when I was laying down for bed.
In this novel, I like that things in the PBR world are explained that may need a little bit of an explanation, and you aren't questioning what does this mean. Or have to look it up to understand what the authors are trying to say. The relationship that Kacey and Knox have is a nice healthy relationship. I liked that he was not pushy/forcing Kacey to do things she either wasn't ready to do or make her do something she probably didn't want to do.
Knox really is a chivalrous man. I knew that from the first time he took Kacey home. 🤭
The minor characters in this novel, Gran especially, were hilarious. I feel like you can see hints towards who the next books will be as you read just by how they interact with the other characters.

Holy smokes. Where do I even begin?? I LOVED every second of this book. The writing was so amazing that I found it hard to put down! I truly didn’t want Knox and Kacey’s story to end. I love that the authors wrote about what they know, because I truly feel like I learned so much about ranching and rodeos. I read so many things that I haven’t before in other cowboy romance books. It made it feel like I was right there in all the action. The way all r he characters were written made it so easy to fall in love with them.
Kacey isn’t very trusting of Knox at first (same girl same), but he stays patient with her. He’s got a “no-girlfriend” rule that he quite literally throws out the window when he meets her. I highlighted so many things Knox said to Kacey in those first several chapters because I literally could not stop squealing. I also screamed when I realized Trey and Jessie’s book is next.
In case I haven’t convinced you to read this book yet… Knox is a hot bull rider with a dirty mouth. What more could you ask for?
