Sarah Black's writing has never disappointed and this one is no exception. If anything I have to say she has excelled with this one. The story grips me from the beginning till the very end. No let-up at all. It is not easy to review such excellent writing, which is so rare in the MM romance genre. Like the first reviewer comments, there are so many phases, scenes, depictions which I could only marvel. All I can say is read it, experience it and I am sure you will agree.She has created two amazing and compelling characters in Lorenzo and Jesse. It may be Lorenzo's narration but I get to know Jesse just as well. Two very contrasting and interesting characters and so right for each other. Their romance is like a whirlwind which catches me, spins me around and leaves me breathless but so very satisfied in the end. I love the setting of the story in this little backward town which is as original as is one secondary character nicknamed The Original. Because of her background, this writer often injects the impact of wars into her story and she has done it again so well and meaningfully with this one. I am no American but that did not prevent me from thinking aloud "so meaningless..if only.." Marathon Cowboys is a gem of a story, the words beautiful and riveting. I wish more readers will appreciate it.
