Woods Ranch #1
His Fresh Start Cowboy
A.M. Arthur
Still having trouble with the concept of female authors writing about gay cowboys. Also getting my mind around the idea of calling the relationship between a gay couple marriage. Some of these romances make it seem the whole world is gay but like celibate communities if no one had hetero relationships the society would die out.
After 10 years Hugo comes back to the Ranch where he spent so much time as a child as a cowboy hire. Rem was his best friend, Brand his new boss the man he crushed on before he left 10 years ago. Cole the oldest Wood was the guy Hugo worked for in California on a Dude Ranch and there are two married Wood sisters in the mix.
The author seems to get mixed up about who her characters are. Rem is Brand's brother, he would not have been a stranger to ranch. The men in this tale seem to have a lot of hangups. Brand being in the closet, essentially to himself as well complicates matters for Hugo who has issues of his own.
The pair at the centre of this M+M journey suffer many false starts and are the source of many of their own troubles. For the reader their lack of progress becomes frustrating.
Since I just finished another Cowboy Romance which was M+F that involved five brothers and very similar themes they get mixed up in my memory.
