Recs and Reviews
animal husbandry, by casspeach. sheppard/mckay, nc-17, au. this is a long, wonderfully-written sweet wallowy harlequin challenge in which veterinarian rodney moves to rodeo-rider john's small town.[1]
John's a cowboy and Rodney's the new vet in town. This John is defined by his fierce independence, which in turn is motivated by his determination never to turn into his father. Money issues, intimacy issues, rodeo riding, pride swallowing, and growing up. [2]
Each character is still very much himself. I really liked the interaction between them.[3]
It's a decently long story, 27,000 words, I think, in which John is a guy with a horse and Rodney is the new vet in town. But she does a fantastic job with John especially, and her Rodney is, well Rodney-like. I've reread it a ridiculous number of times, and I love it.[4]
This was written for the Harlequin challenge. Rodney is a vet and John a rodeo cowboy, which sounds weird, and yet it works.[5]
