 When Lightning Strikes (Stable Tales Book 1) by Darragha Foster


BLURB

Former soldier Johnny Jewell is a gay cowboy who has never been with another man.

He kept his desires buried deep, married, had a family and lost everything when he came out. A lightning strike, fire and death burn his already complicated world to white-hot ash. All he has left now are horses and hard work. After a move across the country, he meets a horse trainer named Sig and finds it’s time to saddle up and face the storm head-on. Will the next lightning strike put him asunder or spark life in the beast within?



REVIEW

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(3.5 stars rounded off)


I’m thirty-five, and I feel like my entire life has been a battle zone.


Johnny Jewell has been to war, gotten married and had kids. 

When he comes out to his wife of seven years, his whole life is torn apart, because she wants nothing to do with him anymore.

Now he's at crossroads. He's left his family behind and has no desire to return to the military either.

All he wants is a place to find companionship without living a lie.


No…it wasn’t the sun. It was a man. A man who shone like the sun


Joe Sigfusson is Icelandic and an experienced horse trainer.

When Jewell lays eyes on him for the first time, he is overwhelmed by the handsome man who looks like a Nordic God come to life with the most playful blue eyes and an exceptionally impressive physique.


As the air around them crackles with their explosive chemistry, will Jewell get his second shot at finding true happiness and finally live the life he deserves?


This was a short, sweet novella which touches on themes such as coming out and self discovery.

This would have worked better as a full length novel, where we could get more page time with the MC's and explore their relationship.


If you are looking for a quick read with medium angst and sexy cowboys, this is for you!

  BLURB   I knew the instant I saw him he was meant for me.  I feel like the focus of my life took a hundred-and-eighty-degree shift.  I couldn’t stop thinking about him.  He became my obsession…my descent into hell.  Damn. I couldn’t be sure who the monster was…him, me or my enemies.  My heart and mind will defy all logic but he doesn’t know that.  I’ll do anything for Dillon. He defines my destiny and I will fight for his survival. Our fates are sealed.  I shall not wait any longer.  REVIEW   This book is unlike anything I have ever read. I don't want to give much away, so I won't go too much into detail about the story itself. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this, but let me tell you, I was engaged from the very first page. The twists and turns will keep you guessing and at the edge of your seat. The characters are real, relatable and well fleshed out. I liked that this was in dual POV as we get a perspective ...

  BLURB  Everyone hopes his road to happily ever after will be carefree and smooth, but too often hair-pin turns and detours seem to get in the way.   Having thought he was on the road to forever before, former Silicon Valley programmer Dan Lassiter is leery about pedaling down it again. His elderly companion Charlie urges him to get to know Rick Reardon whose bakery is across the street from Dan’s bicycle shop.   Under the watchful eye of Charlie, Dan and Rick take tentative steps towards each other, all the while trying to avoid potholes such as exes, homophobes, and family problems.   As summer turns to fall and then winter, they hope that the road will be smooth going from their first date and first kiss to having what Rick’s sister euphemistically calls their “sleep overs”. At each step, though, they are tripped up and wonder why there seem to be so many bumps in their road.   Maybe Dan and Rick should heed some of Charlie’s sage advice or maybe they s...
