The prodigal has returned and despite a decade of separation the
identical twins Brody and Connor still resemble two peas in a pod and
Brody unabashedly helps himself to his twin's wardrobe. Since book 6
Connor and Tricia got married and a baby Creed's arrival is imminent.
At issue in book 7 is the path to matrimonial bliss Brody and Carolyn
will take. If a certain ennui creeps in here you're reading me
correctly.
If you're familiar with the joke about what happens when you sing a
country music song backwards these novels seem to follow a similar
pattern:
You get your dog back=generally a stray
You get your truck back=generally brand new
You get your house back=often newly built
You get your wife back=generally newly wed though past flirtation is
often the case.
The sex is always good, marriage and a baby follow, these boys are
virile, and succeeding babies, to quote Davis in this outing, take
nine months.
And a rodeo past is often part of these boys' history. They never
seem to lack for money though I can't imagine most make a killing on
the rodeo circuit.
Perhaps I should admit that the law of diminishing utility is coming
into play here.
As the series winds up I predict the next Creed will arrive in under
nine months.
