Blue Devil Woman

Hunt Ranch #2

by Sloane Fletcher

Return to Hunt Ranch this spring and discover Benji and Sierra's story …They were Hunt Ranch’s greatest love story. Until fate tore them apart.

Sierra Hunt never had any doubt that Benji Matthews was her person. As her brother’s best friend, he should have been off-limits, but Sierra knew he was the one as surely as she knew how to ride a horse. It didn’t matter that he came from nothing – to her, he was everything. And together, they were Hunt Ranch’s greatest love the rugged wrangler and the corporate cowgirl.

Until a devastating twist of fate shattered their lives entirely.

Now they can hardly stand to be in the same room. But when Benji is left with no other choice than to step up and take the reins at Hunt Ranch, avoiding each other becomes damn near impossible. Forced to work together, the two must confront everything they’ve lost. In doing so, they might just find their way back to each other, and the love they thought had disappeared forever …

I need to start by saying that I read most of Blue Devil Woman with tears in my eyes. This is not a light read and I just want to warn people that this books deal with the loss of a child during pregnancy and the grief that follows. This book felt raw but my god, did Sloane Fletcher deliver.

Sierra and Benji's story is messy, heartbreaking and honestly, a little frustrating. Sierra is not easy to love in this book which honestly felt so realistic. I spent a good portion of the book frustrated with how she treated the people around her but the author absolutely nailed how messy grief is. By the end, I just wanted to hug Sierra. And what a man Benji was! His patience, his love for Sierra. I shall say no more!

Whilst the epilogue was both adorable and heartbreaking, I would have loved a little bit more. Sierra's reunion with her best friend, some happier moments with her and Benji, spreading Ava's ashes. It felt like it was going to be such a big moment and then it was skipped over.

I loved seeing Mav and Nina (book 1) again and the little snippets of their life together following the events of book 1, IFYKY. They really added some lightness to a pretty heavy book.

I will say the timeline felt slightly off to me. A lot happens in the span of 16 days and I just couldn't fathom everything happening in that amount of time, especially as we seemed to be skipping days etc. Although my sense of time is shocking so might just be me!

Sloane Fletcher is quickly becoming an auto-buy author for me, I just have to keep tissues nearby it seems!

I received an advanced copy for free through the author and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I cried the entire freaking book from the first page until the very last page of the epilogue 😭😭😭😭

A life changing story of what it means to overcome grief and find your way back to happiness and love again. This book has changed me in so many ways. This is not your average “cowboy romance”. This has so much pain and hurting that leads way to so much light and hope. I will be thinking about it forever.

”The way I see it, we used to be a perfect image, etched in glass. And we dropped and shattered. True. But the pieces are still there and it’s up to us - only us - to put them back together. And even though we’ll never be the same, we can still create something beautiful, something that might even be stronger and more unique than before.”

This is truly a tough read. And I’m not saying this lightly at all. It’s agony. I cried several times. It took me so long because I would only be able to read a few chapters at a time and have to take breaks. Please read the author’s trigger warning page prior to starting. But just know that the pain is worth it. It’s so worth it. Because the story, the writing, and the message are beyond beautiful.


GUYSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!…..I’m not kidding when I tell you that I officially found my favorite cowboy ever written. I read a LOT of cowboy romance and Benji is IT. He’s literally to die for perfection. I was highlighting literally everything he ever said. He is so gruff, hardworking, loyal, dedicated and he never gives up. He has loved that girl through and through from the minute he met her and I’m obsessed.

Sierra is a master class of what it means to be a resilient, brave, strong woman. The things she has had to go through and the way she responded are some of the most well written, humanizing responses to trauma and grief I’ve read. And her finally seeing the light in the world again. God. My heart will break for her forever.


Some things you get:
- second chance romance
- brother’s best friend
- Dual POV
- Overcoming grief
- Found family
- TW: infant loss
- TW: death of parents


Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for this eARC in exchange for my review. I am changed.

This book will break your heart, make you hold it in your hands and then eventually put all the pieces back together. This book is heavy and if you are sensitive to child loss this may not be the read for you, but if you can stand the pain, the eventual payoff is worth the read. Heart wrenching and unforgettable read.

