Barry had a real bad day with his car breaking down, the tow truck driver being an ugly mess and the mechanic is away for a family funeral.  Then he goes to Rick's to eat and has to leave the soggy mess because it is inedible.  The only thing at Rick's worth eating up are Red (Jake) and Blue (Jimmy), two cowboys that are obviously together - but are they gay?  Barry follows them outside and offers his, er, services to the two tops (who have been arguing like little kids over who has to give it up).  They take Barry up on his offer, whisking him off to their ranch (Barry does wonder if they are going to murder him and was he wise to come along for the "ride").  What happens next is that Barry, Jake and Jimmy have an unparalleled night together which is abruptly ended in the morning by a shrieking smoke alarm and a kitchen full of cowboys who have no clue how to make breakfast.Barry becomes the cook for the cowboys and lover of Red and Blue - he is British and his fantasies have revolved around cowboys since he was little.  Jake and Jimmy are funny, they argue over who is bigger, who is better, who goes first, how many kisses each give Barry, who is the better rider...it is like they are in kindergarten.The book has huge amounts of humour - I like the British/American confusion and Barry trying to explain it all.  The cowboys on the ranch are gay so the threesome have no issues at home.  Jimmy's father is a homophobe and some in town that are good Christians cause some trouble.  In the main though it is plain sailing - and that is a little part of the problem.  Where is the angst?  The trio come together seamlessly (pardon my pun) and since Jake and Jimmy have been together forever (since they were kids), how is there no real drama adding a third?This is very readable with a lot of funny and a lot of loving.  I will be looking for more of Drew Hunt who is a new author for me.
