Smutty Saturdays -Pickup Men - Review (m/m)

I decided to start a new weekly theme.  It's going to be Smutty Saturdays.  It will feature some version of smut (erotica, menages, m/m, f/f....you get the drift).

This week we are going with some M/M loving with Pickup Men by L.C. Chase

Pickup Men (Pickup Men)

by L.C. Chase (Goodreads Author)

It takes a pissed-off Brahma bull named Shockwave to show rodeo pickup man Marty Fairgrave the cold hard truth about champion bull rider Tripp Colby: Tripp will never leave the safety of his closet or acknowledge Marty in public. Sometimes loving someone just isn’t enough, and after a year of hiding what they are, Marty finally sees the light—and it’s no longer shining on Tripp.

Tripp Colby would do anything for Marty. Well . . . almost. He’s never loved anyone before, and isn’t quite sure how to handle it now. But he knows Marty is his everything, and in order to win him back, Tripp will have to overcome his darkest fears and step into the light.

But no matter Tripp’s intentions, the cost might be too high and the effort too late for these two cowboys to ride off into the sunset

My Review...

Life in the rodeo would be bad enough but being gay on the circuit could be devastating.

For Marty he is proud to be out and doesn't care what anyone thinks.

But unfortunately for Marty he fell in love with Tripp who not only is still in the closet but has never really loved anything but the rodeo before.

Marty is trying to be content with their secret relationship but realizes it is not enough.

Due to Tripp's past he is so scared about being outed even though he may lose Marty in the end.

Tragedy and reality kick starts Tripp in the ass causing him to re-evaluate what is important to him. In the end, is love enough?
