BOOK 3, MACKENZIE COUNTRY SERIES

I am Mackenzie Country born and bred. Farming the high country runs in my blood, like my father, and his father, and my great grandfather before him. My future has been mapped out for me since the day I was born. Or at least it was, until Liam Skelton walks onto Lane Station, lights a fire in my heart, and turns my whole world upside down.

Bossy, tatted, and out and proud, Liam is everything my father abhors.

And I want him.

Badly.

But having a chance with Liam means risking everything. My family. My future. And my life in these mountains that I love.

Still, the heart wants what it wants, and mine wants Liam.

With so many things against us, maybe we don't have a chance.

Maybe we'll crash and burn.

Or maybe we’ll find a way to have it all.

ALSO AVAILABLE IN EBOOK & PAPERBACK

Book One, The Art of Husbandry, is a 2024 Lambda Literary Award Finalist in Gay Romance.

This hugely popular series is set in the Mackenzie Country of New Zealand where impossibly large merino sheep stations push high into the Southern Alps. The scenery is spectacular, isolated, rugged, and a character in its own right. The stories are set around two neighbouring sheep stations, the men who live and work there, and the small town that services the region.

Expect loads of romance and swoon/ grief/ recovery/ discovering new life/ dealing with homophobia/ coping with pressure/ fish-out-of-water/ opposites attract, and major found family vibes.

TW— Book one and two have a TW for past loss of a child.

Beautiful setting for a beautiful love story

Audiobook - narrator is Gary Furlong, who as always, does an excellent job with all the different voices. It is always a pleasure to listen to him narrate!

This is my first book by Jay Hogan and will definitely not be my last. First, let me laud the beautiful New Zealand setting as this book is set on/around the sheep stations in the mountains there. It must take a certain kind of hardy soul to want to live there, so far away from anything urban, even with all the beauty. Luckily for his family, Jules is one such person - this place is in his blood and when his dad has a stroke and is unable to run the station, Jules steps up. Jules is a closeted bisexual who has been mostly attracted to women, so hasn't bothered to rock the boat at home. His father is quite the bigot, even basically disowning his younger son because he is gay. Things change, however, when an occupational therapist comes to rehab his dad and Jules meets Liam. Gorgeous, sunshine-y, out and proud Liam to whom Jules is attracted. Finally...here is a person that makes coming out worth his while, although he fights his attraction for awhile.

Before they can reach their HEA, there are two big hurdles to jump (along with some minor ones), one of which is the super homophobic Father (Paddy). Will Jules be able to continue living there and running the station as he dreams of doing or will his dad also disown him? And if he is able to stay...what does mean for his relationship with Liam? Liam has a doctorate to finish and a business to run....I very much enjoyed Jules's character arc and growth. Liam supported him through everything and is such a sweet guy. Together, their chemistry sizzles and this book leaves little doubt that they're sexually compatible (or is that...combustible? lol).

Between the gorgeous scenery, the wonderful side characters, Jules's and Liam's chemistry, this book is a solid, not super angsty read. I need to go back and restart this series from the beginning!

Amazing! This is a gorgeously written series, I’ve loved all the books but Liam and Jules are my favorite. Throughout the series, a personal highlight has been the beautiful descriptions of the Mackenzie County setting. I loved getting the audio version, it adds a little something extra to the lovely vistas. This is a wonderfully long story which I loved. Jules and Liam are pretty special together, so the more time the better. I also appreciated the low angst within their relationship, as the rest of the plot provides plenty of interesting. This will definitely be a comfort listen for me, loved it a whole bunch! A definite 5 ⭐️listen for me.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this audiobook.

A Beautifullly Told Story and Narration

Beautifully narrated by Mr Furlong as he brought the characters to life.

Jules 35 yrs Bi, lived on a sheep station with his family right next door to the Miller Station owned by a gay couple. Jules wanted something like them for his future. Jules didnt get along with his father.
Liam 39 yrs was Jules father rehab therapy person after hed had a recent stroke. Liam has a hard time with Paddy and his views on being gay but Paddy didn't know about Jules' status.
I loved that Jules and Liam have some hot chemistry. Scenes progress and some are outed and secrets exposed.
The story is a fantastic one especially with Gary’s vocals. Hot sexy scenes happen but not without some dancing around each other first. Haha I had to laugh at Liam’s attempts at fishing.
God this had me awwwing “I also knew that if I kept going, one kiss would never be enough, and I didnt know what the hell I would do about that”
Liam’s job was only temporary at the station, which makes it interesting to keep reading to see what happens.
Holly ship the ending of this is huge and filled with dramas and emotions.
HEA ending includes dual povs
Triggers…bullying of a side character, dramas with a gun, homophobia talk.
