This is my second book in a few days by L.C. Chase. I just finished Pickup Men and could not wait to read more. I think this book is brilliant. I loved it even more than Pickup Men;. I don't know how that is possible, but it has to be because of the characters.Travis Morgan is a horse trainer that never stays long in any one place. He's known for his incredible ability with horses, and that he is gay. Being openly gay has gotten him beaten up in the past, so he doesn't advertise it, but it is known through the horse world. He carries a lot of baggage, which prevents him from staying anywhere permanently. Ray Ford, the owner of the ranch Travis is going to work at, is so deep in the closet that no light gets in. Ray is terrified of loosing everything if his secret comes out.Unknowing, Ray gives Travis a lift, to his ranch The attraction between the two is instantaneous, but neither knows who the other is at that moment. After that first meeting, their attraction escalates. Neither is willing to commit since Travis believes he won't stay and Ray believes he will never reveal his secret. Everything is drawn out very slowly, but when they come together it is absolutely incredible.L.C.Chase moves the story very slowly, but that is what makes this works so well. It builds and builds till it explodes.Her scenes with the ranch, the horses are so well done. You don't have to care about ranching to enjoy this. There are some wonderful side characters, Dot the housekeeper is a hoot.I hope Ms.Chase plans more stories like this in future. I know I wouldn't hesitate to own them.I give it a corral worth of stars.
