One person's story about how they saw love and how they wanted to love. Until temptation came along.

This is a short story so I am finding it hard to review w/o given something away. I can say that J M Snyder works magic with the emotional depth of the character. It is told in first person from the POV of Marcus who went West looking for his own cowboy.

The sex is different than what I have read in other m/m romances. It was healing in a way. I have never read love scenes More...

When Marcus headed out west two years ago, he knew what he was looking for. A cowboy like Kent seemed to be exactly what he was after, as long as he could overlook Kent’s drinking, the unsatisfying love life and his quiet demeanor. Content if not completely satisfied with his own life, he took in the boy (Lucas) he had found in the barn and learned all the things that his relationship with Kent had been missing.

Hasn’t everyone had times of feeling underappreciated or overlooked More...

I wasn't sure if I liked this as I was reading it, most of the way through until near the end. The story develops slowly, changing and evolving as it does. It is first person and most of it is Marcus' internal dialogue and memories. It really addresses the age old questions of 'what is love?' and 'how do I recognise love when I find it?'. Marcus is very realistic as he confronts these questions and comes to some resolution with an almost bitter-sweet happy ending. That might be HEA oe HFN at the More...

Just didn't care for this depressing story. Plus, I can't stand 1st person POV in M/M romance fiction, but that's just me.
