Story
The only thing that frustrates me more than my life, is Elliot! And the feeling is mutual. Yes, yes, I know. I let my temper run away with me again. That's what got me locked up in the first place. I hit Riley, then Elliot and I got into a fight, and now I'm stuck with the idiot 24/7. What kind of hellish punishment is that? I don't think I hate him, and I'll be the first to admit he's kind of hot, but God, will he ever just shut up!

Story
I had a stable life as a fire captain in Seattle, married to one of my best friends and raising two awesome kids. Now, my kids are grown, and my marriage is toast. I'm solidly past forty and back in my tiny hometown of Mount Hope, Oregon, filling in as a firefighter. My future is one big question mark keeping me up at night. Also keeping me up? The short-order cook at Honey's Hotcake Hut.

Story
After everything I’ve lost in my life, it’s important that I keep myself tightly guarded. Especially around Bishop Sullivan. Dad would be rolling in his grave if he found out I was shacking up with a Sullivan, given the bad blood between our families. But eleven years after leaving, I’m back in Laurel Springs with something to prove: I don’t need the Sullivans, nor their land.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

PerryI moved to San Luco to get to know my brother, and so far, it’s been great. Working as a bartender at Shenanigans, a bar close to Franklin University, there are beautiful men and women everywhere. When a hot guy falls into my arms at a party, I’m down for some naughty fun. Until I realize he’s way too drunk for anything to happen. Thankfully, we agree to meet up the next day. One near-kiss later, I discover Theo has no idea I’ve been hitting on him. He thinks we’re hanging out as buddies, and to my great regret, says he’s straight.

Duty, honor, and sacrifice. Dedicating my life to these elements, for family and country, leaves little for myself in return. It's why I indulge in a no-strings hookup with a handsome stranger mere days before heading half-a-world away. Except one night turns into a week-long fling, creating a connection at the most inopportune time. And neither of us want it to end. Staying in touch is easy at first, but dwindles to radio silence and distant memories as time passes.

Hockey is in my blood. I learned to skate before I learned how to ride a bike. I’ve been on a wild ride, playing at the highest level for some of the biggest and best teams in the league. But now it’s over, and I’m not sure what to do with myself. So I'm going home to Elmwood. But I’ll tell you what I’m not gonna do—I’m not going to coach my buddy’s junior hockey league. No chance. I don’t know how to deal with kids, and besides, the other coach—who happens to be my best friend’s brother—hates me. With reason.

A long time ago, in a suburban high school not so far away, a closeted nerd (me) and a closeted soccer star (Hutch) fell in love and planned to make their public debut at prom. Until Hutch bailed at the last minute, leaving me with a broken heart and unworn tuxedo. Tale as old as time, right? I spent the past ten years working to forget Hutch, returning to our old high school to teach and make new memories that could erase ones of him. I thought Hutch was ancient history, off living his professional athlete life.

Publisher's summary
Getting my Ph.D. is a bit of a challenge. Not falling for my hot, straight, grumpy mentor is next to impossible.
Six months undercover on a ranch known for rehabilitation is my ticket to finishing my degree. Me? I’m just a guy who’s gay, terrified of horses, and somehow convinced this is a good idea. The owners are in on my secret, but Max, my rugged, horse-whispering mentor, isn’t. Did I mention he’s infuriatingly attractive?
Thrown together, it's not just the horses we're taming. As Max and I dance around each other, an unexpected moment of closeness threatens to unravel everything. Apparently, we're both hiding secrets. Falling for him isn't part of my research, yet here I am, questioning everything for a man who might just be worth the risk.
I’m learning that the biggest discoveries often come from the heart, but will it be Max or the horses that push me to my limits?
Turns out it’s both…and a donkey named Milo.

I had a stable life as a fire captain in Seattle, married to one of my best friends and raising two awesome kids. Now, my kids are grown, and my marriage is toast. I'm solidly past forty and back in my tiny hometown of Mount Hope, Oregon, filling in as a firefighter. My future is one big question mark keeping me up at night. Also keeping me up?

