Rocky Mountain Angel

Six Pack Ranch, Book 4

De: Vivian Arend

Narrado por: Tatiana Sokolov

Allison Parker needs a reason to come home—a believable excuse that won’t reveal the real one. Her mother’s hiding a painful truth, and Allison refuses to let her suffer alone. Pretending to be engaged to an old friend seems like the perfect solution, especially when that friend is Gabe Coleman.

Gabe’s got his hands full keeping his family ranch afloat and butting heads with his stubborn father. The last thing he needs is more chaos, but when Allison offers to help in exchange for a fake engagement, he can’t say no. Not to her.

What starts as a favor soon turns into something real. Late nights, stolen kisses, and the kind of quiet understanding neither of them expected. But to move forward, they’ll have to let go of the pain that’s been holding them both back.

A small-town, friends-to-lovers, fake-fiancé romance with family secrets, slow-burn passion, and a tortured cowboy who finally learns that love isn’t weakness—it’s home.

I love this series!

The Six Pack Ranch stories just keep getting better and better. I love fake relationship stories and this one was hot and sweet. Allison needs Gabe’s help and it didn’t take much to convince him to give it. Take a look at the product warning. While there is sadness in the story it is overall much more romantic and upbeat than sad. I think Tatiana Sokolov’s voice will always remind me of Vivian Arend’s stories and I love listening to her.

Things we do for family

She found out her mother is dying and needed a "reason" to be home because her mom didn't know she knows, so He came to her recuse when she asked him pretend with her be engaged! This is sweet and bit sad story with a HEA,

I Loved this book and how they grew together! Sad but Happy!

Cant wait to read and listen to more books~

Great storyline

This is another great book in this series.
Right from the very beginning it grab my attention and kept it.
At times it is emotional and other times it is light hearted that
gives you time to process all that is going on.
The narrator has done a brilliant job of bringing all the characters
alive.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audio book.

Great read!

I really enjoyed this one! I loved finally getting Gabe’s story and really getting to know him. He has been helpful in past books and we know Daniel and him had a pact to make changes and now we get to delve into that. I loved watching Gabe and Allison come together and support one another. I loved how they built their friendship and relationship while pretending to already be together. They just fit and I really loved watching them work things out and take that chance to make things real. This story was really good and had that cute and adorable quality to it even with the heavy things that Allison and Gabe were dealing with. I really enjoyed this one and am excited to see who comes next.
The narrators did a good job with the story and adding that extra dynamic.

Can Angel Boy make good on his dreams?

Rocky Mountain Angel is book 4 in the Six Pack Ranch series and follows Gabe, of the Angel Coleman clan, and Allison.

Gabe is the oldest son of the Angel Coleman boys. He has a brother, Rafe, who is finishing high school and uses any excuse to come visit him and spend time with him in order to get away from his father. Sadly, years ago an accident occurred that caused their father to resent Gabe and become indifferent and abusive.

Allison is the oldest child of her mother. When she learns through a friend that her mom is sick, she returns to Rocky to help take care of her, without letting her know that is what she is doing.

When Rafe catches someone riding their horse wildly with a truck following behind them, he goes after the horse and rider to prevent a catastrophic accident. When he finally settles the horse and realizes it is Allison, he takes her back to his home to find out what happened.

In telling the story of how the truck with teens spooked her horse and she took off running, she also mentions the issue with her mother. She has come up with a reason for her to come back to Rocky and she needs Gabe's help to sell it. She proposes that they say she came back to Rocky because she and Gabe are engaged. (Insert jaw hitting floor sounds).

Needless to say, Gabe is shocked, but agrees to go along with it, as friends. But they will need to make a change to her plan to make it seem real. She will need to move in to his home. Luckily, he has a guest bedroom for her to stay in.

When it comes time to tell the families, Gabe arranges to meet with his mom, Dana, and tell her. He does not want his dad anywhere near Allison. Dana is ecstatic to welcome Allison to the family, which leads both Gabe and Allison to have guilt over perpetrating this lie.

