Growing up on a ranch in the middle of nowhere Wyoming did not provide Simon Redfeather with a whole lot of opportunities to explore his sexuality. From a young age he’d known he was interested in men but wondered if he’d ever find someone to settle down with. Though he wanted to stretch his wings, he knew the ranch was his life and he’d inevitably follow his heart back home. Would he be able to find love with someone that could give as good as they get and love the land as much as he did?
Sean Welsh considered himself lucky that he’d grown up with two dads because coming out had been a breeze. Never wanting to trade in on the privilege of their last name, Sean and his identical twin wanted to forge their own path and open their own architectural firm in Jackson, Wyoming. He never expected Simon Redfeather, one of his new clients, to be a gorgeous, sexy, honest to god cowboy. With Simon pushing all his hot buttons, he finds himself wishing he wasn’t the shy twin and yearns to be daring, like his older brother.
The attraction is instant but are Simon and Sean willing to risk everything in order to find their other half?

Each book in the series will focus on a different couple and can be read as a standalone book but will be better enjoyed as a series as the couples all make appearances in each book. Each book contains sexually explicit material between two men and are intended for adults over 18.
REVIEW:
I’ve really been wanting to read this series for a while now. I’ve heard a lot about this series and this author and wanted to see what the hype was about. I have to say, I liked it. Im anxious to read the next ones, just to see what happens. I did have a few….qualms, I guess is a decent word. There were a few grammatical errors. Nothing really major and I only saw a few. My biggest thing was I think it was a bit too long. I loved how there were things happening everywhere. Not just with the 2 main MCs. It kinda sets everything up for the next books in the series. My ‘issue’ was the story of the main characters themselves. It felt like it was overboard a bit. And I don’t know if that’s the right word. It just felt like too much being added, like stuffed almost to make the book longer. I don’t want that to sound harsh, though, because the book is actually pretty good.
Sean and Simon were so sweet. Both severely attracted to each other. But Sean is so shy. Simon wants to be with him, but realizes he needs to take things a bit slow. they form a relationship that seems quick but to them is forever. But there’s a lot happening in the loves of those around them and it puts a strain on everyone. They have to navigate through some very rough terrain to hopefully come out better on the other side.
These two were so cute. Just sweet. They both want forever. They aren’t the one night types. Although, Simon has had some of those. But to make something last it takes work and it was something they both wanted. It was almost like a fairytale. It was everything around them that made it harder. Both of them were close to their families, so any turmoil going on in their lives affected them all. Especially when someone was hurt. It was nice to see families that actually supported each other.
I like that one of the families and one of the main characters was of Native American Descent. It’s not seen a whole lot and I love it.
Overall, it’s a good story. I am seriously wanting to see how the next books go with how they went in this book.
