“Teach me.”

Two words I never thought I’d say while lying underneath somebody I barely know, yet here we are.

August Moore is one of the sexiest cowboys I’ve ever laid my eyes on, with a flirty smirk and southern drawl that would make anybody weak in the knees.

When I move to the small town of Wolf Creek and get a job at a local coffee shop, he sets his sights on me, and I don’t stand a chance against his charm and filthy mouth.

After an embarrassing run in with him involving hot coffee and a whole lot of flour, he does the very last thing I expect… He asks me out.

Except I’m inexperienced in every sense of the word.

And him? Well, he’s more than happy to show me the ropes as we lie under the stars late at night.

But word around town is August Moore is a one night type of guy… Am I ready for that?

August is a prequel novella to The Moore Men series. It was originally in the Saddles & Sweethearts anthology before it was unpublished.

This book was just so sweet and cute and all those nice feel-good adjectives that can be used to describe a story. Robert Hatchet did a great job with the narration of this story and at bringing both MCs to life.

August prefers to get his coffee from the fancy little coffee shop in town, and Tripp is the barista who always takes his order. All their interactions have been completely platonic, until this one day when Tripp trips while carrying a bag of flour, and well let's just say that August lost his coffee and had to go get a change of clothes before work. After this August asks Tripp on a date so he can make up for the accident and things escalate quickly.

I loved how sweet and innocent Tripp was, the nickname "sweetheart" was definitely made for him. And the way that August wanted to corrupt him, but also took his time to teach him was just swoony and hot. I just wish we had gotten to see more of those lessons.

Quote: “I had this need to spend more time with him, and even when he left later that afternoon after we all got done working, I still yearned for more. That’s new for me, but I like it.”

“I won’t bite. Unless, of course, you want me to.”

A sweet little start to the Moore Men. August and Tripp are adorable. I love a story with a reformed playboy and the sweet inexperienced guy. Narration is great as well!

This novella was such a great, fully formed story. Rob Hatchet is flawless as August & Tripp in this small town MM cowboy romance.

I was immediately drawn in by August’s endearing attraction to the barista at his coffee shop, and how he so clearly is open about his attraction to him by calling him “sweetheart”. Rob had me swooning the entirety of his performance.

Though Rob is the singular performer of this story, his character voices for both male POVs is distinct, and speaks to both the inner feelings of each character and their impact on each other. Listen carefully for the subtleties, they are there, and so well balanced.

The story is well-written. There’s plenty of spice and discovery for both characters: August is known as a “player” and starts to realize there is something about Tripp that makes him want to change his ways….and Tripp needs someone to “teach him” if you catch what I’m throwing down. So delicious, I listened to this story in one sitting. 🥰

So much story in this beautiful novella!
