A Little 4th of July Fiasco

Holidays at Rawhide Ranch #28

by Kate Oliver

These Daddies are finally coming out of the Shadows... straight to Rawhide Ranch.

When a group of Littles beg and plead for a vacation to the one place where all their Little dreams can come true, what Daddy could possibly resist?

Not Knox and his brothers, that's for sure. Which is how they, along with their dad, find themselves herding nine bouncing, excited Little girls to Rawhide.

And right into a week full of shenanigans, pranks, and hot, red bottoms.

But even the biggest, toughest Daddies aren't immune to the magic of the Ranch, and by the time they pack their bags to leave, all of their lives will be forever changed…

The Javier family is going to Rawhide Ranch for the Fourth of July. The family is made up of men who were fostered by Leo and his late wife. All are Daddies and their littles wanted to come to Rawhide Ranch for vacation. While there, their littles get into some pretty big shenanigans. Will the men be able to stop them? Will they be allowed to come back?

I enjoyed this book. I wish I had read Kate Oliver's Daddies of the Shadows series first to know who went with whom and how they got together but I still enjoyed the littles antics and the story. Sadie is actively involved also. I chuckled as they plotted their pranks as well as knowing they would be disciplined for them. Each Daddy/little pair had their own dynamics. None were the same. I liked these characters. I loved the unicorns as well as the punishment for the unicorns. I will be reading the Daddies in Shadows series. I am totally enjoying the Rawhide Ranch series.

Without a doubt my favorite series mash-up.

This story kept the feel of the Daddies of the Shadows series while integrating the life and people of Rawhide beautifully.

Oh there was so much mischief...I didn't realize just how naughty the Shadows Littles truly are until they are all together!! Plus add in some of THE naughtiest Rawhide Littles and let's just say, Go Big Or Go Home fit their pranks SO well. 🤣🤣

I've been struggling with the goodbyes coming for the Shadows crew (only one book left in the series) so I was THRILLED that Kate teased a future Christmas visit to the ranch. So it's not goodbye, it's we'll see you soon. 💜🩵

Wow! What a fantastic story. I haven’t laughed so much at the antics of a bunch of Littles for a long time. This story was delightful and told of a family of brothers who found their Littles and celebrated their lives at the Rawhide Ranch on a family vacation that was full of Little high jinks and mischief galore. Ending with a wedding ceremony for all but three couples. A well written story about beautiful characters. I’m definitely going to read each couple’s story by this delightful author.

This is a such a fun holiday for the daddies and Littles. This felt like a reunion of characters and family. It is a sweet read with a lot of heart.

I loved seeing all the brothers and the sweet Littles!! I absolutely loved that they all got married!! I thought the unicorn prank was hilarious!!

[Troubleinfl (Dee) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Apparently, I never got the memo that Kate Oliver wrote a series of DDlg books called "Daddies of the Shadows". Characters from those books are featured here as they go to Rawhide Ranch to celebrate the 4th of July.

(NOTE: there is a box set of the first 3 books here:

https://www.amazon.com/Daddies-Shadow...

The remaining 7 books are available individually.)

Back to the book review: The arrival of 18 guests at Rawhide Ranch results in pranks, which sometimes don't go quite as planned. This book is part of the "Holidays at Rawhide Ranch" series, and it doesn't disappoint. All of the Rawhide Ranch titles are lots of fun to read.

If you enjoy the caretaking aspect of Daddy Doms, I highly recommend this title. I can't wait to go back to the DDOS series to read more about these characters. Editing/proofreading is excellent and the book end with an extra special HEA. Enjoy!.

The Perfect Blend of Two Fantastic Series

This book is everything I didn't know I wanted but it turned out to be everything I needed! It was the perfect blend of two of my favorite series - Rawhide Ranch and Daddies of the Shadows. Ms. Oliver gave me all the joy and littleness of Rawhide and did it with the characters that I have fallen in love with. One of my favorite things is to revisit characters from previous books and see how they are doing and this gave me an entire book dedicated to just that. I love seeing the Littles feel safe and secure after some rough starts and watching the Daddies take care od them and love them made my own heart happy. And I won't spoil anything but that ending !!!! Let me just say if you are a fan of the Daddies od the Shadows, you will not be disappointed. This whole book was the happily ever after each couple deserved and a satisfying end for the reader.

Except for Dr. Tate (whose story will be told in August), all the other Daddies from Kate Oliver’s Daddies of the Shadows series were at Rawhide Ranch for a week’s vacation. Coincidentally, that was also the week of the 4th of July. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the Daddies of the Shadows and their Littles since Ms. Oliver introduced Knox and Addison (Addie) in May of 2022. It was great to catch up with them and see that all were more in love than ever. Aside from the usual “naughtiness” perpetrated by the Littles at the Ranch, there was a surprise ending which was enjoyed by all. I will leave details of both the naughtiness and the surprise to readers of this sweet and funny Rawhide Ranch story. It is a two-fer; a Rawhide Ranch holiday story AND an addition to the Daddies of the Shadows series.

