Michael moves to a small town in NSW to get away from his life and to get away from easy access to things that will derail his career. He plans to just keep his head down and let the country life settle him while he works as a vet for the local office. In the course of doing his job, he meets a local, Ryan, who makes it clear, eventually, that he is interested. Michael feels as though his previous lifestyle isn’t far enough behind him to be making big life decisions, but Ryan is so understanding that Michael might end up taking a chance that will give him much happiness.
I enjoyed this. There weren’t any huge moments or big, dramatic events, just what normally happens in a relationship while people are getting to know one another when they have baggage. I felt that the farming and animal aspects of the story were spot on. I cringed at the description of Michael preg checking the cows, because it’s as horrid as it sounds if it’s done manually, and a lot of vets still do it that way, since other methods can often be faulty. I liked Michael’s sister and kids, and how she supported his decision without knowing his whole story.

3.5 Stars but bumped up to 4 because I liked it enough to want to read the sequel [b:Rust Red: Galvanized|12740330|Rust Red Galvanized|Meredith Shayne|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1317172950s/12740330.jpg|17879117].

The story and characters were good but, at only 23 pages on my e-reader, the story was just too short to really build a plot and to flesh out the 2 MCs.

Fun short story about two rock stars in opposing camps. Language and attitudes fit the situation, and from reading the first few paragraphs it becomes clear that Dave and Zeke hate each other's guts. Except – and this is where the story gets interesting, there seems to be a ton of magnetism between them and while it tends to explode into animosity, there is also potential for something else.

Dave is delightfully straightforward, hates glamour and glitz, and believes music should stand on its own, without all the "show-y" stuff. Dave has "hated" Zeke and his band for two years, ad when they finally meet during a tour, the results are explosive – in more than one way. Dave is powerfully built, and his manager and band mates have a hard time holding him back each time there is a physical confrontation.

Zeke is the total opposite of Dave, from the clothes he wears to the music he plays and the makeup he cannot seem to do without. He is tall and thin, and Dave almost doesn’t recognize him when he turns up without his "costume".

The passion between the two is explosive, and from reading this short introduction, it seems to me as if there could be more. If you like short stories with main characters who clash and fight, only to find out there may be a more entertaining way to pass the time, if you enjoy reading about rock stars and their bands, and if you’re looking for a short, hot story with a lot of promise for more, you will probably like this one.
