Something Undeniable: An MM Age Gap Romance (Split Rock Ranch Book 1) Kindle Edition
MICAH AVERY
Ryan Astor was every gay boy’s fantasy come to life, and Micah made plans to marry the ruggedly sexy ranch manager the moment they met. Never mind the small problem that Ryan could never be interested in someone he saw as a kid.
But Micah’s all grown up and on a mission. It’s his last summer before leaving for college, and he’s going to pull out all the stops to get Ryan to notice him. He just knows that when Ryan finally gives in, the sparks are gonna fly.
RYAN ASTOR
Split Rock, North Carolina, was supposed to be a pit stop on the road to a different life. Instead, Ryan was welcomed into a home and a family he didn’t know he needed. One that includes Micah Avery, who’s been the ranch mascot since before he could see over the stall doors.
But Micah isn’t so little anymore, and Ryan can't deny his growing attraction. The only problem? Micah is meant for bigger things than Split Rock Ranch. And Ryan isn’t willing to let Micah risk his future by holding him back. Someone has to be the responsible one. And Micah’s better off without him. Right…?
Something Undeniable is age gap novella with a slow-burn mutual pining and plenty of heat. It’s the first book in the Split Rock Ranch series but can be read as a stand-alone story.

About the author

Rory Maxwell discovered romance novels on her mom’s bookshelf when she was probably too young to be reading them—the reward for being a nosy kid with great reading comprehension. The magic of a dial-up internet connection led her to the wonderful world of MM fanfiction a few years later and she fell in love with the genre. In 2019 she woke up with a plot bunny, opened a word doc, and started trying to figure out how this writing stuff worked.
Rory grew up outside of Washington, DC, moved away, and then came back for reasons she doesn’t fully understand. An artist and writer, she always has too many exciting ideas and not nearly enough free time. One day, she hopes to escape to the mountains where she can work from home and write as much as she wants. In the meantime, she splits her time between her day job and writing MM romance with heart, heat, and happy endings.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024This was the second book that I read by this author. The first book, (Novella) called 'Something Unbelievable' is nowhere to be reviewed. It's actually an introduction to Split Rock. It's about Jamie and Chris.
This book is about Ryan and Micah and their journey to happiness. Ita slow burn that leads to their eventual HEA. It was witty, steamy and loving. The side characters are definitely important cause they are the main characters in future books. I love reading series like this.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2025Micah is in love with Ryan. Ryan feels Micah is too young to know his mind. Will they ever get their HEA?
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2025Micah has a crush on the ranch manager who’s older but that doesn’t deter him from pursuing Ryan. A quick fling before he leaves for college, Micah and Ryan realize there’s more there than just sex. Once back in the ranch, Micah can’t let the crush go and Ryan finds it hard to resist. Once they both finally get their acts together, they realize they e found their forever. Good book.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2025For those readers looking for a romance set on a ranch, yet isn't a stereotypical cowboy romance. This is the book for you. You have Micah, who knows from the day he sets eyes on the new ranch hand. Ryan, he is his person. the age gap is enough that the time jumps are necessary to get the characters to the right place in their lives for something to be able to happen. both characters show a maturity in understanding the situation, and when able to get there, it's a beautiful thing to see play out. A well-written and played out story to hold your attention from the getgo. Will read more from this universe in the future.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2023I see other reviews used the word “sweet” to describe this book as well. It’s just the word that springs to mind, I think. It’s very cute, and an easy read. It read a little more like a novella to me with the story pacing. I did enjoy this story, but I’m also here to say, if you liked this but aren’t sure if you liked it enough to try another one, please give the second one a chance because it is much more developed. This just builds a nice little foundation for their relationship, and it made me smile a lot.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2024I liked how the characters interacted with each other. This story was fun and easy to read and kept me wanting to see what happened next. Can't wait to continue the series and see how things evolve. I loved the little snippets we got hinting at other people getting stories too.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2023This book was just *cute*!! There was pining, there was steam there was love and a HEA. Sometimes you just need a quick one that makes you feel good and this was that. It didn't go too far into the drama, didn't make you wait too long through the angst, and didn't dig too far into the characters stories. If you just want something fast to read, this is a good choice!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024I love an age gap romance book with mutual pining which was why I picked up this book after a friend recommended it to me lol
It was lovely getting to watch these two fall in love even if it took them a while to get there lol
I can’t wait to read book two with these MC’s and someone else? 👀

5.0 out of 5 stars Such lovely story
What a lovely story!
I loved falling in love with Micah and Ryan along their way to each other, loved the setting, loved the surrounding characters, looooooved the loveliness and the gentle pining and loved loved loved the ending.
I am thrilled to know there will be more books in this series, 100/10 would go back to Split Rock Ranch.
- PattiReviewed in Australia on October 11, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Age gap.
A sweet, slow burn, age gap romance with plenty of pining between main characters and wonderful , meddling friends. I loved the story between Micah and Ryan. And I am looking forward to the next one.
- Claire LouisaReviewed in Australia on April 16, 2023
4.0 out of 5 stars A short but good read
A short read but it does a good job setting up the relationship between Micah and Ryan as well as the background of Split Rock Ranch and its cast of important side characters ready for book #2 Something Unexpected.
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5/4
I really liked this, it was a sweet and pretty low angst age gap love story with cowboys, who doesn’t love cowboys? I guess I can’t give it higher because it was so short and I wish we had seen more actual interaction between Ryan and Micah - the time jump to the end had me feeling a bit cheated.
- NatashaReviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2024
3.0 out of 5 stars It was good
I really wish this story was expanded. I felt we were given snippets of back story and the start of a slow burn build up, but that nothing came of the back story / history and then all of a sudden it was a HEA. No slow, agonising burn
But it gained back a star for the smutt
