Ruben is now a fully fledged Blaecleah, adopted by Ma and Da, and he loves living out at the ranch. But it's not enough to keep him home when he loses his heart to Elijah James, the family's attorney, and a man too afraid to come out of the closet to claim him.

After traveling the world for three years, Ruben is finally ready to return home, but he's not coming back alone. Widowed and the father of a small baby, Ruben hopes that he has grown up enough for Elijah James to take interest in him because this time, he's playing for keeps.

Elijah James wanted Ruben since the moment he met the man but the anguish of losing someone he loves still has a hold of Elijah and he's not ready to put his heart, or the fact that he loves men, on the line for everyone to see. He learned the hard way to keep his desires to himself.

When the past comes back to tear the Blaecleah family apart, will his love for Ruben be enough to pull Elijah from the closet or will he be too scared of losing again to cowboy up?

5 FALLEN ANGELS: "Gay bashing is a terrible thing that hurts not only the victims, but also everyone in the community. Elijah not only lost his lover when he was killed, but also his willingness to trust and love again. It was terrible how Ruben left home when he didn't think Elijah loved him, when in reality that couldn't be farther from the truth. It was wonderful when Elijah finally revealed his past allowing Ruben to see how he really felt. I find it difficult to understand how anyone could be a minister to the public and treat his own family the way Ruben and Matty's father treated them. I was inspired by the Blaecleah's as they stood together as a family against any outside forces that threatened them. Mrs. Blaecleah's ability to control her huge sons with a look was hysterical. Both Mr. and Mrs. Blaecheah's loving natures and strength of character shows through in their sons, both biological and adopted, who are a credit to them." -- Teresa, Fallen Angels Reviews

5 FLOWERS: “This was a sweet story of love and family. I love Ruben in book 3 of this series he was the wide eyed brother of Mathews who would take on the world. Here he is a bit older and life had happened so he is bringing his daughter home. The relationship between Ruben and Eli was really sweet and intense, made so by Ruben's need to be out and proud and Eli's need to be quiet and in the closet. We also get to see more of Ruben's mother in this one and boy did I pump the air like a lunatic when she got it off Ma. Near the end of this book we get a taster of the next book and I for one will be camped out at the kindle store to get my hands on that one because I know it will be just as good as all the ones before it!!.” -- Kerry, Musings of a Bookworm

4 CUPS: "Cowboy Up is a sweet love story. The beautiful emotions conveyed by Stormy Glenn provide the reader a glimpse of a wonderful life. Ruben has lost so much and after all the years of abuse he is still such a sweet man. I loved his character and capacity for emotions. The Blaeclaeah Family is one for the history books and makes the reader want to be a part. Stormy Glenn offers another outstanding love story for the enjoyment of the readers." -- Delane, Coffee Time Romance & More

4 STARS: "Oh family drama at its greatest! I absolutely love the Blaecleah family. Five sons all gay all meeting and falling in love. Awww…what could be better?? This is book 5 and is about the Blaecleah’s adopted son Ruben, Ruben is introduced in book 3. Book 5 didn’t disappoint. My second favorite book in the series I would say (favorite being book 2 Cowboy Keeper). There’re some surprises I didn’t see coming and the story is full of emotion which is great. Ruben and Elijah have a complicated history that adds intensity to the story and made me want to see them together so badly. The greatest quote “…Ma Blaecleah, as small as she was, had the ability to bring mortal men to their knees with a single arch of her eyebrow.” Ma Blaecleah is the greatest book mom ever, she just steals the show; this family is so close, loving and understanding and Ma and Da Blaecleah are the reasons for that, but of course Ma runs everything. There’re a few hints about the next book in the series that definitely have me intrigued for more." -- Charnel, Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

4 KISSES: “Cowboy Up by Stormy Glenn is fifth book in the Blaecleah Brothers series, while this story can be read as a standalone book, you will better appreciate the history and nuances in the book if you’ve at least read Cowboy Way. I enjoyed seeing Ruben all grown up, he took being away from home as an opportunity to travel the world and help the less fortunate. Coming home was good for his soul as well as being good for his baby daughter. His determination to convince his man that he was ready was also wonderful to see. Eli's struggle to accept that he could only control so much, was both hard to feel and wonderful to watch. His demons are understandable, but you just wanted him to successfully move forward with Ruben and baby Alani. He knew that his fears were hurting Ruben and he pushed past his fears to try to mitigate, if not complete stop the pain. I think this is a well written and enjoyable addition to the series. I’m looking forward to reading the next installment.” – Tangie, TwoLips Reviews
