Saddle to Sunup

The Darling Brothers, Book 3

De: Emmy Sanders

Narrado por: Kale Williams

He gave me my first kiss. I never expected he might be my last.

Lawson
Ever since Oakley Beaumont skipped town, it feels as if my life has gone off the rails. Even worse than my divorce and moving back into my childhood bedroom at the Darling Ranch is the fact that I’m learning there’s a whole lot about myself I simply don’t know.

Like whether or not I’m straight.

And why the sudden absence of my best friend left a hole in my chest I haven’t been able to fill in the three years he’s been gone.

First things first: I need to bring Oakley home.

Then maybe I can tackle the matter of my love life. After all, I’m ready to get back in the saddle.

And who better to help me than the cowboy who once promised me forever?

Saddle to Sunup is a friends-to-lovers romance set in small town Montana, with a queer awakening for a single dad in his forties, a reunion that feels a lot like a second chance, playful banter, a bit of rope, and one very HEA. It’s book 3 in The Darling Brothers series but can be listened to as a standalone.

Swoon worthy childhood friends to lovers

Lawson is struggling to find his sexuality and dealing with his confusing feelings towards a childhood best friend.
Oakley has made a life for himself far away from Montana until one morning his best friend comes knocking on his door.
This story has a lot of humour, warm and fuzzy feelings, beautiful ace rep and of course Darling ranch chaos.
Kale did a great job with the audio.

She did it again!

I swear to God that Emmy Sanders has pixie dust hidden somewhere and she brings it out whenever she writes a new book! That’s the only explanation for why ALL of her stories are so amazing. Besides the fact that she’s uber talented, of course 😆

I don’t have the words to describe how beautiful Lawson and Oakley are. They got their happy ending after waiting for so long.

I loved the way Emmy wrote Lawson’s struggles with his sexuality. How it wasn’t a one size fits all situation or that it needed a label. It took him a long time to figure it out but he finally went after what he really wanted, Oakley.

Oakley had loved Lawson for so long without any hopes of ever being reciprocated. He really tried his best to hide his feelings, but true love can’t be hidden and eventually Lawson realized how much Oakley loved him.

They were meant to be from the moment they made that promise when they were kids. They just needed to experience some things in order for them to be together.

I love how supportive both families are and how all they care about is their happiness. No angst stories are always my favorite.

I loved everything about this book and can’t wait for the next one. As always, Kale Williams did a fantastic job narrating.

Masterpiece!

Emmy Sanders has done it again! I laughed, I cried, I loved. Writing characters that feel like family rather than fiction is always at the heart of Emmy’s books. I wouldn’t have changed a single word, I only with that I could read it again for the first time.

These two were so adorable

I absolutely loved these two sweet souls. I loved how they loved each other. My heart hurt for Lawson and seeing how much he was hurting in the other books but I’m so happy he got his HEA BOTH!

Lawson & Oakley❤️❤️

I don’t need to do much of a review because this is the third installment of this series and I love it each and every Darling brother is different in their own way and you can feel it…From the first two books you get a feel for Lawson and his situation, but to hear him be so forceful and straight to the point I loved it… spoiler alert…the man went to his best friends house and started packing his bags and told him he was coming home…hello and he agreed🥰 I am on pins and needles for Remi’s story I need it today 😂…Kale Williams is fabulous w/that sexy voice as always. I listen to everything this Man narrates.
