Against the backdrop of twenty half naked models on DD land, and in the midst of fighting the oil establishment that just won't give Riley a chance, Texas Heat is the story of one hot summer in Texas with a Gay Rodeo, humor, angst and a love between two men that just grows stronger every day. Jack hires Robbie, a man recovering from a great loss, to be his right hand man. Meanwhile Riley's mischievous photographer friend, Eli, decides the DD is the perfect backdrop for a cowboy themed model shoot. Eli has secrets not even Riley knows about but despite what he is hiding he falls in lust with Robbie at first sight. Everyone except Robbie can see how perfect Eli would be for him. What happens when secrets spill and lies are discovered? And just how far will Riley and Jack go to play matchmaker?… (más)

Sinceramente? Mi ha un po’ deluso. La storia rimane molto carina e continuo ad adorare la simpatica e dolcissima famiglia Campbell-Hayes ma... mi aspettavo di più. In questo nuovo capitolo compaiono in scena due nuovi personaggi: il migliore amico di Riley e fotografo freelance Eli e il mandriano Robbie, caro amico di Neil (novello sposo di Donna, la madre di Jack). I due sono molto diversi e rappresentano mondi opposti. Eli è un cittadino, un ragazzo sopra le righe e sempre abituato ad ottenere ciò che desidera, ha dovuto lottare contro il cancro e questo lo ha reso ancora più scatenato e deciso ad innamorarsi per davvero e godersi la vita una volta per tutte. Robbie è meno spontaneo, più controllato e desideroso di rimanere nell’ombra. Ha perso il compagno in seguito ad un attacco omofobo nel precedente luogo di lavoro e ora si sente insicuro, timoroso di iniziare qualsiasi nuova relazione che includa sentimenti ed amore. Due personaggi molto complessi che ahimè non riescono a convincere e a spiccare. Questa era la perfetta occasione per spostarsi un po’ dalla coppia principale e dare maggiore spazio ad un’altra storia d’amore e invece per 3/4 del libro abbiamo una mezza parentesi delle solite avventure del cowboy e di suo marito, una parentesi parecchio noiosa rispetto ai libri precedenti e che di fatto non regala nulla di nuovo alla storia. Ne consegue che l’innamoramento tra Robbie ed Eli è fin troppo rapido e male gestito. Mancano momenti di introspezione, di riflessione e... sentimentali. Ho trovato abbastanza affrettato il fatto che si definisca fin da subito innamorato e la reazione di Robbie... mi ha lasciato perplessa. Una storia che sicuramente continuerà nei prossimi capitoli e come sotto trama ma che non mi ha soddisfatto appieno. Stesso discorso per la love story tra Sean e Eden, viene accennata solo nel finale e lascia solo domande e poco più... un’occasione un po’ sprecata. Rimango comunque curiosa di scoprire come i due sposini allargheranno la loro famiglia ( )

Despite a nontraditional start and a few obstacles thrown in their path, Riley and Jack Campbell-Hayes finally seem to have things going right for them. The Jack is expanding the ranch and Riley is working on business ventures of his own. A newcomer to the ranch, Robbie, is still reeling from a loss but happy to be on board and assisting Jack in any way he can. And Riley's photography friend Eli has convinced the guys to let him use the Double D for a cowboy-themed photoshoot. When Eli and Robbie's paths cross, it's lust-at-first-sight for Eli...but Robbie's hesitant to get involved with someone new. As the various business opportunities are pursued all around, it's Eli and Robbie who need to decide what to do about the Texas heat this time around...

I find myself thoroughly enjoying this series--more than I expected I would. With everything that went on in the first book, I was not sure if the author would be able to sustain an interesting story that continues to develop the characters and keep readers interested. But while everything did blow up in the first book, I still find myself along with these guys every step of the way and on every single page. ( )

There was a lot going on in this book and I got to the end slightly unsatisfied with the resolutions. It all felt a little hastily wrapped up, particularly Robbie's sudden turnaround from drifter to settled down and in love cowboy, Riley's business dealings, our introduction to Austin which seemed to have little point to its inclusion in the end, and Eden and Sean's issues.

I love Riley and Jack to death, but didn't get the chance to fall for Robbie and Eli as there was too much going on to allow them to become 'real' for me.

I hope there is a sequel planned that will perhaps expand on some of these plot threads, as well as showing Riley and Jack's journey with surrogacy.
