Sagebrush Cowboys #4
Saddles and Snowstorms
A solitary cowboy. A fiery new vet in town. And the snowstorm that will thaw their hearts.
Rowan:
Moving to Sagebrush, Texas, was supposed to be my chance to start over. As a veterinarian fresh out of a bad breakup and a chaotic city life, I wanted peace—a quiet practice, a small-town community, and maybe, just maybe, a place to finally call home.
What I didn’t expect was Brooks Callahan.
Brooks is the kind of cowboy you’d find in a country song—rugged, stubborn, and fiercely independent. When he shows up at my clinic with an injured calf, I see a man weighed down by the world but too proud to ask for help. The sparks between us are instant, but his gruff demeanor keeps me at arm’s length.
Until the snowstorm.
Being stuck together in a tiny cabin during a blizzard wasn’t on my to-do list. And neither was ending up in bed with him. But seeing Brooks vulnerable changes everything. Beneath his gruff exterior is a man with a quiet strength and a heart he’s terrified to show. As I care for him, walls start to crumble, and the tension between us ignites into something neither of us can deny.
Brooks:
I don’t have time for distractions, especially not Rowan Walsh. The new vet is sharp, quick-witted, and frustratingly charming. He’s also trouble—a city boy who doesn’t understand how life out here works. I told myself to keep my distance, but that’s easier said than done when he keeps showing up just when I need him most.
Like the night I got caught in the worst freak blizzard Sagebrush has seen in decades. I’d been out checking on a calf when I took a spill on the ice and tore my leg up bad. By the time Rowan found me, I was barely conscious. He managed to get me back to my cabin, and crawled into my bed to keep me from freezing to death. But when passion took over, neither of us could resist. And now we’re snowed in together, with no way out and nowhere to hide.
Rowan’s presence in my home—and my life—is both infuriating and intoxicating. He challenges me in ways no one else ever has, and he makes me want things I’ve spent years convincing myself I couldn’t have. But when the storm clears, reality sets in. The life he’s looking for might not include a rancher with a past like mine.
As the snow melts and reality sets back in, we’re left with a retreat to the safety of our old lives or take a chance on something neither of us expected to find. Can a guarded rancher like me and a restless veterinarian build something lasting in the heart of Sagebrush, or will the storm that brought us together leave us both out in the cold?
Snowstorms and Saddles is a tender, steamy romance about healing, vulnerability, and the unshakable bond forged in life’s harshest storms. Set against the rugged backdrop of Texas ranch country, Rowan and Brooks’s story will leave you believing in the power of love to weather anything.

Another pleasant time spent in Sagebrush, this time in the middle of winter, with two new characters: Brooks and Rowan. Brooks is a loner who has lived in Sagebrush since he was born. Rowan arrives from the city, having lost everything, in search of peace and quiet. Rowan and Brooks couldn't be more different, yet they share a common love of animals. Rowan discovers a new life, a new environment and a new way of doing his job as a vet, with patients different from those he could meet in the city. And with that, he learns to love the quiet of the small town, the life and rhythm very different from this kind of environment.
Brooks has always denied his sexuality, but Rowan forces him to confront his fears - the fear of revealing his sexuality, but above all the fear of losing yet another loved one. Brooks has not been spared by life, and it takes all Rowan's perseverance and a lot of courage on his part for him to open up to the possibility of finding happiness with Rowan.
I love the dynamic of the characters, seeing them make mistakes only to overcome them and fight against themselves to accept the happiness that lies ahead.
Another beautiful story of love and courage, in this intriguing city.
The writing is masterful, with precise characterizations, descriptions of landscapes and plenty of spice and heat.

Encore un agréable moment passé à Sagebrush, cette fois en pleine hiver, avec deux nouveaux personnages : Brooks et Rowan. Brooks est un solitaire qui vit à Sagebrush depuis qu'il est né. Rowan débarque de la ville après avoir tout perdu pour venir chercher le calme. Rowan et Brooks ne peuvent pas être plus différents et pourtant ils se rejoignent sur leur amour commun pour les animaux. Rowan découvre une nouvelle vie, un nouvel environnement et une nouvelle manière de faire son métier de vétérinaire, avec des patients différents de ceux qu'ils pouvaient rencontrer en ville. Et avc ça, il apprend à aimer le calme de la petite cité, la vie et le rythme bien différents de ce genre d'environnement.
Brooks a toujours nié sa sexualité mais Rowan l'oblige à affronter ses peurs, celle de dévoiler sa sexualité, mais surtout celle de perdre encore un être cher. Brooks n'a pas été épargné par la vie et il faut toute la persévérance de Rowan et beaucoup de courage de sa part pour qu'il s'ouvre à la possibilité de trouver le bonheur avec Rowan.
J'aime la dynamique des personnages, les voir faire des erreurs pour les surmonter et se battre contre eux-mêmes pour accepter le bonheur qui s'offre à eux.
Encore une belle histoire d'amour et de courage, dans cette intriguante cité.
Une écriture maîtrisée qui nous offre toujours avec précision les sentiments des personnages, la description des paysages et beaucoup d'épices et de chaleur.

