Riding Heartbreak Road by Kiernan Kelly

I want to cry. I just finished Riding Heartbreak Road by Kiernan Kelly: is a beautiful romance.

Jake is a bull rider living in a small teaxn town who has always hide is homosexuality. Brent is a wealthy new yorker business man who never hide. From the very first encounter they fall in love, but love is not simple when others people thinks you are an abominious. But love is also a great alley for pass almost everything.

While I was reading this book I had the sensation that sex was not the main aspect of this book. Sex is present, but not in first role. More important are the feelings of the two men, and also a tenderness present for all the book.

It is also interesting when the same scene is tell to us first from Jake and then from Brent; Kiernan Kelly use this tecnique often during the book: I like it, I have the sensation to know better the whole meaning of the scene.

But in end I have a question for Kiernan: why do you write that epilogue? You make me cry!!!

I was the editor for this book and I was totally choked up by the ending, too!

I love the book, really, but I don't understand that epilogue. It is detached from the rest of the book... I know that the real life is behind the corner, but sometimes I don't want to read it.

It was a glimpse at the future I guess... sometimes they're interesting to see.

And I shouldn't post late at night; I didn't edit it, I proof read it; sorry.

I know, I know...the epilogue was a little sad, but so is life. I wanted to show that in life there is happiness and sadness both, and that there is also hope; that perhaps the end is not the end at all.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the book, and thank you so much for your kind comments!
