ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 20, 2026

Ladd
As the son of a third-generation cattle rancher, it’s expected that I would follow in the footsteps of my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather and work the family ranch just as they did.

However, that wasn’t my dream, and thankfully, my parents stood behind me when I told them I wanted to open a sporting goods store in our hometown of River Falls, Colorado. That’s my plan. My endgame, and nothing is going to distract me from that goal.

Then, I met Vivianne Pennington. It soon becomes clear to me that Vivianne is now a part of my dreams, and when I bring her home for Christmas, my entire family and the town of River Falls fall head over heels in love with her.

Vivanne
I’ve gone and found myself in love with a cowboy from a small town in Colorado. When Ladd’s mother and father insist that I come and spend Christmas with them on the family’s cattle ranch, I’m both excited and nervous.

It becomes clear to me that Ladd’s family has deep roots in the community and a family bond I’ve never experienced before. Estranged from my own parents, I long to be a part of the Wilde family and start to see myself living on the ranch and being a part of the community.

But I’m keeping a secret from my past. A secret that I’m terrified will destroy the future I envision, and I’m scared to lose the wild cowboy who has stolen my heart.

REVIEW: WILDE COWBOY is the first instalment and origin story in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult LOVE IS A COWBOY erotic, romance series focusing on the Wilde family. This is rancher Ladd Wilde, and Vivianne Pennington’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ladd and Vivianne), covering several years in the life, WILDE COWBOY follows the building romance and relationship between rancher’s son Ladd Wilde, and Vivianne Pennington. Ladd Wilde met Vivianne Pennington during junior year at college, and knew immediately Vivianne was the woman he was going to marry. Bringing Vivianne home for Christmas gave Ladd a chance to show Vivianne the life he has always known, a life Vivianne would discover was something she needed.

The world building focuses on family and love. Vivianne is estranged from her family, so much so, they are no longer a part of her life but having been welcomed into the Wilde family of Colorado, Vivianne finds the family she has always wanted but Vivianne has a secret, a secret that may destroy any chance at her own happily ever after.

The relationship between Vivianne and Ladd is one of mutual and immediate attraction. From their first introduction, our couple have never been apart, and look forward to a future both on and off the ranch. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Ladd’s large extended and close family, all of whom welcome our heroine as one of their own.

WILDE COWBOY is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is emotional and inspiring-there is no conflict between our story line couple. The romance is tender and impassioned; the characters are spirited and playful.
