S.E.X. Review~ Red Dirt Heart 2 by N.R. Walker

Up until Travis arrived on his doorstep, Charlie had lived a very solitary life. He had surrounded himself with isolation; a couple million acres of red dirt, scorching sun and loneliness.

Six months on, winter has settled over the desert, and Charlie has the life he never dreamed possible. But living and working together, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, for six months straight starts to take its toll.

Charlie is a stubborn, stubborn man, who tends to have more conversations in his head than what comes out his mouth, whereas Travis has no problem saying what’s on his mind. And even as they both struggle to communicate, struggle to make sense of need versus want, Charlie can see that he’s pushing Travis away - yet seems helpless to stop it.

When it all boils down to whether Travis should stay or go, maybe the decision won’t be theirs to make.

Red Dirt Heart 2 by N.R. Walker further told the story of Australian Charlie Sutton and American Travis Craig. In book one, Travis arrived as an agronomy student to study and learn about the practices of ranching in the Outback, only to stay and fall in love with Charlie. Charlie may be gay and out to a select few, but not to others, who could potentially hurt his ranch business.

Whether it was running the spread, admitting to “the world” that you are gay, a Visa that was about the expire~ RDH2 took the reader on an emotional roller coaster.

I adored Charlie and Travis and the yin to the yang was perfect. The men complemented each other both in pleasure and work. Life at Sutton Station was difficult, isolated, and lonely, yet Charlie attempted to make their home and place where friendship and family was abounded; first he needed to resolve plaguing demons, so that he could come out better on the other end.

Ms. Walker always draws her readers into the story and makes them feel a part of the surrounding areas, and a part of the characters lives, an extended family. A lesson in life in the Outback, the closest commerce town, and the conventions that were followed flowed through the book as a history lesson allowing the reader to immerse in the experience and total package.

Charlie’s stubbornness radiated through Ms. Walker’s hand, and she allowed him to drive her words. Travis’s large heart shined throughout from Charlie to strays. Uplifting moments made me chuckle and I knew all would end well.

I look forward to reading RHD 3 and the further enchanting story of Sutton Station.

Definite S.E.X.
