The Men From Echo Creek by N.R. Walker

5.0

Cute! Loved seeing these young cowboys find each other and fall in love. NR Walker did not disappoint!

I usually avoid historical MM because I don't feel like they can ever have a HEA but this one did! Loved the relationship development. I have such a soft spot for MCs who find each other randomly and fall in love. It feels like divine intervention.

I also generally avoid books with younger MCs (these guys are 19 and 18 for most of the book) but like... I didn't mind it here?

Overall the story is such a good mix of relationship development and slice of life stuff that I ADORE. Because if you're going to give me two cowboys then we better see some actual cowboy shit and this had just enough for me to feel totally satisfied.

Oh and side note, this is the second book I've read that uses BUTTER as lube. BUTTER. Like... That sounds so gross because you'll be scooping butter out of your bum for a while after but I digress.

And yet! I give bonus points to the way they discovering each other's bodies. The absolute poetry they spew at each other. The other queer characters. The gorgeous setting. The found families. The adorable epilogue. YES I'M GUSHING.

I almost rated this 4 stars but I kept thinking about it for days after I read it and may read it again so 5 stars for you!
