To Love a Cowboy by Rhianne Aile

 

Seven years ago, Roan Bucklin left the family ranch for college, leaving foreman Patrick Lassiter with a mix of sweltering emotions: relief, regret, and nearly overwhelming desire. Afraid that Roan would regret giving himself to an older man, Patrick let him go without a word about his true feelings. But Roan took Patrick's heart with him.

Roan had harbored a crush on Patrick from the time he'd turned fourteen. He thought he'd gotten over it, grown up, moved on, but now he's back and home to stay. After one look, he knows he has something to prove to Patrick – that he wants to be claimed by the cowboy who has always possessed his heart.

Rhianne Aile’s To Love A Cowboy is spectacular. The magnetism between Patrick and Roan will sweep you up and turn you inside out as your heart melts. To Love A Cowboy is laced with edginess, laden with passion and will make your heart soar.

Justice is set in the old west where hotel owners bring hot bath water to the rooms and barkeepers buy your first drink to welcome you to town. Ms. Aile outdid herself in this lovely story about three brothers in search of justice and in finding it they also find love. 

 I absolutely loved To Love A Cowboy and feel if you love a great read with sexy cowboys, this book is a MUST. Both stories are western tales that are bound to satisfy your craving for Stetsons, work-roughened hands, men in saddles and of course men loving men.

Whipped Cream Reviews - 5 Cherries

This book contains two separate novellas — "To Love a Cowboy" and "Justice" — and they had me fanning myself more than once. In "To Love a Cowboy", you experience the sexual tension between the two almost immediately in the longing that Patrick feels for Roan, who he fears is forbidden to him. Roan has loved Patrick for years but struggles with his own insecurities because of Patrick’s dismissive behavior toward him. There is a significant age difference between the two, and this creates an internal conflict within each of them — Patrick is afraid that Roan will tire of him when he gets older; and Roan, who grew up around Patrick, thinks he still sees him as a kid.

It’s not a smooth journey, but Patrick and Roan work to find a way through their mutual misgivings and Ms. Aile relays their tale beautifully. My heart ached from the very beginning because I felt Patrick’s anguish the first time he sees Roan — after seven years — with another man. He is crushed by jealousy but at the same time chides himself for the emotion because he’s convinced that Roan would never want him. The constant internal battles and external resistance kept the passion high and the story captivating.

"Justice" is about three gay brothers in the old west who find a town with open minds about sexual preference. Traveling around for years, set on vengeance against the man responsible for their parents’ death, they get side-tracked in the town of Justice by opportunities for love. The fact that the characters of the three brothers — as well as their love interests — are developed so thoroughly in less than one hundred pages is a testament to Ms. Aile’s artistry as a writer.

The intimate scenes in both novellas are steamy and vividly described and written to quicken your pulse. At no time did I feel sex was gratuitous; it was an expression of sincere affection, and was in keeping to the spirit of the growth of the characters. The appeal of gay erotic romance for me is that men are usually depicted as strong, yet very vulnerable, making the characters richer and more appealing than the typical brooding or closed-off men portrayed in traditional romances. If you’ve never read gay erotic romance and are curious, this is a perfect introduction. If you already enjoy the genre, you’ve got try this one — and keep a fan handy!

To Love a Cowboy - Patrick and Roan are two cowboys in love, but their stubborn natures and frustrations about sex may destroy their relationship before it can even start. All Roan wants is To Love a Cowboy and he feels that should be Patrick. And when these two communicate with each other, well, those intimate scenes between the two burn bright and there is no doubt that even with the twenty year age difference, I knew these two belonged together. Rhianne Aile has written a beautiful and touching love story about two men who defy the odds to be with one another. Even though she portrays these two men as rough and at times a bit stubborn, she also shows a gentler side to both of them that I found to be very appealing. This is one romance that is very sweet and sexy and should not be missed.

Justice - Justice is one story with a lot of man love to go around. Rhianne Aile has taken an interesting concept of the old west and made it geared toward a romance mainly between men and only men. Each of the Abrams brothers' love stories are very unique and different. Nate is being courted by two men, Noah enjoys Simon who is a business man in public but quite the inventive lover behind closed doors, and Adam's romance with Dale is sweet and nice, because Dale is much like a shy librarian spinster.

I always have had a weakness for cowboys and Rhianne Aile has written two such stories about these types of men who are passionate and need love. Their love may be with another man, but that doesn't take away from the sexiness found here. If you like unconventional romances with some hot sex scenes, I recommend you try both To Love and Cowboy and Justice.

TO LOVE a COWBOY is a well-written and spicy western romance. Patrick and Roan are well developed characters. I really connected with their feelings. I wanted these to men to overcome their differences because it is evident how much they belong together. Rhianne Aile has written a delightful story about what can happen when two people have the courage to take a second chance at love.  
 

JUSTICE by Rhianne Aile is an inventive re-imagining of the tales of the old west. In this novel, the setting takes center stage. Justice and its residents come to life in rich detail. I really enjoyed reading about this town and getting to know the characters. Adam and his brothers are fun and sexy heroes. The electric heat between them and their partners jump off the page. Thanks to this novel, I realize, how tantalizing Wild West cowboys can be. 


In this novel, Ms. Aile has written two deliciously hot and intriguing tales where cowboys take center stage. What I liked most about these stories is how different they are. It was refreshing to read a contemporary romance and then switch gears to a story set in the old west. These two stories prove that no matter what year it is cowboys are always burning hot.

To Love A Cowboy

A wonderfully written story. Ms. Aile has given us characters that are sexy, caring, and sensual. The plot is well defined as are her characters. She gives the reader insight into their past and the types of backgrounds they come from. Her ability to write a cast of supporting characters is beyond measure. She brings her book alive with spirit and heart. If you love your cowboys, do not pass this by.

Justice

This was one of the best stories I have read in this genre. I loved that the brothers are close and look out for one another. The scenes are very well written and filled with passion.

Ms. Aile has a very vivid imagination and it shines through in her work. I could not have asked for a more enticing read. The cowboys are hot, the sex is steamy yet romantic at times. She captures her reader with the promise of hope and finding your one true love. I am anxiously awaiting the next book from this marvelous author.
