Cat's Review of Sent to the Ranch: Carrillo Ranch Book by Brina Brady @ brinabrady2 @tammystwocents X- @Brina_Brady @TTCBooksandmore

Torin O’Connor thought he could handle the shadows of his family’s Brooklyn mafia past, but one reckless mistake with the wrong Italian mobster changes everything. Sent to Montana’s rugged Carrillo Ranch to escape his own self-destructive choices—Torin finds himself under the watchful eye of Garett Barnes, a stoic cowboy with a past as unyielding as the land he works.  

Garett didn’t sign up to babysit a troubled mafia kid, but when his boss Dante calls in a favor, he can’t refuse. Used to solitude and hard labor, Garett works at a BDSM club on the weekends and is unprepared for the fiery, headstrong Torin, who challenges him at every turn. Garett is a Dom looking for a sub. Torin needs a Dom, though he was not aware of it.

The two men collide in Montana’s untamed beauty, Torin discovers the strength within himself—and a connection he never expected. But danger looms, and the shadows of Torin’s past aren’t as distant as they once seemed.

A story of redemption and unexpected love. This gripping tale will take you from the gritty streets of Brooklyn to the wide-open skies of Montana.

Cat gives this book 4 meows...

Torin’s brother calls in a favor at Carillo Ranch to get him away from his mobster ex boyfriend. Though Torin isn't thrilled about the situation even though the cowboy assigned to watch over him is hot. Garret really has his hands full with Torin.

The story is really good. Characters great plus we see some of the others from previous books. This is set in the Carillo Ranch World but stands alone fine, but why not read in order to get the full ride. 

This is a BDSM story as Garrett is a Dom but not looking for a sub and Torin isn't into BDSM or at least he didn't know he was. 

If you don't think BDSM is your thing but was thinking about trying, this is a good starter book. Garret is very caring and everything is explained well. 

If you like stories about redemption, cowboys and Mafia kids, unexpected love, age Gap, BDSM, Dom/sub and some suspense you will love this.



Meet Brina Brady

From the streets of Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, where I ruled as the eldest of five siblings, my life’s journey has been an adventure. After marrying my partner, we started a family and welcomed three amazing daughters into our lives. In 1973, the waves called, and we answered—moving to the sun-kissed beaches of sunny Huntington Beach, California. It was a dream come true.

Later, I married my loving second husband, and when family called, we packed up and headed to Indiana. Retirement opened a new chapter for me, filled with the laughter of my four adorable grandchildren and the company of two sweet cats. It’s a life full of love and completed goals.

For twenty-seven years, I taught at a Continuation High School in Los Angeles, California, where I shared my passion for learning with my students. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in History, a Secondary Social Science Credential, and a master’s degree in Secondary Reading and Secondary Education from California State University, Long Beach. I also took creative writing classes at UCLA, which helped fuel my love for storytelling.

Speaking of storytelling, I’ve been hooked on it since I was a kid. As a child, I’d spend Saturday afternoons writing novels while sipping on my grandmother’s homemade, comforting chicken soup. Even as a busy stay-at-home mom, I made time to write every day—it was my escape and my joy. Later, while teaching, I kept writing, though the demands of the classroom meant I had less time to devote to it.

Today, I’m a contemporary romance author who loves writing LGBTQ+ stories. My books often explore complex relationships and emotional journeys, with several series diving into BDSM dynamics. I also write MM romance without BDSM themes, focusing on engaging plots, well-developed characters, and plenty of steamy moments.

When I’m not writing, I’m indulging in my other passions. I’m an avid reader, always getting lost in new worlds and characters. I also love graphic design, where I get to blend art and technology to create something beautiful. And when it’s time to relax, I’m hooked on Turkish TV series—their rich stories and cultural depth totally captivate me. Each of my hobbies reflects my love of creativity, storytelling, and exploring new horizons.
