I love cowboys, I love horses, I love Montana, I love gay men, and, well, I love porn. Stands to reason then that I would really like this story. *grins*Joshua is kicking himself in the behind for spending so much time getting his horse business up and running after he took over his daddy's ranch that he let Ben get away. Not only is Ben his best friend's little brother, but his best friend is fighting in Afghanistan and, obviously, Joshua hasn't fulfilled his promise to take care of his dad and brother. Especially Ben, seeing as someone in their little tiny town leaked the fact that Ben is in Vegas doing Internet gay porn. The fact that watching that porn isn't helping anything is beside the point. *of course it is*"Those moments, those intimate moments, those firsts, were supposed to be Joshua's, and they'd been stolen as surely as if cattle thieves had raided his pastures." Joshua heads to Vegas to bring Ben home where he belongs, where his dad still loves him and wants him back. Poor Ben. He's so darn confused when Joshua shows up. When Joshua tells him he watched all of his films, Ben about dies of embarrassment. Joshua figures the only way he can convince Ben that coming home with him is the right thing to do, is to show Ben how Joshua feels. Well, Ben isn't experienced with feelings like this. He had sex with some girls in Montana and in Vegas all the guys claim to be gay-for-pay, so Ben can hardly believe the man who starred in all of his fantasies growing up is making love to him. And, trust me when I say, it's a gorgeous scene!Ben is right about one thing, though. He won't come back to Clyde's Corner and hide who he is. Ben doesn't want that kind of life and he knows Joshua will never come out, so it's best for Ben to stay in Vegas and for Joshua to head home. Oh, the age-old heartache of love separated and trying to be happy without the other piece of its soul. Do they get their happy ever after? Is there a Christmas miracle in store for both Ben and Joshua? Oh, and the scene where Joshua announces his intentions at the town Christmas meeting? Priceless.Loved this story! It was everything I had hoped it would be and more. Great job, Eli, and thank you!NOTE: This book was provided by Dreamspinner Press for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