Fun inside! By MeemsAngel82

How cute was this?! The couples are great and it is nice to catch up with them. I was so happy to realize we were getting a fun story that was filled with several couples. And to top if off? They vacation at a very special Little place.

Vacation time? No problem! There is a perfect spot for that!

I haven't read all the couples that were involved here, shame on me! I so wish I had though you don't have to to enjoy this story. But still it would have been awesome of me. The writing is fun and the couples are so cute together. Not to mention sexy. I so want to read about the couples I have missed. It's so nice to have place and a Daddy to take care of you and feel protected. It is a very special relationship and seems fantastic! I was more than happy to read about this happy, cozy, loving, naughty, sexy and mischievous bunch!

This was a great follow up story from the Daddies of the Shadows series. These characters are some of my absolute favorites and being able to revisit them and see the interactions between the different Daddies and their little girls was like coming home. I wish we could have had a little more of Leo and Claire, but I realize there were a lot of characters to get in this story. We also got to visit some RR favorites so that was great too. Kate Oliver has become one of my absolute favorite authors and I'm so happy for this story. Christmas is just around the corner so maybe we'll get another Shadow Daddy/Little girl story soon.

This was one fabulous story, it includes all of the Javier Men and their littles going to Rawhide Ranch for a holiday, and what a holiday they had.
And of course it cant be Rawhide Ranch and the littles without the littles getting into mischief, gosh i just loved these littles they really are funny with the antics they get up to. Then the daddies wouldnt be good daddies without giving them a spanking they usually so richly deserve (lol)

If you havnt read any of the littles and their mens story by Kate Oliver then i really encourage you to do so. Each story is so good and unique to read and im so glad that Kate got to include her littles and their men in the Rawhide series.

Once again this really is a must read book, im sure you will absolutely love it.!!.

Addie talks her Daddy, Knox, into taking her and their family on a vacation to Rawhide Ranch during the week of Fourth of July. They're all Littles and Daddies, so they're bound to have fun! Naturally, shenanigans happen, because that's part of going to Rawhide Ranch. When their Fourth of July prank goes wrong, there are a lot of red, hot bottoms.

The Rawhide Ranch series is so much fun! Each book is better than the last. Kate Oliver wrote a really good one here. The Javier family had a great time, of course, and a fantastic surprise ending was just icing on the cake. I could gush some more, but I will just say this one is not to be missed, and absolutely worth the one click!.

Addie convinces Knox that the whole family needs a vacation, and they
all need to go the Rawhide Ranch, but her excitement for this adventure
was rewarded with a red bottom because she was running in the house.
This story is filled with excitement, surprises and when the girls meet Sadie
and her band of littles shenanigans follow along with the biggest Prank that
will go down in history. The Biggest surprise of all will happen before the
first fire cracker explodes in the sky above. This is a quick and sweet read.

This is part of the Holidays at Rawhide Ranch series. You do not need to read the others in the series to enjoy this story. This is also a crossover from Daddies of the Shadows. Once again, reading that series first is optional.

The Little girls want a vacation with their Daddies, so everyone flies off to Rawhide Ranch for a week. While there, the Little girls overstep their boundaries and pay for their mistakes but are always forgiven and loved. This is a fun story to read, with many of my favorite characters making an appearance. This is a great story!.

I received an advance copy from Booksprout, and this is my honest review.

[Jennifer Kee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved the author’s Daddies of the Shadow series and was super excited to see the whole group at Rawhide Ranch. It was nice to see the girls bond with some of the characters from Rawhide Ranch and of course we got pranks and shenanigans. There were 9 couples on the trip and each chapter alternates between the couples. However, we didn’t get a POV from each couple, only half of them. That made me sad. The couples that didn’t get a chapter were rarely mentioned and had maybe one or two lines a piece. I was especially sad not to get a chapter or two from Angel/Nora. Besides that, the story was great with a big surprise near the end of the book.

[Merilu Keenum · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kate Oliver is Awesome and so is this Daddy and their Little girls holiday vacation! Lots of love, laughs, spankings, and glitter. Knox and Addie were the first couple to find each other and as each brother found their woman the family grew to epic heights.

Rawhide Ranch is such a fun place to visit and live that it inspires magical memories. Master Derek is gruff but a true Daddy: discipline for naughty behavior with complete love and forgiveness always. I loved the surprise ending! Hopefully we’ll get to visit with these couples and see what the girls get themselves into.

OMG! Wow, this was certainly one mesmerising book to read, the story was exhilarating and the characters were absolutely captivating. This story was about Addie and Knox, Addie looked into a holiday at Rawhide Ranch and it caters for all so she talked to Knox. Knox asked his family about it and told his brothers their little's can be little for the duration of their holiday. This story had me in tears with laughter with little's, and the Daddies enjoyed it because they get to start spanking their little.

