Dalton Andrews has seen it all. After spending a little over ten years with the Denver PD, he’d had enough and joined Wildlife Services, not expecting it to be such an isolating career. When his job takes him on assignment to Crooked Bend, he jumps at the chance to work with actual people again when the town’s sheriff needs to hire a few more deputies. While at his new boss’ wedding reception, he … he unexpectedly meets a blue-eyed architect that makes his brain go fuzzy.
Collin McKenzie has trust issues. After countless bad experiences, culminating in spending over a year hidden in the closet by his ex, he decided enough was enough. He not only broke up with him, but he moved to a different state to start fresh. He loves working for the Welsh brothers and living in Wyoming puts him closer to his family. He’s sworn off men, but while attending a wedding, he sees a dark-haired man that makes him catch his breath.
After spending an unforgettable night together, Collin mistakenly lumps Dalton in with his past experiences. Things are awkward between them, but the attraction is there and undeniable, so they agree to give it a try. But when Collin’s ex finds him in Wyoming and won’t take no for an answer, Dalton steps up and claims what he wants, Collin. But will he be able to protect the man he’s quickly falling hard for? And will Collin ever trust him enough to let him in?

Ever since Collin appeared in the Crooked Bend series, I was so excited to hear that he got his own book! I loved Collin and Dalton! In the beginning I was cheering them on even though they were so hesitant from getting together! I love how supportive their families are and enjoy that they call their dog Daisy their daughter! It’s so sweet and an incredible story! I’m so excited for the next book!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the connection between Dalton and Collin when they finally got their sh*t together. Due to how Collin’s last relationship ended he lumped Dalton in with him, it didn’t help that they went home with each other after Jacob and Isaac’s wedding so he assumed that it was just a one time thing. Man Collin’s ex is completely insane, with everything he put Collin and Dalton through. I Ioved the connection between Collin and his younger brother Daniel. I’m looking forward to the next book. I’d recommend this book, series and author.
Protecting My Commitment is the first book in the Sulfur Springs series. This series seems to be a spin-off from the Men of Crooked Bend series, which I haven’t read, and although I can definitely tell that some of the characters have more history than is depicted in this book, I never felt confused or lost during the story.
Protecting my Commitment was just an average romance. The characters had some immature relationship issues which seemed a little flimsy to make such a huge plot point, especially in the beginning. I did like the drama with the stalker—it was over the top, but I enjoyed the drama and the protective streak that came out. This is one of those books that hits on different tropes and gives the reader a huge dose of fluff and sass which I found satisfying. I liked this book and it was easy to read and had me interested in the next book in the series.
The audiobook was narrated by Michael Dean who did a fantastic job like always. Michael voiced all the characters wonderfully and gave us a perfect performance. The audiobook production was nicely done and overall I liked the audiobook.
This is my first time reading/listening to a Taylor Rylan book, but won’t be my last.
Small town Deputy Sheriff Dalton and an Architect Colin have issues not just with each other but with themselves.
This book has a few twists to it, and some sad moments, but I have to say I had jaw ache from smiling so much when I finished reading this book. Can’t wait to read book two in this series
Dalton and Collin. Their story starts off with a misunderstanding, one that basically make these to not able to talk to one another. Collin thought that he was just being used by another person that doesn’t want him. Dalton has this thought that Collin is just someone that needs to grow up some more, because that’s one thing he doesn’t need in his life.
The attraction between these two was strong. And they just could quite figure out in the beginning how to make the other see that they are actually in it for the long haul. Then trouble finds Collin and Dalton isn’t able to hold his feeling back anymore. Trouble was the one thing that was needed for both of these hard headed men to see what was right in front of them.
Then the best character of them all was added into the mix, Daisy. Just kidding, but really I love how there was this one part to Dalton’s life that made him a little more human and showed a softer side to this deputy.
This was a great start for this new series. It was nice seeing some of the other characters that was introduced in the Crooked Bend series. I do know that seeing these other characters has also gotten my hopes up for some of the other men to get their HEA’s.
