Out of the Shadow

By Carol Lynne

When Shepard Black left the rodeo circuit, he thought his days of lusting after young cowboys were over. Now owner of the Backbreaker Ranch, Shep raises meanspirited bulls like the ones that used to toss him around the arena. It's a challenge, but he never imagined his best friend's son, Jeremy, would prove to be his toughest one yet. Watching Jeremy's long legs wrap around a bucking bull gives Shep too many ideas for comfort. Even worse, Jeremy seems to know exactly the affect he's having on his boss and teacher.

When Jeremy asks Shep to help him train for the upcoming Cattle Valley Rodeo Days, he has two goals in mind. To spend time with the man he's lusted after since he was a teenager and to beat his father. He's been through hell as the son of the reigning National Champion, and he wants his dad to have a taste of his own medicine. He might just get a taste of what he's longed for all this time, too.

Reviews for Out of the Shadow

[vampiregoth28 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

While I didn't see the age difference as a big deal, I did have some issue at the start of the book when Shep called Jeremy a kid. I was thinking not legal yet aged kid. But 22 isn't really that young (or was he 21? anyway) If Shep had helped raise Jeremy, I would have had an issue with it, but that wasn't the case. I didn't want Jeremy to forgive Todd, since some things aren't really easy to forgive and Todd telling Jeremy that he'd done good wasn't enough to forgive him for breaking his son's ribs, and that's not even including how rude he was.
