Second in the Home series, this is the story of Tony, ex travelling rodeo partner of Randy, main character of the first book. Tony, a latino bull rider, is living in Les and Randy's ranch when he is not competing in the national rodeo circuit. But, even if he loves both his friends and would do nothing to create trouble between them, he sometimes resents thier happiness and wishes to have a bit of it for himself. And after spending a one standing night with and handsome man in Hawaii, he can't force himself to forget the man.

But family issues cause him to think to the past and how he was thrown of house at fifteen years old when he confessed to be gay. Now his nephew Juan is having the same problem and when he goes to Texas to help him, he also finds another young boy in needs of help, an eighteen years old hustler, Yancey, who seems to old for his age. Tony brings back Yancey to Wyoming with him and he is very surprised when the boy older brother arrives to the ranch to fetch his brother: he is the same handsome man he spent a night with in Hawaii, Brody.

From this moment on, the story is a blurry of events, all of them happening around the different locations of the national rodeo circuit and with a common turning point in Wyoming.

Home of His Own is a very erotic romance, Brody and Tony are a pretty taken couple, but it's also a book written by someone who clearly like the rodeo and the men who work on the circuit. It's mostly a love story and there aren't problems between Brody and Tony that put on stake their relationship. Problems arrive from the outside world, especially from the very traditionalist family of Tony.

The book is also a way for who liked No Going Home, to not let go two lovely characters like Les and Randy, but also to have a glimpse on possible future characters, like Juan and Yancey, but above all, like Derek St. Martin, a country singer with some secret of his own. I'd like very much to read about Derek in the next book of this series.

Enthralled was a short story about a suicidal young hemophiliac man, Colin, who finds love for the first time in the arms of an ancient vampire, Rowland.

Now, in another short story, we taste a very erotic little interlude in their common life: Colin is Rowland's thrall, and Rowland wants to be sure that everyone knows that Colin is his and his only, and he wants also to protect the man when he is not around. So he takes Colin to a special tattoo parlor, where another vampire does magical tattoos embedded with ancient chants and spells.

Colin has to face a very difficult trial for a man who was used to not be near to needles and similar: his special tattoo is placed all around is buttocks and groin. But Rowland is near him to "distract" the man from his embarassing position...

As all the Alpha men of Laura Baumbach, Rowland is a big muscular man who can be gentle and caring for his little companion. There is no doubt who is the leading partner in this couple, and Colin needs and wants a firm hand in his life. He is totally dependant from Rowland, and in his case it's not only a behaviour choice: the blood exchange with Rowland prevents Colin's illness to progress.

For sure I recommend to read Breathing after have read also Enthralled, cause all the relationship between Colin and Rowland could only be understand if you have an idea on how they met.

An almost "classical" vampire story, for much classica can be an M/M romance :-)
