I can confidently say I never thought my crush on my best friend’s older brother would amount to anything.

Until Benson Harper returns to Darling, possibly to stay.

As the forty-two-year-old desperately searches for his sense of self, I begin falling for a man I never truly knew before now. One who’s kind, honest, and caring.

Amidst wildlife rehabilitation, explorations in mountain climbing, and the strained tensions with his brother, Benson works up the courage to tell his family he’s autistic. And I gain companionship that goes far beyond the eldest Harper brother shadowing me on the ranch.

I wasn’t prepared for love to bloom in the quiet days spent by Benson’s side.

Now, I’m not prepared to lose him.

From Author's FB page
I was so excited to finally read the last Darling brothers story, and I was just captivated by this beautiful story and this couple. 

Remington Darling is the youngest of four brothers. He is an animal lover and caregiver, an artist, and is deaf. He has seen his older brothers fall in love and their family grow. 

Benson Harper has returned to Darling Springs after decades of running himself ragged in the business world. He has been learning more about himself and is trying to figure out his life on his own terms instead of societal expectations.  But he is also having to let down the mask he has put on for decades. 

Benson begins hanging out at the farm with Remi, caring for the animals and quietly getting to know each other again. Benson was always the mysterious older brother of Remi's best friend and is twelve years older. He is quiet, honest, anxious, self-deprecating, and uncomfortable in social situations. 

The more time they spend together, the more their differences blend into a sense of understanding, acceptance, and compatibility. Benson is also learning to accept himself and that he is worthy. And Remi is also learning that he deserves to have someone care for him like he does for others. 

I loved how they complemented each other and how their personal issues made their need for quiet times relatable to each other, and that they supported each other. I found it to be just a beautiful pairing, and I just adored them together. These two guys are so sweet, patient, and understanding with each other, but they also have amazing slow-burn chemistry. 

I thought the author did a very good job of helping the reader feel and understand what it is like to be dealing with deafness and autism, and the importance of having a safe space to be open and vulnerable and feel accepted.

This brings back all of the Darling brothers and their partners, as well as August(Benson's brother and Remi's best friend), and I enjoyed seeing Benson building relationships with them as well. 
And they also have a fun pet. I did appreciate the set of bonus stories.  I am sad to see this series end. I would love to see a spin-off for August because he is also a unique character.

If there’s one thing I don’t need upsetting my quiet and comfortable routine in the small town of Darling, Montana, it’s newcomer Ash Alcott crash landing on my family’s ranch like some sort of blonde angel.

I don’t need his flirting. Or his smile. I don’t need the way he makes me question whether or not I’m truly happy being alone at forty. I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch.

The man is dangerous for my equilibrium. And he could up and leave at any given moment, tiring of this way of life. It’s happened before.

No, I’m better off ignoring the way he looks at home in a new pair of boots and how my family and the ranchers all adore him. Ash may have brought some sunshine into our lives, but it’s best he learn sooner rather than later…

Ain’t nothing sweet about being saddled with a cowboy like me.

If asked to list all the folks in Darling, Montana I can’t stand, I’d have a single name.

Noah King.

He’s the second-best farrier in town (me being the first). A royal pain in my behind. And an all-around smug pest I wouldn’t mind knocking down a peg or two.

It’s no surprise after so many years, our animosity has come to a head. I just never in my wildest, hate-fueled fantasies expected Noah’s attack to involve his lips on mine.

It was a mistake, no question. But apparently I still have some things to figure out about myself.

One thing I do know? Noah King and I have been bitter rivals from the start. And nothing, not even the fire he lights under my skin, makes a lick of difference in the end.

Surrendering to my enemy isn’t an option.

Ever since Oakley Beaumont skipped town, it feels as if my life has gone off the rails. Even worse than my divorce and moving back into my childhood bedroom at the Darling Ranch is the fact that I’m learning there’s a whole lot about myself I simply don’t know.

Like whether or not I’m straight.

And why the sudden absence of my best friend left a hole in my chest I haven’t been able to fill in the three years he’s been gone.

First things first: I need to bring Oakley home.

Then maybe I can tackle the matter of my love life. After all, I’m ready to get back in the saddle.

And who better to help me than the cowboy who once promised me forever?
