The Wranglers’ New Chef

The Wranglers’ New Chef is one of Marla Monroe’s contemporary romance novels in her ranch and rural menage subgenre, working in the territory that Monroe has used across multiple connected series. The wranglers’ new chef premise hints at the kind of ranch workplace romance setup that Monroe handles well, with the heroine taking on the chef role at a ranch operation and developing romantic relationships with the multiple wrangler partners who work there.

Monroe writes the kind of erotic romance that does not waste time. Her plots move, her heat scenes are frequent and explicit, and her characters spend less time in self doubt than the contemporary romance mainstream often does. The ranch setting gives her room to deliver the kind of physical work, outdoor activity, and rural community feeling that her readers enjoy alongside the menage romance dynamics that drive the central plot.

For readers who enjoy menage romance with ranch and rural themes, Monroe is one of the steadier producers in the subgenre. The Wranglers’ New Chef is a comfortable entry into her catalogue and a fair sample of what she does in the ranch menage corner of her wider work.
