Welcome to Clean Slate Ranch: Home of tight jeans, cowboy boots and rough trails. For some men, it’s a fantasy come true. Shawn Matthews never imagined he’d be living out of his car, trying to make ends meet, but life doesn’t always go your way–he knows that better than most. When an accident leaves the Clean Slate Ranch shorthanded, Shawn is enlisted to help cook and finds himself bunked next … bunked next to the sexiest cowboy he’s ever laid eyes on.
The first time Robin Butler spots the new chef, he thinks he’s seeing an actual ghost. Shawn is the spitting image of his late husband, and it spooks the hell out of him. The former rodeo-star-turned-ranch-hand does his best to avoid the soft-spoken cook–except it’s kind of tough when the man makes the best damn grub this side of the Mississippi and has a boy-next-door charm that’s impossible to resist.
Even though the tension between them practically sizzles, Shawn doesn’t do hookups and Robin isn’t ready for a new relationship. Besides, Robin can tell Shawn’s been hurt and deserves a partner who isn’t saddled with a tragic past. But chemistry doesn’t lie. Maybe finding each other–and a second chance at love–is the lucky break they both need.

Lucky Break is the fourth book in the Clean Slate Ranch series by author A.M. Arthur. I really enjoyed this story. I have not read the previous books in this story and I was not lost starting with this title.
Shawn is a seasonal sous chef at the local saloon. He is about to be jobless for a few months while the saloon goes on break. He is not looking forward to living out of his car, but he does not have a ton of options going for him. This town is the first place in five years that he has felt like he might have found a home.
Robin loves sunshine. He works at the Clean Slate Ranch. Vapes so he doesn’t smell like smoke around the horses and tourists. he has a constant companion with insomnia. He posts sunrises on his Instagram account. He really wants a human connection that means something.
The cook breaks her arm and the sheriff finds Shawn living in his car. It is a lucky break for both men. Shawn gets a home and a job and Robin might have found his special someone.
I loved how easily these two come together. They have a lot of baggage, but they can get through it if they learn to trust each other.
When you want a story to make you believe in true love and good souls can win the day, I highly suggest this book for you.
