About this listen
When Clint Carmichael died, he left a shattered wife and four children. Someone had to take over the reins of the Starlight Ranch.
That someone was 23-year-old Deacon. Now, 10 years later, the multimillion-dollar ranch is running smoothly under his command. His family, not so much.
Deacon’s siblings don’t always appreciate his inherent need to take care of everything and everybody. But he’s determined to carry on the family legacy to honor their father. If that means taking on a paternal role, so be it.
Running a ranch and a family are two full-time jobs. There’s no room or time to look for a relationship. Deacon’s fine with that. He has no interest in getting tangled up with a woman.
But when Cassidy O’Hare comes to town, he starts to wonder if being alone is what he really wants. One problem. She’s dating his brother.
With the Carmichaels, family comes first, along with loyalty and honor. Cassidy can never be his.
Cassidy may very well find her happily ever after at the Starlight Ranch. But which Carmichael brother with be by her side when she does?
Deacon is the first book in the four-book Carmichael series. It’s the beginning of a family saga with family loyalty, humor, handsome cowboys, and a hard-won romance.

Story
To be a successful pack, you must have an Omega. Alpha and Beta shifters can become feral when congregated in large numbers without an Omega’s calming influence. Eighteen years ago, I was kidnapped with my mother. They wrongly assumed she was an Omega. For 10 years, I watched them break her, beat her, abuse her in every way. They promised my fate would be the same when I came of age. They were wrong. I escaped, taking my two young brothers with me. We’ve avoided all other shifters for eight years. Until now. Now a new pack has moved in, and they seem to have an interest in my brothers. In me.

My new neighbor is a firefighter - and a scorching-hot single dad - but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

After months of living inside a filthy cage like a pet hamster, I’m returned to where the nightmare of my abduction began—the wall on a planet called Tirius—to be auctioned off like a piece of meat. Instead of being visual entertainment, I’m sold to a disgusting alien who makes no pretenses about his lecherous intentions toward me and the four other human women he’s strung together on a chain.

Sweet Romance
I liked this cowboy romance of a stubborn, grumpy cowboy named Deacon Carmichael. He has sworn off relationships, but can’t get the woman his brother likes out of his mind. Cassidy O' Hare is the granddaughter of a fellow rancher. Can Deacon walk away? Read the book! James Romick did a great job with the narration.

Great story
I liked the story line. It was serious but made me laugh at times. I appreciate that it did not have explicit sexual content. The language was a little bad, but okay. Best audible book so far!
