I enjoyed catching up with Macklin and Caine again, and think I enjoyed their storyline here a little more than Chris and Jesse's. This was written beautifully with very little lag in pacing. The characterisations were true to the previous story and the chemistry between the two main couples was smokin'! I only had two problems that made this a 4 star book instead of a five star. One is that Seth never felt like a sixteen year old. He seemed much, much younger. (I also felt this with Jason in the previous book.) Secondly, I am the last generation of a long line of farm stock and have never heard the word 'drongo' used by anyone! I know it is a word associated with Aussies so I'm not complaining about the use of it but it pops up so frequently that it got a little irritating.

Sequel to Inherit the SkyLang Downs: Book Two Twenty-year-old Chris Simms is barely keeping his head above water. After losing his mother and his home, he struggles to provide for himself and his brother. When homophobes attack him, he thinks his life is over, but then he's rescued by jackaroos from a nearby sheep station. He's as stunned to be offered a job there as he is to discover both the station owner and foreman are gay. For Chris, Lang Downs is a dream-one that only gets better when Chris realizes the jackaroo he's crushing on, Jesse Harris, is gay and amenable to a fling. Everything goes well until Chris realizes he's falling for Jesse a lot harder than allowed by their deal. Jesse is a drifter who moves from station to station, never looking for anything permanent. Convinced Chris is too young and fragile for a real relationship, he sets rules to keep things casual. Watching the station owner and his foreman together makes Jesse wonder if there are benefits to settling down, but when he realizes how Chris feels about him, he panics. He and Chris will have to decide if a try for happiness is worth the risk before the end of the season tears them apart. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Another visit to Lang Downs was like going back home again. It's just that kind of series that a person gets comfortable with. Chris Simms has been barely making ends meet working as a dishwasher and taking care of his 16 year old brother, Seth. A gay bashing brings Chris and Seth into the fold of the Lang Downs family. Caine, Macklin and a couple of the guys are in Yass looking to hire some new jackaroos for the season. Last year had been a tough one and many of Caine and Mack's better jackaroos left after finding out that Caine and Macklin were a couple. Macklin and Neil step in and save Chris from being killed but he does have some serious injuries. With no family, Chris and Seth return to the station and become part of Lang Down. Chris is soon paired up to work with Jesse who is a closeted seasonal worker and we are soon looking at a younger version of Caine and Macklin. There were a few nice, heart warming surprises in this book like Caine's parent's visiting Lang Downs. There is no real mystery or life and death action just excellent writing about life on a sheep station in Australia. I enjoyed the way that Chris and Jesse's lives almost mirrored those of Caine and Macklin. Much like RJ Scott with her Texas series, Ms Tachna has the talent to take everyday life and weave it into something special that leaves the reader sitting back just feeling good and wanting more. The subjects of homophobia and family are handled perfectly through the personal interactions of the people both gay and straight on Lang Downs. I don't know if there is another visit to Lang Downs planned but if there is another one, I suggest you be there. ( )
