Cowboys of Devil’s Ditch 1-3 by Vanessa Vale-review tour

This paperback volume includes Trig, Colt and Bray.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 15, 2025

The West just got Wilder! Meet the cowboys of Devil’s Ditch, Montana, one steamy, instalove story at a time.

TRIG:
I’m a rodeo champ. I live for the eight second rush astride an angry bull. But now I live for her. The One I save from a Montana blizzard.
Stranded together, I make her mine.
When danger arrives on my front porch, I protect what’s mine.
But how do I protect the woman I love if I don’t know who she really is?

COLT:
She’s The One. The one who got away.
After a steamy encounter at the rodeo, I thought I’d never see her again. I’ve been given a second chance when I discover she’s the new doctor in town. I do everything I can to make her mine, but she resists. It makes no sense, until I learn the truth of her past. I won’t let her escape again, even if I have to handcuff her to my bed.

BRAY:
I’ve known her for years… but it’s time to make her mine. My little sister’s best friend needs my help, to be her fake boyfriend.
Fake? Nothing’s fake with her. She feels it, too, but can’t understand why I finally want her after all this time. I’d take the time to prove it, but someone’s out to hurt her. That means she’s mine now whether she likes it or not.

REVIEW:Get your horses and saddles ready friends; the Cowboys of Devil’s Ditch have arrived. In this book we have the first three books in the series, Trig, Colt and Bray. Each can be read as a standalone in an interconnected series, but as always I recommend reading them in order to get the most out of them. These books have been out for some time, and re-releases as a bundle set.

We start the bundle off with Trig and Elle. Elle is on the run from her father who is forcing her into an arranged marriage (and not the fun kind). When she breaks down in a major Montana snowstorm, Trig finds her and rescues her. Now Trig is dealing with his own drama, on medical leave after suffering a severe injury in the last rodeo, he’s at a crossroads in his life. When he comes upon Elle, every protective instinct comes alive. He will risk it all to keep her safe from her father and insure she has the life she wants, Trig just hopes that life will be with him. Their story is quick and well paced, spicy and fun, a great way to kick the series off.

We then move on to Colt and his second chance with Molly. A one night stand with the town’s new Doctor sends the pair of them on a journey of new discovery and love. Molly however is dealing with some drama from her crazy sister and when Colt learns about it, he of course offers to step in and help. Colt and Molly’s story had a little more character development than the first in the series, so I liked it just a little bit more. As the story comes to a head Colt and Molly fight for what they have found in one another and who knows, maybe a one night stand can lead to more after all.

Into the third addition to the series we have Bray and Katie. This is more of a slow burn romance with a little bit of fake dating tossed in to spice things up. Katie and Bray have known each other for years, as Bray’s sister’s best friend he’s seen her grown up. When Katie asks him to play her fake boyfriend, he agrees and not so slowly starts to realize he doesn’t see her as his sister’s bestie, he sees her as a woman. His woman. This one was a really cute story and felt more like two friends finally realizing they are in love with one another after being friends for so long. Spice is there, characters are there, overall a good addition to the series.

The Cowboys of Devil’s Ditch continues still so make sure you get the next book in the series. For those readers that love a good, cozy, spicy cowboy romance, these books will check all your boxes.