This is not a light read, nor is it your typical cowboy romance. This is a heart achingly beautiful story about grief and living in the aftermath. Sierra and Benji suffered the traumatic loss of thier infant child a year ago. Grief isn’t simple, it’s messy and everyone deals with it differently. Sierra has numbed herself to everything, dove into her work, while pushing away Benji and her family. Sloane did not shy away from the ugliness behind the pain with the honest portrayal of grief and loss. Benji’s patience seems endless with the way he cares for Sierra from afar, always ready to drop everything to go help her. Sierra was frustrating at certain points with how she pushed away Benji and kept everyone else at arm’s length. But that’s grief. She has been stuck in numbed state instead of acknowledging everything. Sierra and Benji’s journey is told with looks into the past from the beginning of their relationship, her pregnancy, and then the loss of Baby Girl. Every time Sierra and Benji’s faced their loss, it was a gut punch, or a horse kick to the chest if you will. I literally was crying almost every chapter. This will break your heart, then show you the pieces before putting them back together again. Through all the pain and hurting, Sierra and Benji’s faced their found their way back to each other. They’re able to find their happiness while learning to grieve together.

A Few Favorite Quotes:
‘As soon as you come, I’m going to lie you down and eat you out.’ She started panting in sync with every thrust of his fingers. ‘I’m going to suck your clit until you’re screaming my name.’

‘On your worst day, you’re perfect for me. Christ, Si, you’re the only woman in my head and in my heart. You always have been.’

‘The way I see it, we used to be a perfect image, etched in glass. And we dropped and shattered. True. But the pieces are all still there, and it’s up to us–only us–to put them back together. And even though we’ll never be the same, we can still create something beautiful, something that might even be stronger and more unique than before.’

‘I love you, Sierra. You’re mine. Only ever mine.’

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC.

But I ended up DNF-ing this one after giving it a chance after reading the TW. It’s not for me due to the infant loss for personal reasons but I will not rate this as it wouldn’t be fair to the author.

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ | HQ Digital for an early copy of this book in exchange for a honest review. I throughly enjoyed this book and read it in one day. I loved the storyline and the characters. I didn't realize it was #2 in a series, I will definitely be going back and reading the first one. I would definitely recommend this book.

[Jelizareads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh baby Ava 💔 this book is not for the weak. There has so much heartbreak, grievance, sadness, love, but most of all patience. Benji NEVER stopped loving and caring for Sierra even after the loss of their baby. She pushed and pushed and pushed him away but he still held onto their baby and hope that she would let him in. The ending was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The best epilogue ever!

*** spoilers***
I absolutely loved Night Rider but this book was a lot heavier to get through. I lost count of the amount of times I got choked up and cried. Losing a baby is such a huge fear of mine so reading the utter heartbreak that a mother and a father goes through is ughhhh! Sierra never gave herself time to grieve. She bottled it up and worked to keep her mind off of it and pushed away the only MAN that could’ve helped her and loved her through it all. Benji still held onto their baby girl. He tried and tried to help his love but he could only do so much. Once he slowly made his way back into her life I CRIED!!!
He looked at her stomach that once held their baby and his walls came down and couldn’t be the strong person he tried to be for the both of them! That broke me so much! That made sierra realize that he too lost baby girl!
Regardless I’m glad that she came to her senses and prevented him from leaving.
Baby girl was taken away from them but were gifted two new baby girls and two twin boys soon. So beautiful! 🤍

[Nads · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much. This was such a raw emotional story with heavy themes of loss so please check the trigger warnings before going into this.

I feel like a lot of people will either really understand Sierra or not like her at all but she was extremely and painfully realistic in her actions and how she pushed everyone away. She had so much loss in her life and I think she was completely justified in how she felt she could deal with it. Even if it was frustrating at times I couldn’t help but have such empathy for her because I felt her devastation and agony. She showed exactly how grief can be so messy and everyone’s experience is different. I do wish we got to see more of her healing but it made sense that that part of a journey would be personal.

Benji, oh god Benji, you are the most perfect man in the world. He went through so much and still he was always always there for not just Sierra but everyone else. He was thoughtful, patient, caring, compassionate, strong I could literally go on and on. I do wish we got to see a breaking point with him, for someone who went through so much he was so calm for all of it, I think if he did show how broken he was from all of it it would have made him and Sierra’s healing much stronger.

I loved the dual timeline, it made what they went through and how hard they fought to be together hit so much harder.

I thought this was going to end open ended, so like real life you don’t know where your story will go, but I actually liked that we got to see their happy ending. I think it gives hope to those out there who are going through this very journey.

