Hi everyone, I have finished Herds and Hooves and am now editing it! Nothing like last minute and I hate it!!!! I really cannot wait to have my time back and not deal with so many other things. That being said I don’t have an update for The Do Over, BUT next week I will for sure.
We’ve had a few more Foggy Basin releases this week and I’ll be sharing those with you. All of them sound so good and as soon as I upload my own I’m going to start reading. We have such a variety of people in our small town and I absolutely love it!

Herds and Hooves
Foggy Basin Season Three
https://books2read.com/HerdsandHooves
Keith Brooks has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his thirty-eight years and cannot imagine any reason to change that. He’s made a life for himself here trimming cattle hooves and occasionally working as a farrier when one of the nearby horse ranches needs it.
Bart Martin grew up in a suburb of Sacramento. Where conveniences are nearby, and he’s content with his life if not a little lonely and bored. Until he receives a call from his uncle, who lives in a tiny town in northern California that’s barely big enough to be on the map.
Bart is out of his element when he arrives at Foggy Basin during a Pride parade, and after getting lost. Lucky for him, Keith offers to help. He’s not sure he should trust the gruff man with arms the size of tree trunks, but he’s desperate. It’s a small decision that could change both their lives and force this city boy to learn to enjoy a life that he’s never considered.
Welcome to Foggy Basin. Nestled at the base of the foothills in northern California, this small town is full of characters just waiting to tell you their story. Whether you’re just passing through or you decide to stay a while longer, you’ll always find a warm welcome from the townsfolk. From farmers and animal rescues to artists and small business owners. Foggy Basin has it all.

Isaac Grant has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his twenty-three years. Everything was perfect until his favorite friend with benefits, Jack, met the love of his life. Sure, he was happy for Jack, but he missed him and wanted someone of his own to keep him warm at night, or to get into trouble with.
Tig Sawyer left Foggy Basin after only living there for a little over a year. He graduated from high school and moved onto an out-of-state college and, for the most part, never looked back. But memories of that slower pace always came back to him when he was neck deep in work, and his personal life.
Isaac was never looking for a relationship and was more than happy to live his life loose and free, but since meeting Tig, he wonders why he never wanted someone of his own. He also questions why someone like Tig, who has his life together and always seems happy as hell, would want to take him on. But there’s something in the way Tig looks at him that says he’s more than willing.
Welcome to Foggy Basin Season Two. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay, well, better find your place. Sit back, relax and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone but why not stay and get to know us and read them all.

Kace Hallard leaves Sacramento, bound for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, something he and his father had always planned to do together. When his father realizes he won’t be able to make the trip, he makes Kace promise to go on his own. He takes off, not sure he’s up to the challenge, and when he has mechanical trouble a few hours away from home, he questions his choice even more.
Striker Johnson is just out buying lunch for the guys at the shop when he notices the handsome stranger in the parking lot checking over his Harley and looking confused. He approaches him and offers his help. The next few hours fly by, and Kace asks Striker to join him.
It’s the trip of a lifetime for them both, one man looking to ease his grief, the other riding toward emotions he has no hope of controlling. One way or another they’ll have to decide if they ride together or separately, when life throws them one more curve.

Ethan Evans has spent his whole life doing what everyone else wants; working the ranch, pretending he’s straight, and trying not to drown under the weight of his parents’ expectations. After failing out of college and getting kicked into the barn like an unwanted stray, he’s stuck under the watchful eye of the new ranch boss… a man he can’t stop noticing.
⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱
Carter Higgins shows up at Willow Creek Ranch looking like he stepped out of a modern Western—rugged, calm, and carrying the quiet authority that makes people straighten up without being asked. He’s got a past he doesn’t talk about and a family he’d rather forget. What he does have is discipline, a degree in Agricultural Business, and a talent for reading people like open books.
Ethan’s trouble. Carter sees it instantly. But he also sees the fear, the longing, and the spark Ethan tries so hard to hide. Carter knows that look—he’s worn it himself.
As the two of them clash, circle, and collide in the dusty heat of Foggy Basin, lines blur fast. Ethan wants freedom. Carter wants peace. Neither expects to want the other.

Avery
One night with a handsome ex-bodyguard was all it took. Five months later, and I’m still burning for him. Moving to a small town to chase my dream of becoming a designer was supposed to be strictly professional, but the moment I lock eyes with Gideon again, my career isn’t the only thing constantly on my mind. He’s incredibly sweet, fiercely protective, and dedicated to his work, but can I convince him that what we have is the real deal?
Gideon
A gorgeous, passionate fashion designer and a quiet beekeeper don’t belong together. We’re complete opposites. I’m thirty-eight and ready to settle down. Meanwhile, Avery is living life and chasing his dream. He’s meant for bright runway lights, not to be tangled in my sheets. But when a cruel critic threatens his future, my protective instincts take over. I promised myself I wouldn’t catch feelings for him. Unfortunately, I think I’m already too late.

Dreams and Reptiles
Francis
I refer to the events of the past year as My Demise, and now that I’ve received a significant settlement, I’m ready to move on with my life. While visiting the town of Foggy Basin for their Pride Festival, I fell in love with the vibe. Lots of folks move there to start over, so why shouldn’t I? My cousin Derek shows me a quirky property for sale just outside of town, and once I see it, inspiration hits. Why not create a retreat where folks can make their dreams a reality? I ignored mine for way too long, but not anymore, and if I happen to run into the hot firefighter I shared a kiss with at Pride, well, I’ll take it as a sign.
Kendall
My entire adult life, I’ve taken care of people, and now I’m ready to start the next phase of my journey in California. I’ve spent years learning about various species of reptiles, and it just so happens that Grandma left me the perfect place to build a sanctuary. Only, I soon discover that my passion project is a bit trickier than I thought it would be. My spirits lift, however, when the saucy young guy I met at Pride moves in next door to me. At first, I worry perhaps he’s one of those wealthy people who come to town and throw their money around, but when I learn the truth about his past, I’m determined to make him see just how deserving of love he is.
Dreams and Reptiles is an age-gap, hurt/comfort romance between two men with bruised and battered hearts ready for a second chance at happiness in small-town California. For Mature Readers due to sexual content, frisky aunties, reptilian escape artists, and meddling polyamorous firefighters.

Flights and Sights
Foggy Basin Season 3
https://books2read.com/flightsandsights
Callum is counting down the days until he can escape Foggy Basin again. One month. One family reunion. Zero intentions of staying. Falling for Paxton, the charming, award-winning meadery owner he meets mid-flight while talking him through a panic attack, was never part of the plan.
Fate has other ideas. Reunited in Foggy Basin, their instant connection deepens over Paxton’s brews, late night conversations, and family reunion events, when Paxton volunteers to attend as Callum’s new boyfriend to shield him from his terrible ex. When Paxton’s dream of expanding his meadery is threatened by a stubborn developer, Callum uses the one thing he’s always trusted–his words–to help Paxton fight back. What starts as a mutual favor turns into a shared mission… and something dangerously close to love.
With family expectations closing in and his carefully planned escape uncertain, Callum has to decide if Foggy Basin is just another stop on his journey, or the place where he decides to return for good.
Flights and Sights is a low-angst, small town, spicy MM romance that includes fake dating, nosy family, honey-sweet chemistry, and finding a love worth staying for.
Welcome to Foggy Basin. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay, well, better find your place. Sit back, relax and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone but why not stay and get to know us and read them all.
