Cattle Valley #21-25
Cattle Valley Box Set 5
‘The O'Brien Way’
As one of the premier dancers in the hottest all male strip show in Vegas, William 'Moby' Haines had it all, men, money and freedom. When he was called home to Sheridan, Wyoming to care for his ailing mother, Moby's life drastically changed. Gone were the nights of screaming fans and eager to please one night stands. His life became a series of low-paying jobs and escalating medical bills.
Moby's luck turned the day he read an ad in the morning paper for a waiter and barback at O'Brien's Pub. Although a forty-five minute commute to Cattle Valley would mean spending less time with his mother, Moby decided it was his one and only shot at a tolerable life in Wyoming.
Burned once by the love bug, Sean O'Brien had no interest in travelling down that road anytime soon. Although the customers seemed to love his newest hire, Sean was quickly on the verge of firing the sexy stud. The way Moby allowed customers to treat him was disrespectful. If his newest hire wouldn't do anything about it Sean would, even if that meant claiming Moby for himself.
‘Ghost from the Past’
Happily settled in Cattle Valley with the men he loved, Rio Adega wasn't expecting the one call that could bring his world crashing down around him. "Rio, it's Chet. You'd better brace yourself, old friend. Ghost has been recovered, alive. He's asking for you."
In less than a minute, Rio's loyalties are tested. Ghost. The one man Rio owed his entire life to was alive. Not only had he unknowingly left the African jungle thinking his mentor and lover was dead, but he'd managed to move on.
How can Rio make amends to the man who gave him everything, while still holding onto the relationships he's worked so hard to build?
‘Hawk's Landing’
Born a man, Kit always felt cheated out of the life he was meant to live. Growing up in Arkansas, Kit was forced to hide behind the masculine clothes and haircuts favoured by the other boys in the small community. The minute Kit graduated high school, he pushed away the male way of life then reached for her dream of living as a woman. With newly augmented breasts, Kit arrives in Cattle Valley in hopes of gaining acceptance.
Gabe 'Hawk' Hawkins is in search of more than a place to lay his head when he too comes to Cattle Valley. He's on the hunt for his son. When he meets Kit at the local gym, he's knocked sideways by her incredible body and big smile.
It soon becomes clear that there's more to Kit than meets the eye. Luckily for Hawk, he's an equal opportunity lover and won't let the sassy blonde push him away no matter what others say about him. People may not trust Hawk's motives for being in town, but he hopes Kit will look past his mistakes to see the man he longs to be.
‘Shooting Star’
Fleeing Hollywood from damaging and false tabloid reports, Brac Riesling hides out with his friends Kit and Hawk in Cattle Valley. Although he believes he's simply evading intrusive paparazzi, danger lurks just around the corner.
After years spent as a secret soldier for the United States government, new Cattle Valley deputy, Al Jessup believes shielding the television heartthrob from nosy reporters will be an easy assignment. Becoming infatuated with Brac isn't part of the plan, and Jessup struggles to remain professional despite the temptation Brac provides.
When Jessup gives in to his desire and Brac nearly pays for the moment of passion with his life, Jessup vows not to make the same mistake twice. He calls in a favour from the only man he trusts with Brac's life, James "Priest" Evans. Priest agrees to guard Brac at a secret location while Jessup searches for the unknown gunman. Jessup's resolve to put a halt to the budding relationship with Brac is tested when he witnesses the easy-going relationship Brac and Priest have formed after only a few days.
‘Confessions’
Government contracted mercenary, James 'Priest' Evans, slides back into town after a mission gone very wrong. Haunted by his latest kill, Priest's job is weighing heavily on his mind for the first time in memory. In Cattle Valley to heal and re-evaluate his life, Priest didn't expect love but that's exactly where's he's headed.
After a devastating and very public breakup, Luke Hatcher has given up on love. He's more than happy to enjoy hot and heavy sex, but that's as far as he's willing to go. When he runs into Priest, Luke believes their mutual lack of trust is perfect for a short-term holiday affair.
Their steamy affair takes an unexpected turn when Priest makes a bedroom confession that will forever change the way he views life and love. Will the confession bring them closer together, or will it send Luke packing?

