All I’ve ever wanted to do was write good music and sing my heart out, but my father expects different from his eldest son.

No matter how hard I try, I can't please him and be who I really am.

But everything changed the night a hot little city girl showed up at our local bar. Her skirt was tight, and her heels were high, but she was classy - a business woman. A talent agent.

I couldn’t help but notice the way she watched me as I stood on the stage, my guitar and a mic my only companions.

What did she want from me? A long night of passion?

The cold steel of the hood of my truck pressed to her back, and my warm hard body tucked against her front?

I couldn’t tell for sure, but it didn’t matter.

Outside of ranching and singing, I started to yearn for one thing...her.

David Dawson is the oldest brother of the rowdy Dawson boys, and the one his father depends on most to help run the family ranch. Unfortunately, he’s far more interested in playing music than baling hay. He plays at the local bar and gets lucky one night. A beautiful talent agent happens to be passing through the city, and she’s desperate to find talent. Lucky, lucky girl. In more ways than one.

This is a stand-alone, full-sized novel in the Dawson Brothers’ series (eight books total). Each book focuses on a different brother/cousin. HEA is guaranteed, no cheating or violence.

David is a dedicated rancher on his family ranch but his heart wants to branch out and see where his singing can get him. Sarah is on a roadtrip that isn't going well when she finds herself in a dive bar and hears David singing at the bar. She knows instantly that he's just what she needs to give her job as a talent agent the jumpstart its been needing. Sarah didn't plan to fall hard for the hot rancher with the talent to match. I really enjoyed David & Sarahs story.

This is a complete story with NO loose strings (though the epilogue is an intro for the next book). NOT a cliffhanger. I'm not sure why but it seemed like there was a lot of time spent in the character's heads with thoughts and feelings. While the story was a little longer than average it seemed even longer than that. Action/adventure? None. Romance? Yes. Sex? Yep.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Total Package Love Story

What you get in this book by Ali Parker is a fascinating story about a ranching cowboy with hopes of a singing career and an agent trying to pull her life back together. David Dawson is the oldest son with three brothers but it is his responsibility to take over the ranch one day as has happened for generations, but he has different dreams. David sings and plays his guitar at the small bar in town for the feeling it gives him to make people happy and he's damn good at it. Sarah Myers gets lost on the way home to Tennessee from a failed attempt to sign a new client and dashed hopes of romantic tryst and ends up in Oklahoma. When she walks into a little bar called Kinsey's and orders a beer she is blown away by the incredible sexy voice singing rockabilly on the stage and with that the hope she could salvage her career. Things aren't as simple as Sarah planned. David is the total package, rough and hardworking real cowboy, sexy and a voice that could melt a woman's heart. The attraction is instant but this couple has several hurdles to cross and anything worth having is worth fighting for. This story has plot twists that will surprise you and keep you turning pages to see what could possibly happen next. The characters are so real you can almost touch them and you will definitely feel the emotion running through their veins whether it is the joy they feel or the betrayal from others and definitely the love they feel for each other. Join David and Sarah on their journey on the bumpy road of life and love. Hoping to see stories of the brothers finding their own way to a HEA and catch up on David and Sarah's life to date.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book
Thank You Ali Parker

4.0 out of 5 stars Sarah lost and tired found dreams come true in Oklahoma

Sarah was lost and tired, she saw lights ahead. As she got closer the light became two signs Kinsey's Bar and Dew Drop Inn. Alcohol and a bed too much to pass up. After getting a room she went to the bar. As she was being annoyed by a bar patron, they announced the music. David was singing. He was incredible. This starts us on a wonderful adventure from stranger to lover to friend.
My only complaint is that Ms Parker almost allows sex to over power her story. I fell in love with Sarah her friend Jenn and the family Dawson.

I loved reading Always On My Mind(Dawson Brothers Book 1). All about David Dawson who is twenty-six a cowboy/rancher & country singer and Sarah a Talent music recruiter from Tennessee. She got lost on her way back to Tennessee in a little town in Iowa, where she goes to a pub and hears David play. She knows right away she has got to get him to come back to Nashville and record a tape, he’s that good. The author wrote a story about a young women who just needs a break!! Read about David & Sarah and see how they both together make each other’s dreams come true. Included with this first book is 8 additional books. Book 1 Jaded, about Kari Martin who found her fiancé cheated on her the night before there wedding. So she calls it off and leaves NYC and goes to Maine with her two BFF’s. They have rented a mini mansion on the water, and there are three bedrooms one for each girl. First night they are there Kari & Sicily go into town to a tiny market and get fixings for dinner. While in the market she runs into a very cute guy named Jake Issac who recommends a white wine for chicken dinner. Jake & Kari hit it off and soon become boyfriend & girlfriend. Book 2 Judged is about Lisa a Real Estate Broker & Kari’s BFF and Marc Martin a twenty-one year old brother to Kari and a Biology Major at college. The two hit it off as they drive from NYC to Maine, and continue to flirt and carry on until Marc heads back to NYC for college. The long distance relationship is killing them, but they finally get together and it’s magic! Book 3 is about Sicily Moretti and she’s the third BFF and a baker & Drake DeMarco the Gym owner & Jake’s BFF. He comes over to help the girls paint the bakery and he falls instantly in love with Sicily. They have a very rocky start, but after six months she warms up to Drake and they are now boyfriend and girlfriend. Book 4 thru 6 are Christmas Novellas for each of the first three books. Then book 7 is Baited and Book 8 is the .christmas Novella for Baited. This was a very nice surprise to be able to read 9 books for free, in one Kindle Unlimited Read!! Take a chance you may even fall in love with all the characters, as I did!!

What a fantastic read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This story is about David and Sarah. David wants to be a singer but his family sees his responsibilities at the family’s ranch and shared with his brothers, Ted, Luke, Mason their oparents. Sarah is a talent agent and shows up at Kinsleys bar and hears Davids voice, she knows he is the real deal and cannot let him go. She soon falls for David. They’ve got an instant and intense attraction. A great story filled with twists and the ups and downs which at times was a tiny bit frustrating.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Sarah falls into his town as a break stop, she is always looking for new talent and she hears him sing. They get together only for his mother to send her away telling her he's engaged. David doesn't know why she fled and decides to give up his music and work the ranch but he misses Sarah.
