About this listen
Second chances aren’t always easy. Sometimes, it takes some rough love.
Bruce Tannen is better known by his nickname Brutal, because once upon a time, he was a monster on the football field. Now, he’s a farmhand on what used to be his family’s land, and change is all around him.
A new family, new expectations, and even new friends. It’s all just fine by him until he runs into the one woman to ever hold his heart. The past comes back with a wallop of a tackle that even he can’t take.
Allyson left him a lifetime ago, but she’s the only thing that’s ever felt right...in his arms, in his heart, in his life. Something’s different, though. She’s a shadow of her former self, and he wonders what could’ve dulled her shine. He can help fight her demons to bring back that sunny smile he used to bask in, but should he?
Allyson Meyers knew who she was and where she was going, but a wrong turn years ago took her on a journey she never imagined. Not even in her worst nightmares. It was ugly, but she’s stronger now for the one person who matters: her son, Cooper.
Being a single mother is a burden she’s grateful to bear alone until she sees a pair of all-too-familiar broad shoulders and dark, knowing eyes that remind her of who she once was.
Bruce was the one she'd left behind, the path she should’ve taken. It’s too bad you can’t rewrite history. But if she’s brave enough, maybe they could create a new future?

Bull rider James Bennett lives for those eight seconds of exhilaration. A rodeo cowboy in his prime, all he wants out of life is something to straddle. That’s why James is feeling a little restless, spending his summer off working his family’s ranch. That is, until a spirited and gorgeous veterinarian-in-training shows up and puts the cocky wild boy - and his ego - in place. Though she’s a feisty one, James is always up for a challenge.

Story
Have you ever had one of those really bad days at work? You know, one where your sexy AF boss catches you photocopying your backside in his office? No? Just me, then? I blame my bestie and partner-in-chaos. She challenged me with a not-so-innocent dare that I should’ve flat out declined. But I’m an adrenaline junkie, and now, here I am. I know it sounds crazy, and daredevil tendencies aside, I definitely went too far to get his attention. But you haven’t seen him. Colton Wolfe. My boss. Tall, dark, handsome, and with the sexiest British accent I’ve ever heard.

I’ve always wanted the fairy tale wedding. Not for the princess perfect dress or big party, but for papa. My grandfather. The only father figure I’ve ever known. It’s his dying wish to walk me down the aisle. Gee, no pressure. But I can grant that wish. I just have to fake being head over heels in love with Ross Andrews, my best friend's big brother whom I embarrassingly crushed on all through high school. Handsome. Knockout sexy. Arrogant jerk extraordinaire. Our childish pranks and tit-for-tat battles were legendary.

As a divorced single father, I live by three rules: Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she’s number one in my life. No matter what, keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum, and turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life. When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: Don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

He never bothered with hello. The shrieking hot stranger had me dizzy the instant he said we're engaged. Then he chased off the bully on our heels and dragged me back to his place for the night. Pure insanity, right? Wrong. You don't let pride do the talking when you're homeless, on the run, and hauling around your sick father in a truck so old it must've been on Noah's Ark. You definitely don't complain when Ridge Barnet takes charge. (In)famous heartthrob. Stinking rich. Fed up owner of one angry rooster. Eyes set to permanent storm.

It was supposed to be the best day of my life. But the second I got up, things started to fall apart. The kitchen just caught on fire. Flowers were from a funeral. My bride-to-be just had an allergic reaction, leaving by ambulance. Oh, and my ex-girlfriend just walked into the church. They say you have to see the signs when they are right in front of you. Maybe she was just mine to have.

Love these Tannen Boys!
What happens when the love of your life returns home years after leaving? Bruce Tannen gets to find out exactly what happens when his high school sweetheart Allyson returns with her son Cooper. Lauren Landish has woven a second chance romance that steals your heart and invests your soul. Bruce is just what he appears to be. There is no illusion to him, what you see is what you get. And believe me when I say, you will love this growlie rancher as he coaches football and woos Allyson. Allyson is guarded and for good reason. I have to say there were a couple of times I wanted to pull her along just so she could see what she could be having, but I am so glad her story played out as it did. And Cooper...what a kid! I can't even begin to say how much this boy added to the story! I loved every minute of it, from the reuniting of old loves to the squabbling and protectiveness of the Tannen brothers. It's an incredible start to this series and I can't wait for more.
Landish casts her narrators so well that you would think the story is written for these voices. Tor Thom is the alpha, swoonworthy Bruce, with his abundance of bravado and warm baritone voice. Carly Robins comes in as Allyson, very hesitant yet very self confident. This team is the perfect fit and enhanced the story so much that I could not stop listening! Loved every minute of the book.

The male narrator felt it was necessary to take a deep breath before every sentence, very amateur. I couldn't ignore it so I finished the book on Kindle U.

This book will have you hanging on to every word. It’s a emotional ride but so loving and definitely a book that will have you cheering this couple on. I never find any worries with these two narrators. Always an amazing story from Lauren Landish.

Great story and narration
Book one in the Tannen Boys series and was an entertaining story which is narrated by Tor Thom and Carly Robbins who portray Bruce (Brutal) Tannen and Allyson Meyer. This is a second chance at love story that ticked the boxes for me.
Allyson is the woman who walked away but now fate puts them in one another’s path again. Bruce is shocked at how much she has changed, she is a former shadow of herself and he is disturbed. The struggle whether to help Allyson is very real. Can they work it out this time and in doing so forgive and come to terms with the past?
This was a steamy, at times emotional and heart warming story and one that I enjoyed. The narrators did a great job bringing the story to life for me.

Strength of Letting Go
Lauren never disappoints. Rough Love is just as amazing as the previous stories. So great to hear how the Tannen men are growing after their loss. Wonderful to see the Bennett and Tannen clans become a family. I love Momma Louise. Already purchased the other two. Excited to hear about their futures.
