Lady Scarlet’s Review:
Like most anthology stories, the only thing wrong with Seeing You is a lack of length to really explore what is otherwise a lovely second chances story. Dakota Flint presents Dylan and Wade, two men caught in the loop of grief, skipping through the same trauma without hope of getting away. It’s a short story so I won’t go too deeply into the plot but the book’s summary neatly displays the heart of the story: Dylan’s brother, Simon died and left a void so deep that More...

I found this little gem at Janna from Erotic Romance Reader blog. I am not sure why I have never read Dakota Flint work before but this is a matter that I going to rectify real quick.
I was attracted to this book because of the blurb – nothing makes me flash out the credit card like tortured cowboys or broken man having to find themselves. I really liked this book – it is a one sit down read, so don't expect to put this one down and then come back.

This novella was originally part of the print Studs and Spurs anthology at MLRP, but has now been released as a e-book at Samhain. It tells the story of Dylan who, after the death of his brother Simon in a car accident, has escaped from his brother's ranch in small town Montana to the big city where he is working on trying to forget those unhappy memories of his brother's death. Whilst we are never told who was driving the car at the time, Dylan still feels a tonne of guilt because Simon left

Flint's story is more than just hot cowboys having steamy sex, though that aspect is definitely easy to appreciate.
It's a statement about learning to live and love again, beyond loss. About rediscovering life, seeing the colors again. I think one of the reasons I enjoyed that dynamic so much, is that loss doesn't just come through death. There are many kinds of loss, and this story spoke to that deep, still-healing place inside me.

Seeing You is featuring some hot and hurting cowboys. Dylan and Wade are dealing with some serious grief and guilt. Dylan's brother Simon was Wade's lover and has been killed in an accident over a year ago. Dylan couldn't handle his brother's death and his non-platonic feelings for Wade and left. But now he's back at Wade's ranch after a cry for help from his sister because Wade has been neglecting himself and the ranch.

Cowboys and Gay Romance are quite a popular pair, and it has also almost always an angst feeling. This story is about a ranch in Montana and two cowboys who are grieving for the loss of the same man. Simon was Dylan's brother and Wade's lover; it was Dylan who introduced Simon to Wade and doing that it made of Wade an happy man and of himself a desperate one. Dylan was in love with Wade but Wade has never seen in him as nothing more than a friend. And when Wade found his happiness with Simon, Dy

“Seeing You” is written in the first person from Dylan’s perspective and the story begins a year following the sudden and devastating loss of his brother Simon in a motor vehicle accident. At it’s core, “Seeing You” has a friends to lovers theme, however the relationship between main characters Dylan and Wade is a complex one because of two deep emotions, grief and guilt.

Recommended by Lavinia for the QGB3 challenge. Sweet novella about Wade who is not getting over the loss of his partner of seven years (Simon) and Simon's brother Dylan who left the ranch to escape memories of his brother's death and also his unrequited love for Wade.
Wade's and Dylan's grief and trauma from losing Simon is well written. Flashbacks of scenes between Wade and Simon, and Dylan and Simon give us a lovely impression of how much they both loved him. The rebuilding of the ran More...

I wholeheartedly agree with Mandy about this book. While the description of Dylan's feeling is vividly real and I enjoy the rebuilding of the ranch, I'm not sold on the HEA solution that the story offers. I don't feel like Wade truly has seen Dylan and loves him, that he has let go of Simon ... and that just doesn't sit right with me since I have all my support and sympathy towards Dylan.

Great read...funny and poignant at the same time. I don't usually care for novellas because often the length can't fully evolve the story and the characters. Not so with this story. While I did wish it was longer it was because the characters were well written and I wanted to spend more time with them. It would be great to see a follow up but just becasue I enyoyed the story so much.

Hm, hard topic to write about, when the plot circles around an accident and death of a loved one. But for a summery the story was good. Dylan, Simon's brother, was always in love with Wade, who was Simon’s partner. The guilt is a powerful tool when you want to run from the past and from your emotions, but sometimes that isn't the solution.

兄を目の前で失ったDylanは現実を受け入れられず、牧場での仕事も何もか放り出して旅に出る。数カ月後、「もう逃げるのは止めて家に帰りなさい」と姉が電話してきた。Dylanは逃げたわけではないと言い訳するが、姉は取り合わない。そして、兄と彼の恋人Wadeが経営していた牧場が荒れてしまっていると告げる。驚いたDylanは牧場に戻ることにするが…。
とてもよくまとまっている短編。どこかで読んだことあるなあ、といった感じの展開だけど、Dylanの心理描写が丁寧で、最後まで読ませる。Dylanがすごく健気。Wadeの気持ちの変化はちょっと分り難くて、そこが残念。でもいいお話だー。 More...

This is a short story, that personlly I would love to see with a sequel, that involves the heart ache felt by two men when they lose Simon; Wade, Simon's lover and Dylan Simon's brother. This novella is heartwrenching but leaves with you a definite 'feel good' feeling (but not sappy) at the end.

It sounded really good from the blurb.
It started out all right but by not knowing anything that was going on within Wade if felt like a lot was missing. Time passes but not much really happens between them,(to make a couple) then a very abrupt ending.

All emotions felt so real: their grieve over Simon, Wade's emptiness, Dylan's guilt - it was so raw and realistic. Their HEA was vell deserved and truly beautiful :)

Cute story. I liked the slow progression for the two main characters and seeing them lean on each other to process their own grief. It was a quick read but well developed.

It was a good book. It didn't stand out that much to me, but I'll probably read it again sometime.

I wish I could give 3.5 stars because I really liked this one, but it wasn't great. I'm going through a cowboy thing at the moment and I think that's part of why I liked it as much as I did. Some of the plot feels a little rushed, but the dialog is good, the story is good, the love scenes are hot and both the characters are sweet and lovable. There's a little angst, but it didn't tug at my heart as much as I would've liked.

Some stories hurt good. Some stories hurt. And some stories just hurt too much to bear. This story was all of them. It made me cry. It hurt. But in the end it made me happy.
