Rocky Mountain Forever
Summary
A return to the best-selling Six Pack Ranch series by New York Times best-selling author Vivian Arend. While this book contains a stand-alone romance, it’s best enjoyed as a part of the series. It’s never too late for love. Years ago, Mark Coleman made the only possible choice and left Rocky Mountain House before he tore his family apart. When he hears the four clans - Six Pack, Whiskey Creek, Moonshine, and Angel - are working together to create a memory book, Mark also discovers the one detail that finally triggers his return. Because he’s not just coming back to the family. Now that Dana is free and ready to move on, Mark plans to give the only woman he’s ever loved all the devotion and happiness she deserves, no matter how much sweet-talking - or dirty talk - it takes. Meanwhile, when a shocking truth is shared with the oldest of the Six Pack sons, Blake Coleman begins a journey of assessment. Can he really fill his father’s boots and be the leader his generation turns to for guidance? With lots of visits with all your favorite Colemans, this is a celebration of love and the lessons learned along the way. Warning: This book is full of happily-ever-afters. Lots of I love yous, lots of babies, lots of laughter and happy tears. Pretty much, listeners familiar with the series have a ton of feel-good hours of listening ahead. If you want angst - this isn’t it.

Summary
The final novel in the best-selling Six Pack Ranch series by New York Times best-selling author Vivian Arend. There's no distance you can run to escape the past. Too stubborn to face his sins, Jesse Coleman bolted from the Six Pack Ranch only to fall straight into the arms of a beautiful stranger. Twelve hours later the seductive firebrand is nothing but a whiskey-laced memory - but one powerful enough to convince Jesse tracking down his elusive lover is worth the effort. Darilyn Hayes figured it was her lucky night when the sexiest cowboy in Alberta interrupted her annual drink-until-I-fall-over wake. At least until four weeks later, when she discovers she's pregnant and her one-night-stand is nowhere to be found. Still, as she's shared with her devoted blog readers, Dare has dealt with life's not-so-gentle surprises before. She'll make it on her own. When a meme gone viral leads to their reunion, Jesse's floored by Dare's news. She's very clear she's not looking for a commitment, but screw that. He's going to do the right thing by her and his unborn kid. The fact they lit the sheets on fire is a bonus, but with a baby on the way, both their lives are gonna change. Jesse's got a ton of family to reconnect with, including his estranged twin. Dare holds family loosely - even though she loves them - because she knows too well how fragile life can be. Between her and Jesse, they've got enough baggage to open a store. But they still have a shot at forever - if they're willing to fight for it. This final novel in the series contains the following: a sexy, dirty, cocky-as-hell prodigal-son Coleman with massive bridges to rebuild. A woman able to see to the heart of the matter yet bold enough to speak the truth. A family of extraordinary resolve and endless love. A wedding or two. And babies - oh lordy, the babies.
