Lawrence: The Brothers of Hastings Ranch Series Book Four

Rate this book
Ruby Cole has spent her entire life in Parks, Texas. Most of it behind the counter of the local diner she inherited from her late grandparents. A staple in Parks, most people stop in Sloppy’s Diner for a bite to eat and great conversation. But despite her love for the diner and the locals, Ruby debates if she should sell it and try her hand at something new. She also longs for a relationship that goes beyond just fulfilling a drink order.

Lawrence Hastings loves eating at Sloppy’s. Not only does it require a trip into town and away from the ranch, but it’s also his chance to see his lifelong friend, Ruby. His last few trips to the diner, however, bring him face to face with the new veterinarian technician who has his eyes set upon wooing Ruby, and Lawrence isn’t quite sure how he feels about that.

Can Ruby view Lawrence as more than a friend?

Can Lawrence show Ruby that their friendship can lead to love?

Thanks for reading my books!

I sat here for about five minutes trying to think of something prolific to write, and all I came up with was that first sentence. However, despite it being simple and understated, it's a genuine response. I appreciate all who read and listen to my books. And for those who rate and review it, a special thanks to you.
Happy Reading!
Katharine

Lawrence: The Brothers of Hastings Ranch

I just loved this story. The Hasting brothers each share a ranch. They work hard and each one of them are finding the loves of their lives. Lawrence has been best friends since first grade. He didn’t take her to junior prom but he did dance every dance with her. This is such a Fun story of both of them discovering their deep and true love for each other. Enjoy the journey.

Good story

A story of 2 friends who decide they like their friend more than just friendship.
He protects her from a bully @ her diner. The guy she'd dated just stood there.
The brothers & their partners create humor & variety.
