Book Blurb

When a rodeo clown, a small town veterinarian and his assistant form a complicated trio, they find it’s their choices that determine who finds love.

When rodeo clown Brandt Collins is forced into retirement by an injury in the arena, he heads to long-time friend Kaden Slater’s hometown to settle down. As far as he’s concerned, if that old flame ignites into a wildfire, then all the better.

 

Kaden is glad to see Brandt, but a little complication in the form of Kaden’s new assistant, Mike, throws a wrench in all their plans. Sexy, smart and young, Mike wants Kaden more than he wants his next breath.

 

Soon, misunderstandings and the past conspire to tear the trio apart before they’ve even begun. And now it’s their choices that will determine who finds love—and who doesn’t.

Book Review

We have all regretted some of the choices we've made, and this story is about the consequences of putting your career above personal happiness. Brandt, an injured rodeo clown, and Kaden, a vet, are old pros at this; their history is one of love and longing, and of Brandt running back to the rodeo every year. Mike is Kaden's assistant and the new element in the equation. Like with any truly equal threesome, there has to be some need for a third partner, and in this story, Mike is the one who provides something Brandt and Kaden’s relationship has been missing.

I liked the way this story is set up. I got to meet Kaden and Brandt first and got to see some of their history as well as the more or less hidden flaws, secrets, and the obstacles that mean they never managed to make their relationship work. Then, gradually, Mike is added into the mix, and it becomes clear what his unique contribution is going to be. If they can make it work. And that is a big if. That realism, the showing of all the issues inherent in a three-sided relationship, is what makes this short story quite interesting.

If you like stories about ménages that are more than some hot fun in bed, if you enjoy reading about real relationship issues like jealousy, fear of abandonment, and bad choices from the past messing up the present, and if you’re looking for a read about three men finding their way in a loving relationship while struggling with reality, then you might like this short story.
