Rooster Mannin is happy with the life he’s created. He should be happy surrounded by family in the place where he grew up, but lately, he has started to feel like something important is missing. With a thriving business in the mountains of Red River, New Mexico and a little girl who holds his entire heart in his hands, Rooster loves not just his life, but his job, his home, and the comfort he’s found after years spent in prison for a crime he still has no remorse for committing.

Rosie Jacobs has lived in Rojo her entire life, an integral part of the group of friends who are more like family, but for some reason, she feels like it’s time for a change. She has a successful career, a home of her own, and a life that most people can only dream about. Even though she knows she should be happy, there’s one thing she wants to accomplish and staying in the comfortable life she’s made for herself won’t help her reach her goal.

A chance encounter and then weeks of silence makes Rooster and Rosie’s next meeting quite a shock, but their close proximity to each other gives them the opportunity to explore what they’ve both wanted since the night they first met.

If it’s meant to be, it will happen . . . but what a strange and curious way to start a relationship.

Great book

This author can make the most random meeting between two characters seamlessly flow between 1. A romance of the ages and 2. Like coming home within all of the found family. This book was no exception.

Rosie and Rooster had quite the first meeting, sad that there couldn't have been more from it. So how funny was it that Rosie randomly ended up at the resort that Rooster owned with this family. Rooster's family dynamic was interesting, but it worked for them and didn't seem odd for Rosie, who is used to the odd family dynamics that are in Rojo.

It was fun to see Rooster and Rosie dance around each other before both were on the same page. But the most fun came when Rooster did something normal of helping one of his MC brothers and you could tell he thought this would potential ruin things between them. Instead Rosie jumped right in and knew who to call for help and was not phased in the least and even knew the guy. This right here sealed the deal for Rooster. And while they did have a few things to work out, they managed to by the end of the book and were well on their way to being happy together.

Man I thought I loved Dubs Book; Well Rooster just blew him out the water. I absolutely loved every second of this book. Rooster is the kind of Man most women want. He’s rough around the edges with a heart of gold. And him with his sister and daughter. If that doesn’t melt you into Goo Nothing will.
Let’s not forget Rosie who’s a force to be reckoned with all on her own and a heart of gold. Even if she has her track shoes on sometimes.
I love the characters and how the stories intertwining with one another. All I can say is Cee must have a lot of Spreadsheets to keep them all straight.
The best part is they ate relatable characters, situations, humor and love. What more could you want. If you haven’t started this series. Don’t want any longer. You are missing out.

Rooster

I had really bad days for the last four days but this evening was the worst. Everything caught up with me and I felt myself flying into pieces. I had been holding on to Rooster, saving it I guess and the next Cee book has been released so I decided I was just finished with the weekend and was going to read my way into Monday. Once again Cee rescued me with the love and unending patience she shows in her words. Seeing our Rosie meet the love of her life, Rooster, calmed me down. Seeing them interact with both his family and hers made me smile and seeing some of our old friends made me want to go home to Rojo. I often wish I could be a part of the Rojo family and they are my go to escape read. Thanks for sharing the voices in you head with us.

Fantastic read!

I have been looking forward to this book for quite some time and was not disappointed. Totally worth the wait!!!

Rooster and Rosie are the featured couple but we get a whole host of absolutely amazing supporting characters. We also get to visit with some old friends, learn a bit more about people we’ve briefly met in the past and discover more connections in the entwined universe Cee Bowerman is creating.

I loved this story. And I do t know what I can say beyond that. These 2 characters are fantastic together. So sweet and just an amazing couple. Their story has a little bit of drama, a lot of love and spicy good stuff. Fantastic read!!!!

A definite must read book and series!

This was another fantastic story by this incredibly talented author, as well as a terrific addition to the series. I love the quirky characters, the absolutely hilarious banter, the crazy antics, drama, angst, and the intriguing twists. Although the stories are fictional, they all have down to earth and realistic qualities that make the stories more relatable to everyone. This is certainly a must read book and series!
I would definitely recommend reading all of this author's books.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

Rooster & Rosie

OMG!!! Yes! This is absolutely the best of both worlds - or more. Rooster, from Timed Served MC. Rosie, from Rojo. And even some guests from Colorado Springs. Add in Rooster’s family - between his daughter, sister and ex-wife. Just yes. Everything about this story made me so happy! And the end? Tears of happiness! I love reading Cee’s books when they come out but I’m always so sad to say goodbye at the end! I’m just going to let this marinate and then come back and read it all again!!! So freaking good!!! 💜💜

Curious and Strange

Cee Bowerman has once again added to the crazy world she has created for her readers. The Time Served MC Nomads crossing over to the second generation of her previous series makes my heart so happy. I love Rooster, Kerrigan and Mads. Rosie and Rooster meet at a family wedding and have a one night stand. Weeks later Rosie ends up at the resort Rooster runs with his ex-wife and his sister. The shenanigans begin and the laughs keep going. I can't wait for the next story in this wild and crazy fabulous world!!

Rooster and Rosie spend a great night together then the next morning Rosie is gone thinking they wont see each other again it’s definitely a shock when they see one another again. They are doing great but then Rosie gets spooked and runs again thanks to some blunt advice she heads back. Their story really is great and the all the characters are amazing. With Roosters family and Rosies Rojo crew you know you are gonna have some laughs. You cannot go wrong with this series and author. I recommend all her books.

Rooster and Rosie's story was an absolute delight! The way they meet and then meet again was stellar. The more they got to know about each other, the more obvious it was how perfect they were together. Every single time I open one of CB's books, I am just tickled pink. The realness of her characters, the way they intertwine across multiple series is like an Easter egg contest. The humor and intelligence of the characters just sparkle, every single time. If you aren't reading this author, you really should be!

