Trucker Love, 1

When best-selling children’s author and illustrator Shepherd Stone found out his father, the senator, had sold him to a human trafficker, his first thought was to get away, even though he was naked. He hoped to hide, but instead ran into a hot, sexy trucker willing to help him escape.

Brogan Myles was prepping for another long day of driving his truck when a naked man running across the truck stop parking lot caught his attention. Rescuing the man felt like the right thing to do, not only for his sake, but also to keep the growing loneliness of the road at bay.

How far would Shepherd’s father go to get him back? Would Brogan kick him out on the highway when he discovered why Shepherd was running? Can two vastly different men share the small sleeper cab while traveling across the country?

Be Warned: m/m sex

 

Excerpt:

“You need some help, Hoss?” he asked softly, knowing there were men sleeping in their trucks on either side of his.

The man squealed and turned his head to stare at Brogan with wide eyes. He slowed to a trot and angled to where Brogan stood. “Shit, you scared me. And yes, I could use some help, please. Where are you headed?”

Brogan hesitated a moment, wondering if this was a new ploy to rob a trucker. But since he was a foot taller and probably a hundred pounds heavier than this sweet man, he wasn’t too worried about it. The fact that he had a 9 mm tucked in its holster in the middle of his back added to his confidence.

A wolf whistle from farther down the line of tractor-trailer trucks had Brogan frowning. “How about you get in the cab and put those clothes on. Then we’ll talk.”

The man looked toward the truck stop’s main building once more before nodding. Brogan escorted him around to the passenger side and opened it.

“How do I?” The man looked from the high door to him.

Brogan demonstrated how to climb up to the cab and then descended again. “Give me your stuff.”

The man hesitated only a moment before handing Brogan his clothes. He then quickly clambered up to the cab. Brogan was shocked when his cock came to life watching the man’s ass flex and contract. He was tempted to lean in and take a bite out of the round cheeks. But that was the last thing this man needed at this moment in time. He needed help, not to be propositioned. Especially since he didn’t know if the man was even gay, though the sparkly purple cowboys made him think he was.

A commotion across the parking lot drew his attention. Two men in black suits had just emerged from the building and were talking as they scanned the parking lot. No doubt looking at the man in his truck.

Handing the man’s clothes up, he said, “You can slide between the seats to the back and get dressed there, Hoss. Just push through the curtain. There’s a pop-on light on the left side wall.”

“Thank you.” The man looked down and gave him a hesitant smile before disappearing into his home on wheels.

Brogan flipped the lock and then closed the door before doing an abbreviated walk around. It was time to get the hell out of town. As he opened the driver’s door, the two men were approaching.

They were big and built, though not as tall or broad as he was. They were also wearing slick, expensive looking suits while Brogan was in his work uniform of tan cargo pants and a burgundy Henley shirt with the 3 Myles To Go logo on the chest.

“Have you seen a man out here?” One of them held his hand up. “About this tall with curly brown hair?”

 Brogan shook his head. “Sorry, can’t say I have. He lift your wallet or something?”

The man shook his head and ignored his question. Turning to his partner, he started walking away. “Maybe he went the other way. Reymundos will kill us if we lose him. And if he doesn’t, the senator will.”

Interesting and Exciting
Written by smjw2004 on 14th Jan 2025

There was so much packed into this novella. Life on the road can be lonely. Brogan knew this first hand. Things quickly changed when he comes across Shephard, a man who was kidnapped and sold as a sex slave. Things heat up fast, and can quickly become very dangerous.

I Enjoyed It
Written by Nina D on 14th Jan 2025

"You are the other half of my soul, on the road or in the bedroom.” I really enjoyed this book. It was an action adventure romance with suspense. I loved both Shepherd and Brogan. Brogan saw an almost naked panicked man running at a truck stop and rescued him. Them on the run from Shepherd's pursuers was exciting. They were cute together and their chemistry sizzled. Ending wrapped up too neatly, but I enjoyed the journey. This was the first book I've read by this author and I would read more. 4 stars.

Really cute
Written by Mamato4 on 14th Jan 2025

I really enjoy this author so I was excited to read the story. It was really cute. She definitely has a way of making you really hate a character which I absolutely loved. This was a sweet book it does have some action going on in it but I thoroughly enjoyed it

Tense!
Written by C. B. on 14th Jan 2025

Brogan, a long haul trucker is used to the loneliness of the road. He doesn't like it, but it's a living. Shephard, was kidnapped and told he was going to be sold as a sex slave in South America. Their first meeting was dramatic and hot. Brogan and Shephard go on an adventure that could have dire consequences and is dangerous while it is a good chance ot create new and manage expectations. Good story, way too short. It would be delightfful if expanded and fleshed out. I like Brogan and Shephard and they made and excellent story. Well done!

5/5
Sweet, spicy with a bit of danger and insta-attraction
Written by EPM on 14th Jan 2025

This was my first read by this author and I was hooked. I do love a good trucker book, and this one definitely fit the bill. It was a quick read and I found it to be sweet, spicy with a bit of danger, insta-attraction, it is past paced over a short time frame. I liked the fact that while Shepherd needed rescuing, he wasn't totally dependent upon Brogan. I can't wait for the other brothers to get their stories.

