Summer Drifter

De: RJ Scott

Narrado por: Sean Crisden

One man craves family, the other isolation; neither of them was searching for love.

Experienced and much-in-demand horse trainer Levi doesn't need or want people. With his horse and dog at his side, he lives out of his trailer and trains horses in the summer to earn just enough to head south for winter. Everything in his easy-going life is on track until he knocks over Quinn, a pink-haired stranger who pirouettes in front of his truck, sits in his lap, and calls him cowboy with the sexiest voice he's ever heard. Anger turns to frustration, lust turns to love, and by the end of the summer, Levi doesn't know which way to turn.

Quinn loses everything when the cops find his brother's body on the remains of a compound that belonged to a cult. Damaged and vulnerable, Max had been the only safe place for Quinn in his otherwise cold family, but finding out that Max might have had a son sends Quinn to Wyoming and the Lennox Ranch. When he's knocked to the ground on day one at the ranch, he wonders if maybe he should have thought things through better. He never meant to fall for the closed-off cowboy, but somehow Levi steals his heart and Quinn falls in love.

Contains mature themes.

Story holds your interest

RJ Scott creates interesting and compelling settings and characters. Like a lot of these gay MM romances, tend to be very repetitive in terms of telling the reader the same information over and over.

The same, but different

This story follows a pattern many of these romances share. But these characters are so loveable. This is the second book I’ve read in this series, book 1 and 2, and I’ve loved them both, straight to the heart.

Good story. Good narration.

This story builds a little on the previous book, but it can be read as a standalone. The romance was a nice balance of steamy and "getting to know you". The romantic tension in the story was nicely built. I didn't quite buy into Quin's need to keep secrets, but that might just be my personal preference for being straightforward. I was also puzzled about some characters in the first book who didn't show in this one. I feel like I missed something.

Overall an entertaining read with a well performed narration.

The story is worth a listen.

Okay. I really enjoyed the author taking on gay stereotypes in the bedroom. Bottom shaming is a common occurrence. Like the first book, everything is rapidly wrapped up in the last 3 chapters of the book. Kind of left with “that’s all I get” ending. But, it’s a free listen. Give it a try.

Great story

A very good story. Love Quinn and Levy.
I am not a big fan of Rachel.
