Let it Ride by L.C. Chase
3.0
I read the previous book in this series, Pickup Men, which led up to Let it Ride. I liked the first book enough to read the second.
I actually liked Let it Ride better than Pickup Men. However, the prologue was very clunky and annoying. It just didn't match the flow of the rest of the novel and could've done without it since Bridge's sexual identity was repeatedly brought up in the following chapters. The prologue also had me fearful that Chase was going to be yet another M/M author who denies the existence of bisexuality in their work, which I really wasn't in the mood for. It seem to touch that line, but didn't cross it.
Getting passed the prologue, the story got much better. What I liked most about it was the slow burn. Chase did a great job building up the sexual tension between Eric and Bridge. Slow burning love is always the best.
I empathized with Eric a lot, but I did think his reasonings were repetitive. Actually, many of the same issues were constantly brought up-- like Bridge's sexuality and Eric's abandonment issues-- that felt like beating a dead horse.
This wasn't the best I've read in the gay cowboy genre, but another decent summer read. And I'll definitely read book three in the series. Chase writes on the sappy side, but the plots are enough to marginally keep my interest.
3 stars.