Sweet mm romance, with city boy vet Rowan, and grumpy isolated cowboy Brooks. I loved the story and atmosphere, and how the supportive friendship group links to the other couples stories.
The snowed in / forced proximity tension worked so well, and I enjoyed the patience, honesty and courage.
Great characters, great spice, and swoony small town vibes.

Can't wait for the next book!!!!!
Thank you - Lori

This is book 4 in this series – and I keep loving it. I devoured this book. There is not one thing I didn't like. I could understand Brooks so well. Left by everyone he loved, he built thick walls around him. And then there is Rowan, you just have to love Rowan. No necessary drama, but all the emotions, and understanding, amazing side characters, and what I love the most is you see the characters from the previous books again. There is a wonderful HEA waiting for you, with some struggles along the way. Loved it.

Rowan et Brooks avec un Culomètre à 🍑🍆
Quoi de mieux qu'une romance de cow-boys signée Astreus Rosewood pour passer un bon moment de lecture !
Rowan s'installe comme vétérinaire à Sagebrush après un coup bas de son ex. Impatient de commencer une nouvelle vie, il goute très vite au métier de vétérinaire dans une ville rural et fait la rencontre de Brooks, un éleveur en marge de la ville.
C'est fou comme les mécaniques de la romance marchent trop bien sur moi, même si elles sont vues et revues. Brooks est l'archétype du mec qui ne veut plus de relations après avoir été abandonné par les personnes qu'il aimait et est devenu un homme grognon et renfermé. Et c'est, bien-sûr, Rowan qui lui est avenant, qui va briser peu à peu sa carapace.
Pas besoin de trop en faire pour créer une histoire où le lecteur se sent bien : des personnages bien construits, avec un peu de traumatismes, histoire de leur donner un fond exploitable, une romance où le désir est bien présent et des moments domestiques, légèrement forcés (merci la tempête de neige) !
Il n'en faut parfois pas plus pour ravir le cœur des lecteurs et, comme les autres tomes, cette romance m'a eu avec plaisir ! Bref, c'était tooooop ! Maintenant, DUSTIIIIIIIIIIIIN !

4.25 stars!
This is book four in the author’s Sagebrush Cowboys series and features Rowan, the new town vet and Brooks, the town hermit.
Brooks preferred his own company to that of most anyone else, had in fact, worked hard to keep it that way. Caring for someone always resulted in pain and he’d had more than enough of that in the last twenty years, thank you very much; he was happier alone. Until he had to call the new city boy vet to come check on his cow and new calf, that is. There was something about Rowan that made his cherished quiet feel lonely but better lonely than the pain of being left alone again.
Rowan left Austin after his ex got him fired from his job and moved to the little town of Sagebrush, TX as the new vet but was a little lonely until he met the grumpy rancher and a few other couples who called Sagebrush home like Beau and Lucas, Logan and Dakota and Colt and Eli from the three previous books in the series. (And speaking of Colt, I loved him in Blood and Bravado—here, not so much. He came across as a fickle, attention seeking, player in this one which was a turnoff for me.) Rowan couldn’t help but be attracted to the taciturn rancher but Brooks kept running hot and cold frustrating the young vet to no end—did Brooks even KNOW what he wanted?
I loved Rowan, he was the sweetest guy! Brooks, he was ok, I definitely felt for him, but I thought he was a little wishy washy. Rowan had to forgive so much with him and struggled to know where he stood. I really wanted better for Rowan. All in all, even though it wasn’t my favorite, I enjoyed the book. Brooks did finally get his head out of his rear end and became someone worthy of sweet Rowan so I was happy for that but it cost it. 4.25 stars!

Brooks is a grumpy man who prefers to be alone - for some good reasons. Rowan had his life turned upside down, but still wants connection and community. Both are very good at what they do and are strong, determined men. There is an instant attraction that Rowan would like to persue, but Brooks shuts him down. They cross paths many times, more than Brooks would like, but it isn't until an accident and an unexpected blizzard happens that changes begin to happen. Honest conversations lead to friendship, companionship, and some sexy times. When the storm passes, Brooks tries to get back to the way he was before, but Rowan has awakened something in him - hope and possibilities. For Rowan, now that he knows the man and the softness beneath the grump, he's more determined than ever to keep him and patience is the key. An unexpected visit for Rowan sends Brooks back to being closed off and blocking all communication. With a little help, Rowan figures out a way to get Brooks to speak to him, laying everything on the line, and hoping for the best. Genuine love finds a way to bind these two deserving men, and leads them to a sweetly satisfying HEA.
There are many secondary characters that add depth to this story and help our MC's along the way.
I received an ARC that has some typos and a couple inconsistencies that will hopefully be resolved for the final copy. This review is my honest opinion.

