BLURB: The last person cattle drover Tad Albright expects to see in a Cheyenne, Wyoming saloon is Clay Hecker, the lover he shot, and believed killed, twelve years before. While welcoming the knowledge that he’s no murderer, Tad doesn’t welcome the man whose betrayal prompted the shooting. As past mixes with present, passion ignites, but sex isn’t the cure-all it once was. Tempers flare, a fistfight ensues as they attempt to resolve a past that seems beyond resolution. Love does have a chance, but it’s no longer the stuff of youth. Can these men accept a healed-over wounded kind?
REVIEW:
If you’re looking for a romantic read, this isn’t for you. This is blunt, gritty, and downright dirty.
Tad is thrown by seeing Clay, the man he shot and thought dead these last twelve years. What throws him even more is that he still has the same feelings he had for Clay. Will they get their second chance?
There is a plot, but it’s almost submerged in a sex-fest which is generally rough, dirty and fast. There are certainly plenty of horny cowboys about. For a short read it’s very heavy on the sex, some of which just isn’t to my taste. A couple of dub-con moments and mention of a “shitty dick” threw me out of the story.
When Tad and Clay finally have their ‘reunion’ after Tad doing his best to hide from Clay, it’s at the muzzle of a gun. This is followed by a fight Tad loses, followed by dubious consent sex, which includes ignoring Tad’s broken rib.
I couldn’t take to either character. I didn’t particularly like either character.
However, if you like down and dirty cowboy erotica, then you may like this.
