Book Description
It was one kiss and a promise of tomorrow…
WEST
Loving Jackson Myles almost cost me my life. I ran, going wherever the wind took me. I did things I’m not proud of to survive.
When I inherit my half of Double Arrow Ranch, I mean to sell. I want nothing to do with Jackson or that place. But my dad’s will requires I work the ranch for one year or I’ll forfeit the sale.
Only Jackson isn’t some soft and sweet kid anymore. He’s hard edges and rough antics, and he takes nothing from no one—including me. As I start to unravel, dragged down by the memories of Double Arrow Ranch, Jackson is there to pick up my pieces. But do I want him to?
JACKSON
I loved West McNamara. I loved him when he kissed me, I loved him when he vanished in the middle of the night, and a part of me still loves him. But I hate him for all the same reasons.
When West inherits his half of Double Arrow Ranch, he can’t sell it without working the ranch for one year. That means I’m stuck with him.
But this West isn’t the kid I knew. He’s tortured and broken, tattooed with the secrets of seventeen years lost between us. As I learn his secrets, can I reconcile the best friend I lost with the broken man in front of me?

My Thoughts
Prepare for your heart to be both shattered and exquisitely pieced back together. A. Winchester's Burned & Bound is a masterclass in emotional, second-chance romance, and the audiobook, narrated by the phenomenal Evan Parker and Jonathan Lake, elevates it to an unforgettable experience.
Seventeen years ago, a single kiss and a promise of tomorrow were shattered when West McNamara vanished, leaving Jackson Myles behind. Now, forced to return to the Double Arrow Ranch to claim his inheritance, West is no longer the boy Jackson knew. He's a man bearing the scars of immense trauma, tattooed with secrets from years of survival. Jackson, now all hard edges and rough exteriors, is confronted with the ghost of his first love, a man he's hated and loved in equal measure for nearly two decades.
What follows is a profoundly moving story of healing and rediscovery. This isn't just a romance; it's a testament to the power of selfless, unconditional love. Jackson’s unwavering determination to help the broken man before him, even when he doesn’t know how, is the anchor in this emotional storm. West’s journey is gut-wrenching, as he learns that to truly love Jackson, he must first find the courage to heal himself. I cried multiple times, but every tear felt earned and necessary.
The narration is pure perfection. Evan Parker and Jonathan Lake don't just read the words; they breathe raw emotion, pain, and profound love into West and Jackson, making their journey all the more visceral. This is a story that will stay with you long after the final chapter.
Without a doubt, Burned & Bound is one of my favorite reads of the year.
Please be mindful and check the content warnings before listening, as this story delves into heavy, traumatic themes.
