Wild Horses by Selah March

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Kris Killborn is a wanna-be country singer who tries to make both ends meet working as hand in a dude ranch in Montana. He is not a bad man, but probably at 27 years old he needs to give up to his glory dreams and finds a real work.

Blake is a 24 years old med student from the East. Wealthy south family and gay he is just recovering from a nervous breakdown: his best friend and roommate Charlie dead in a car accident while they were arguing about their relationship; shattered by the sense of guilty, Blake tried to commit suicide. Now, months later, he and three of his friends, are taking the vacation that Charlie organized for them two years before, for the end of the college.

Kris knows that Blake is in a fragile emotional phase, but at first he doesn't care: Blake is cute and gentle, and it's an easy target for a summer fling. But more he is near the guy, more Kris feels his conscience arise: Blake is not a man he can seduce and leaving soon after. But a cowboy from Montana and a wasp boy from Biloxi can have a common path together?

As I said Kris is a good man, pretty simple and open; instead Blake is more shadowy, and maybe still young. But Blake is ready to move on, after his mourning period, and Kris is just there to help him.

Wild Horses is the sequel of Seven Year Ache, the story of Rafe and JT of the Lacy C, the same dude ranch where Kris works. Actually I have the previous book, but I didn't read it since I thought it was a menage M/M/F and instead, reading Wild Horses, I was intrigued by this couple, that in the second book sometime steals the scene to the main characters. Wild Horses is a real sequel, since the real plot is about Rafe, JT and Lilah, and Kris and Blake are almost an audience, which sidelong live its own little story.

Thank you so much for your kind comments about WILD HORSES. You really seem to grasp what I was going for with the characters of Kris and Blake.

I wrote a post today on the Amber Quill Authors' Blog (http://aqpauthors.blogspot.com/2008/07/art-and-science-of-sequel.html) about the experience of writing this sequel. You might find it interesting.

I hope you enjoy SEVEN YEAR ACHE just as much. :)
