In Twice the Cowboy, Jess, a skilled carpernter during the week and a rodeo cowboy in the weekend, meet Manuel, a slightly younger Mexican guy, a gaucho. Jess and Manuel goes along well till the beginning, but trouble are with Manuel's family, and in particul with Manuel's uncle, an homophobic man who can't suffer for his nephew being gay.

And so he "kidnaps" Manuel's horse, Mango, and a cowboy without his horse is not a complete man. So Jess tags along Manuel in his rescue for Mango. Jess is a good hearted man, the typical strong cowboy, with the face burnt from the sun, and with too many years of fatigue on the shoulders. And he is totally kept by Manuel's passion. Manuel could be younger, but he is also open and nice.

Our heroes are not alpha or beta: at first you can have the impression that Manuel is a beta, also for his sexual preferences, but, during the story, you understand they are equal, only one more chatty than the other. And if I'm honest, I prefer Manuel, "Manolito".

In this book I smell sweat, horses and leather. Until the end I can't figure out if our two heroes will stay toghether. In Twice the Cowboy the Jess and Manuel met and loved in a flash, all the plot lasts, maybe a week or less longer. But it is intense from the first scene.

In the first book we see the blossoming of a relationship between the two, but to see its full development you have to wait Twice the Ride. In this book Jess and Manuel still are "testing" their relationship. Manuel is cautious, he fears to be burnt by love. But with love and sweet swords, the same things Manuel reserved to his horses, Jess will tame the charro. Even if to doing so, he have to deal with "all" Manuel's family, and no less than during the second marriage of Manuel's mother. Cause Jess to definetly conquer Manuel, will have to put apart some of his reservedness.

Twice the Ride is the right ending of a very sexy story. Both the books are pretty hot, right for who loves manlove a bit spicy.
