Review: Excellent m/m romance -- far above the genre norm

I read a lot of m/m romance and this is one of the best written stories I've ever read.  Sometimes you just click with an author's sense of humor and I loved every bit of this book.  The closeted (as in, he didn't even know he was in the closet) character, the ranch foreman, is so well done.  His internal thoughts are so rich and detailed and exactly what I would expect from a stoic man going through this kind of life-changing revelation. So often that aspect of the story is overlooked or weakly handled in a gfy (gay-for-you) romance.  Crispin, the younger MC, was delightful with his motor mouth and his charm.  I loved how he walked onto the ranch and caused such a soap opera drama just by existing with 3 strong, supposedly straight cowboys all reacting to him so strongly.Nice plot, excellent writing, strong characterizations... I hope to read more Z.A. Maxfield soon