Soooo good!!

This book was so good. Rosie and Rooster made a fantastic couple. Family is so important to both that it made it so easy to blend them together without any jealousy or drama. Well, there was some drama, but the good hilarious kind. It was so good to see so many characters from the other series and see their craziness this family is always a good time. The epilogue melted my heart. I really loved Mads, and Rosie made her dreams come true!

Another knockout by Cee Bowerman. I’m absolutely loving this Nomand Series. Rooster & Rosies book is pure magic. Great build into their story, From past to future. Absolutely loved Madison (Mads). Love that Cee adds these beautiful characters into her books & brings them to life.

Rooster is living up to his name. He is a protector & fighter for the people he loves & considers family. The magic Rosie & Him bring together is beautiful.

Cant wait for the next Nomad book now!

Nomads with a touch of Rojo

Cee Bowerman weaves her worlds together again seamlessly. Rosie and Rooster’s story drew me in and was over too soon. Appearances from a few other Nomads and Rosie’s family added to the entertainment. There is even a surprise or two. I can’t wait to see what we hear from characters like Okie, Ajax, Jewel, Flora, Fauna, and maybe even Sandy in the future.

Rooster by Cee Bowerman

This is a continuation of the nomads of Time Served MC series. It is Rooster and Rosie’s story. They met at a wedding and had one night together. They both remember that night. They meet again when Rosie books a cabin to write a book and meets Rooster again. Neither handle that well. Much drama later they get their HEA. Read the book to find out how-it is a great read.

Rooster

Cee Bowerman has done it again! Rooster and Rosie’s story was Amazing. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the “Nomads” of The Timed Served MC and can’t wait for the next….I can’t decide if I want Okie’s or Ajax’s story? I’m praying they involve Sandie, Jewel, Flora, and Fauna. I love how all Cee’s stories inter connect. The Kings and Time Served MC’s are my absolute Favorites and can’t wait to read more of their ever growing families and adventures.

OMG!!

I don’t think I could form the words to tell you how much I love this book! I have tears in my eyes as I’m writing this, because the ending just caused such a strong emotion in me.
No one writes like Cee Bowerman. She just tugs at your heartstrings as she creates such beautiful stories. These characters are the best, and I have loved each and every one of the books written about them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always easy to read

I love the simplicity of a Cee Bowerman book, they are always so easy to read and put a smile on your face. This book had such a heartwarming feel to it and the whole blended family trope was so lovely to experience. The nomad series has been awesome so far and I can't wait to get the rest of the books, loving how it intertwines with all the other series as well.

Rooster and Rosie

Oh wow, such a fantastic story and I love how so many different characters were woven in this book. It was great that Rooster and Rosie had previously met at a friend's wedding, and then they just so happen to meet up again.
I totally adore Madison and Kerrigan. The relationship that he has with his ex and her husband is wonderful and fascinating as well, not to mention business partners.

Highly recommend and it keeps you turning the pages!

Rosie & Rooster

The bridge you've gapped between The Time Served nomads and the whole Rojo crowd is beyond enjoyable!
You even brought in the Colorado group!!
Cee Bowerman did it again. She wrote another book that will have an honored place in my library.
Thank you Ms Bowerman!! You always have the ability to make me laugh, cry, laugh some more and make me want to live in your books. That's an awesome feat!

She’s done it again

I’m so invested, and addicted to the families in these books. I get butterflies every time a new book comes out! I wait anxiously for the next one. If I hadn’t quit biting my nails years ago, I’d be doing that while waiting for the next story. I love how much the Kings and Knights have grown their families. I’m hooked on finding out what’s happening with their kids. I’m so in love with these characters.

Surprise Encounter

Rooster and Rosie had me laughing so much and I have no sense of humor! Cee Bowerman has become one of my favorite authors. Time Served is one of my favorite MCs. Her books have so much compassion, justice and topics that represent the underdog. People who are taken for granted but the characters of Time Served always fight for them no matter how it's accomplished justice is always served.

Tears of joy

Describing mass was beautiful, I didn't realise she had downs until you actually wrote it. Her pure heart just captured mine. Roosters love for her is so humbling. He's got a heart of gold. This whole book had me going thru all the emotions. Ajax is still crazy, and the twins are nuts, jewel is still jewel. Sandi was new loved her. Again another great book. Thank you for sharing the journey

LOVED IT!

Okay! I have decided, and I don't think it's jumping the gun, that all of Ms C.ee's books are gonna be 5 star rated!🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠 I never thought that I would find an author that writes the way I like to read, if that makes any sense! Maybe I should say that she writes the way I think, but then that makes me sound like a nut bag! If the shoe fits wear it😅 All I know is Ms Cee. is one of the most talented writers I've ever read and I've been reading for a very long time!

Rooster was a great read! Kudos to Bowerman.

This book was rich with family! The depth of love, respect and joy fill these pages to weave a beautiful tale that the reader can appreciate and sink into. Rosie and the fam are hilarious and we receive many belly laughs. Cluck Norris the rooster from hell that says it all. Right. The Nomad series has turned out to be a huge surprise of outstanding connections to the Rojo and Colorado Spring families. Loved it, read it.

It started ok, and would have given 3*, but waaaaaaaaaaaay too many characters! Is is everyone's story or the M&FL story? Seems like it was everyone's and I really don't have an interest in ex-wives, sisters that take up more than half the book family, friends and some loudmouth twins named Flora & Fauna - really? It was annoying and the epilogue was the same. I would have enjoyed a more developed story between the leads and not all the info on others, just ruined the book.