The Sagebrush Cowboys series is a delightful exploration of romance in a small Texas town. This fourth installment delves into the lives of Rowan, a veterinarian seeking a fresh start, and Brooks, a reclusive rancher hiding his true self for too long. Both characters face personal challenges that are beautifully woven together, highlighting the theme of love and acceptance.
Rowan, freshly blacklisted from his profession in Austin by his ex-boyfriend, embraces the opportunity to buy a retiring veterinarian’s small practice in Sagebrush. Brooks, a lifelong resident of this close-knit community, is deeply connected to his animals yet emotionally distant from the people around him. Their paths cross when Rowan tends to Brooks’ calf, igniting emotions that Brooks has buried for years. As each chapter unfolds, readers witness the struggle and triumph of two men learning to embrace their feelings.
One of the most lovable aspects of the Sagebrush Cowboys series is how the characters from the previous books are carried over, and new characters are added. The LGBT community in this small Texas town showcases the power of friendship and support, helping each other through their respective journeys. With every interaction, the bond among characters adds depth to the storyline and reinforces the notion that love can flourish in the most unexpected places.
Reflecting on my journey through all four books, I’m eager to dive into the next chapter of the Sagebrush Cowboys saga.

Brook has lived in Sagebrush since birth, having lost everyone who meant something to him, now he lives alone thinking this is the way to protect his heart. What he doesn't expect is Rowan, the new vet who smashes down the walls he has created.
I really enjoyed this story, understanding why Brook was the way he was and I enjoyed reading about his daily routine on his ranch. Rowan was also an instantly liked character and hearing his story on why he ended up in Sagebrush showed how brave he was to continue doing the job he loved and he never forced Brook to do something he didn't want to do.
The snowstorm gave me one of my now favourite troupes and I loved watching them get closer. The calf that caused them to meet in the first place had me laughing at his antics until it required a vet and then I wanted to know if he was OK.
The usual miscommunication but I really loved the makeup. Dolly was her usually lovely meddling self and I loved how all the characters met up.
I know who is next and I cannot wait as I have been wanting his HEA from the moment he was introduced.

I've fallen totally, hopelessly, head-over-heels in love! The only problem is, I don't know who stole my heart more: Brooks or Rowan?
Their story is so consuming that I literally read it in one sitting.
I genuinely have no words to describe how the small town of Sagebrush and the quiet, lonely rancher, Brooks—who loved his animals more than himself—absolutely captivated me this afternoon.
I'm so glad that my lengthy research into what book to read next led me to discover this absolute gem. And I'm so happy that Rowan came to Sagebrush and started to break through the wall Brooks had built around his heart.
Brooks is a wonderful hero who has experienced loss and suffered a lot during his childhood and teenage years, and I just desperately want to give him a hug. Meanwhile, Rowan is the perfect partner for Brooks—supportive, funny, uplifting, and, most importantly, someone who shows him love. ❤️
This is the best book I've read in weeks!

Thoroughly Enjoyable
I was immediately drawn into this story and could not put the book down. The ending was perfect and better than I ever thought possible. The supporting characters are very relatable and I especially loved how Dolly was so supportive of both Rowan and Brooks. My heart went out to poor Brooks and all that he’d endured in his past to make him the way he was. I could relate to all the feelings and heartfelt emotion that were so beautifully expressed by the author. Rowan was perfect - strong, supportive, kind and compassionate and I loved how he seized life with both hands and never wavered in his feelings for Brooks. This is the first book I’ve read in the Sagebrush series and I’ve just bought two more. This love story is extremely well written and I highly recommend it.

Saddles and Snowstorms is the fourth book in Atreus Rosewood's Sagebrush Cowboys series. Lots of tropes, city/country, sunshine/grumpy, trapped by a snowstorm. Trapped is actually my favorite. Rowan, Sagebrush's new vet is attracted to Brooks, a rancher with a small spread. Both have had some past trauma, except Rowan is determined to restart his life and Brooks has closed down.
Brooks is adorably grumpy. His most committed relationship is with his dog, Hank. Rowan is absolutely precious. His slow and gentle approach woks with nervous animals and skittish men. Lots of spice and angsty longing, pining. Hard work, but very deserved HEA.
And the cover alone will have readers grabbing it. Absolutely gorgeous.

