Spirit Sanctuary by Gabrina Garza
Last time I read a short cowboy story (this afternoon actaully...) I congratulated with the author to have written an erotic story with a plot, even if the sex was more than the plot... fate wanted that the next one I read was exactly the contrary, a story with almost no sex, and if you don't consider a blow job like "real" sex, then you can say that this story has no sex, and if instead you consider it, take in account that, in 60 pages lenght, you will find it at the very end. But, strange to say, you didn't miss it, since the exchange between the two male characters is funny and sparkling, and you would be happy to read it even if they didn't jump in bed at first occasion.Rebel is a true Texan: he manages a shelter for mistreated horses and in his position, he needs to deal with donors and paperworks, but really it's not his thing. He prefers the manual work and the outdoor life. So it's really bad luck when the first day in months he takes off, he is dumped by his horse in the middle of nowhere with a fractured ankle. His savior is Kai, the man who is just arriving to the ranch to help him with the managing details of his work.
Kai is young, friendly, funny and a freak for order and organization. If not for the chemistry between them, the cohabitation would be unbearable. And instead Kai and Rebel go along pretty well and since the first moment they know, and the reader as well, that they will finish together... so enjoy the ride!
The story is not so short, 60 pages, but actually it "spans" short: it describes only 1 day and half in the life of Rebel, and the most interesting thing is Rebel's tale of how he decided to found the shelter, the story of Spirit, the Palomino for with the ranch became a Sanctuary. Second it comes Kai, with his joviality and open behavior, and above all, his sketch with the bathroom bottles...