In It For the Long Haul
Written by Luv2Read17 on 14th Jan 2025

Brogan, a truck driver (and co-owner of 3 Myles To Go trucking company) sees a naked man running across the parking lot (naked except for sparky purple cowboy boots that is) and decides to help him. Shepherd was almost taken by two men when Brogan sees him and offers help, which he accepts. The men were there o. his father's (the senator) orders as he sold Shepherd... I liked the way Brogan and Shepherd bonded and were at ease with each other. Yes, it's insta-love, but the book is under 100 pages, so I expect it. There were some hot scenes (loved the flexibility of both men) and I'm hoping the series will have Harry and Sam's stories soon.

Road to attraction and love
Written by Laora on 14th Jan 2025

4+ I love, love that this novella is set in the trucking community. Brogan is an openminded man who helps Shephard when he needs it most. Shephard is the other main character who is an artist and author with a mind of his own and wanting his freedom from his despicaple father. The one thing I did not understand why he felt he needed to pay the money hsi father got and spend to the criminal? Did not make sense, why did they not just contacted law enforcement. That is why I did not rate it higher. This is a fast evolving story over a fairly short timeline. They have a quick attraction and find their hfn/ hea and Shephard finds his safe space and new home. Looking forward to the other triplets (brothers of Brogan) their stories.

4/5
Good shorter read.
Written by dubdub on 14th Jan 2025

A great read but feel that if it had been longer it would have added alot more depth to the plot and characters. However It was well written and fast paced with a good underlying plot (though short) and great characters. As it's the first book in this new series I am hoping the author expands the next book to give us more!

4/5
Cute, sweet and steamy
Written by LBing on 14th Jan 2025

This was a fun fast read that brought together Shepherd, a guy on the run from his father's machinations, and Brogan, the trucker who saved him. This is an insta-love romance so things happen quickly. These two were great together and I liked the DDlb feeling to their romance. Shepherd was a sweetie and Brogan, rather dominant but lonely. It really was the perfect match and I'm looking forward to the next book :D

Finding love as it runs past you at a truck stop...
Written by Soteira on 14th Jan 2025

I enjoyed this super cute, sweet story of finding love at it runs into you at a truck stop :) Brogan is a burly cinnamon roll trucker who sees Shepherd, the gay and unbeloved son of a senator, running starkers in a truck stop parking lot, and rescues him by taking him along in his truck. It's very insta-lust and insta-love, but they get to know each other during this brief adventure and get their HEA. I really enjoyed it!

4/5
Hoss
Written by SMK9 on 14th Jan 2025

This is a fun and quick read that brings together a truck driver and a rich boy on the run. It kind of gives off Dom/sub or DDlb vibes just by the dominance and take-charge attitude Brogan exudes. Shepherd is sweet and very inquisitive about everything from how the truck hauls work to how smexy times happen. I giggled out loud when Brogan had to explain to Shepherd why he nicknamed him "Hoss". I really enjoyed reading this novella and hope to see what happens with Brogan's two brothers down the line.

Enjoyable quick read
Written by Rani on 14th Jan 2025

This was a really quick read so it didn't really feel like it dealt with everything in depth but was still an enjoyable read.

A really fast paced, exciting read
Written by Anne H on 14th Jan 2025

A really fast paced, exciting read I have got to say I really enjoyed this read. It’s a quick read about a trucker called Brogan Myles. Who was at a truckstop when he sees a naked man, wearing only a pair of purple, sparkly boots running as though his life depended on it. There was something about this guy that made Brogan shout out to offer help. Shepherd had been kidnapped from his house from his bed by two guards, who were taking him to a drug lord and trafficker all, because his father, the senator sold his son bevcause he couldn’t accept that his son was gay and he didn’t have a respectable job. He despises his father! when he can He makes an escape and comes face-to-face with an extremely sexy man who offers to help. Shepherds had to make a decision quickly and decided he would be safer with this man , and on Blind Faith accepted his help. Would shepherds tell Brogan the truth ?? Would Brogan believe him? What was the future for these two?? I’ve got to say I enjoyed both of these guys. I think the attraction between them was instant and there was always an undercurrent of things going further, but that was if Brogan could keep him safe. I think the passion between these two are extremely hot and the chemistry is off the charts. The one thing I would say is the ending felt very rushed to me. You know these guys had only known each other a couple of days I know when you know you know but I don’t know just felt a little bit off to me. I hope that we get a book about the brothers I think that would be a really nice touch.

5/5
Super sweet with some steam
Written by Angela N on 14th Jan 2025

I thought these two were great! Brogan and Shepherd were so cute and sweet together. From the moment these two met there was chemistry, an ease of being together, and they clicked so well. Yes the timeline and the story moves quickly. There is some danger as Shepherd is running from his dad and Brogan is helping. It’s cute, it’s sweet, and there is some nice steam that makes it fantastic. Definitely recommend. I did receive an ARC from Booksprout and this is my honest opinion.

sweet MM love story
Written by readsalldaynnight on 14th Jan 2025

This was actually a surprisingly sweet love story between a trucker who rescues the son of a senator after he was abducted and was on route to be sold. The way their relationship blossoms is so sweet.
