Why this must be read: 
 
Yeah, I am a die hard slasher.  Yeah, this story is het.  Yeah, it has an original female character.  But you know what? This story?  Well, it gets it right.

Everyone knows Buck loves women, and his friends often tease him about his so called "animal magnetism".  In this well written story we see why the women find it so easy to love our favorite scoundrel.   Crafted into the story are quick glimpses of the friendship that exists between Chris and Buck, a friendship that has managed to survive both time and tragedy.

There were a great many things that Buck Wilmington would rather be doing than going for a prisoner pickup. Most of them involved cold beer, a friendly turn of the cards, and maybe a warm pair of arms, to stave off the growing bite of Autumn. However, the chance for a leisurely ride with his oldest friend, Chris Larabee, on an afternoon that really was not at all bad, soon outweighed any dissatisfaction. The desert sky arched overhead in clear, cobalt blue, and the rhythmic jolt of a good horse's gait rocked beneath him. Burly white clouds billowed behind distant peaks, and the brisk kiss of newborn October brought the blood to a man's cheek. It really didn't get much better than this.
