Review: Dark Horse

Dark Horse by Kate Sherwood and Peter B. Brooke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dan Wheeler thought he'd found lasting love and stability with his life and work partner, Justin Archer. But when Dan finds himself alone again, still working as a horse trainer for Justin's parents, he has to find a way to accept that his perfect life is gone forever.

Then he meets billionaire Evan Kaminski, who arrives to buy a horse for his younger sister, and Evan's lover Jeff Stevens, a horse trainer who seems to understand more than just Dan's job. Struggling to deal with all the upheavals in his life, Dan finds himself drawn to both Evan's mercurial passion and Jeff's quiet wisdom. 

Book 1 of 2.

 

This gay romance had to grow on me but after several relistens, the audiobook has become a favorite. I like all three protagonists and a few side characters are well-developed. I am not sure about the horse business, but to me, it is a convincing story.
The narrator is no performer. He just reads and uses distinguishable voices, but I would like more drama and emotion to the whole text. Not only in spoken text.