So when it comes time to tell her family, Allison chooses to tell her family alone. Her mom is thrilled, but her brother is not. He has heard rumors about the money problems the Angel Coleman clan is having and he thinks Gabe is trying to get money from her and the family business. If only he knew this was all her idea. Neither her brother nor her sister know about their mom's illness. Her mom does not want them to know. She does not want to worry them or be questioned about her decision.

Ultimately, Allison agrees to help Gabe turn their land in to healthy, organic producing land. Ben, his father, does not want to discuss it with him, so Gabe just moves forward with his plans. Due to a bet made with his father on Canada Day, Gabe is now responsible for the balloon payment due at the end of summer. How will Gabe manage to make this happen?

When the balloon payment comes due, Gabe and two of his uncles, make a land trade deal. Ben is livid and thinks Gabe took money from Allison's mom in order to make the payment. But when the truth comes out, not only did it serve to make the payment, but it will also fast track Gabe's plans.

Meanwhile, Allison watches her mom deteriorate. Gabe arranges for them to get married at her mom's bedside in the hospital. It is not meant to be real, but we all know the old adage about good intentions. When Allison steps out to get a wedding dress and prepare for the ceremony, Gabe receives an envelope from her mom. He agrees to hold the money in trust that she is leaving for Allison. She has no idea of this money, but his father sure found out about it.

So much hatred and resentment in this branch of the Coleman family. It makes me sad to see such a close knit family have one small group like this. Even Uncle Mike tells Ben to cool off. Everyone knows Ben is the problem, but no one seems to be able to do anything about it. Sadly, this wound will only continue to fester. I do not wish ill on anyone, but man he needs to take some chill pills. He is disrespectful to Dana and both of his children.

The confrontation between Gabe and Ben about what happened years ago was epic. I was so glad to see Gabe stand up for himself and call his dad out on his own contribution to what happened.

I love that Gabe has the support of Uncle Mike and his uncle from the Whiskey Creek clan. He will need it going forward in order to implement all of the plans he has for their land. I wish him the best of luck, but know he can do it.

Tatiana Sokolov narrates another Rocky Mountain book. So many emotions go in to this story. She manages to handle the good times and the bad and everything in between.

Dirty Angel Boy

I loved this so much that I listened to it twice!

I'm SO happy that we didn't have to make it through the Six Pack Colemans before one of the cousins stepped up to the plate. Gabriel "Gabe" Coleman, an "Angel Coleman," and Allison Parker are exactly what I expected and needed for Gabe. The chemistry between them shone in a quick scene in an earlier book, and this took it all. The. Way. Home! 🔥☄️🔥

I love where their hearts are when they embark on their fake relationship. I love even more when the heat explodes and things move to that gray area between fake and forever. Even icy cold water can't cool them down.

There's plenty of heartbreak, love, friendship, and more, and I'm here for all of it! Such a good addition to the series.

I read along while listening to a copy of the audio book. The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov. I enjoy listening to her.

Amazing

I love this series. In this story we learn about Gabe and Allison and it was a wonderful experience to listen to. This couple has moments that will keep you on the edge but there ending was spectacular. I am excited for the next one. The narration was spot on.

Best Friends

Rocky Mountain Angel is better than Rocky Mountain Desire. This time the story is about Gabe, the Coleman's cousin.

Gabe and Allison were very good friends. He was able to have Allison help him with obtaining a certified organic farm. So when Allison asked him to be her pretend fiance to make her mom happy that she found someone, Gabe agreed to help her. What both didn't expect to happen was falling in love with each other and afraid to ruin their friendship.

The story provided a very good background of Gabe's past and why his father, Ben is bitter about him. It also show how it build Gabe's character. Unlike his father who is stuck in the past, Gabe was working hard to move from the past into the future.

The narrator, Tatiana Sokolov has finally found her footing in narrating the Six Pack Ranch series. I like her narrative better this time.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
