My new boss a bit of a grump. And my house might be haunted, but other than that, this move is going well. 

I jump at the chance to live near my best friend and accept a job managing a BBQ joint in a small Texas town. Adjacent to her happily-ever-after is good enough for me. Pleasantly plump and almost 50, I’m content being single.

The grumpy restaurant owner is my best friend’s soon-to-be-brother-in-law, which means not only do I see him at work, we’re also at Sunday family dinners together. And after a few weeks on the job, we’re playing cards in the evenings. Like friends.

He’s one surprise after another. When weird things start happening at my rented house, he checks every room. When my grandmother demands I find a husband or forfeit my grandpa’s paintings, Reuben overhears and volunteers to fake a relationship so I can get the treasured artwork. There is a teddy bear under the crusty exterior.

But the fake relationship plan fails. Epically.

And when my grandmother needs me, I race back home like I always do. Then I’m faced with a choice between helping my family or Reuben. But when I think about who shows up for me, the choice is easy. Even if the consequences are hard.

Reuben De Los Santos Gets a New Boss is a sweet, closed-door rom-com suspense and book two in the Brothers of Rocking Double Heart Ranch series.

BROTHERS OF ROCKING DOUBLE HEART RANCH Series:
Source: The Author and Phrey Press.

REUBEN DE LOS SANTOS GETS A NEW BOSS, #2 - I think Zeke lost out to Reuben, both stories are wonderful but Reuben's is delicious. There’s BBQ, romance, intelligent dialog and actions, and a perplexing dilemma. 5*

ZEKE DE LOS SANTOS TALKS ABOUT HIS FEELINGS, #1 - YAY! A new Ranch series with ties to the other series set in Texas. Ms. Carrington has delivered another sweet, funny, loving story filled with a bit of intrigue, good people, and interesting story lines. No silliness or stupidity from this author. 5*

STARGAZER SPRINGS RANCH series:
WRANGLED BY LILITH, #1 - I love this sweet, funny story, even when the last page came too soon. Everyone was good people whom I met before with the Stargazer Cowboy series. The dialog between Beau and Lily had me hurting from all the belly laughs. Ava added her share to the mix. Good story lines. Texans will especially enjoy this book, location and dialog. 5* My favorite book of all the Ranch series.

Such a fun later-in-life romance with some mild suspense/mystery! Cora was hilarious and her chipping away at Reuben’s tough exterior was perfect. I love that neither of them were looking for love, but they both healed something in each other and fell anyway. All the little Easter eggs from other stories are an extra treat if you know what to look for!

CW: Mildly suspenseful situations
TW: Manipulative family members, past divorce

Warning: this book will pull you right in and reading it in one sitting is a real possibility! I loved this book so much! Cora moves into town to be closer to her best friend and starts working at Reuben’s restaurant. From the very first meeting, sparks fly! Soon those sparks reveal the mutual attraction as they work together to keep the restaurant running. I loved seeing how Reuben was so protective of Cora. There is some light suspense in this book that allows that protectiveness to shine through. All in all, this book was absolutely amazing, and I want to start back at the beginning and read it all over again!
