Cowboy Casual

The Calloway Ranch Series, Book 1

By: Holly Renee

Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Thomas Oakley

Blaire Monroe is the only woman I've ever loved, and the only one I've let break my heart.

It's been ten years since she ran from this town, chasing a life that didn't include the cowboy next door who blurred the line between best friend and something more.

Now she's back. Fresh off a busted engagement and hiding out on her grandmother's crumbling strawberry farm like the past never happened. Like she doesn't still linger in every part of me I've spent years trying to erase.

But Blaire isn't the kind of girl you forget. She's wildfire: reckless, untamed, and impossible to hold without getting scorched.

We collide the second we're in the same room. Too much heat. Too much history. Not nearly enough distance.

The tension crackles, the pull is impossible, and before long, we're right back where we swore we'd never be—pressed against the wall, her hands in my hair, my mouth on hers like I've been starving for a decade.

I tell myself I can handle it. But the truth is, this cowboy was never meant for casual. Not with her. And sure as hell not again.

Narrated in duet style.

No 3rd act breakup

this was a great story. I didnt fully understand why Blair was so hesitant to get back together with Colt when it was obvious he was serious about her but I've never been in that situation. love 2nd chance romance. I wasn't 100% on the male narrator. he was fine though. Samantha Brentmoor was perfection, as always. my favorite thing, no 3rd act breakup. I love all of the side characters. can't wait for the next couple of books. one thing that frusted me though was how much internal dialog. when they were talking to eachother, i feel like the author over did it on the internal dialog. Overall, good read.

Loved it!

Amazing narrators! The story was so good, I felt like I was a fly on the wall for everything! Daddy Colt is top tier and Blair was a delight! Her growth was incredible!

loveed it

Okay, wow, this book was every bit as good as that stunning cover! This was my first Holly Renee read, and she absolutely delivered. I loved the no nonsense, fast paced writing style; it gets straight to the point and keeps you hooked.

Colt is the definition of husband material. A possessive, dirty mouthed cowboy who is *also* in his girl-dad era? It made him a million times sexier! The small town farm vibes, his amazing family, and the sweet grandmother made the setting so cozy. If you’re looking for a steamy cowboy book boyfriend, Colt understood the assignment. 🤠🔥

Withstood the HYPE!

I kept seeing this all over booktok and as a strict audiobook girly I was WAITING for the day the audio came out and let me say this did not disappoint!

Thank GOD this was narrated in duet style because it made this listen that much better. Both narrators absolutely killed it and made me fall in love with characters that much more.

This is a small-town, second chance romance that will pull at your heartstrings but also has the perfect amount of spice (3.5/5 spice).

I really hope the audiobook for the next book gets released at the same time because I’m dying for Hunter & Maggie’s book!

Loved this cowboy romance!

Cowboy Casual takes me deep into my cowboy romance era because who wouldn’t fall for a handsome cowboy who cares deeply for those he loves.
This second chance, single dad romance story is sweet from the strawberry jam to the love between Blair and Colt. They may have taken the long road to happiness but the journey was worth it.
I also had the added benefit of listening to the audio version of this story and the narrators did an amazing job that absolutely added to my enjoyment of this book.