Poor Ethan Schwartz. It seems like he will never find that special someone. At age forty-two, he’s still alone, his bed still empty, and his 42-inch HDTV overworked. He’s tried the bars and other places where gay men are supposed to find one another, but for Ethan, it never works out. He wonders if it ever will. Should he get a cat?

The only thing that frustrates me more than my life, is Elliot! And the feeling is mutual. Yes, yes, I know. I let my temper run away with me again. That's what got me locked up in the first place. I hit Riley, then Elliot and I got into a fight, and now I'm stuck with the idiot 24/7. What kind of hellish punishment is that? I don't think I hate him, and I'll be the first to admit he's kind of hot, but God, will he ever just shut up!

It's hard enough balancing two jobs with raising my son solo. Forget dating. I barely have time for laundry. But when my son’s scouting troop The Falcons needed a co-scout leader, I couldn’t say no. There’s just one ginormous problem: the other scout leader Russ. To all other parents, he’s #DadGoals, Mr. Sexy Widower who lords over the drop off line. To me? He’s the bane of my picket-fenced existence - stuck up, anal (not in the fun way), and definitely the person who got me booted from the Parent Teacher Association.

Love is for other people, not for me. At least that’s what I believed, until I met Julian Hill. The most famous rock star on the planet. A music god with untidy hair and the voice of an angel. I’ll never be anything but out, and he has very good reasons to stay in the closet. He just wants a little privacy. I understand that. Truly, I do. But no one makes me feel the way he does, and I’m pretty sure he has feelings for me as well. Which is inconvenient, since his record label just hired me to sue him. Guess I should’ve sorted things out before I kissed him…oops.

A long time ago, in a suburban high school not so far away, a closeted nerd (me) and a closeted soccer star (Hutch) fell in love and planned to make their public debut at prom. Until Hutch bailed at the last minute, leaving me with a broken heart and unworn tuxedo. Tale as old as time, right? I spent the past ten years working to forget Hutch, returning to our old high school to teach and make new memories that could erase ones of him. I thought Hutch was ancient history, off living his professional athlete life.

Great start to the series
This narrator always delivers and this was no exception. I had already read this book so I was delighted to see it come out in Audio. For the story: this is a great premise with some hidden identity elements but is quite centered around the relationship and conversations between the two main characters. They both develop over the course of the book with satisfying complexity. For the audio: Michael Dean always distinguishes between the two voices of the MCs- when a book is dual POV but only one narrator, it’s possible to be confused over who is talking in each chapter but his narration always has distinct voices I have come to rely on in all the books I have heard him read. He’s an amazing narrator who always keeps me in the story.

Loved the story and the narration
What I love about this author's writing: he manages to write complex characters that seem very set in their ways, but over the course of falling in love, you (and them) realise that there is so much depth to them. Not that love changes their whole personality—it doesn't—but it allows other parts of their personalities and characters to come through, showing us why they are someone the MC could fall in love with.
Romeo's writing of the grumpy/sunshine trope is top-tier, and Max is definitely the grumpiest MC I've read from him; he's a borderline asshole with very few redeeming qualities at first glance. Riley was also a wonderful character to read. Yes, he's eternally optimistic; yes, he's sunshine and rainbows, but this is an active choice he has made and continues to make daily.
Michael Dean's narration is top notch (as always) and the narration really added to my enjoyment of Max and Riley's love story.

Amazing story
I absolutely loved the story. I loved the narration for the most part, however, there were times when things were getting excited that the narrator sped up his talking, and his voice became stressed sounding. It wasn’t always appropriate to the situation, and it threw me a little, pulling me out of the story.

I Enjoyed It
“I hope Max hasn’t been too sour for your liking.”
“Sour candy has been my favorite since I was a kid,” I said without thinking, only realizing what I’d said when Max stared at me dumbfounded, and the woman’s eyes widened in delight.
“You hear that, Max? That’s what I need to start referring to you as, sour candy,” she said, and Max gave a low warning growl as his eyes narrowed on me.
“Well, at least now I’ll have a reason why you don’t like me,” I said with a nervous chuckle.
I really enjoyed this book. It was an interesting slow-burn romance. I loved the concept of Riley posing among the convicts on the ranch trying to see how well that kind of program worked for his dissertation. I've found those rehabilitation programs interesting myself, so it was nice to read about. I loved Riley's sunshiny personality and optimism. Max was his complete opposite and I enjoyed the development of their relationship.
Michael Dean did a good job bringing Riley and Max to life, as well as the supporting characters.

