Stu Lawson had always lived in the small town of Occident. He’d been born a farmer, and he was more than happy to stay a farmer even when his dad decided it wasn’t the life for him. He’s been raising his daughter since the day she was born, and he’s never regretted being a single dad, but Stu has a few secrets.
Morgan Grant was born into a life he never wanted and had done everything he could to avoid. Staying drunk helps him forget and numbs the pain he can’t bring himself to face. After a long night of drinking, he ends up dumped in a small town north of Sacramento without money, his phone, or a way to get back to the city he calls home.
Stu’s focus has always been his daughter, but he can’t control his curiosity about the stranger who shows up in Occident alone in the middle of the night. He offers to help, even when he knows he shouldn’t. Old feelings rise to the surface and he’s helpless to ignore them, or Morgan. This stranger could be his chance at happiness, or his downfall. #singledad #gayromance #stranded #smalltownromance #secrets

Loved it!

This is my second book by B.L. Maxwell, and I like their easygoing style. Both MCs. are likable men. Morgan is a lost soul who isn't sure what he wants out of life, and Stu has put his needs aside to be a dutiful son and responsible father.

When they first meet, we see that Morgan brings out Stu's protective instincts while Stu makes Morgan want to be a better man, They fit together well, and I enjoyed their easygoing friendship that develops into attraction.

The story is pretty fast-paced, and their relationship develops quickly. I liked how they fit into each other's lives without much drama or angst. Stu's family accepts Morgan and their budding relationship without much fanfare, so seeing them form a strong relationship throughout the story was nice.

I liked this book and did not read the other books in the series, so I'm glad I could follow along with the story as a standalone.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Morgan is a young guy who seems to be floundering.
He spends his time partying and really has no direction in life.
He ends up getting dumped out in the country in a town called Occident.
A farmer, Stu finds him.
From the moment they meet Stu takes on a caregiver, guardian role with Morgan.
He's just the sweetest man and he loves his daughter Mariah who was an absolute sweetheart.
His family are all very easy going and inclusive.
Morgan hasn't had the best family life so he craves his interactions with Stu's family and they immediately accept him as part of the family.
He begins working for Stu and finds that he loves being outside and working.
In actuality he finds his true self.
Stu also finds the courage to be true to himself and they both find themselves falling in love through friendship first.
Morgan's family were just so cruel and I really enjoyed seeing him stand up for himself.

I was curious about Stu from the very first book, Remember When. So glad we got his story!! I can’t imagine anyone more perfect for Morgan than Stu!! He was the perfect addition to Stu’s family!!!!

A privileged, but neglected man gets dumped in Occident.

Morgan, after being dumped in the middle of the road in a drunken stupor, is nearly run over by Stu driving his combine. Stu takes the young stranger to his home and tends to his wounds.

In exchange for letting him stay the night, Morgan offers to help Stu on the farm. After a hard day's work organizing Stu's messy barn, Morgan, as is Stu, is pleased with his progress. And Morgan discovers he likes the hard work, after wasting the past year partying and couch surfing.

Stu, needing the extra help on his farm, offers to let Morgan stay for a week and pay him for his labor. Stu's four year old daughter, Mariah, is thrilled...and so is Stu.

Soon Morgan is sleeping not on the couch, but in Stu's bed on the sly to shield Mariah. He finds he loves the farming lifestyle and the rural setting that is so different from Sacramento. One week becomes two and two, three.

But Stu is straight. (Or is he?)
He's been married and divorced, but out of the dating scene for years. Morgan is gay, but hesitant to show his growing feelings for Stu.

As the plot unwinds smoothly, the two men establish a routine work day and a budding relationship. Until one day Stu notices a car he has seen before back in Occident months later. Reacting quickly, he corners the driver and discovers the horrible truth behind Morgan's "dumping".

With exceptional world building, slightly sappy dialogue and snarky exchanges between all the characters, Stu and Morgan each confront their hurtful pasts in an attempt to find the best in each other.

As seems to be the rule rather than the exception lately, editing mistakes lowered my rating for this wonderful story. Otherwise, I would have happily doled out 4 stars.

(If you have read the previous books in this series, you will be happy to find Andy, Link and Stu's accepting parents make appearances!)

I'm a super-tough critic when it comes to romance novels, but I liked this one. The pacing was right, it had just enough realism and premise so it felt thought-out and researched, and not simply a shallow hop-in-the-sack smut book. There was a real relationship and partnership that develops, Stu's family is loveable and there was a decent amount of character and world-building while keeping it a fairly quick read.

Well written story and well developed characters! Morgan can't be what his parents want him to be. So he decided to take a break from college and just party since he was such a disappointment to them anyway!

I have enjoyed this series from book one. This is another good story in this series. Stu & Morgan may seem like opposites at the start but they are just what the other needed in their life. This was a good story to read.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

I absolutely loved the book. The author really gave us a good overview of what each character was about and what they wanted from each other.
