About this item

Six months ago, Ty Sutherland dropped out of an online sex chat group. It was anonymous. No one knew their real identity. And it was a space where they could finally be themselves. Unfortunately, it was also a space where they fell in love with a woman whose name they promised to forget.

Leslie Brandt would like to forget the online sex chat group she joined on a whim. In real life, she's a successful realtor with a professional image to maintain. She'd never want anyone to know the kinky things she's fantasized about—even if maybe she wishes some of those things could actually happen.

When they bump into each other at an open house, Leslie thinks Ty is simply a vet student who's obsessed with horses and only came to the open house for a free cookie—all of which is true. But when the rest of the truth comes out, neither Leslie nor Ty believes there's a way forward.

Sometimes believing in love is the first step. And sometimes it's all about trusting the stars.

Very much enjoyed this one. Ty and Leslie met online but didn't end well. By chance they meet in person and sparks fly. It was low ansgt with a lot of sex, but they still has their issues but worked through it together. Would recommend.

I was happy to see the MC’s Page and Seren from Over the Moon with You in this one. Ty and Leslie both dropped out of a anonymous online sex chat when things between them got to be too much when Ty wanted to find out who his woman was. Ty is a 1st year vet student and Leslie is a successful Real Estate agent. There is an open house next door and Ty’s cousin Zoe wants to go so Ty tags along. Ty meets the Leslie and realizes who she is and can’t wait to get out of the house. Seren and Leslie have been nest friends forever so when Page’s Mom is in the hospital, she asks Leslie to take care of the baby. Page asks Ty to take care of the farm while their gone so Ty and Leslie meet again, Working the farm together they get to know each other and start a friendship until Ty can’t lie to Seren anymore and tells her who she is. The memories of what they did online brings them closer, and they start living out their fantasies. Leslie finds out Ty is Trans and that intrigues her. Jamie Clevenger writes good intimacy scenes. The scenes were hot and chemistry off the charts but always very attentive to Ty’s wants, needs and boundaries as a Trans guy. Excellent read.

“You’re my forever person.”

Ty and Leslie met in an anonymous online sex group and quickly developed an intense emotional and sexual connection, that is until Leslie abruptly severed all ties when her anonymity was lost after calling Ty from her personal number and all her details popped up.

Now, this all happens before the book starts, I think this is part of why I took a while to connect with them, I kind of feel a little cheated we missed their first meeting and didn’t get to watch their feelings for each other develop for the first time.

After a chance encounter months later, they come together in person. All of their feeling and desires are unleashed and they slip into a very easy sexual relationship, that obviously morphs into something much more as you watch them deal with and overcome their own personal issues from body image to mental health.

I feel I have to mention this. If you’re not hugely interested in horses, you may get a little over all the horsey talk and care, but I for one loved every moment of it. Ty gives Leslie lessons with the horses to help her overcome her fear of them. But IMO, it also solidifies their connection, teaching them trust, patience, communication, and understanding.

Full transparency, I kind of struggled with this one a little. It is a bit slow going for the first 40% ish. Just hang in there, I promise it is worth the wait. I mean come on, it’s a JayClev book ❤️

4.0 out of 5 stars Spicy and low angst with memorable characters.

Ty Sutherland (36) will soon be starting their second year of veterinary school. Leslie Brandt (39) is a workaholic, successful real estate agent. They both connected online in an anonymous sex chat group. Six months ago Ty accidentally learned Leslie’s name and they both dropped out. Ty meets Leslie at an open house and later when they meet again fesses up to their previous connection.

Leslie has a love and fear of horses and Ty offers to help her get comfortable with them. It gives them time to reconnect with each other. Just as Leslie has to earn the horses trust with patience and care she has to do the same with Ty. Identifying as non-binary Ty is still learning to love their body and Leslie is infinity careful with check ins and gentle promptings. Leslie shares her own past issues of depression and the help she received. Everything is discussed in very positive and open ways.

Clevenger always writes good intimacy scenes and this is no exception. Leslie’s best friends are Paige and Seren from the author’s Over the Moon With You (June 2022). It is at their ranch where they are doing the horse training. This book can absolutely be read as a stand alone but I went back thinking I’d glance and see how much Leslie was in the previous book. I enjoy the author so much I ended up reading the entire book again. I like the previous MCs and they appear in this story and I wish they were there a little more especially at the end.

One minor thing, a couple of times there is a suggestion that Leslie lease her friends horse. I wish this was explained. I only know the term because my next door neighbors have horses and teach riding. I don’t think non horse people will understand the meaning or benefit.

This is spicy, low angst romance with solid characters. I thought the more serious topics were handled honestly and with care. And if you are a horse person you’re going to want to add an extra star.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent writing, but not much substance
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2023
The story was an interesting concept, so it drew my attention to this book. The two main characters were ok enough but I found myself getting a little bored and skipping ahead. Not because there was anything wrong with the storytelling, it was just plot-wise not much happened to keep my attention all the way through.

I do want to call out that having a nonbinary character in Ty was a nice change of pace. I don't think there is enough books with nonbinary leads.

There is also a little bit of "kink" but I'd categorize it as more beginner kink, because it's literally a beginner wanting to add in some kink into her sex life for the first time.

Overall not a bad story just not really enough conflict/growth of characters/interesting world...etc. for me to rate it any higher.
