Synopsis

Opposites attract in this sexy, slow-burn romance, the next installment in A. M. Arthur’s fan-favorite Clean Slate Ranch series.

Levi Peletier is settled – for now. With his life on the rodeo circuit reined in, he’s content doing trick-riding demos for tourists at Clean Slate Ranch and spending his off-hours with three finicky felines. It’s a life he’s grateful for, one that keeps his heart safe.

George Thompson couldn’t be less like the ruggedly sexy Levi. A onetime figure skating star, he’s hung up his skates to live in introverted anonymity in San Francisco. An effort to shake up his regular routine finds him at Thanksgiving dinner, dude ranch style, and he immediately falls in love with the gorgeous view – the wide-open spaces and big blue sky aren’t bad, either.

The country cowboy and the stay-put city boy strike up an unlikely friendship that blossoms into something more. But getting attached is a bad idea. Because the open road is calling to Levi, and it’s a call George can’t imagine answering. When the past catches up to them, this odd couple will have to decide if a future together is worth fighting for.

A great audiobook and a great addition to the Clean Slate Ranch family.

It’s been nearly a year since I last visited the Clean Slate Ranch and I was delighted to get to visit there again. This is the first time that I’ve listened to one of the books in the series without having read it first. I got an advanced copy of the ebook from NetGalley but life got away from me and I didn’t get a chance to read it before release day. Then I was lucky enough to get a review copy of the audiobook from the publisher on release day so I listened to it instead of reading the ebook.

Regardless of the way that you experience this book I think you’re going to love it. This is definitely one of the sweeter stories in the series. Both of the MCs have been abused in the past so they take things real slow. I love a sexy story but I also enjoy ones that are more of a slow-burn without so much sexy time and this one was great.

We first met the MCs in book 5, Hard Ride, but you don’t need to have read that story to enjoy this one. The blurb really tells you what you need to know about the story so I’ll tell you how it made me feel.

Listening to Greg Boudreaux’s fantastic performance was an emotional experience. This is a bit unusual for me because for some reason audiobooks don’t usually get my emotions as involved with a story as they do when I read. This was not the case for Right Move. I laughed at the antics of the three cute kittens in the book and I cried when George and Levi finally bare their souls to each other. There’s a reason why Greg Boudreaux is beloved by fans of MM audiobooks; he’s fantastic.

I don’t know if there will be more books in this series but I really hope so. I’m not ready to leave the Clean Slate Ranch for good. I almost forgot, fans of A.M. Arthur’s Cost of Repairs, book one in the Cost of Repairs series, will enjoy the “easter egg” she slipped into this story. ❤ 🥰

About Author

A.M. Arthur

A.M. Arthur was born and raised in the same kind of small town that she likes to write about, a stone’s throw from both beach resorts and generational farmland. She’s been creating stories in her head since she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long, in a losing battle to make the fictional voices stop. She credits an early fascination with male friendships (bromance hadn’t been coined yet back then) with her later discovery of and subsequent love affair with m/m romance stories. A.M. Arthur’s work is available from Carina Press, SMP Swerve, and Briggs-King Books.

When not exorcising the voices in her head, she toils away in a retail job that tests her patience and gives her lots of story fodder. She can also be found in her kitchen, pretending she’s an amateur chef and trying to not poison herself or others with her cuisine experiments.