Thank you so much to Sloane and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC! Definitely looking forward to what else Sloane will write!

A huge thank you to netgalley, HQ | HQ Digital, and Sloane Fletcher for this ARC in exchange in for an honest review.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
from book 1 when we got to see sierra i knew i would love to see her story so much. benji is just such a golden retriever and really loves and yearns for her after their loss. This story had me crying the entire book. i was so glad to get to see mav and nina again. i'm so glad that they were able to work things out and have their happy ever after finally. you really root for them and get to see how they unconditionally love one another.

[Portia Citlali · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a 4.5 star read for me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

This story is a powerful depiction of grief after loss and how differently it can be expressed. It really shows that grief is not linear, and that everyone processes it in their own way. It also highlights what can happen when pain is buried and life is pushed forward without healing. 💔

Sierra is composed, professional, and exceptional at what she does but at the cost of everything else. She hides behind her busy schedule and pushes away the people who care about her the most. From the first book, we know she is grieving the loss of her child, and she copes by detaching. At times, she comes off as cold, but it’s really her way of protecting herself from more pain. She’s barely holding on, choosing to exist rather than truly live. 🖤

Benji, who shares in her grief, chooses to follow Sierra’s rules in order to keep the peace. He’s just as worn down, but deep down he knows Sierra is the one for him. He’s persistent, patient, and caring, holding onto enough hope for both of them. ❤️‍🩹With the help of those around them they are able to build something worthwhile even after all the heartache.

This was a beautiful story about resilience and the messy reality of grief. I loved how their emotions unfolded and how their journey showed that healing, while difficult, is possible. Their story was truly heart wrenching but was worth experiencing. 📚✨

I wanted to thank NetGalley for this ARC

[kelsie · Rating 4 out of 5]

so usually i’m not a fan of brothers best friend bc brothers usually get on my nerves trying to be protective, but i LOVED it in this instance. this one is different in the way it is brothers best friend, but it’s also kind of a second chance 🤭🤭 this has quite a few things i love, ranch setting (hehe), a DOWN BAD hot man, a strong independent woman, found family… the list could go on.

this book was a good time but it HURT BAD. the emotional turmoil the two main characters are going through.. i couldn’t even imagine. the loss they’ve endured is something i wouldn’t wish on anyone. both sierra and benji tugged on my heartstrings & i love both of them fiercely (just like they love each other!!!) reading their journey to finding their way back to each other was heartbreaking while also being heartwarming at the same time. i cried and cried and cried (and guess what? cried.)

i love that they would mention a memory in the “now” and the we would have a flashback that laid out the whole scene. i lived for the connection between them, and i’ve been rooting for their happy ending ever since they were mentioned in book one. they both deserve happiness. this book is real, raw, messy, & powerful and i wouldn’t have it any other way.

friends, proceed with caution & read trigger warnings!! thank you to the publisher for providing this book for review via netgalley. all opinions are my own <3

[Mariah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was equal parts heartbreaking and sweet. I cried numerous times because the couple was just so sweet and I was rooting for them the entire time.

Benji and Sierra grew up together. He came from a miserable alcoholic dad and a mom who couldn’t stand up for them. She grew up on her family’s ranch with her brother (who was also Benji’s BFF, because of courseeeee!). They were 3 peas in a pod, Benji’s upcoming was all due to Sierra’s parents. One day the friendship turned to more and everything was moving towards forever. Until it wasn’t.

This book talks on many triggers… Parental death, alcoholism, sexual and physical assault (although referencing from the first book, those characters do continue in this book of the series). The biggest trigger warning being experiencing a loss through stillborn.

Without giving too much away, I’ll just say that Sierra completely shuts down and shuts out Benji after the loss. It’s in the prologue so it’s not too far into the story that the plot begins (and I feel like I’m not giving too much away in saying that!). The story following them and how they do or do not find their way back to one another.

[Shannon Canzoneri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you HQ and NetGalley for this ARC!

I don't even know where to start. As far as second-chance romance goes, this one is up there. Sierra and Benji are going to be a couple that I think about weekly from now on. Even when I wasn't crying while reading this book, I would cry thinking about them. Their story is full of heartache and yearning, and finding their way back to each other through grief. I want to have this book physically so I can put it on a shelf where I can protect it and occasionally hug it.

