Resumen del Editor

Glenn Holloway's predictable life ended the day he confessed his homosexuality to his family. As if that wasn't enough, he then poured salt in the wound by walking away from the ranch he'd grown up on, to open the restaurant he'd always dreamed of. Without support from his father and brother, and too proud to accept assistance from anyone else, he had to start from scratch. Over time things worked out. Glenn successfully built a strong business, created a new home, and forged a life he could be proud of.

Despite his success, his estrangement from the Holloways is still a sore spot he can't quite heal, and a called-in favor becomes Glenn's worst nightmare. Caught in a promise, Glenn returns to his roots to deal with Rand Holloway and comes face-to-face with Mac Gentry, a man far too appealing for Glenn's own good. It could all lead to disaster - disaster for his tenuous reconnection with his family and for the desire he didn't know he held in his heart.

Cowboys, What's not to like ??

What made the experience of listening to When the Dust Settles the most enjoyable?

Sean Crisden makes listening to any book wonderful, but I love his cowboy characters the best almost. This is a great story although there were a few gaps.

What other book might you compare When the Dust Settles to and why?

Timing and After the Sunset. Just loved they way the story evolved in the book series.

Have you listened to any of Sean Crisden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have many books read by Sean. He always gets an A+

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Glen rescues Stef and Wyatt. It was a hold your breath moment. Second was when Glen finally realized his family really wanted him around.

Any additional comments?

Loved this book as with the other two in the series, BUT, was a bit disappointed in the gaps. I wanted to know more about the two years between the 2nd and 3rd book,, Rand and Stef's baby, Everett getting married, Mac's preference, Glen coming out to his family, starting the restuarant and meeting the kids he had working for him. What, why, how ?? Wish there had been more details

love it

love the storyline but I also wanted to know about the storyline about Uncle Tyler and his reunion with his family I was a little disappointment that that wasn't the next book

I love this story

I love the story so much that I just wish it would never end I would love to know if what happens to Mac and his love I can't wait I really can't wait Glen is one of the best story I have ever heard from timing it's just some people can really relate to the anc's of favorite or not so favorite and or just family pissing you off I love this book so much because it gives you that that gritty feel of it and makes you feel the same way anyway but in a good way and then it all comes to an end I love it I just love it you have to give this book a try in the timing

Nice continuation and depth...

I love this series. Absolutely love the characters and the narrator. But this third installment seemed rushed. (That's my only complaint). The book in itself could have been longer and more descriptive overall, which would have made the story not seem so rushed. Otherwise, as stated previously; I love this series!! Worth the read.

MC books are the best!

This one was pretty short for full price on Audible- but as with all MC books- I thoroughly enjoyed it. She is a a goddess.

Seriously hot.

The combination of Mary's story and Sean's narration will set your ears on fire. The tent scene. That's all I'm sayin.

Hot Sexy Cowboy Perfection!!

This is by far my favorite series by Mary Calmes. There is just something about cowboys. All of your favorite characters from Timing and After the Sunset make an appearance in this one as well. I love when you get to followup with old favorites, and boy is Rand a favorite but I digress.

Mac Gentry is the foreman of the Red Diamond, Rand's ranch. He comes across as gruff and down right mean, Most people steer clear of the man. He is the ranch and has no need for anyone who doesn't live the ranch life.

Glen Holloway gave up the ranch life to open a restaurant, The Bronc. Since he doesn't fit in with his own family he's created a makeshift family of his own with the strays at The Bronc. He avoids the ranch at every opportunity to stay away from awkward family interactions with his brother and Rand, but mostly to avoid Mac. Mac makes Glen speechless and angry in equal parts.

When Stef calls in a favor, Glen has to go on a four day cattle drive with Rand and Mac. A long day in the saddle and a lonely night on the prairie has Glen and Mac re-evaluating their relationship. If they lay it all on the table will the foundation they build be strong enough to withstand real life or will it crumble to dust out on the prairie?

Love, love, love the book. The characters are familiar, the story is entertaining. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Mary will write another one. I'm not ready to let them go just yet.

Can we talk about Sean Crisden's voice. Holy Hannah, that is the sexiest cowboy voice I have ever heard. It deep, rich, and just gruff enough to bring the characters to life with panty dropping perfection.

Good ending for the series

To bad this audio isn’t updated to the book edits. That was a little disappointing. I read the series and really enjoyed it. When I realized series was out in audible I snatched it up. So I noticed stuff missing for sure in this last book at least a couple of chapters of another cattle drive. I noticed that the other two audios felt like they were missing stuff also. Good series over all. Would listen again.

Enjoyable

I've listened to this several times. Hopefully there be a #4. Not a great ending. But overall great series...

More please!

I love this series and this book is my favorite of them. I hope it continues.