The O'Brien Way - Moby and Sean - I love how these people care about each other. I also like how Moby's mom because a part of the relationship slowly. I was nervous when Sean started letting his past make decisions for him but was relieved when it work out for them.
Ghost From the Past - Rio, Nate, Ryan - Wow so much to unpack and past being brought to the present. I was so glad they finally talked and reconnected.
Hawk's Landing - Kit and Hawk - I think this story is a great fit to the series and the message love is love. Kit is a strong woman and deserve the love coming her way. It was also great to see the positive changes Hawk is making too.
Shooting Star - Brac and Jessup - So glad theses two get a story. It was nice that when Brac re-evaluated what he wanted it was in a way that would for both men.
Confessions - Priest and Luke - This one was so emotionally packed. Twists and turns at every corner. Two men who seem to be from completely different worlds yet well suited for each other.

This is an entertaining series. The lovers make you wish you had some of that same loyalty and passion in your own life. The characters are developed. The overall plot is executed well. We learn more about Cattle Valley & its residents with each book.

The O'Brien Way'
Moby is exactly who I would have picked for Sean. And, vice versa. Moby is a spitfire who grew up an only child with a control freak father and a mother who was seriously dominated. Sean is strong, kind, and grew up with no mother in an Irish household full of brothers and a father who ignored him. Talk about perfect for each other.
It was a rocky and slightly bumpy road, no matter how right they were for each other, since neither man had ever had a "real" relationship involving caring and love. A fun ride, though! *grins*
Ghost From The Past
Ahhhh, my guys, Nate, Rio & Ryan. I just can't seem to ever get enough of them. And, oh boy, was this story a smack in the face reminder of why you always need to appreciate your loved ones, especially your partner(s). Rio has been feeling pretty lonely and definitely under appreciated lately, but the call from an old contact at the CIA throws his world into turmoil. It seems his lover has returned from beyond the grave. Ten years have gone by since Rio lost him on a mission. Apparently Jack faked his death to keep the CIA from eliminating Rio. Yeah, I'm with Rio on this one. Why didn't you love him enough to tell the CIA where to stick it?
This was a great addition to the series and really gave me more insight into Rio, much like I was given with Nate in 'Cattle Valley Days'.
Hawk's Landing
I didn't know how I was going to feel about this book going into it. And, that had nothing to do with Kit and all to do with Hawk. I didn't want him coming to Cattle Valley and causing upset for my Bo and Rance. He might be Joey's biological father, but, still.
Kit, I adored. How could I not? She is sweet, charming, beautiful, loyal, honest, and has a great big heart. All I wanted for her was someone to love her for her. And, oh wow, was a Hawk ever perfect for Kit and she made him very happy. I loved these two together! It was really great to see a story regarding transgender and the author did a fantastic job with it.
Shooting Star
I agree with Brac. Big, strong, silent type are HAWT & Jessup definitely is that. He's also got ISSUES and, well, I've got a thing for those kind of men, too. It was so sweet to watch Brac get under Jessup's skin and show the man what he's been missing his whole life. I adored Brac's very non-typical Hollywood attitude. The introduction of Priest, Jessup's best friend, was awesome and I'm super jazzed about his story coming up.
I really liked this story and was thrilled for their HEA.
Confessions
I was happy, happy, joy, joy, to get a book about Priest. Who wouldn't, I ask you? He's an assassin for the government and he's just been played. Now if he can figure out whether his agency knowingly set him up or they were seriously misdirected, he can decide who to make pay for him being forced to kill a woman and her elderly parents. Priest has just about had it with his life and a lot of thoughts he's been having about settling down and Luke are throwing him a curve ball.
I adored Luke, and together these men jumped off the pages at me! Great addition.