Sierra is surviving through the walls she built around grief she can't face, and Benji is helpless to watch her and love her from a distance. And Benji loves her WHOLLY!!!! A reason I love an enemies-to-lovers trope is that the characters will see the worst of each other, but still love wholeheartedly and unabashedly. This book makes you feel that kind of love with a second chance. These two heartbroken people orbit around each other. If you want something that will make you feel, read this.

This is not a dark book, but it does cover a heavy topic. It is very much bittersweet in a perfect way. The last lines took me the fuck OUT.

[Georgia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was SUCH a unique storyline

Instead of the usual boy meets girl, falls in love, falls apart, then rekindles trope, this story feels almost backwards?? following two people trying to navigate their way forward and back to eachother

(although having said that it was a little boy meets
girl etc in the dual timeline but not the main plot of the book if you get what I mean!)

l appreciated how raw and honest the grief felt and I resonated so deeply with the below quote:

"We learn to live with it. We learn how to welcome grief when it rises because we should grieve for her, but we also have to choose to be happy when we can. Life is too short and it's passing by whether we want it to or not."

Whilst I didnt understand ANY of the horse riding lingo I
appreciated the level of detail about riding etc and imagine it makes alot of romance loving equestrians happy reading this book!

The reason this wasn't a full 5* read was because I found Sierra to be really jarring at times and Benji veered into wet blanket territory

Thankfully, both characters redeemed themselves by the end

[Kerry - Readkerryread · Rating 5 out of 5]

I do not even have the words to do this book justice, but I will do my best. Sometimes an author comes along who feels like they can see directly into your soul. Sloane is that author for me.

Sierra has experienced the most heart-wrenching loss imaginable, and it has created a painful divide between her and the man she has loved for most of her life. While grief has pushed them apart, Benji has never stopped hoping she will find her way back to him.

Consumed by guilt, anger, and heartbreak, Sierra cannot imagine ever feeling whole again. But when her brother is recovering and Benji steps in to help, avoiding him becomes impossible. Their connection is undeniable, and despite everything they have lost, they cannot help but be drawn back to each other — even if some broken pieces may never fully heal.

Having experienced profound loss myself over the past few years, this story hit me on a deeply visceral level and brought me to tears. This was a raw, emotional, and unforgettable read.

I receive an arc for review, all opinions are my own and given without prejudice.

[Dee · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved Night rider by this author but unfortunately I really disliked this one. Sierra and Benji lost their baby when Sierra had a stillbirth. Since then, Sierra basically cut Benji out of her life.
This is not a cowboy romance as indicated by the cover. The whole book is about Sierra grieving, which I understand but it is so repetitive, I felt like I was reading the same page over and over again.
Benji is a gorgeous character but she treats him horribly throughout the entire book, it was so frustrating to read. I
I thought we would be reading about them rekindling their relationship but seriously, the whole book is about Sierra being horrible to Benji. She was mean and hurtful continuously.
I would classify this as women’s fiction about grief and not a cowboy romance. It was so depressing throughout the whole book.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this, it just wasn’t for me.

Book 2 in the series

As a girl who loves a cowboy/rancher romance, this book was definitely a hidden gem. It’s book two in the series, and honestly, I don’t hear enough people talk about it when they’re discussing this genre. Which is wild because it’s better than a lot of cowboy romances I’ve read.

That being said, this is not your light, fluffy, super spicy ranch romance. The spice is around 1.5🌶️, and the story is much heavier than I expected. Grief plays a huge role throughout the book, so definitely check trigger warnings before going in.

The reason this wasn’t a full 5⭐️ for me is because Sierra was depressed for almost the entire book, and at times, I really struggled with her character. I also hated how much Benji let her walk all over him. Even though we got pieces of their past, I still wanted more of why Benji fell in love with her because, for most of the book, she came across as selfish and self-centered to me.

Overall, this was well written and way more emotional than I expected. I’d still recommend it if you want a cowboy romance with more depth than spice, and I’ll definitely be circling back to read book one.

