About this listen

Stefan Dalca is infuriatingly handsome. And annoyingly persistent. We’re supposed to hate each other. But apparently he didn’t get the memo, because he’s been asking me out for years.

And I always say no. Until today.

Today he has something that I desperately need. Today he’s a savior, and I’m his prize.

Our time together starts out as a simple transaction. Three dates. No touching. No telling anyone. And definitely no falling in love.

But with every intimate conversation, and each stolen glance, the tension between us builds.

The way he looks at me gives me butterflies. And when he finally touches me? We sizzle.

Stefan makes me feel seen in a way no other person has before. He cherishes my words as passionately as my body.

He makes me laugh. He makes me blush. He calls me kitten.

He’s not the villain he’s been made out to be.

And suddenly I find myself longing for him in a way the people closest to me wouldn’t approve of or understand.

Giving in to Stefan Dalca is playing with fire.

But with him I don’t even mind the heat.

Chosen by my Happily Ever Audible wheel and sitting pretty on my green TBR, The Front Runner is an absolute masterpiece from Elsie Silver 🥹
This is undeniably my favorite book in the Gold Rush Ranch series 💚

Veterinarian Mira Thorne and rugged rancher Stefan Dalca start with fake dates to save a foal, leading to chemistry so intense it practically sizzles 🐎🔥

Stefan, once the town “villain,” is revealed to be complex and deeply vulnerable and it blew me away.

The emotional impact hit me in the feels especially during the rescue and redemption scenes, that had me tearing up 🥲

The found‑family dynamics, slow‑burn romance, and small‑town charm are woven flawlessly with heartfelt growth.

If you haven’t met Stefan Russo yet… the hype is SO real 🙌

His protective, fiercely loyal heart is everything.

The Front Runner is a 5-star, emotional journey I’ll never forget!

Foals, Fake Dates & Feels 🎧🐎💘
