No doubt about it, Adeline Mulhaney’s “Glamping Retreat” in Yellowstone National Park is the worst vacation ever. The campfire sing-alongs are bad enough, but when an earthquake strikes and she hits her head, things get even worse. Addy is somehow transported sixteen hundred years into the future. Only instead of the flying cars that Hollywood predicted, this future is filled with buffalo-sized lizards and laser-gun showdowns in the streets.
The icky locals might be content to worship the ruins of Mount Rushmore and fight bands of mutant Outlanders, but Addy is going home. Returning to the twenty-first century won’t be easy, but she has a plan. The handsomest cowboy in this Wild West nightmare just happens to have superpowers and he’s eager to lend her a hand.
Sort of.
Cade Westin isn’t sure what to think when the strange redhead wanders into his saloon. Addy speaks in an antiquated language, wears bizarre clothes, and keeps asking for something called “coffee.” The woman is crazy. But Addy’s also the only person in town who doesn’t ostracize him for his Voltyn heritage. Descended from genetically-engineered soldiers, Cade’s people are feared and hated by the humans. Addy doesn’t seem to know that, though. Soon, she’s moving into one of the rooms above his bar and whipping his screwed-up brothers into shape. And driving him crazy with her bright smiles. …And getting him chased by an angry posse.
Against his better judgment, Cade agrees to help Adeline find her way back to this mysterious “Why ‘o Ming” place. But, when Addy’s knowledge of the past puts her life in danger, not even wild Ghaa beasts can stop Cade from riding to the rescue. He isn’t sure where the little lunatic comes from, but deep down he knows that she only belongs with him.

I really enjoyed this book. It was my introduction to this author and I am currently reading the rest of her books. They make me happy.
Love to book. I am a huge fan of Ms. Gannon's work and this seemed a little "left field" for me but I absolutely fell in love.
This book captured me from the start. Given I recently visited the area on vacation with my family, and also live in a western state, the future settings were very cool. There were some very sad and disheartening references to how our future turns out to be, however the main character and the younger brother character kept positive, helping the story to stay fun and upbeat. It was an unusual story to be sure, and yet so challenging for me to put down. I was bummed at the author's note, which stated this book won't have any stories tied following it-but, maybe she'll change her mind!
Normally I am not a fan of romance and science fiction together - but Ms. Gannon's work is the exception to the rule. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, found the characters to be intriguing and the story line to be refreshing. This is an excellent read for a rainy or snowy day when you just want a fun story to read.
This book is hilarious and an awesome romance. Love the HEA and the sci-fi, dystopian twists throughout the novel. Would recommend!
I saw this book and almost past it up because of the cover. I'm so glad I didn't! It was one of the most creative and hilarious books I have read in a long time. With all the funny situation the main character ends up in I couldn't wait to see what came next. Needless to say I stayed up late into the night just to finish reading it. Anyone who loves time travel, romance and humor is going to love this book.
I really ended up disliking the heroine. In the last quarter of the book she was idiotic and pathetically whiney. It spoilt the book for me.
This was a very well written scify romance novel, with a fantastic sense of humor. The main character, Adelaine, was lovable and relatable. The eponymous cowboy was a true diamond in the rough. All of the characters were written with different personalities and reactions, which really draw the reader in. There were so many scenes where I laughed out loud, such as when they were arguing about their maybe baby and possible daughter on either sides of the street, or when Cade rides in on Madonna. And there were sweet things, too, such as his helplessness when she said, "Please." I really liked the underlying premise, that Mount Rushmore would endure longer than our society does.
There were just a few caveats. As a horse owner, the equine behavior in the book was not believable. If there is an electrical storm or fire, even in the distance, all horses would be freaking the fevre out. Cade would have known that his heavy weight, combined with another rider, would quickly exhaust the mare. He would have known that getting at least two horses, preferably more for fresh mounts, would be critical to their survival. In addition, jumping in a Western saddle is...unpleasant. In addition, all of us romantics have been lied to regarding riding double with a handsome hero. I have horses, and have ridden for many years. Riding double sucks. If you try it in a saddle, remember that a properly fitting saddle allows maybe 3 fingers of room behind your but. Saddles are not two-seaters. So, your options to ride double are to ride in front, on the saddle horn and pommel, which would be excruciating and ultimately lead to a bladder infection, or try to squeeze onto the 3 finger wide ledge of the cantle, which would constantly bang up your lady bits and shove his boy bits into the pommel, which would hurt, or you could try riding behind the saddle. If you look at a photo of a real cowboy, the saddle is big. It extends far onto the horse's back. If you try to fit behind the saddle, not only is said cantle going to keep banging you in the stomach, but you will be sitting on his sensitive loins. You cannot grip with your legs, because you are at the horse's sensitive flanks. Squeezing there will make the horse either buck you off or bolt. The overwhelming majority of horses not trained to ride double will immediately buck wildly if a second rider hops on where they have never felt weight before. Then, you are sitting over the hind legs of the horse, where all the movement is. If you slide back even a little bit, due to being bounced around on his loins, then you will be on the croup, sliding helplessly off the back of his butt, where the horse will probably give you a parting kick. I have tried riding double bareback, as a young girl when I still thought it was a good idea. I was bounced around mercilessly being so far back over the hinds that it was highly unpleasant, and I couldn't really grip because of the aforementioned flank issue. Riding double is not romantic, and both of you would be complaining bitterly about it the entire time. I have no idea how they do it in Outlander, other than that they are riding huge draft horses with extra long backs, and the saddle must have been specially made. If a saddle really could fit two people, then a single rider would be hopelessly sliding around in it.
In addition, I was unclear how a people with superior fighting abilities as the Voltyn, would be subjugated. It appears that Cade never wanted to use his powers because he didn't want to be the monster they accused him of, but it appears that he wouldn't even defend himself. It was also unclear if the nuclear war was human against Voltyn, or if it was part of the 300 year long war for which the Voltyn were created. Regardless, humankind had lost all technology, so it's not as if they could hold the threat of nuclear war over the Voltyn to keep them from ever using their powers.
Finally, if Addy did succeed in changing the future, then she would have never met Cade in the first place. She met him in that exact location, and had those experiences, because of every single event that lead up to that point in time, good and bad. It's the paradox of time travel.
That said, it was a gripping plot point how bigotry ran rampant...again...in society at large, and how it was so universally ingrained that it took an outsider to see right through it. This was a fantastic story, the chemistry between the characters was great, and best of all, the humor in her writing made this a pleasure to read.
