I am never disappointed with Walker's work.  This book was emotional, funny, and drew me in from the beginning.  A complicated, troubled main character fighting the ghost of a father who could not accept his only son was gay.  So Charlie is determined to deny himself the life and happiness he deserves in an attempt to appease his deceased father.  And he manages pretty well until Travis walks in and changes everything.  Travis was a fearless, straightforward, loveable character.  He was comfortable in his own skin and at ease with himself.  Their relationship just seemed to take hold quickly and although they intended it to be a short-term thing it was so obvious their hearts were never going to let that happen.  The supporting characters added another great element to the story.  George and Ma, Charlie's "adoptive" parents on the ranch he owned were so supportive and loving with a no-nonsense attitude.  Plus the setting in the Australian Outback was crafted in such vivid imagery that it could almost be viewed as a character too.  The conclusion was everything I hoped it would be.  Thanks again for another incredibly written, beautifully told tale of two strong, loving men losing their hearts to one another.
