Summary
Getting my Ph.D. is a bit of a challenge. Not falling for my hot, straight, grumpy mentor is next to impossible.
Six months undercover on a ranch known for rehabilitation is my ticket to finishing my degree. Me? I’m just a guy who’s gay, terrified of horses, and somehow convinced this is a good idea. The owners are in on my secret, but Max, my rugged, horse-whispering mentor, isn’t. Did I mention he’s infuriatingly attractive?
Thrown together, it's not just the horses we're taming. As Max and I dance around each other, an unexpected moment of closeness threatens to unravel everything. Apparently, we're both hiding secrets. Falling for him isn't part of my research, yet here I am, questioning everything for a man who might just be worth the risk.
I’m learning that the biggest discoveries often come from the heart, but will it be Max or the horses that push me to my limits?
Turns out it’s both…and a donkey named Milo.

great audio
was surprised by how much I really enjoyed this. The whole cowboy thing can be a bit hit and miss for me, but this was really well done. Fantastic characters (side as well as main) and a great storyline made this for me. Riley absolutely steals the show in this one, he's an adorable little sunshine twink but he's so much more than that. I really enjoyed him and enjoyed Max learning not to underestimate him. I also loved the premise of a student going undercover to study ex-prisoners, it adds an extra dimension to the story, and happily this small deception didn't add a lot of angst.
I listened to this title in audio by Michael Dean, and he did a good job. I'm already invested in the other guys on the ranch and really hope I get to listen to the other books in the series.

Passionately realistic storytelling
Why did I choose to review this title some may wonder, well those who know that I have already reviewed it at least! Well, for one thing I fell in love with the story as I read it a couple of months ago. Romeo Alexander writes with compelling authenticity, so much so that I could feel myself on Isaiah Ranch, in that summer heat, with the horses, with the fence repair tasks, I feared the rattle snake that wanted to bite after being jostled in a truck full of wood. I loved the book and I am thrilled to now be reading book 2 but my review for that is to come soon...
I chose to review this book again because this time I am reviewing the audiobook. I am not ashamed to say that I am a book addict. Printed (or 'e') and audio. I read on my commute, my lunch break, in the evenings before bed and then, because I am an insomniac I listen to books to lull me to sleep. I even listen when I am running, often losing track of time! So, I wanted to know if Michael Dean, the narrator, could bring this story convincingly to life, to the life I had given it in my head. Would his versions of Riley and Max meet my expectations - the ones I had built from my reading.
The answer is yes, he can. Michael Dean manages to narrate the entire story himself and yet despite having to voice each of the characters he is able to differentiate them. Even Mona whose dry wit and sarcasm is perfect! Max's grumpiness and gradual slide into passion is perfect and Riley, the puppy, he tackles perfectly. These are not flat characters on the page and Michael Dean brings them to such believable life that when listening I was able to feel that I was there, talking to them. So, if you happen to see a woman running past you apparently talking to herself, think again, it is likely me, engrossed in this passionate storytelling.