A great start to the series
Riley and Max are the two MCs of the first volume of Isaiah Ranch. It is known for rehabilitation and Ph.D. student Riley will spend 6 months undercover there. Riley is the sunshine type, always upbeat and brings out the best in people, but that wasn't always the case. Max on the other hand is a grumpy bear, once coming to the ranch as part of the rehabilitation program, he has stayed after and takes care of both the animals and more recently his new mentee.
I love Romeo Alexander's writing style. He writes beautifully, his characters are complex and well developed, I could visualize the settings and the animals very well and once I started the story, I was captivated. The love story is slowburn, which I really like and which is also realistic here.
I loved the interactions between Riley and Max. It was delightful to see Riley bring out a Max who not only loathes and hides from life, but who slowly comes out of his shell. They both face their inner demons and the twists and turns that ensue were quite interesting. I liked both protagonists, even if I would have liked to have nudged Max sometimes, because he can be a really stubborn guy.
The setting on the ranch is great and what I also really enjoyed were some entertaining and amusing animal encounters.
There are also some interesting secondary protagonists that I would like to get to know better, so I'm already looking forward to the next volume!
Michael Dean is a brilliant narrator and he has done a fantastic job here too. I think he captured the personalities of Max and Riley perfectly and I could always tell the difference between the two protagonists thanks to the narrator. He has a very pleasant voice and he narrates very vividly. Highly recommend!

Who Really Mentored Who?
I really enjoyed the ranch setting for this romance. I found it amusing that Max was such a grump and he was supposed to be mentoring Riley. Fun Twist because I felt like Riley mentored Max! Great introduction to a bunch of fun guys at the ranch for our next romances as well. Michael Dean's narration really animated Riley's bubbly personality and he was a perfect grumpy pants Max too!

Pushing Riley to success
In "Pushing Riley to the Max," Romeo Alexander once again showcases his talent for crafting richly detailed universes, replete with captivating locales and characters whose backstories resonate deeply with readers. This inaugural entry in the Isaiah Ranch series embraces the "grumpy/sunshine" or "opposites attract" trope, enveloping readers in a western romance ambiance from the outset. The familial bond among the characters is palpable, underscored by their interactions, while a profound connection to nature and animals imbues the narrative with added depth.
At the heart of the story are Max and Riley, two intricately developed protagonists whose authenticity leaps off the page. Riley, an undercover Ph.D. student investigating a ranch renowned for its rehabilitation programs for ex-prisoners, finds himself drawn to the enigmatic Max, a former inmate whose guarded demeanor belies a complex past. Their evolving dynamic, marked by Max's reluctant mentorship and Riley's unwavering warmth, sets the stage for a slow-burning journey of self-discovery and mutual understanding. While Riley's character arc is deftly fleshed out, Max's gradual unmasking leaves readers eagerly anticipating further exploration of his depths.
While Alexander's narrative prowess is evident throughout, occasional instances of didactic dialogue may give pause to some readers, subtly nudging the narrative towards a specific agenda. Additionally, Riley's initial interactions with Max may tread uncomfortably close to the line of unwanted attention, potentially unsettling certain readers. However, these minor quibbles notwithstanding, the groundwork laid for future installments—particularly in the vibrant depiction of the ranch and its eclectic ensemble of supporting characters—hints at intriguing narrative avenues yet to be explored.
In "Pushing Riley to the Max," Romeo Alexander delivers a poignant tale of redemption, resilience, and the transformative power of connection. With its richly drawn characters and evocative setting, this novel serves as a compelling introduction to what promises to be an enthralling series.
Have read both the book and listening to audiobook. The narrator did a phenomenal job bringing both Max and Riley to life. As well as set up the series with given detailed attention to supporting characters.
