I agree that the character most clearly described was Ryan. We did get a flashback about the first time the three men had sex together, which I didn’t think gave much info about who they were or how their relationship began.Īnother issue that other reviewers mentioned, was the lack of description about the characters. When the book started, it was like I’d arrived late to a movie and the audience knew what was happening and who the characters were and I had no clue what was happening. It felt like just a way to get us to buy the previous books. I don’t want to have to read a series of previous books in order to understand these new characters.
I didn’t particularly like the way the author dropped us into the middle of a relationship we knew nothing about. This particular book is a spin-off from another series in which the MCs appeared in first. Nate and Rio are new arrivals with nothing to do yet and the story unfolds as the three men reconnect and a situation arises that Nate becomes involved in. Ryan has moved there first and serves as the Sheriff. The story is told in third person through all three mens’ povs, but mainly from Nate’s.Ĭattle Valley is a town that is predominately occupied by LGBTQ individuals and their families. It stars Ryan Blackfeather, Nate Gills, and Rio. A book I hope to read again and again.All Play and No Work is the first book in the Cattle Valley series. The writing is a delight and the message is full of wisdom without being preachy. Wonderfully readable, vivid and energetic.
There are now quotes from it on my refrigerator. This book has sort of become a bible to me. I was intrigued and inspired from start to finish. “The Love Map is a ‘tour de force’ that depicts the journey of our fragile relationships better than anything I have ever examined. And every step of the way will be the threat of the One with the Sword, whose sworn goal is to prevent Joanna from finding the map. Joanna’s “Higher Self” tells her there is a hidden, guaranteed map for love, and Joanna is called on a hero’s journey to find it and follow it-not only for her and Daniel-but for all of humanity. It’s too random, too risky!” As their third anniversary approaches, Joanna’s boss at Google sends her on an assignment to Jerusalem. “There should be a map for love, finding it, keeping it. “There should be a map!” Joanna laments as she watches the love she thought to be as rare as a new galaxy become as tiresome as Daniel’s dirty socks on the floor of their bedroom. It’s rising in love that is the challenge and the growth and the joy.
