Spencer Quinn has an image to uphold. His family name means more than anything. It’s the reason the reason they've become the most successful stock contractor on the rodeo circuit. Fresh out of school, he’s ready to take over the family business. It’s no secret he’s attracted to men, and so far that hasn’t been a problem.
Until Evan.
The assertive friend who knows how to push every one of his buttons.
Evan Taylor is known for his love ‘em and leave ‘em style, yet the last few months have left him deflated and lonely. His father's shadow wasn't where he wanted to end up, but he's having trouble finding happiness. Maybe because women can't keep his attention. He’s losing hope of settling down until a blast from the past saunters by, his heart catches and tingles spread over his skin.
Of all people, Spencer. The one person who would never give Evan a second glance. It’s just his luck.
The old saying, “Bad luck is better than none at all” fits Evan perfectly. Or does it? Is his bad luck about to change? Will Spencer Quinn be a good luck charm instead?

Evan's a womanizer, always taking advantage of the buckle bunnies hanging around the rodeo. It's his birthday, and he's decided he wants to change. He doesn't want to end up like his father, whom he hates. He sets his sights on his best friend's little brother, Spencer. Spencer despises Evan and everything he stands for, but when Evan lays a kiss on him he can't deny he's attracted to Evan.
I loved the premise of this book, and the blurb made me want to dig right in, but the execution didn't work for me. While the writing was good, the story moved too fast and didn't feel realistic. I wish the author had stretched the out the courting/getting to know one another portion of the story, so it would have felt more like a natural progression, and not so rushed.
Truthfully, neither of the main characters were all that likable, and the author didn't redeem them enough to make me like them. This was a fast-paced and steamy story, with a gorgeous cover, that just need to be fleshed out a bit.
Even though I didn't enjoy it, doesn't mean others won't.
