Aubrey Klein is in real trouble—he needs some fast money to save the family ranch. His solution? A weekend job as a stripper at a club in Dallas. For two shows each Saturday, he is the star as The Lone Rancher.
It leads to at least one unexpected revelation: after a show, Garrett Lamston, an old friend from school, approaches the still-masked Aubrey to see about some extra fun… and Aubrey had no idea Garrett was gay. As the two men dodge their mothers’ attempts to set them up with girls, their friendship deepens, and one thing leads to another.
Aubrey know his life stretching between the ranch and the club is a house of cards. He just hopes he can keep it standing long enough to save the ranch and launch the life—and the love—he really hopes he can have.

I was really excited for this book because, hot cowboy story written by Andrew Grey..should be awesome, right? Well sadly I was wrong. There is just something that was missing in this book maybe it was the lack of angst or the super easy resolutions to problems without hardly any conflict that just didn’t fly with me. Whatever it was, I am sad to say that I just couldn’t connect with this book. I read it. However, when it was over I was like “okay, that’s done.. whats next” no sense of longing for more that I usually feel regarding a book.
Overall, I just cannot rate this book higher than a 2.5 as it just lacked the “stuff” needed to make me crave more and fully enjoy a story. If you are looking for a story that is easy going, soft on conflict with super easy resolutions then this might be for you.
