Moving from a Texas ranch to an Australian Outback station was a life changing decision for Travis Craig. Though it wasn’t really a decision at all. Something in his bones told him to go, though he had no clue as to why.Until he met Sutton Station’s owner, Charlie.Loving Charlie shouldn’t have been easy. The man was stubborn, and riddled with crippling self-doubt. No, it shouldn’t have been easy … been easy at all. Yet somehow, falling in love with Charlie was the easiest thing in the world.
Loving him was easy. Living with him, teaching him how to love in return and, more importantly, how to love himself, was not.
But Travis knew all along it’d be worth it. He knew the man with the red dirt heart was destined to be his. Just like he knew the red dirt that surrounded him was where he was supposed to be.
In the final instalment of the Red Dirt Series, we see Charlie through Travis’ eyes. We see how much he’s grown and how much he loves. We go back to Texas with them, and we see Charlie get everything he truly thought he never deserved.
Red Dirt Heart 4 is Travis’ story.
And this is the story of not just one red dirt heart, but two.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with myself now that Oh Charlie and Travis’s story is over. I love these boys so freaking much, I don’t want to say good-bye!
The Red Dirt Heart books are a perfect example of how you write a series about the same couple, without it being redundant or bringing in unnecessary drama to drive the story along.
I loved that the 4 books really only covered a few years, and then we got the peeks into the future in the epilogues. I wasn’t sure that I really wanted to see Charlie and Travis as mature men, but seriously, who was I kidding?!? I wouldn’t have minded if we got to see them old, gray, and wrinkled, sitting on the porch watching the sunset.
To say I loved seeing Charlie through Travis’s eyes is an understatement. To see how much Travis loved him and cared about him brought so many tears to my eyes. Although that’s not saying much when it comes to these books- I think I went through a whole box of tissues. It’s not like these are sad books, they just pulled at every single heartstring I have! I love both Charlie and Travis, but there’s just something about Charlie. I’m so happy Travis walked into that house and showed him how deserving of love he was.
This series was so amazing. I adored everything about it. Charlie and Travis are goals for days. This will be a definite reread/comfort read for me. I loved them. The story was so fun, but it was filled to the brim with feels. It was so wonderful to see Charlie with Laura and Sam and I loved that they he was able to connect with them so well. I adore Nugget and all his antics, he is such a treat, and I love how Charlie and Travis’ dynamic is with him and how it changes theirs with each other! It is just so funny. I sobbed when Shelby died it was heartbreaking. I love how much Charlie grew and how he was just so different around the farm. Travis was just as sweet and caring as always. I adored this made family and loved the epilogue!! I would definitely still read any shorts about anything they get up to though. They will definitely be a favorite of mine forever. Joel Leslie nailed the narration as well.
This was a pretty great ending to a story about a cattle farm and its owner in outback Australia. It was a nice change to read in Trev’s POV after seeing through Charlie’s eyes for three books. Charlie learned to love and trust and now we see what his other half have to say about that.
We could see the man we fell in love with from a different angle and it was the sweetest thing ever. I cried a little and laughed a lot.
My heart tells me to give this book 5 stars but I try to be more reasonable with my reviews. While this was a great series and I recommend it with my whole heart, it wasn’t perfect. There were a lot of grammar and wording errors which were quite annoying. And I don’t think I will pick this series up again.
I just tuck it away in my heart as a lovely, heartwarming story!
One of my favorite series. I’ve read it over and over.
