Publisher's Summary

Graham and his roping partner, Jackson, have been friends since they were boys. They've ruled the rodeo scene for 10 years running, but lately, Graham’s heart isn’t in the game. He’s tired of the bruises, the cowboy mentality, and the animal rights activists who picket every event. He's also tired of being in love with Jackson, and nothing’s been the same between them since their disastrous drunken encounter the year before.

Then Graham has a run-in with one of the rodeo protesters, and everything changes. Kaz is young, idealistic, and sexy as hell. But he's also a know-it-all, animal-loving vegan, bent on saving the world one cow at a time. They have next to nothing in common, but Graham can't stop thinking about what might happen if they can stop butting heads long enough to give it a try. Unfortunately, no matter how attracted Graham is to other men, he always panics and runs when the clothes start to come off. But Kaz has an idea for getting Graham past his nerves and into bed.

All they need is a bit of rope.

Messy and full of unmet potential!

Graham stables horses and has been a successful rodeo rider over the last ten years with his friend, Jackson. They’ve hooked up once during that time and it didn’t end well for either of them due to Graham’s nerves and Jackson’s homophobic self-loathing. Things finally change when Graham clashes with Kaz, a young animal rights activist, protesting at one of the rodeos and sparks fly. Over two steamy nights, Kaz takes charge, tying and calming the older man down like one of his nervous horses. But the two men are idealistically opposed so it’s a bumpy ride.

This love-triangle novella was just too short (109 pp) to do the premise, the storyline, or the BDSM justice so it felt rushed, chaotic, and unconvincing. There were no backstories for any of the characters so it was hard to connect with them and the instalove between Graham and Kaz felt unrealistic given they’d never met before, had utterly nothing in common, and had no reason to trust each other. It would have made much more sense for Kaz to act as a catalyst for Graham and Jackson to sort out their feelings for each other. Graham was an incredibly atypical cowboy character - he endured rodeos and handled horses but was easily cowered and emotional. I like narrator Michael Ferraiuolo but he was totally unsuitable for this audiobook. He just used his normal voice with no mid-western or southern accent, making Graham’s character even more unconvincing.
