“Can you keep a secret?”
Corey had been good at keeping other people’s secrets all his life. When he was little, it was a way to help earn his friend’s favor. As he grew older, he learned that some people’s truths weren’t his to share. When he decided to cure his loneliness by signing up to be someone’s pen pal, the connection became another in a long line of things he kept to himself.
Years passed, and the friendship with his pen pal shifted into… more. Corey loved how naturally caring for the other man felt. Even with the distance, they’d found the perfect dynamic for them.
Ashley understood how life could change in an instant. The first big change came when he signed up to serve his country out of a sense of duty. Another came with his first deployment. One after another, the universe showed him just how strong he had to be to survive.
He battled against the current until the day that first letter arrived. From the first line, Ashley knew this would be another change in his life. Instead of bringing him pain and sorrow, each piece of communication brought him joy and hope. It gave him a safe space to be the man he truly was deep inside.
When Ashley decided to choose himself for the first time, he opted to separate from the military to pursue the man he’d slowly but surely fallen in love with. He wanted to meet his pen pal —his Daddy.
Meeting his Daddy is the fifth book of the Coleman Ranch series. This story features sexy ranch hands, a hurt/comfort dynamic, and on-page steam between our two leading men. Please check the author’s note at the start of the story for content information.
REVIEW:
This is the fifth book in the Coleman Ranch series and focuses on Corey who we know as the loveable clown of the ranch and his secret pen pal Ashley. I would strongly recommend that you read the prior books in the series before you read this one. Although each book is about a new couple the characters do all reappear in each book and they are integral to the story. There is also an underlying story line to all the books in the series. And if nothing else they are a good read.
Well, I didn’t see that one coming!! I didn’t read the blurb before reading this book -and if you haven’t don’t read it, read the book first and then come back to this review.
Ashley and Corey have been pen-pals for years after Corey decided to join a scheme to write to miliary personnel. During the course of their correspondence Ashley has learnt about all the people of Coleman Ranch. Even though they don’t know he exists he has lived through all the highs and lows with them through Corey’s letters. Ashley has no surviving family and when he is ready to leave the military he knows exactly where he wants to be, at the Coleman Ranch with Corey as long as they and Corey will have him.
When he turns up at the ranch Corey is so happy to see him but he knows that he is going to have to come to clean to all his friends, and his found family, at the ranch about who he really is and the secret relationship he has been having for years,
One of the things I like about this series is the fact that we get to see glimpses of the characters before lives and relationships progressing, We also to hear a little more about Gerald and he will be getting his own book in the next and final book in the series, Loosing His Daddy and I think that one is going to hurt.
