Vicki Lewis Thompson: Rolling Like Thunder

The last cowboy...

All work and no play makes Finn a dull cowboy. Since his divorce, Finn O’Roarke has put all of his time into his Seattle-based microbrewery, unaware that back in Wyoming, his foster parents are on the verge of ruin. Now Finn and his foster brothers are trying to save Thunder Mountain Ranch—and only one woman can help them turn it all around.

Marketing guru Chelsea Trask has had a thing for the gorgeous brewer for ages. When they work together at Thunder Mountain Ranch, however, she starts to see Finn’s cowboy side. And it’s irresistibly hot. Best of all, the attraction that’s been sizzling beneath the surface has erupted in some very sexy situations. But is Chelsea falling for the real Finn...or for the cowboy he used to be?

As a card-carrying member of Workaholics Anonymous, I completely identify with Finn O’Roarke. He brews beer for a living and I write stories, but we’re from the same tribe. We get a whole lot accomplished, but we can’t seem to locate the off switch.

Because of that, I loved hauling Finn from his microbrewery in Seattle to his cowboy roots in Wyoming so he could rediscover the simple joys of ranch life and maybe even allow himself to fall in love. The core values he learned as a foster kid at Thunder Mountain Ranch might be the very things that save him from himself.

And for those of you who loved my Sons of Chance series, I have a treat for you in this book. You’ll get to revisit the Last Chance Ranch and catch up with some of your old friends. I promised that the Thunder Mountain Brotherhood series would intersect with the Sons of Chance series here and there, and this is one of those times!

So grab a cool drink and a shady spot because I have plenty to tell you and you won’t want to miss a single thing. You especially won’t want to miss the moment when Finn realizes it’s time to cowboy up!

Your devoted storyteller,

Rolling Like Thunder
