Cat's Review of Baker (Bastian Brothers #1) by V.L. Locey @vl_locey @tammystwocents X- @vllocey @TTCBooksandmore

While battling to save his family’s ranch, Baker finds himself falling for a man as unrestrained as the  Oklahoma winds. 


For as long as he can recall, Baker Bastian has been the backbone of Bastian Acres Ranch. He’s carried a heavy load, trying his best to keep his family legacy from being swallowed up by corporate farming while battling a fondness for the bottle, a messy divorce, and a grandmother who’s set on becoming the next Annie Oakley if she could just get a gun that shoots straight. It’s not been an easy road. Now, with his worthless philandering father’s death, the deed to the ranch is to be split four ways with three half-brothers he never wanted to get to know better. 

As the ranch is tossed into chaos, Baker is driven to open the gates to strangers, and not just his brothers and their traveling companions. In order to turn a buck, the once proud owner of prime cattle is reduced to calling his farming legacy a guest ranch. The first client to show up is Hanley Welsh, a world-renowned wildlife photographer. Baker should be too busy to notice how rugged Hanley is, or how his eyes crinkle with his easy smile, or how well his jeans fit, but notice he does. Will Baker’s lonely existence end with the arrival of a man who carries the song of the indigo bunting in his heart?

Baker (Bastian Brothers #1) is a first in series grumpy/sunshine M/M contemporary western gay romance with a lonesome cowboy, a globetrotting wildlife photographer, unwanted family arrivals, a not-so-straight shooting octogenarian, and a picture-perfect happy ending.

Cat gives this book 5 Meows with a 4 Purr heat index...

Baker has been a loner most of his life. His philandering dad just passed and now 3 half brothers he doesn't know show up for the funeral and reading of the will. He's hoping to pay them off and send them back to big city, but all 3 are looking to change their lives. So now his solitude is overrun with 3 half brothers, and one plus one. 

All the characters are fun especially granny and I loved Bella too. 
This story sets up the series and you can see where the next stories may be going. 
The story is interesting and hot. I can't wait for the next book.

V.L. Locey loves worn jeans, yoga, belly laughs, walking, reading and writing lusty tales, Greek mythology, Torchwood and Dr. Who, the New York Rangers, comic books, and coffee. (Not necessarily in that order.) She shares her life with her husband, her daughter, one dog, two cats, a pair of geese, far too many chickens, and two steers.

When not writing spicy romances, she enjoys spending her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania with a cup of fresh java in one hand and a steamy romance novel in the other.
