The blurb looked fantastic. I was giddy like a school girl. If you haven’t noticed, I’m partial to a smutty read and this looked to be a slam dunk. Unfortunately, twas not to be. For me.The train started to come off the tracks with the corny dialogue. I got suckerpunched with the “wet fart” that got unleashed after Barry got sandwiched the first time-a skosh too much realism for my delicate constitution/escapist reading pleasure. The cooking tips while inventive take up far too much page time for what’s essentially PWP. Then the dog, Rex, got his junk checked out by all three and that, my friends, was the beginning of the end.Cowboy Sandwich focuses far too much on mundane details and the writing feels clunky. Even at my measly 26%, I should’ve been interested in the characters and/or story, but the stilted dialogue coupled with the two knuckleheads who keep grabbing their junk as an “incentive package” for Barry to remain as their cook muddled the picture and torched any interested I had. The characters of Jimmy and Jake are ridiculously competitive to the point of silliness. They are caricaturist representations of cowboys that border on offensive, towards cowboys, that is. I cannot fathom that these are two grown adults who own and operate a ranch together. They snipe and heckle each other constantly which was juvenile and grating.So… I had to throw the towel in. Perhaps others will be able to overlook my stumbling blocks. Sorry I can’t count myself among them.
