More Cattle Valley

I've had a really lousy day, and I couldn't wait to get home.  I don't know what is wrong, but I've just been bitchy all day. On the way home, I started looking forward to sitting down to write a little bit.  So, where were we? Yes, Cattle Valley. 

Book three in the series is Sweet Topping, and I love this story. Kyle and Gill are so sweet together.  Kyle is reluctant to start a relationship with anyone because he's not sure what he has to offer sexually.  He's a paraplegic, and even though Gill assures him it doesn't matter, Kyle can't help being selfconcious.  The fact that Gill goes out of his way to learn about Kyle's condition is evidence that he is crazy about Kyle...a fact that you find out earlier in the series.  I love the fact that, even though Gill is the physically dominant man in their relationship, Kyle is the one who holds all the cards, and Gill is dependent on Kyle's love. 

Rough Ride is book four. This is the book that introduced me to gay romance.  Wyn and Ezra have been dancing around each other for a while now.  Wyn's unfortunate circumstances in book one lead him to be a little gunshy of people in general, but especially men of Ezra's size.  The two men have let sticks and stones keep them apart for far too long, but when Wyn needs someone he can trust to protect him, there is no one better for the job than Ezra, and Ezra is more than ready to take care of his Wyn.  I absolutely loved this book.  You get a good look at the other characters and members of the town, which is why I was so eager to read the rest of the series. 

I have to admit that when I first started reading gay romance novels, the sex scenes threw me off a little. I mean, I am a woman...who was raised in the south...and went to a Baptist college. So it took me a while to wrap my brain around two men going at it like bunnies, not to mention the fact that it was turning me on to read it.  But now that I've gotten past my squeamishness, I can say that the sex in Carol Lynne's book is HOT!  Ok...enough of that...more later.
