BLURB:
Roy Unger is greenhorn running from his past. He’s gotten a ranch job and works hard to prove himself every day. Since leaving home in a hurry, he’s come to realize that this job is the only thing standing between him and starvation. He isn’t going to mess it up, no matter how much Brad might drive him to distraction.
Brad has been around the block more than once. He’s a cowboy through and through, complete with a failed rodeo career and a love life that could only be described as hopeless. He’s worked hard and kept his head down. Roy makes him want more, but Brad has come to realize that what he wants isn’t what he gets.
Brad knows what desperation feels like and how important it is to fit in. When he decides to help Roy get over his fear of horses, the two men spend more time together, leading Roy to share confidences about his troubled past. Listening builds trust, which shifts into so much more. But before they can have any sort of future, they need to deal with Roy’s past, which could ruin everything
REVIEW:
This is the logical continuation of the Nowhere to Ride series. Here we meet Brad a wanna be rodeo cowboy that had to retire due to an injury before his career really got started. Now he’s hunkered down and working on Ty and Brodie’s horse farm from book 1. Brad’s content… but lonely, and is looking for a new dream.
When scared and waif-like Roy shows up and is hired onto the farm, it’s clear to Brad that Roy’s never done farm work before. But he’s gotta admire the kid’s spunk. And as Brad helps Roy learn what it means to be a cowboy, the two grow closer and it’s pretty clear that Brad may soon be seeing some of the other kind of spunk that Roy can offer.
Again, this is a tale of a kinder, gentler Texas that what we see on the nightly news. There are good people there that we hear all too little about. At around 100 pages pages each, these tales are more novellas than full blown novels but they are romantic reads that deliver happy endings and give the reader a chance to spend some time getting to know some folks that it’s easy to care about. The characters tend to re-appear in cameo roles in later tales making these a bit more homey and adding to the overall enjoyment. This one generates plenty of “feels”, but doesn’t really break any new ground for me.
