ISO: In Search Of (After Oscar Book 4)
£4.99
How in the world does a grumpy rancher end up falling for a rich dilettante?
Richard Dunning has it all: private school education, an exquisite designer wardrobe, a last name that ensures he’s invited to all the best parties, and a skincare regimen that’s to die for.
The only thing he doesn’t have is… well, a job. Or a home. Or money in the bank. Not since his dad cut him off.
So when his best frenemy approaches him with a bet—spend a month working as a cowhand on some godforsaken Wyoming ranch in exchange for his dream job—he’s a little too proud and a lot too desperate to say no.
But from the moment Richard and his rhinestone cowboy hat show up at the Silver Fork Ranch, nothing is as expected.
Not the beautiful vistas, not the terrifying horses, not the friendly people, not the epic quantities of cow manure, and definitely not Boone Hammond, the rugged rancher whose eyes are a little too intense, whose expectations are a little too high, and whose kisses are… a lot too tempting.
But when his month on the ranch comes to a close, Richard must choose: return to the safe, luxurious life he thought he wanted… or risk everything for the love he’s been IN SEARCH OF all along.

I’ve loved this series so much!!! Richard and Boone are brilliant together and hilarious too!!! I’m so looking forward to Oscar’s book!! Hope we don’t have to wait to long!!!
by Dawn Barrell
It’s over three years since the last After Oscar book and at first I struggled to remember the previous characters. I did remember not liking Richard too much in the last book, he used to live with the lovely lawyer James, a very good friend of Oscar’s, but he came over as rich, spoilt and entitled, a party animal who wasn’t right for James, but by the end of that book I had warmed to him.
In this book we see a very different Richard, one who has turned his back on his controlling father and is finding life very difficult. We find that he is hiding a lot of insecurities under his seemingly over confident exterior.
Boone is a gorgeous cowboy who owns a cattle ranch in Wyoming and is Oscar’s best and oldest friend and is a bit older than Richard. Boone is desperate for ranch hands and Oscar not being too fond of Richard and the way he treated James, makes a bet with Richard that he can’t last a month on the ranch doing back breaking menial work. Unbeknown to Oscar and James, Richard is desperate for work, money and somewhere to live so he accepts the bet.
When Richard arrives at the ranch in his sparkly cowboy hat, designer clothes and sassy mouth, Boone is straight on the phone to Oscar!
Richard and Boone made a lovely couple, total opposites but with chemistry that was ????and I loved the other characters on Boone’s ranch.
I was pleased to read that the final book in the series will actually be Oscar’s. Although the series is named after him he is always in the background, matchmaking and marrying some of his ex’s off. He has had many, many ex’s but has never found his special person so it will be good to see who can catch him.
A funny and entertaining story.

Love this series so much!!
Must admit I struggled to like Richard in the first few chapters, but thank the lord I stuck with it! He has so much hurt that he hides behind his snarky replies.
Boone is the perfect cowboy to see through his front to the beautiful broken boy beneath ???? the definition of opposites attract ????
I loved all the secondary characters and can’t wait to finally get Oscar’s HEA ????????

This was a fun book, it was inevitable that Oscar’s matchmaking would once again result in a perfect pair finding their happy ending.
We last saw Richard breaking James’ heart in book three (James himself first appearing in book one!) but I didn’t remember Boone from any previous stories.
He’s apparently another Oscar ex, but in this case, they go way back, to their Texas childhood and th being high school sweethearts until their paths diverged a few years after escaping their small town lives.
I loved Boone, he’s the guy you want by your side, supportive and offering up no-nonsense advice and a solid platform to lean on.
Richard, obviously, also has way more depth to him too and we also get to see him stretch his wings and find a purpose.
This is both an instant attraction and a slow burn, because it takes a while for them to act on it, which works beautifully for the storytelling.
When they give in though, it’s a delicious blend of needy Richard and commanding Boone teasing things out until they explode in a mess of emotions and steamy outdoor sex.
I loved the rest of the guys on the ranch too, although the secondary plot felt a bit like it was just there for something else to ge happening. It wrapped up a bit smoothly and without any real recourse for the trouble caused.
Overall though, this was a good addition and leaves just Oscar himself in the final book of the series!
