A fun read.
The story was very entertaining and I enjoyed the progression of the story and the development of the characters. The MC is very interesting and the secondary characters are interesting to read about.

I enjoyed this second book in the Wrangler Saga. I hope that there are going to be a few more books in this series, as the author gives lots of hints of future encounters.
I liked the river trip as the author did a good job not making it a boring slog. Elizabeth ended up right where I guessed she would, and I like the potential in that relationship. Acquiring the new sprite was a good twist and I like her plucky attitude.
About the only part I felt was overdone was how clueless Wrangler was considering the blade kin. Now granted Jed hasn't known her long, and he can't see her face (a lot of non-verbal clues come from our faces) so there is some justification to him missing the clues she was putting out there for him. I hope the blade kin comes back and smacks some sense into Wrangler.
I wonder what kind of powers Jed would gain if he did bed a Succubus? Introducing a Succubus wife to the rest of the harem could be an interesting scenario.
I am looking forward to the next installment in this series, if it was available for pre-purchase I would have done so already.

A great book highly recommended. I now find myself in the same position I was in with Power Mage, waiting for each new book to be written. Wrangler two is a good follow up, the characters are well written and each member of the harem is a full character in her own right. The storyline is compelling and introducing many new threads to be followed up in further books whilst putting to bed some of the older threads. I was concerned when Caitlin was introduced out of the blue as I find books that jump from character to character from chapter to chapter very frustrating to get into. Its just a style I don't enjoy I gave up on Game of Thrones halfway through book one because of it. However this story brings everything together nicely and is not so disjointed. I love Jeds moral standpoint and his relationships with harem and non harem members alike. I look forward to the hinted at stories developing and the new characters coming into the story, ie Caitlin, Kilashi and Jazeen, Jed's obliviousness where these women are concerned is very entertaining, can't wait for book 3..

I found this one stronger than the first, so the author is back in the groove in my opinion.
Plot development was good, with lots of interesting things in the offing for future books, Jeb's ability to defend himself and his community taking large strides forward. I do hope for a rapprochement with a certain wielder of sharp things, increased communication with a specific sharp thing, and a good relationship with a large furry thing. A terminal solution to a particular menace was also appreciated, albeit many others remain.
Annyway, enough of the veiled semi-spoilers. Overall, good stuff, and I look forward to more.

Time for some wrangling.
The book was going so well until the second POV started. I don't want to read about someone else.
Okay. I know the character is hard-headed and willful, but
I really don't want to be reading through Miss Earth Girl's POV. They are always a slog to get through.
I wonder how many times the author will conveniently let our protagonist be completely alone in the next book so he can be attacked...
3/5 Stars

The fun and adventure continues
I'm really enjoying this book it is a great continuation of the story of the first one Wrangler of a man from the 1800s who finds himself in a magical world. the story is well written and the characters and their personalities flow and create nuances that are very entertaining. I am looking forward to book number three. But the only bad thing is now I have to wait oh well hahaha. the wait for book two was well worth it so in my opinion book three should be just as good if not better.

Number Two is Great!
Read this book! If you're looking for well crafted characters that continue to grow and develop, you'll enjoy this series. This is Harem Kit so there is sex, it's done as part the story line not crammed into the story. Jed and his Harem continue to improve the meadow, Jed makes a remarkable and eventful trip to Black Pool. The River Bag is continuing to cause problems! Read this book it is excellent!

Wrangler Series Review
I chose the rating because I enjoyed the book immensely. Great characters and pacing.
Strong lead character that usually thinks things threw, keeping control carefully. Doesn't try to stifle others strengths and beliefs.
Works well with his people no matter who or what they are!
The many varied sexual encounters, even the delayed ones. Never read harem/ lit before. Well done!!!

Better than book 1
I like this book better than book 1. The flow was a lot better and the new characters were very fleshed out. However a couple of things irked me. First, you have so many enemies you leave the city alone to be ambushed? Stupid. Lastly, we don't need more women drama. Now the are 3 ladies proving angst. Again stupid and unneeded.
However, the book isbettrrvthsn the first, ill read book 3.

Meh.
First book was better. Worldbuilding and character integration. Second book was ok when they were in town. Devolved into repeat/rehash of Book 1 without worldbuilding. Its like mistress #1 gets found. She would lust. Gets inducted. Have sexua orgy. Mistress #2 gets found. Would lust. Gets inducted. Orgy. Mistress #3 gets found… its all monotonous and gets dragged down by nonsensical word count. Its like how to woo a monster girl guide. Expounded and Rinsed/repeated.

The second book in the series hasn’t disappointed.
With the addition of new characters and the moral quandaries that they engender makes for a great read, leaving me chomping at the bit waiting for the next instalment.
Jed’ inability to see what is happening in front of him in the complicated world of relationships, humanises him. Bringing him to life and allowing the reader to observe every misstep in full cringing detail.
The addition of one character has added a “Spaceman in King Arthur’s Court” accord (in the broadest sense of time displacement) and has introduced some interesting moral ambiguities prevalent in today’s world.
Bugger me I feel worn out, I too many big words, time for a beer.

I have not slept for two days Hondo.....
This book is SO good! The story and characters are just written so well that I couldn’t put it down!
Hondo is now one of my all time favorite authors.
Shayne silvers,Steven King, Eric Vall and M.D. Massey
all should read Hondo Jinx’s work.
I can’t wait until #3 is out. It’s going to be a painful wait....

The author has a real talent for characters and story, combining them with worlds filled with wonder and danger. This second book in the series is even better than the first! It bring new places, people, powers, and possibilities. It also raises the bar on danger and adventure, so... yeah: awesome fun stuff!
Definitely recommended (17+)

Wrangled Again
Fantasy harem adult situations
Jed continues building his family and growing town. A lot of potential future quests hinted at, Jed gains more powers as he adds his third wife. Interesting tale, but if you want to know more, you gotta buy the book and read it. Recommended.

Great series
Book 2 continues Wrangler, a cowboy from the early 1860's where he meets new challenges in the parallel world he entered in book 1. Sprites, monsters, land where he is starting a town, and a harem of magical women. Each new woman brings him new abilities and additional protection to the land. He never wants to return to his earth. Can't wait till the next book.

Fantastic. Just too short. I wish there wasn’t any litrpg elements (like +strength).
Overall the story continues with Jed and his growing empire and influence. A few loose ends are tied and more mysterious plots are revealed. Great second book!

Great Adventure
I love this book. The characters are Great and they have a lot of depth. The plot is deep, a lot deeper than I can imagine currently I am sure. It certainly is intriguing and I can't wait for the next book.

Great frontier adventure
I think if you have a passion for the wild west, harem, D & D, this ticks all the boxes, most guys will identify with the M C. The adventure is well paced, funny, and violent when it needs to be. Really looking forward to book 3.

Very good story!
I very much like this series. The characters are varied and so individual it creates a fascinating spectrum of life. Each is so different yet each adds to the whole and makes the story that much better. Looking forward to more of Wrangler.

Enjoying the journey
Great follow up to the first story. The author blends the building of their home with the exploration of the world they found themselves on. Looking forward to the third book!

Fun read
Editing quality dropped a bit. Also, it’s not ‘kindly’, it’s ‘kind of’ or ‘kinda’ if you want the slang. Kindly refers to kindness, kind of is used instead of ‘sort of’ (slang: sorta).
