Receiving a frantic call from her friend Alice, Julia McComas packs her bags and heads to a ranch in Texas where she encounters critters, cows, and a handful of handsome cowboy brothers. Her presence interrupts their daily routine, and one brother in particular makes his annoyance well known: Graham. 

As the oldest of seven brothers, Graham Hastings takes his role as leader of the family business seriously. Not only does he keep the family ranch running, but he also keeps a tight rope on all his brothers. But when Julia McComas winds up living in his guest house, her presence shakes up more than just ranch life. It shakes up his heart. 

Can Julia learn the ways of the ranch? 

Can Graham let go of the reins enough to let love into his heart?

Enjoyed

This is a cute story. Looking forward to more of the series. The narrator is doing an excellent job.

Pure Western storytelling-its wonderful

A gruff taciturn cowboy’s cowboy got hit by Cupid by a beautiful city girl. Graham had the responsibility of the ranch and raising his rowdy brothers for many years since his parents died. Julia came to visit her friend Alice, with Alice hoping to talk her into moving there and helping out in her veterinary office. Circumstances led to them staying in the guest house at the ranch. Despite inauspicious beginnings, they seem to gravitate to each other. Can the growly bear be tamed and can Julia actually be happy on the ranch when she’s afraid of horses?
I loved the story, the sweet brothers who all love her and the taming of the growly Graham. The narrator is fabulous and gives the Western feel, twang and gruffness that’s just right. This is a clean story and I want to hear what happens to the rest of the brothers.

Sweet cowboy romance

I liked the story of a rough cowboy being tamed by a city slicker female. They only have a couple weeks to get to know each other. I the only thing that bothered me was she never seems to tell Graham how she feels about him. Julia is kind. A bit clueless in the beginning of the book. And a bit prissy. But she is a likeable character. But she seems to let Graham be the one to put himself out there. The narrator does a good job.

Charming & romantic!💜

I can think of several “swoon” worthy moments in this charming cowboy romance, that had me longing for my own cowboy. There’s nothing sexier than bringing a big grumpy cowboy to his knees by a beautiful city girl. Fantastic storyline and fun characters. James Cheatham is an amazing narrator who really captured the attitudes and personalities of these characters. This is book 1 with an HEA! I recommend this book.

Sweet cowboy romance

Graham is a sweet and clean cowboy romance that hits all the marks. It has tender moments, fun and snarky banter, and well developed and interesting characters. It is well very performed by the narrator. I’m definitely going to be looking for more by this author AND the performer.

Wonderful book

This is one of the best books that I have listened to in a while. It had humor action and romance and written so wonderfully well. I can’t wait to listen to book 2! Bravo!

Excellent

A delightful heartwarming story of love. Graham and Julie didn’t click from the first, and a story of how love grew. The narration was good and I enjoyed his male voices especially. Looking forward to more by the author. Given audio for my voluntary review

Hasting brothers

Graham and Julia's first meeting doesn't go so well. I always love how two people who just don't seem to get along or like each other change their tune. Really sweet listen and so enjoyed getting to know the brothers, Alice, Annie, Julia and several others. I was worried toward the end but we get our hea. Looking forward to Alice's book. Really liked the narrator's voice when he was telling the story. His males voices were better than his female ones.

Wonderful Cowboy Story!

I have read several of this author's stories and if you are looking for a clean cowboy story with a good story line then you need to check this one out. I totally enjoyed it!

Sweet story.

A great listen and a wonderful start to a new series about seven cowboy brothers.
