The Tin Star

RD

I have read this book multiple times and it never stops being absolutely amazing. It grasps you and it's so easy to sympathize with the characters. You cannot help to love Jamie's sweetness and Ethan's strength of character. I would absolutely recommend this book to any and all willing to open their minds to this romantic and yet realistic novel.

EXCELLENT WEEKEND READ!!!

This book grabs you from the first few pages and keeps you interested through the last. Touched in a special way by the storyline and characters. Very well written!!! After finishing this book I just had to purchase the next in this series, The Broken H, which happens to be another excellent read by this author. :)

BEST BOOK EVER!

I couldnt put it down. The writing is wonderful and it is full of romantic and touching moments between the two main characters. The writing is so good and it is just a wonderful story about love and overcoming prejudices.

Bravo!

This was an excellent M/M erotic romance. Cowboys aren't usually my favorite, as they are so overdone. However, Langley manages to make this story fresh. Jamie and Ethan are a good couple, and the problems they face in their relationship, with family, society, and work, are realistic and often sad. The sex is frequent and steamy (explicit) without being repetitive. There are a couple of things in the story that stood out as being particularly well done. First, there is Jamie's older brother's relationship with Ethan. John is straight, and has known Ethan was gay for years--and they are still friends. Holy Moly, Batman! It's nice to see a straight male character that isn't bigoted, or has secret homosexual leanings. John is a well-developed secondary character who takes part in the story. Second, I like the fact that Jamie and Ethan have known each other for years. Since Jamie is 11 years younger, their relationship was necessarily different in the past. This makes their new found emotions more poignant. It's not the typical love at first sight--more like seeing possibiltiies that have been right before your eyes the entire time. Hot sex, touching romance, a plot with some depth--I will definitely read more from this author. Thankfully, The Broken H, the next in this Ranch series, is finally available. And, I love the cover art!

A reviewer

When Jamie told his father and brother that he was gay, he expected yelling and screaming. What he didn't expect was getting thrown off the Quadruple J with no job and no where to go. However, Jamie's brother John and his friend Ethan are supportive and understanding. So Ethan calls Jamie and offers him a place to stay and a job at his ranch, the Tin Star. As soon as Jamie arrives, Ethan starts to see him for the man he has become instead of his best friend's brother.***** Jamie has always had a crush on Ethan and working so closely with him at the ranch is going to be hard when he can't touch him like he wants to. But Jamie is pleasantly surprised when Ethan tells him he is gay too. Things are hard for Jamie the townsfolk and fellow ranch hands don't approve of gay men, and Jamie's own father is the worst of the lot. At the same time Jamie and Ethan start a secret affair, the threats against Jamie are increasing. Now the cowboys have to try and make a life for themselves amongst the danger and prejudice surrounding them.***** Ethan and Jamie have a really comfortable, passionate relationship right from the start. These cowboys had me flushed and panting every time they touched! They are so sexy, yet the chemistry between them is more than just sizzling sex, they are also really romantic. I just adore Ethan and Jamie together. They fit each other like a glove. The Tin Star is a terrific story!*****Reviewed by Nannette for Joyfully Reviewed

Brokeback Mountain happy ending

This was a great book. It had it all, humor, drama, intrigue and romance. It was well written. The many characters stories were interwoven nicely. I got a real feel for the people. There were two reasons I gave it only 4 stars. Firstly, the relationship between the main characters seemed to develop a little too quickly and easily. They just slipped into the relationship with an ease that I found a bit unbelievable. My other problem was the end. It came too abruptly. Too many ends were left untied. What happened to the father? Did the other siblings find out about their younger brother's parentage? These questions weren't answered by the end. I guess that makes a good set up for a sequel, though.

Great!

I put off buying this book for a long time and I really regret having done that. I love The Tin Star. It's a refreshing take on the ole gay cowboy story. Love the characters and the believable plot. My only regret is the somewhat abrupt ending, but that's probably just me lamenting the end of a great story.

Great book!

I loved this story! Cant wait to read more from this author.

Saddle up for a great read!

This was a great gay love story. The characters and their personalities were well flushed out and put together. The ending was especially good! I found it hard to put down at times.

highly Recommended!!!

I read this book in one sitting!! Yes it took several hours but i could not put it down!!! If you like romance this book has it!! If you like gay romance this book is a definate must must read!! It was tender, funny (surprisingly i couldnt stop laughing at certain parts!!), it has adventure and angst. i would recommend this book to anyone. J.L. Langley definately knows her stuff!!!

highly recommend!!!

this is not my first gay story but it is definetely one of the best. Well written with good emotional plot. Characters are well develop. Smoking hot sex scenes! all around a must read.

Hot Cowboys...who can go wrong with that?

I absolutely loved The Tin Star. The writing was good and the plot kept me interested until the very end - which I hated to see coming because I fell for Ethan and Jamie. These two characters were so in love with each other from the moment they met on the page (even if they didn't know it yet!) and we as readers were treated to their boiling desire for one another - in the form of SUPER HOT sex scenes!

I couldn't put this one down because every scene left me wanting more and turning the page to find out what happened. Well done!

This book is Free-kin Hot! LoL...what a find!!!

This is a must read. I read this book last week, just finished the sequel and OMG, what a read. I simply loved it. Great story-line and great chemistry between character. When I look in my nook library I have to smile when I see the cover of this and the sequel...LoL what a find. Both are now included in my favorites of all time! and considering Im really a paranormal romance reader I just have to LoL :-)

What a WONDERFUL Story!

This story will make you laugh, make you cry and also make you very HOTT!!!! I enjoyed this story of the two young cowboys very much! Thanks J.L. Langley!

Love this book

This is one of my favorite books. The love that is shared between Jamie and Ethan is heart warming. This is a must read book if you are looking for a good romance.
