The Foreman and the Drifter (Farthingdale Ranch #1) by Jackie North

 


Amazon Link   - Available in KU  




“If only Leland would forget forget that Jamie was a drifter. If only he’d give their hearts a chance.”

With Farthingdale Ranch at risk, Leland Tate, ranch manager, has to get tough and make sure everyone on the ranch follows the rules he’s laid out. That means no handouts, no fraternizing, and no drifters.

But what happens when a young drifter comes looking for a job? What happens when that drifter makes Leland want to break all the rules?

A gay, m/m cowboy romance with age gap, hurt/comfort, first time, rescue, sunshine/grumpy, boss/employee, emotional scars, and opposites attract. A little sweet, a little steamy, with a guaranteed HEA.

My Rating - 5 Stars!


The Foreman and the Drifter is a captivating cowboy romance by Jacki North. The first book in the Farthingdale Ranch, I love every moment of this story. I was pulled in from the start, and these men and their story consumed me throughout. 

Immediately, Jamie is a lovable character. His plight is laid out on the first pages, fully pulling the reader into rooting for him to find a home and job. 

His first meeting with Leland is messy, but a little later on, Leland's pull to his new employee is strong. He can't stop wanting to help and protect him, despite it not being his job. And damn, someone needs to. 

And oh, the chemistry. The longing. The need. And the angst, as Leland has a rule to not sleep with an employee. His self imposed rule that goes against everything he wants from Jamie creates a forbidden romance element.

Oh...all the feels. They jump off the pages throughout. 

Hurt. Pain. Sorrow. Regret.

Basically, I love cowboy romances and this one is a delight. Both men help each other to heal, as well as to grow. And it's wonderful. 

As an added bonus to this enjoyable tale, there's none of the typical homophobia that often exists in ranch romances. What a nice surprise. 

The Foreman and the Drifter is well worth a read to anyone in the mood for a cowboy romance. This looks to the start of a great series by Jacki North. There's a mystery that will be leading into the next book and I can't wait to read more about this ranch and it's people. I love it all so far!
