About this listen

Second chances aren’t always easy. Sometimes, it takes some rough love.

Bruce Tannen is better known by his nickname Brutal, because once upon a time, he was a monster on the football field. Now, he’s a farmhand on what used to be his family’s land, and change is all around him.

A new family, new expectations, and even new friends. It’s all just fine by him until he runs into the one woman to ever hold his heart. The past comes back with a wallop of a tackle that even he can’t take.

Allyson left him a lifetime ago, but she’s the only thing that’s ever felt right...in his arms, in his heart, in his life. Something’s different, though. She’s a shadow of her former self, and he wonders what could’ve dulled her shine. He can help fight her demons to bring back that sunny smile he used to bask in, but should he?

Allyson Meyers knew who she was and where she was going, but a wrong turn years ago took her on a journey she never imagined. Not even in her worst nightmares. It was ugly, but she’s stronger now for the one person who matters: her son, Cooper.

Being a single mother is a burden she’s grateful to bear alone until she sees a pair of all-too-familiar broad shoulders and dark, knowing eyes that remind her of who she once was.

Bruce was the one she'd left behind, the path she should’ve taken. It’s too bad you can’t rewrite history. But if she’s brave enough, maybe they could create a new future?

Loved it

Allyson and Bruce had young love, they were each others everything until  Allyson broke Bruce's heart and their future dreams of being together forever. Now 10 years later Allyson is a single mom to Cooper having moved back to her him town. Bruce is still working on the farms like the rest of the tannen boys. Allyson and Bruce meet again when Bruce starts to coach her son's football team. Bruce is still mad at her for breaking his heart, and Allyson is mad at him as well. Will Bruce find out why she broke him? Will they get a second chance at love? Will they get a HEA?

Rough love

Your books are really good, but I hate the f word every time you turn around. Do people not know how to talk without it.
Great storyline and performance.

Can you not?!

The male narrator felt it was necessary to take a deep breath before every sentence, very amateur. I couldn't ignore it so I finished the book on Kindle U.

Love these Tannen Boys!

What happens when the love of your life returns home years after leaving? Bruce Tannen gets to find out exactly what happens when his high school sweetheart Allyson returns with her son Cooper. Lauren Landish has woven a second chance romance that steals your heart and invests your soul. Bruce is just what he appears to be. There is no illusion to him, what you see is what you get. And believe me when I say, you will love this growlie rancher as he coaches football and woos Allyson. Allyson is guarded and for good reason. I have to say there were a couple of times I wanted to pull her along just so she could see what she could be having, but I am so glad her story played out as it did. And Cooper...what a kid! I can't even begin to say how much this boy added to the story! I loved every minute of it, from the reuniting of old loves to the squabbling and protectiveness of the Tannen brothers. It's an incredible start to this series and I can't wait for more.

Landish casts her narrators so well that you would think the story is written for these voices. Tor Thom is the alpha, swoonworthy Bruce, with his abundance of bravado and warm baritone voice. Carly Robins comes in as Allyson, very hesitant yet very self confident. This team is the perfect fit and enhanced the story so much that I could not stop listening! Loved every minute of the book.

A wonderful and exciting story

This book will have you hanging on to every word. It’s a emotional ride but so loving and definitely a book that will have you cheering this couple on. I never find any worries with these two narrators. Always an amazing story from Lauren Landish.

Great story and narration

Book one in the Tannen Boys series and was an entertaining story which is narrated by Tor Thom and Carly Robbins who portray Bruce (Brutal) Tannen and Allyson Meyer. This is a second chance at love story that ticked the boxes for me.

Allyson is the woman who walked away but now fate puts them in one another’s path again. Bruce is shocked at how much she has changed, she is a former shadow of herself and he is disturbed. The struggle whether to help Allyson is very real. Can they work it out this time and in doing so forgive and come to terms with the past?

This was a steamy, at times emotional and heart warming story and one that I enjoyed. The narrators did a great job bringing the story to life for me.

Strength of Letting Go

Lauren never disappoints. Rough Love is just as amazing as the previous stories. So great to hear how the Tannen men are growing after their loss. Wonderful to see the Bennett and Tannen clans become a family. I love Momma Louise. Already purchased the other two. Excited to hear about their futures.
