I was a fan of the previous Tucker Springs books, but this one just fell a bit short. It was a bit on the slow side for me. Also, I love animals, but horses, riding, and all the terms that goes along with it are not my particular cup of tea. But the love story between Ryan and Nathan was very sweet. I look forward to the next book in this series. Until this novel, the Tucker Springs gay romances have been hard-hitting, gritty explorations of love between two very different guys who must work through some pretty heavy differences in order to find a workable middle. Covet Thy Neighbor saw an atheist tattoo artist and a devout minister fall in love while Dirty Laundry found a reclusive entomology grad student and a bar bouncer become close. Given its predecessors, After the Fall is a fairly bland addition to the series. Equestrian Nathan and rolling stone Ryan literally crash when Ryan turns his motorcycle onto a bridal path while Nathan is riding his new horse. Consequently, Nathan's horse falls on him, and Nathan is laid up with a broken leg and hand for twelve weeks. Because Ryan feels so badly about the accident, he agrees to exercise Nathan's horse while Nathan can't ride her. The horse and the accident bring the two men together. No grittiness or awkward problems there. Accidents happen. If both Nathan and Ryan were other than dull guys, this story might have been more than a predictable, mild-mannered love story. But they're not. Nathan has commitment issues because his last two relationships flared, then died, and he felt hurt when he didn't see the end coming. As Witt writes his past, what he suffers from isn't the death of love, but disappointment in the squelching of hope. His are the relationships formed in high school that seem monumental at the time, but are hardly remembered later. Nathan, however, likes to wallow in his disappointment. Ryan isn't the best person to pin hopes on, as Nathan immediately recognizes, since Ryan tells him that he doesn't usually stay in one place for longer than a few months. In fact, Ryan has lined up a job for the fall, so when he agrees to exercise Nathan's horse all summer, he's committing for a little longer than usual. Neither guy really knows what commitment or love mean, much less what a relationship might entail.

HTML: After years of saving every penny, Nathan has finally managed to buy Tsarina, the horse of his dreams, and he's looking forward to a summer of exploring the mountains above Tucker Springs with her. But on their very first ride, a motorcyclist makes a wrong turn, scaring the mare into bolting and leaving Nathan with a broken leg, a broken hand, and a ruined summer. Ryan is a loner and a nomad, content with working odd jobs before moving on to the next town. Feeling guilty for causing the accident that leaves Nathan in two casts, Ryan offers to keep Tsarina exercised until Nathan heals.A tentative friendship forms, and a strong attraction grows. Nathan doesn't want feelings getting involved, though. Not after a couple of nasty breakups and especially knowing that Ryan doesn't stay in one placeâ??or relationshipâ??for long. It's only a matter of time before Ryan drifts out of Tucker Springs and out of Nathan's world. But since when do feelings ever listen to reason? Now it's Nathan who's about to shy away, unless Ryan can ease his fears... assuming Ryan doesn't bolt first.

I have not read all of the Tucker Springs series yet, so I know for a fact that you do not need to have read all of them to understand this book. There are a few characters in this book from the other books in the series, but they are merely mentioned and very minor. The blurb is perfectly accurate so you know exactly what you are getting yourself into.
As long as you prepare for a slow start and sex at the 60% point, I do believe M/M romance fans will enjoy this book, so I can certainly recommend this one. ( )
