About this listen

Stetson Major and Curtis Traynor are about as opposite as two cowboys can get. Stetson is a rancher, tied to the land he loves in Taos, New Mexico, while Curtis is a rodeo cowboy whose wanderlust never could be tamed. But now Stetson's momma is dying of Alzheimer's, and she can't remember that Curtis hasn't been Stetson's boyfriend for a long time. Curtis's absence makes her cry, so Stetson swallows his pride and calls his ex-lover.

To Curtis, Stetson is the one who got away, the love of his life. And Momma is his friend, so he's happy to help out. Yet returning to the ranch stirs up all sorts of feelings that, while buried, never really went away. Still, the rodeo nationals are coming up, and Curtis can't stay - even if he's starting to want to, especially to support Stetson when he needs it most.

Stetson and Curtis want to find a place where they both fit, to be there to catch each other when they fall. But family, money problems, and the call of the rodeo circuit might end their second-chance romance before it even gets started.

Watching Stetson go from a man struggling with finances and grieving his mother, to man who knows his worth and Curtis settling into himself and their future for the Ranch was an absolute delight

I like to think I am open minded. I have worked with several gay people and a nicer group of people i could never have wished for. Quite a few of my children's friends are gay and no it wasn't easy for them in the outside world. This story told of the hardships by both Stetson and Curtis but their feelings for each other never faulted. They worked through their problems and got their happy ever after

Loved it. Beautiful story full of emotion, both sadness and joy. The narrator made me feel all the anguish of Stetson when his mother passed and the love he and Curtis had.
