My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Cal made a coding mistake that got him arrested and far away from Preston, his horrible boyfriend. After over a year in jail, he’s touch-starved and afraid. Not of doing his parole in the wilds of Wyoming, but that Preston will come and force him back to Denver. In the valley, when Cal is assigned to Zeke Malloy’s team, his luck starts to change because Zeke is patient and kind, both with the horses and with Cal. Cal doesn’t trust anyone now, except Cal’s crush on Zeke starts with a single word of kindness. A warm touch. And the smile in those green eyes. After a horse fell on him, Zeke’s bronc riding days are over. His girlfriend wants a buckle-wearing man, not a broken one, and leaves him. Zeke finds he doesn’t care that he’s alone now. But he can’t stop thinking about the time Galen Parnell asked him out, as if there was something Galen saw in Zeke. Was he gay? When Zeke starts to work with Cal Tamalin, the only parolee on his team, he begins to think maybe Galen had been on to something. Getting close to Cal can only spell disaster, and surely Zeke’s had enough of those, right? He shouldn’t take the risk, but doesn’t think his heart can resist the biggest blue eyes Zeke has ever seen.
I enjoyed this story with the abused Cal who did what he needed to escape Preston and Zeke who recognised the signs of abuse and fear in Cal and so treated him with care and kindness. I loved that working together led to care, affection and then love. I loved the story end. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
