Pleasure Ranch Series
Pleasure Ranch is an interconnected series of extra-spicy, short steamy western romances by Adriana French, set at a special ranch resort close to the fictional small town of West Palomino, Montana.
The cowboys are rugged, dominant, and deliciously wicked—alpha males who aim to please.
Each book is a complete standalone quickie featuring graphic heat, coarse language, and over-the-top plots. No cheating, no cliffhangers—just an epic happily ever after guaranteed. You can read them in any order, though some books form loose connected groups (the first three follow a girls’ trip, and the snowed-in titles follow a family vacation), and familiar characters and the ranch setting appear throughout.
