Heath is the final story in the Broken Horn Ranch series. Bi-awakening story, with added peacocks.
From the blurb:
Can tattoos induce a sexual awakening?
Heath
I met this guy, Marko. He has the best tattoos.
We hang out all the time and he even loves the farm animals as much as I do. He’s Croatian and he kisses me on the cheek sometimes, too. That’s such a kind gesture and I really like it when he does that.
He speaks another language and even likes to paint on paper, not just the skin of his tattoo clients.
I can’t imagine not having our weekly coffee meetings. Or missing the rides on his motorbike.
The guys on the ranch tell me we’re dating, but I’d know if we were.
Wouldn’t I?
Marko
Heath is the quintessential boy next door. He’s all sunshine energy and a smile that makes my heart stop.
And I’m the tattooed son of a criminal. I keep to myself and prefer the company of my motorcycle and the open road over people.
But Heath isn’t like most people. He has a pet peacock for one thing, and he’s beyond thoughtful.
He makes me wish for more.
Now that we’ve grown close, I want to take our relationship further, but there’s a problem. He doesn’t know we’ve been dating and I’m already half in love with him.
This story contains an insatiable Heath once he gets a taste, a peacock who interrupts, and all the men of the Broken Horn Ranch quietly waiting for Heath to figure out he’s never really been straight. Swoony dates and gestures galore, and a heartfelt trip to Croatia. Low angst, adorable discoveries and the babble that can only come from Heath and his golden retriever energy.
Rogue's review:
- series
- bisexual awakening
- low angst
This was an unexpected treat. I was sure the Broken Horn series ended with the last book, so when I found out Heath was getting his story, I was all in. I loved this series and the men in it and this was the perfect ending. While this is Heath and Marko's story, it's also Heath and Jeff's story. There's no cheating - Jeff is Heath's peacock and an integral part of this story. Without spoilers, it made me almost cry at points too, I was sad but it was done so well I didn't stay sad for long.
I loved Marko and Heath, they're so utterly perfect together and I loved how completely oblivious Heath was to the fact they were dating at the start. Marko was so remarkably patient and willing to wait in the hopes Heath would realise, and when he did, oh boy did the heat ramp up. Once Heath realised he was attracted to Marko and that he might not be all that straight, he was all in and I was here for it. I liked how connected Marko was to his family and Croatian heritage, and there was a satisfying closure to his story with his dad, too. The cast of characters at the ranch are integral to the story too, and I enjoyed seeing them again in the course of the story.
If this truly is the end for the boys at Broken Horn, it's more than fitting.
Heather's Review:
I have loved all of the Broken Horn Ranch books and I've been waiting to see who would be paired with Heath (and what would happen to Jeff)... I have to say that while Jeff's outcome was happy, I kept hoping that they'd figure out that he was queer too (I have no idea if there are queer peacocks), but I digress...
I truly loved meeting Marko and especially watching him interact with his grandmother. It was also lovely to see how Heath took Marko's heritage seriously and how he also bonded with Marko's grandmother.
I'm sad that we're leaving the Broken Horn Ranch, but wondering if maybe a spin-off for the other staff member at Marko's tattoo shop would give us a chance to catch up with Heath, Marko and the other guys from the ranch.
