About this ebook

"I wanted to luxuriate in this book forever as it strengthened my spirit and made my heart ecstatically happy.” ~Five-star Goodreads Review (BookAddict)

Caleb Stockton has been missing for more than ten years. No one knows why he left. His brothers have no idea if he's even alive.

After a decade of silence, Caleb's about to come home to the ranch, the family, and the town he walked away from so long ago.

But his homecoming isn't going to be what anyone expects.

Not his brothers.

Not him.

And definitely not Jenna Ward, a sassy single mom who long ago gave up on love.

When danger follows Caleb, endangering Jenna and her daughter, he must choose between the secret life he's been living for so long...and the chance he suddenly has for everything he's ever wanted.

“Wow, exciting, action-packed, and filled with love. Absolutely loved it.” ~Five-star Goodreads Review (Liz V.)

“This author captured the essence of all the entire family and provided the perfect closure that has emotionally captured a piece of my heart.” ~Five-star Goodreads Review (Becky B.)

Ratings and reviews

The Stocktons Another great book about this family. Any story about the brothers never disappoints and makes you want more. This book is about Caleb and his story is a long time coming. The author has done such a great job of giving you a heartwarming, heartbreaking, chaos with the taste of destruction, lost, and with love solidify that bonding of family. This book was so good I read it in one sitting I could not put it down. I think this series would make a great mimi series for television . I received a free copy of this book without obligation to the author to write a review.

This story starts off right after an actual bang, takes off running and holds you wonderfully captive for an emotionally exciting ride. The storyline was so engaging and well written that I could not put the book down. It is full of all the big feeling inducing well crafted words - when the action lets up, then emotions spiraled up, then the mystery kicked in. Phew. Strap in. It is a masterpiece cleverly disguised as a simple cowboy romance. Caleb Stockton wakes up injured at the location of an explosion, a man hands him a baby named Zach, and tells him to run. But Caleb cannot remember who the man or baby are or even who he is. Nonetheless, he takes Zach and runs using skills he apparently has but does not know why he has them. He stops running at an isolated, seemingly abandoned cabin to rest. Meanwhile Jenna and her teenaged daughter Gracie are traveling to Jenna’s grandmother’s cabin for a week’s vacation. They arrive in their cabin to discover a hurt, shirtless passed out Caleb with Zach sleeping on his chest. Thus begins the fast paced, dangerous, but swoony journey to find forever as a knit-together family. There’s a lot for Caleb, Jenna and Gracie to unpack to get there and to be reunited with the family Caleb left a decade ago but it’s a beautiful journey. The book has a little bit of everything just like you would expect from this series - sweet moments, strong family bonds, sexy times, real life issues, imperfect characters, dangerous moments, mystery, uber protective men, painful pasts, and so much love. All the books in this series have a central theme of family - those we are born into and those we create. The Stockton family loves hard and they love by surrounding you with goodness and strength. “This was what family was to them. All in. Always. No matter what.” This is book 10 in this series and it’s a standalone so you can enjoy it without reading the other books, but do yourself a favor and read all the books in the series, you’ll love them all. While I am sad that we’ve come to the end of the Stockton siblings, I am glad that they’ll continue as secondary characters with the Hart Ranch Billionaires series.

Wow! I could not wait for this book to come out. I mean you kept hearing about Caleb throughout the whole series so once it came I knew I would devour it. I really did. I mean sleep, who needs it. But seriously, Stephanie Rowe did not disappoint with this one. This book hits the ground running from page one. It was like whoa wait what just happened and had me glued right away. Be prepared for it to start with a bang. Caleb. I love him. I had a feeling that I would. I mean I would say you save the best for last, but I love all the Stockton and Hart men, so that’s not exactly the case here 😊 but the anticipation building up to read about this elusive brother was insane. Caleb has such a hard uphill battle to fight but at the core you really know he’s a Stockton through and through. Everything he does and how he acts shines through no matter what is going on around him. Then you have sweet Jenna and Gracie. This mum and kid duo are awesome. I love their dynamic. Don’t get me wrong what they’ve gone through is rough. But seeing them heal and how they grow together is really sweet and funny at moments. Now throw everyone together and add some small additions (hehe read and you’ll get the reference) and you have some great interactions, heart warming moments and of course there is romance and some serious chemistry between Caleb and Jenna. Naturally, danger is around the corner for this unit and Caleb ends up going home. It’s not what you expect at all, I cried. There are so many emotions coming from everyone involved. It’s worth the tears. I really loved seeing everyone from the beginning of the series come together in this book. You worry for a minute that it will be overwhelming since there are so many siblings, their spouses, and some kids, but it was perfect. The balance was amazing. I HIGHLY recommend this book. It was such a crazy ride but I really loved it. I read it in one go and will probably read it again because it is that good. The action, humor, suspense and romance are perfect in this book. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
