review 1: Sam is returning home from an Army hospital after being nearly beaten to death when it was revealed that he is gay. He is returning to a father that believes homosexuality is a sin and barely tolerates Sam. Sam’s mother spends her time crying and praying that Sam is only going through a phase. He goes home to face the condemnation of his family and to try and figure out what he is going to do with the rest of his life. The only people Sam has to depend on are his younger sister and Cooper, his best friend from high school. Cooper and Sam are both good country boys. I liked them but neither one of them really captured my attention, they were just nice guys. I would have found them more compelling if they weren’t quite so one dimensional. I needed some flaws in t... morehem to make them feel like real people. The one thing they had going for them was the chemistry and love between them. It was obvious and it was strong and that’s what kept my interest. If you’re looking for a sweet, uncomplicated romance with nice, likeable characters then this is the book for you. Unfortunately, that’s not my style and I found it to be fine but forgettable. I thought it was too romantic and sweet. The virgin hero theme didn’t do it for me either, too big a deal was made of it. I could understand Cooper being so astounded by it if Sam had been pining after him or waiting for love. Sam wasn’t, he just never had the opportunity to have sex. I also didn’t like that everything worked out perfectly for them and they only had very minor conflicts to overcome. I would have appreciated more emotional turmoil, more obstacles to their romance, anything to make it not so perfect.
review 2: This story was a light sweet romance between two bests friends, Sam and Cooper. End of their school years Sam went away and joined the army and Cooper stayed on Sam's family ranch and became a horse trainer. Both of them never told each other how they felt. Sam career lasted 6 years after that he had been discharged for being gay, or rather, for being beaten senseless because he was gay.The story starts with Sam who is coming home after being discharged from the Army. In overall the story was sweet, slow and circled around new developing relationship between Sam and his best friend Coop. less
