Aspiring orchestra conductor Marshall is exhausted after months of auditions without a single job offer. Marshall’s friend, Terry, recommends a change of scenery and points Marshall in the direction of a dude ranch run by former bull rider Indigo Santana. Marshall is understandably skeptical, but his friend is convincing, and Marshall needs a break, so he agrees to go.
Indigo captures Marshall’s attention but leaves him confused. Indigo’s confidence is shot after an injury ended his rodeo career, and he walks with a slight limp. He hasn’t been anywhere near a bull since he was hurt, and he’s not the most accommodating host. After all, the only reason he keeps guests is because his family ranch is all but bankrupt.
Marshall’s attraction doesn’t go unanswered, which leaves him with a huge dilemma. He’s torn between the possibility of love, something he’s searched for all his life, and the career he’s worked toward for as long as he can remember, which is miles away. From his side of the fence, Indigo doesn’t see how the ranch could ever be enough. | |

Marshall is passionate about his music, and he has been trying to get the conductor’s position he wants for a very long time. It is exhausting to always come up as second best, but he is determined. What makes it worse is that his parents don’t understand or support him. He needs a break, and ends up on Indigo’s dude ranch for some peace and quiet. Not that he finds it. Instead, he meets Indigo and is totally intrigued by the outwardly friendly host. Marshall senses there is more to the man than meets the eye, and over a week of more and more intense encounters, he ends up falling for the ex-bullrider. There is only one problem: Marshall still wants to be a conductor, and that can only happen in a city, and Indigo lives and breathes his ranch.
Indigo used to be a confident man, and he loved bullriding and the rodeo. He can’t even walk without a limp, and while he rides horses to accompany the paying guests on the ranch he has turned into a business, he has not been back on a bull. Even the mechanical bull owned by his friend Dante (from books one) on a neighboring ranch scares Indigo. Marshall intrigues him, but he can hardly believe the sophisticated guy is interested in him. And even though they clearly “click” and get along really well, Indigo’s home is right there on the family ranch. It may tear him apart but he can’t stand in Marshall’s way and ask him to give up his career to stay in a place that can never give Marshall what Indigo thinks the man needs.
These two guys tore at my heartstrings. Both know so well what they need, and it seems they can never have it and be a couple. Or they can be a couple but one of them will have to give up his ambitions. The quiet pace of this gentle story inexorably pulled me into the slowly emerging emotional thunderstorm their lives become as they meet, get to know each other, and fall in love. As usual with Andrew Grey’s books, these men and their issues are real, and he manages to bring out how extraordinary they are when they are together.
If you like cowboys who need to figure out what’s next after their last rodeo is over and done with, if an aspiring conductor with a love of music searching for his purpose in life sounds interesting, and if you want to see what an emotionally explosive situation they end up in together, then you should definitely read this novel. It is hot, deeply emotional, and adds another wonderful love story to this series about ex-bullriders and the men they fall in love with.
