SADDLE TO SUNUP

The Darling Brothers - Book Three

by Emmy Sanders

Release Date: December 18, 2025

Review

Saddle to Sunup gives me Fool Hearts vibes.  Best friends, pinning, and an unending commitment to supporting and loving each other. Emmy writes those epic love stories that span a lifetime incredibly well. Stories that will stick with you forever. And Lawson and Oakley are two such men. 


The Peter Pan theme was heart-warming, and the oldest Darling brother finally finding himself and a love that is perfect for him is everything. The Darling family is chaotic and loud, and love hard, and I enjoy them all immensely, but there’s something about the quieter caregiver, who is terrible at asking for help and care for himself, getting all of that and more from the perfect-for-him Oakley.


They have to learn to trust that their friendship can be more, but when they do…hearts in your eyes, fireworks explode, house cow distribution system finds you, and Santa brings you everything on your wish list.

Synopsis

He gave me my first kiss. I never expected he might be my last.


Lawson

Ever since Oakley Beaumont skipped town, it feels as if my life has gone off the rails. Even worse than my divorce and moving back into my childhood bedroom at the Darling Ranch is the fact that I’m learning there’s a whole lot about myself I simply don’t know.


Like whether or not I’m straight.


And why the sudden absence of my best friend left a hole in my chest I haven’t been able to fill in the three years he’s been gone.


First things first: I need to bring Oakley home.


Then maybe I can tackle the matter of my love life. After all, I’m ready to get back in the saddle.


And who better to help me than the cowboy who once promised me forever?


Saddle to Sunup is a friends-to-lovers romance set in small town Montana, with a queer awakening for a single dad in his forties, a reunion that feels a lot like a second chance, playful banter, a bit of rope, and one very HEA. It’s book 3 in The Darling Brothers series but can be read as a standalone.

REVIEW: Resting Beach Face by DJ Jamison (Swallow Cove #4)

  RESTING BEACH FACE Swallow Cove - Book Four by DJ Jamison Release Date: February 20, 2025 Review Declan is so beautiful. Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely. Then there’s Cash - outgoing, sexual, and completely obsessed with Declan.  It’s a slow burn. One that requires both of them to shift their understanding of each other, and time to truly learn and understand both themselves and the other. I love both the trajectory of the relationship as well as the life and home they build.  It’s a truly wonderful pairing that may be my favourite in the series. Sure I see a bit of myself in Declan, but I also just adore the way Cash grew and how they balanced each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me? Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely. We should be like oil and water....

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Tennant Mason is the Amato Family’s Second in Command. He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...
