Audiobook Review: Cowboys Don't Come Out (Cowboys Don't #1) by Tara Lain

Rand McIntyre settles for good enough. He loves his small California ranch, raising horses, and teaching riding to the kids he adores—but having kids of his own and someone to love means coming out, and that would jeopardize everything he’s built. Then, despite his terror of flying, he goes on a holiday to Hana, Hawaii, with his parents and meets the dark and mysterious Kai Kealoha, a genuine Hawaiian cowboy. Rand takes to Kai’s kid brother and sister as much as he drools over Kai, but the guy sports more prickles than a horned toad and more secrets than the exotic land he comes from.

Kai’s earned his privacy and lives to protect his “kids.” He ought to stay away from the big, handsome cowboy for everyone’s sake—but since the guy’s just a haole on a short vacation, how much damage can he do? When all of Kai’s worst fears and Rand’s darkest nightmares come true at once, there’s not much chance for two cowboys who can’t—or won’t—come out.

I absolutely loved this book! The story is engaging, heart warming, emotional and hot. The narration is fabulous, with lovely characterisation and super pronunciation of the Hawaiian words, it was almost like being there!

Rand and Kai go on such an epic journey together and these two cowboys do, in fact come out, and the ending is super sweet and swoony. I loved the supporting characters too, the ranch hands, Jen and Rand’s parents were realistic and relatable. That Rand’s folks embraced the kids who had been through so much was just right.

KC Kelly is now on my list of narrators to look out for!

Highly recommended!

I was given a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
