Cat's Review of Hard Road Back by Andrew Grey @andrewgreybooks @TTCBooksandmore

Rancher Martin Jamuson has a deep understanding of horses. He just wishes his instincts extended to his best friend, Scarborough Croughton, and the changes in their feelings toward each other. Martin may be the only friend Scarborough has in their small town, but Scarborough is a man of secrets, an outsider who’s made his own way and believes he can only rely on himself when the chips are down. Still, when he needs help with a horse, he naturally comes to Martin.

As they work together, Martin becomes more determined than ever to show Scarborough he’s someone he can trust… maybe someone he can love. Even if it risks their friendship, both men know the possibility for more between them deserves to be explored. But when Scarborough’s past reemerges, it threatens his home, horses, career, and even their lives. If they hope to survive the road before them, they’ll have to walk it together… and maybe make the leap from cautious friends to lovers along the way.

Isn't this cover just the hottest? I think it sets a good tone for the book.  I loved the friendship between Scarborough and Martin and that the story didn't start out insta love or something on that level. It was two men both lonely but respect for each other. I liked the slow build to the sexual part and that it wasn't all on the page but still enough we get the gist and sensuality of their newfound relationship.

There is a few things going on in the book where they try to figure out where the black horse came from and why he sold so cheap at the auction and is so skittish. Then another issue arises as someone keeps sneaking on Skarboroughs farm and there is an issue with Scarborough's dad. So you get several ingredients that blend smoothly into a delicious romance.

If you like friends to lovers, ranchers, and a good ole sexy romance you should love this one.
