Kyle MacDonald keeps his head down and tries to avoid making his father angry while traveling on the professional bull riding circuit. He’s learned the hard way how his father deals with being upset.

Duncan’s the reigning world Champion, and has everything he could want. Yet the shy young man whose father is Duncan’s biggest rival catches his eye. Kyle makes Duncan feel protective and passionate. Even though he’s fourteen years older than Kyle, Duncan’s ready to risk rejection to see if Kyle’s lips taste as sweet as they look.
Could a relationship grow between them amidst the macho atmosphere of bull riding and the danger presented by Kyle’s father? Or will Kyle and Duncan prove that age doesn’t count in matters of the heart?
REVIEW:
Kyle MacDonald is just trying to stay out of his abusive fathers way until this round of the Professional Bull Riding Circuit is over! It’s not easy being your father and brother’s slave/whipping boy, but that is exactly what Kyle has become and it’s getting worse the older he gets. His father hurt his back last year and as a consequence now drinks excessively to dull the pain, he takes his bad mood and foul temper out on Kyle. Kyle’s only outlet is taking care of the circuits’ bulls, he’s the only person the meanest bull there will let near him. One day he meets the owner of the bulls, Duncan Hornsby, the reigning World Champion Bull Rider.
Unbeknownst to both of them, they each have been watching the other since the start of this round! After they meet, Kyles shy, gentle ways bring out the protectiveness in Duncan and he sets about giving Kyle the support he needs to leave his father. On his way home Kyles brother beats him so bad he has to be hospitalised. Duncan takes Kyle home to his mother who decides enough is enough! She starts divorce proceedings as soon as Kyle has his 21st birthday as per her fathers’ will. It’s during this time that they both realise they’ve fallen in love with each other. Whilst Kyle is feeling like the luckiest man on earth, Duncan is feeling like a cradle robber because he’s fallen in love with a man 14 years younger than him!
Duncan’s World is a short story filled with big emotions and an even bigger love. I would definitely recommend this book to all m/m romance readers.
