You know what I like - lovers who trust each other,  who value each other and who know their own worth.  And that's what Mary Calmes delivers.  This book is a sequel toTiming(I was going to say with a marginally better cover,  because I hated the cover to Timing,  but this one is pretty nothing as well... )We are still in the heart of Texas where for some,  being gay is just completely unacceptable.  But Rand and Stef are sorting out their lives,  2 years after starting their relationship.  I liked how Stef gradually came to see what he brings to the ranch,  that he just doesn't make Rand happier but improves the lives of everyone around him.  I like how Rand consistently adores and values Stef,  and while I thought the whole subplot around Stef being forced to go to the Rodeo was totally contrived,  I still enjoyed it.Mary Calmes is not the world's greatest writer,  but she creates such sweetly romantic and intense love stories,  that you are happy to be in them.5379 locations,  I rate this a keeper and a reread.
