Review: The Viscount’s Rancher

THE VISCOUNT’S RANCHER by Andrew Grey

Fiction, Contemporary M/M Romance, 4 flames

4****

Blurb: Viscount Collin Northington has spent his life under his father’s thumb. When his friend George and his cowboy husband, Alan, offer to let him tag along to the US for two weeks, Collin jumps at the chance to get away. Perhaps the open ranges of Wyoming will put his problems into perspective. He even dreams of meeting a cowboy of his own. He doesn’t expect his dreams to come true. When Tank Rogers returned home after his military service, he took over the family ranch the way he knew he was meant to. Now he’s the only one left, but he likes the solitude. Even so, he has no excuse to object to putting up Alan’s friend for a few weeks in exchange for some help around the ranch—it wouldn’t be neighborly. The feelings he has for his blue-blooded houseguest aren’t exactly neighborly either. Once Tank realizes there’s more to Collin than upper-crust manners, suddenly his solitary life holds a lot less appeal. But in the long term, Tank doesn’t fit into Collin’s fancy society life any more than Collin fits into Tank’s down-home and dusty ranch… does he?

Thoughts: I enjoyed the first book in this series and this one takes place just a year or two after that one. In this one, Collin is tired of being constantly under his father’s control, especially since he’s the one making sure their lands don’t fall into ruin. Against his father’s wishes, he decides to take a short vacation and accompanies his best friends Alan (a cowboy) and George (a Duke) to Alan’s mother’s ranch in Wyoming. Collin stays with Alan’s friend Tank (Tim).

Tank has brought his family ranch back from the brink of disaster, but he is alone. Then he meets Collin and against everything he thinks he should do, he falls for the handsome viscount. The romance is hot and heavy and mutual, but Collin must return home to his family estates and Tank must stay on his land.

The romantic tension between the two works well as do their emotions when they must part. But like all romances (and especially Mr. Grey’s), things do work out and we get a HEA for the men.

Recommended.