[miss_may · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 ⭐️ (rounded up because it’s an emotional read)

This book had me bawling from page 1 and I never really stopped until I finished it. While it’s beautifully written, there are a few things that have this between 3-4 stars for me:
- This book is mostly about grief (infant loss) and I feel like this could (and maybe should?) have been clarified in the blurb in the back of the book. I totally get that it’s my mistake that I didn’t check inside the book to look for trigger warnings but a „devastating twist of fate“ does not even begin to cover what Sierra and Benji experienced.
- Because this book is mostly about grief, I do not see this as a romance. While there is a romantic subplot for sure, my impression is that Sierra‘s personal journey of loss/grief/mourning took center stage. Again, this was beautifully written, but not a romance imo.
- We get a LOT of back and forth from Sierra which I found both realistic and incredibly frustrating. However, I wish that the pay-off of their happily ever after would have taken up a bit more space in the novel instead of just the epilogue (again a reason why I think this is not a romance)

[Savannah Mattair · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a tear jerker for sure. I can’t count how many times I cried. Definitely check the trigger warnings before reading. There are quite a few hard topics discussed.
Sierra and Benji will be in my heart forever. I only started this series for them, so while I loved Mav and Nina in the first book I loved these two even more.
Sierra and Benji had been through so much. Loosing a child is probably one of the hardest things someone can go through. I completely understand their thoughts and feelings throughout the entire book.
Usually in second chance romances I’m upset with at least one of the characters for how they are going about things but not in this case.
I loved the little peeks of their past we got to see.
They have truly been in love for so long and deserve all the happiness they get.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an arc for my honest review!

I know a book is good when I can’t put it down and finish it in a day, and this was one of those books. It’s a heavy read, so definitely check the trigger warnings first, as it deals with pregnancy loss and grief.

Like Night Rider, this was so much more than just a cowboy romance. It was emotional, honest, and beautifully written, especially in the way it explored grief and its impact on everyone around it. I also loved the cameos from Mav, Poppy, and Nina, which really brought back the found family feel of the series.

The mixed timelines and POVs kept the story fast-paced and showed both characters struggles. Sierra frustrated me at times, and the ending felt a long way off, but it was worth it in the end. I’ve loved both books so far and can’t wait to see where the series goes next.

Feeling very lucky that I enjoyed Book 1 so much they sent me Book 2! This story has a completely different tone from Night Rider, Sierra is dealing with unfathomable grief from page 1 (that we had a little glimpse into in Mav's story). There is something just so fulfilling about reading books where people are really working with their friends' best interests at heart, the family on Hunt Ranch is unmatched in terms of love and loyalty. I would've gladly read another 300 pages of this, slowing down the careful rekindling of their romance even further. So much grief and so much joy, broke my heart over and over!

[Charlie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow this was heavy but illustrated grief in such a powerful way.
I could not wait to read Benji and Sierra’s story from the moment we met them in book one.

Sierra is such a strong FMC but has put up the biggest guard around herself to protect herself from grief. She pushes Benji away completely and loses any remaining pieces of herself in the process.

Benji is determined to help Sierra heal and find herself again, all whilst dealing with his own grief.

I loved the way both Benji and Sierra pushed and challenged each other in different ways. They are the perfect match for each other and I was absolutely rooting for them to have their happy ending.

[Em (semi-hiatus) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book so much it honestly hurt. From the very beginning, Sierra and Benji’s connection feels heavy with history, and that weight never lifts. Their love is messy and painful and shaped by everything they lost, which makes every moment between them feel intense and real. The second chance romance unfolds slowly, full of longing and restraint, and it kept me completely locked in. Being forced together at the ranch only deepens that closeness, surrounding them with memories they cannot escape. This story consumed me, broke my heart, and still managed to leave me feeling full by the end. I loved it.

[Susanne Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh My God! This book should be sold with a box of tissues. I don’t think there was a chapter in this book when I didn’t cry. Such beautiful and moving writing that speaks directly to your heart. Yes this book is about some hard hitting and raw topics, but it’s written with such empathy and love that it’s not just about loss, it’s about life and how big feelings can affect you for years no matter how hard you try to ignore them.

This book is about so much more than loss, it’s about love, deep raw and painful, but also so beautiful and life changing. I can’t recommend enough that you read this book.

Wow, this book was so much more than just a standard romance. I went through every emotion with this book and it's not often a book can do that for me.
Please read the triggers before reading but if you feel like you are able to read it, the story and writing is so beautiful.
I really hope this is not the last one in the series as I am not ready to leave all these characters - the found family aspect is spectacular. Lastly, as a horse girl, the involvement of the horses in the story was the cherry on the cake and was written so well :).
P.S. Benji. That is all.

probably shouldnt have read this only 2 weeks after giving birth HOWEVER i really bloody loved it. Yes Sierra was cold towards Benji but lets be real, i think she was allowed to be bitter.
I loved her character, loved Benjis character.
