After years of saving every penny, Nathan has finally managed to buy Tsarina, the horse of his dreams, and he’s looking forward to a summer of exploring the mountains above Tucker Springs with her. But on their very first ride, a motorcyclist makes a wrong turn, scaring the mare into bolting and leaving Nathan with a broken leg, a broken hand, and a ruined summer.
Ryan is a loner and a nomad, content with working odd jobs before moving on to the next town. Feeling guilty for causing the accident that leaves Nathan in two casts, Ryan offers to keep Tsarina exercised until Nathan heals.
A tentative friendship forms, and a strong attraction grows. Nathan doesn’t want feelings getting involved, though. Not after a couple of nasty breakups and especially knowing that Ryan doesn’t stay in one place—or relationship—for long. It’s only a matter of time before Ryan drifts out of Tucker Springs and out of Nathan’s world.
But since when do feelings ever listen to reason? Now it’s Nathan who’s about to shy away, unless Ryan can ease his fears…assuming Ryan doesn’t bolt first.
This previously published book is #6 in the Tucker Springs series, and can be read as a standalone.
REVIEW:
Accidents happen….
Life is never dull, unless we make it so because of our own actions. Sometimes we get thrown into situations we have no control over. Sometimes things/events happen for a reason. Have you ever been in a situation like this? That at the end of the day, you just wonder what happened or how did that happen? But then you are still there, standing!
Two fairly young men meet through a literal accident and are as different as they come. One is an Army brat and a drifter, never staying long in a place. He gets restless after a while. The other has never really left his hometown, still living in the place where he was born. He has traveled and hasn’t lived anywhere else. How could it work for them?
Nathan has been burned twice in his relationships. Around him, he can see his friends having a hard time with their own relationships, couple that with his own experience and it makes him wonder if it is all worth it. Most of the time, ever since his last break up, Nathan thinks it is better off not being in a relationship at all.
Never in a place too long, it seems that Ryan is looking for something. Has he been so used to moving around that he’ll never get use to laying down roots in one place? Or is he looking for something or someone to make him stay? What started as a favor because of what he has done, his friendship with Nathan developed into something else neither expected.
This tale of love shows us that even though we have been hurt before, we heal and we continue to look for that special person who can make us whole, even unconsciously sometimes. This is a low to no angst, feel-good tale of two people who found what they were looking for
