Review: Johnny Sapphire is a drifter and has gotten the reputation of fastest gun though he isn’t a gunman. Moses Star is a gambler and gunfighter. He has to be able to use a gun since he is part black and part Cherokee and both man share the same secret sexual desires.
I really liked this story. Lately I have found myself drawn to westerns set in the old west. I like the taboo of men that are different but dare to be themselves or find themselves in a time when sexual issues were dealt with very seriously. This one deals with sexual, racial and social prejudice in a compelling way. I found the storyline interesting, the characters interesting and the sex HOT! I would love to see what comes next for these two men. Lots of potential!
I recommend this if you like old west- western, gunfighters, gamblers, mixed racial stories, cowboys and hot mansex.