This is a star packed story with nine couples, Daddies and their Little’s, from previous books for a grand vacation at Rawhide Ranch. When you have that many Little’s arrive at the ranch and then add the Little’s already there, there is nothing but absolute fun, pranks and a heavy dose of love. I absolutely love how the author brought all of these individuals together for a fun filled story. If you love Little’s and the men who love them, you will enjoy this story.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. I loved that Kate brought the Daddies of the Shadows and their Littles to Rawhide Ranch. We got a few of the couples point of views and the rest were in the back story. It didn't lessen the fun, mischief and trouble that the Littles stir up. I laughed until I cried over the unicorns. It was just perfect. I am looking forward to reading Tate next. I think Kate brings a perfect mix of DDlg, D/s and loving relationships. I also just read Kade and I think that is going to be part of a great MC series from three great authors

[Bella · Rating 5 out of 5]

What happens when you mix Unicorns, glitter and fireworks?
This book is so much fun. It has it all. The feel good emotion, the littles all working together to cause a fiasco, the sweetness of little friends, some hilarious moments and some very HOT scenes!
This book is well written and the author’s use of multiple points of view helps the reader gain a greater understanding of the thought process of the characters. This is a fun, read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A great addition to the rawhide ranch series!

[Arin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book made me fall in love with the wonderful grumpy obsession over protective men I now have the dark shadows series on my to buy list! These women are so unique just like their men they have so much to offer. I am happy I gave this book a shot now I have another author on my favorites list she gives so much in her writing. Mystery, chemistry, choice family, crazy surprises full of trouble makers, self growth, patience, steamy moments and plenty of laughter! One thing that a truly love about this book is that all the characters are allowed to be themselves without judgement among so much more! This book is a great read and keeper for sure! If you’re looking for a fun heartwarming with multiple points of views and loving ddlg content this is awesome choice for you!.:)

This is only my second rawhide ranch book and it was absolutely wonderful. If you love Kate Oliver's Daddy's of the Shadows series you are going to love this fun mashup! You get to experience every couple and relive for their stories. The Littles get into trouble (because why not) and a fun celebration of the Fourth of July is the perfect mix. This book is a great ending for her series and it does not disappoint!!

Such a fun story. Poor Rawhide Ranch will never be the same.

Greatest prank ever. Absolute chaos! I laughed myself silly with the innovative antics of this unusual and very large group of Littles.

I will definitely have to check out the Daddies Of The Shadows stories to see how they all got together and became such an entertaining group of characters.

Loved, loved, loved the ending!.

The littles and their daddies from “daddies of the shadows” series and they go on vacation to the rawhide ranch (a place where “littles” can be littles 24/7) where they meet Derek and Trevor and their littles.

This book was not only cute because the littles get into “trouble” (example a party where glitter happens) but there’s also a lot of spice. I really enjoy reading DD/LG dynamics in books.

If you liked “daddies of the shadows” series than read this!

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

[Katy Beth Mckee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Even though I haven’t read the series where you get to me all these great couples it was an enjoyable story. There is enough information that you feel you understand the characters. I imagine if you’ve read the series this would feel like a wonderful reunion. While the whole family is there the story really focuses on 4 of the couples. This also lets you get a bit deeper. This was a fun story with pranks and lots of love but with the focus on established couples there wasn’t any big angst.

[Helen Green · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a fun read

I loved Kate Oliver's 4th of July for the installment of Rawhide Ranch series. In my opinion you won't get the best of the charters unless you read her Daddies of the Shadows first. You really learn about the couples before the vacation. I loved the pranks they pulled, I laughed a lot and it was so fun, definitely these characters needed some enjoyment. Another win

[Leslie Mccullough · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was one EPIC Rawhide Ranch family vacation! Kate Oliver, you really rocked this.

What's more special than a Daddy and his LG spending their vacation at Rawhide Ranch? An ENTIRE family of brothers and their Pop, along with each of their Little Girls spending the 4th of July at Rawhide Ranch. So many shenanigans and even a surprise or two happen in this very special Rawhide Ranch adventure! Kate Oliver, I'd give you more than 5 stars if it was an option!

[Rebecca Grove · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the Rawhide Ranch series even though it is written by different authors. I had never read Kate Oliver before. Her story about a whole family of Daddies and Littles coming to the ranch for the 4Th was sweet and funny. I enjoyed it so much that I am going to read the Daddies of the Shadows series where the daddies and littles first met.

Can't Wait!

I hope Kate Oliver makes a book with the little again at Christmas time on the ranch. It was really good the way she wrote the chapters of each of the Daddies and Littles. That way they each got separated stories in the ranch and you could imagine it better. What went on with each Little family and in the heads. Loved the ranch also and the fact that almost all of them got married at the same time. That would be epic in real life, not just a story.
