Quiet but lonely Jared has to decide how much of himself he's willing to risk to keep party-boy Lucas.
Wealthy, attractive Lucas Reika treats life like a party, moving from bar to bar and man to man. Thumbing his nose at his restaurateur father's demand that he earn his keep, Lucas instead seduces a valued employee in the kitchen of their flagship restaurant, earning himself an ultimatum: lose access to his father's money or stay in the middle of nowhere with a man he has secretly lusted over from afar.
Quiet, hard-working Jared McFarland loves his farm on the outskirts of Hope, Arizona, but he aches to have someone to come home to at the end of the day. Jared agrees to take in his longtime crush as a favor. But when Lucas invades his heart in addition to his space, Jared has to decide how much of himself he's willing to risk and figure out if he can offer Lucas enough to keep him after his father's punishment is over.

"Jared, it's me."
Jared McFarland sighed and moved his gaze away from the jumbled numbers on the screen to the answering machine on the other side of his desk.
"I know you're there. Pick up the phone."
Susan couldn't know he was there. She lived in Phoenix, and he lived a hundred twenty-five miles west in Hope, Arizona.
"The reason I know you're there is you never leave your property and it's nine o'clock at night, which means there's not enough light for you to be working outside."
Susan's ability to read his mind terrified him.
"Plus, I know you're on your computer."
Lucky guess.
"And the reason I know you're on your computer is last time I visited, I uploaded a program that tracks everything you do on there."
Jared froze, thinking through the ramifications of that claim.
After a pause, Susan continued. "Do we need to…
Reviews
This Novella was a vacation to Hope Arizona and the quiet life of Jared McFarland. It's a story I loved with a few chuckles disguised around a familiar message. Cardeno C doesn't fail to bring happily ever after to the very loveable character of Jared McFarland and somehow pairs him with his polar opposite, Lucas...The story was an easy read and left me with a renewed sense of faith and optimism in human nature. Four Stars.
It was very romantic and you see the journey of Lucas finding in himself who he truly wants to be. In such a short story I was extremely surprised. I usually find that shorts don't give me enough story and feel rushed but this was not the case with this book, it was romantic heartfelt and genuine. It felt as if the book was written from the heart.
I loved 'McFarland's Farm', book one in a new series entitled 'Hope'. This author is a wonderful weaver of stories that always resonate within me....Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Sweet, sexy, gentle, hot, and beautiful, this is a love story worth reading and rereading. I'm adding it to my list of favorites and the guys, too. I can't wait for the next installment!
They say good things come in little packages and this beautifully written sexy novella certainly fits the bill....I loved this storyline and ... delicious and altogether addictive characters. This novella gave a whole bite size of steamy lusciousness that left me begging for more. Five stars!
