Granite Junction Book 1

Graduate from college? Check.

Land a school counselor job? Check.

Seduce her forever crush? Epic fail!


The sexy rancher is clearly not interested in long-term. In fact, he's not interested, period. But Emma is determined to change his mind until his cousin, Gabe Buchanan, puts a definite crimp in her perfect plans.


Gabe has come to help his cousin with work around the ranch while struggling to unravel his next book plot. The last thing he expected to find was literary inspiration in the curvaceous cowgirl pining over his cousin. Determined to prove he is the right match for her, he devises a plan to win Emma's heart.


As much as Emma wants her childhood crush to finally take notice, she can't help but be intrigued by the sizzling hot and funny Gabe. When he asks her out, she can't say no. Besides, it's just a friendly dinner. No big deal. Yet when the lines between casual and interested blur, neither can deny the chemistry between them.


Can Gabe fill every box on Emma's checklist and give her what she needs the most? His heart and a future together?


Granite Junction is a spin-off from the Redemption Ranch series, with some of your favorite characters returning and making guest appearances, while others find their happy ever afters!

My Review:

I enjoyed this book so much, that now I find myself at a loss for words. Previously, I had fallen in love with the Redemption Ranch series. So I was fairly certain, before I even cracked this book open, that these would be some new favorite characters. And I wasn’t wrong. Gabe is a charming rascal. But that mask hides the complex and vulnerable man desperate to be seen as “worthy” by the people he loves. Emma’s a little tougher for me to wrap up so simply. The easiest might be to say that she is, perhaps, the living embodiment of that old saying about the gods laughing at mortals who make plans, because nothing in her love life is going according to plan. I fell in love with these characters almost immediately. They drew sparks from one another from the moment we first see them together and that carried through the whole book. Through angst and humor, tension and sweetness, this book occasionally left me wondering if we’d ever get to see a happy ever after for this pair. As much as they embraced it, they fought it too. The only thing I wish I could change would be Gabe’s willingness to take the blame for things that weren’t all his to ‘own’. It took a lot of people to create the situation we read about in this book, and some of them deserve their own share of the fault. In any case, I’m anxiously waiting to see who’ll be the next to get paired up in Granite Junction.

I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Buoni Amici Press.
