Mother Bucker

Buck Cowboys

By: Elle Thorpe

Narrated by: Stella Hunter, JF Harding

Getting pregnant then realizing your baby daddy is a cheating, lying, scumbag? That happened.

But then Abel James walks into my life. One hot look from the broad-shouldered cowboy and I’m ready for all the sexy fun I won’t be having once I start showing.

Only one problem. He’s my father’s best friend and almost twenty years older than me.

He’s off limits. I’m completely forbidden. Even if the spark between us is undeniable.

So I get on a plane to Australia. One last trip to visit friends and work on their cattle station before I come home and face my future as a single mom.

But when I get on the plane, Abel is sitting next to me, running away for reasons of his own.

So now we have three months. Three months of sharing a bathroom. Three months of seeing each other every day while trying to pretend there’s nothing between us but friendship.

Three months of falling in love with him, while keeping the biggest secret of my life.

Mother Bucker is a forced-proximity, father’s best friend, age gap romance. It has all the small-town cowboy vibes you love, with all the spice and a happily ever after. It can be listened to as a standalone.

An Australian twist

I didnt think I would like Callie after her sisters book. She showed growth and change. But of course becoming a mother can do that to a lot of women. Narration....oh my JF with an Aussi accent! Amazing job.

Roller coaster ride!

I absolutely loved loved loved this book! I loved the other “Bucker” books in the series too. This one had me laughing and frustrated at some of the characters decisions and crying. It had plenty of spice too! 🌶️ 🔥 🌶️ 🔥 🌶️ 🔥 🌶️ 😉

A secret pregnancy

This story had me hooked. She’s pregnant and keeping it a secret after being rejected by the sperm donor. Then she meets Abel, an older man who, unbeknownst to her at first, knows her entire family, making their attraction completely forbidden. But sparks don’t ask for permission, and neither of them can resist what’s building between them.

Once Abel discovers she’s carrying a child, the story takes an emotional turn that’s both satisfying and heartfelt. The ending could not have been better.

This series has been nothing short of amazing, and listening to it on Audible made the experience even better. The narration truly brought the characters and emotions to life. Highly recommend!
