Kristen Ashley is one of my all time favourite romance authors and I've not even read ALL of her books. But her books have it all, and this one is no different. This is the 7th book in the Colorado Mountain series and another fabulous book. Each time a read one of books it becomes my new favourite, until I read the next one! 
 Bounty is pretty perfect as far as a romance story goes. In this story we have Deke Hightower (who we've met before in previous books) and Justice Lonesome. I was so pleased that Deke has his own story as he's been such an important character in other books. 
 Deke and Justice first meet each other at a biker bar in Wyoming. After arranging to meet up the next day, he never shows up and Justice is left wondering why.... 
 Move to 7 years later, and Jus has moved to the country and to Carnal, to get away from it all, buys a huge house which needs a lot of work, and tried to find her place in this new town. Enter Deke! And much to Jus' disappointment he doesn't remember her and he doesn't appear to want to get to know her.... 
 This is a slow-burn romance. There's a developing friendship, but I was looking forward to when they finally took that step to become lovers and admit where things were going. It's sweet, romantic, thoughtful and caring and as with all KA books with her handsome alpha men, it's super hot and sexy! 
 I loved the fact that this book had so many of the characters from the other books in the series, but also featuring characters from the 'Burg series and others too. I do love those cross-overs that KA writes! 
 There is also loads of drama, excitement, twists and turns and just as you start to think this book is going well and everyone is happy... BAM!!!! A twist or dramatic event occurs! And boy did this one get my heart racing. 
 I think there is an element of knowing what was going to happen in this book, without the specifics, but then I wouldn't say that's necessarily a negative as sometimes that's what makes it a good comfort read. 
 So yes, overall another great book from Kristen Ashley! Bounty was a great story and I must say that for me, the epilogue was awesome. It had it all and I really enjoyed the musical element in this too.