I was so excited for this one! Of course I need to learn to manage my expectations.
I feel like there was a lot more sex in this one than the last one I read (book 2 ) ? So i ended up skimming a bit of those since I prefer to have more emotional connection building than just page after page of sex but thats personal preference!
Another personal preference? There needs to be a lot more pages of making up! At least some pages of Brooks making up for being an ass again, deep seeded trauma aside, I think the ending needed more page time of them settled after the week of no contact.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Brooks is a stubborn and grumpy rancher who tends to be solitary and pushes everyone away. Rowan is the new vet in town and is getting a fresh after leaving Austin, Texas. He bought the veterinary practice from an old vet who retired. Rowan is called out to Brooks's ranch and upon meeting Brooks, he's interested in the grumpy rancher. Brooks meets Rowan and his interest is sparked for the new vet. Now, it's just a matter of time before they take that next step.

Sweet romance during a bitter storm….
The new Veterinarian came to town,
and is adjusting. Brooks is an older, grumpy rancher who has to call for help.
The two men are attracted but Brooks is rejecting Rowan.
We see the brutal snowstorm hit and Rowan must go to help at the ranch, but the injured man is more of a priority than the injured calf.
Our guy saves them both. On the following days while being stuck together each man gives in to his desires.
We get great characters, more of the past stories, inner thoughts and hot sexy times.
When the storm ends, how will Brooks react.
ENJOY !

great potential but rushed
Brooks and Rowan were great characters with great storylines. The writing was just inconsistent, like it was rushed. Misspelled words, wrong names used in places, inconsistent descriptions, made it hard to read sometime. Not sure how a lot of this was not caught in editing. But again, probably my favorite characters of the series so far, just felt let down with the feeling it was rushed to get out.

There’s a story here somewhere
But it’s buried deeply beneath never-ending sex scenes. I don’t understand why writers of gay romance feel that they have to describe in huge detail what we all know: what goers where, how it feels, how we like the other guy to feel. Just show that and move on with the actual plot. I get it—it’s a lot easier to write sex scenes than develop an interesting plot.

Mr. Rosewood, great storytelling. Fine characters, fun in the snow that would curl anyone's toes, could you do another editorial run on your story. Nothing big is wrong, just small obvious errors. I don't notice most things, but using the wrong character's name during a mental discussion with oneself? Threw a stop into the reading, but I love this series and I loved this book.

Everybody should visit Sagebrush, Texas...**sigh**!!!😍😍😍
Gah...cowboy lovin'... amiright!? So sweet and sexy.😁 Rowan and Brooks are deeply flawed human beings that reach inside and squeeze your heart!💖 So well written you can feel them. It's a privilege to be in their world as they stumble around each other clueless. Or are they?🤔

There are no spoilers in this review. And I must say, that is very hard not to do. It would be so much easier to write about specific parts of the book to get someone to read it, but I dont want to ruin it. This one made my cry. It is suspenseful and you can practically feel the love and the want. I dont know what else to say to convince you to read this series.

Wonderful story of Rowan Walsh, a veterinarian starting over in Sagebrush, and Brooks Callahan, a recluse rancher. Loved these characters, felt for their struggles, and held my breath at times waiting to see what would happen next between these two. Highly recommend.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.
I do love all of the Sagebrush cowboys but this one felt a bit rushed to me and I didn’t really feel the connection and chemistry between the mc’s.
Was still a cute read though.

That’s Different
Not the typical small town cowboy romance. Good character development with the city veterinarian and solitary cowboy, supported by a cast from the series. Ends with the anticipated happy ending, but a resolution a bit unexpected.

July 20, 2025Aunque la historia me ha gustado, hay varias escenas que no sé si es que no están bien traducidas, pues hay varias contradicciones, además de fallos de nombres.
Por lo demás me ha gustado volver a saber del resto de personajes.

No me he leído los anteriores, pero se lee bien por sí mismo.
Bonito, cuidadoso, bien en general. Tampoco nada reseñable en particular, salvo un detalle terminológico que me ha dado mucha rabia y le baja al 3.

This was a great book. It was my first time reading Atreus Rosewood. Now I'm starting this series from book one and will probably read the whole lot! It was fun and light but with great character development and plenty of heat.

MM Brooks and Rowan
Brooks and Rowan are my favorites so far of this series. Steamy, Spicy well written stories. This author is one of my favorites, including his shifter stories under Blake R Wolfe

Rowan is the new vet in Sagebrush. Hoping for a fresh start after his break-up and wanting a change from city life. Brooks is a cowboy that likes being by himself.
Both characters are charming and their struggles pull you in.
Overall, an enjoyable read.

It kind of lost me in the end and the hurried up I love yous. The fact that the HEA came during a very public confessional seemed odd to me based on the Brooks we were introduced to 🤷♀️
