Review: The Lone Rancher

The Lone Rancher The Lone Rancher by Andrew Grey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

2.5 Stars -- Cowboy Up!! I wanted to like it..I really did

This is book number four in Dreamspinner Press' Dreamspun Desires Series and we have a hot cowboy, Aubrey Klein, who is looking to find a way to save his parents ranch, live his life, come out of the closet, and find a happily ever after. He is offered a creative way to make money, as a erotic dancer in a gay club, and does this on a weekly basis with every plan to never let anyone find out about his weekend activities and to quit just as soon as the ranch is safe from foreclosure. Well you know what they say about the best laid plans..

Garrett Lamston, has known Aubrey for years and has hidden something about himself from everyone, he is gay and he has a huge crush on Aubrey. Not only are both men in the closet, but they live in Texas in the Bible Belt, being gay just isn't an option - and then there is Aubrey's weekend activities that he has to continue on the down low in order to protect his families livelihood.


I was really excited for this book because, hot cowboy story written by Andrew Grey..should be awesome, right? Well sadly I was wrong. There is just something that was missing in this book maybe it was the lack of angst or the super easy resolutions to problems without hardly any conflict that just didn't fly with me. Whatever it was, I am sad to say that I just couldn't connect with this book. I read it. However, when it was over I was like "okay, that's done.. whats next" no sense of longing for more that I usually feel regarding a book.




Overall, I just cannot rate this book higher than a 2.5 as it just lacked the "stuff" needed to make me crave more and fully enjoy a story. If you are looking for a story that is easy going, soft on conflict with super easy resolutions then this might be for you.
