About this audiobook

From acclaimed author A.M. Arthur comes a tender, sexy cowboy romance, the first in her Woods Ranch series.

Two cowboys will have to risk their hearts—again—to find a home on the ranch.

Hugo Turner's boots haven't touched Texas soil in almost a decade, and he's not sure they should now. Being in the state is complicated, but Hugo can't resist going back for a job working with his teenage crush. His best friend's hot older brother is now the ranch's foreman, so he'll be Hugo's boss. Inappropriate? Probably. Will it stop Hugo? Probably not.

Brand Woods isn't ready for the return of Hugo Turner. He decided long ago to keep his bisexuality private and to focus his life on running the ranch. Working next to the most dangerously tempting man he’s ever known stirs up questions Brand thought he'd put to rest.

The sparks that send their hearts galloping lead to a deeper passion than either man expects. But by giving in to the chemistry without taking a risk and committing to each other—or, more importantly, to themselves and living the lives they've always wanted—Brand and Hugo might lose their second chance at true love.

Ratings and reviews

Audiobook Review: Overall – 5 Performance – 5 Story – 5 A great start to a new series! I’ve been a big fan of A.M. Arthur’s writing for several years now and I was so happy to learn that she was writing another cowboy series. I loved the Clean Slate Ranch series and the new Woods Ranch series is off to a fantastic start. I was lucky to get an advanced copy of the ebook from the publisher via NetGalley but shortly after I started reading it, I was able to get an early copy of the audiobook, too. I love Michael Dean’s audio performances so I switched and listened to the rest of the book. OMG, he did such a great job with this book. The story grabbed me right from the start and I enjoyed the beginning bits that took place on Clean Slate Ranch. (Woods Ranch is a spin-off of Clean Slate Ranch but you don’t need have read that series to enjoy this one.) The blurb for the book is really good so I’m not going to waste your time by rehashing it here. Instead, I’ll tell you how much I enjoyed the story and how the slow-burn, sexual tension between Hugo and Brand really drew me in. I hated the fear that Hugo felt when his stepbrother came around. I kept waiting for something big to happen and when it did it was heart-stopping. But I knew the A.M. Arthur would get these two their HEA and I loved it. There were several secondary characters in this story that I hope will get books of their own. There’s no blurb available yet for book two in the series (coming in late October) so I don’t know who will be the next MC but I’m hoping that a certain nurse named Josiah, will get a book of his own. I also think Jackson needs to get one and I think it would be great if these two got matched up. 🥰 A copy of this book/audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author/narrator. ***Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions dot com***

About the author

A.M. Arthur was born and raised in the same kind of small town she likes to write about, a stone's throw from both the ocean and generational farmland. She's been writing stories in her head since she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long. When not exorcising the voices in her head, A.M. can be found in the kitchen experimenting with food and trying not to poison herself or others.
