YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! This was so incredibly perfect! I can’t even stand how much I loved Stick Shift. It was most definitely my favorite in the Big Bull Mechanics series so far!!!!!
I know I love a bi-awakening story, probably more than the next guy, but Journey finally realizing his feelings for Red was

Not bad, but just more of the same old, same old. I think I need to take a break from this author for a bit.

One click! Do it!
Great story, amazing written talent, interesting all through, page turner!
Contains: crushing on his straight friend, best friend to lovers, bi-awakening, demisexual, newly farmers, 40 yr old, vers, hea.
This series is just too great. It starts off slowly with the return of the best friend. He got his uncle's farm in heritage. His friend, Red, is automatically added to the plan. He sells his house and moves in with him. Drastic YES, who move without even have to ask!!! Without giving it all away, Journey will have several torments of emotions, questioning, sexual awakening, etc, etc. Add the fact that he was a travel blogger, and now he has to take care of animals. Lol.
The story is amazing. You get into it immediately, and you don't want to finish it. The author keeps us interested throughout. The pages turn almost themselves. I was not ready to say bye and now I need the next one of the series to hurry.
The only real HIC I had was when they finally decide to pass to the act, you know... in the bed act. The character is OK ouch for a finger when he is topping, and five minutes later, he decides he is a pro and goes from top to bottom in less than 2 minutes for more. I'm not an expert on gay sex, but I thought it was over the top. Take the time to process what you just experienced and then try for more.
But overall, this story is fantastic, I love it. There's a lot of trope that I love in it, and it is always so beautifully written by this amazing author. It's interesting. The characters did panic once or twice but not in a childish way, and they do communicate between themselves like adults. (They act their age, shocking, I know).
SO verdict: 100% recommended. If you are hesitating and you love this kind of tropes, give it a shot, and you will not be deceived.

II was SO freaking excited when this ARC hit. Red and Journey's friendship has been sprinkled here and there, and I was getting real impatient for their book. It did NOT disappoint. One of my favorite things about KM Neuholds books is the lighthearted, natural feel of them. They are always sweet, funny, and sexy as hell. Red, our sweet mechanic, has been in love with his straight best friend since they were teenagers. Journey has spent his adult life as a travel blogger, and when his uncle passes leaving his farm to Journey, he moves back home. With his best friend by his side, they learn the ins and outs of an alpaca farm, with the "help" from a very needy mini highland cow and very judgemental one-eyed cat. It doesn't take long for Journey to relealize why Red has always felt like home to him. I absolutely adored this couple.

Sweet and sexy and all the things I wanted
This was exactly what I wantes.it was sweet and funny with sexy fun. I can't even begin to explain how much I loved Red and Journey and everything about this story. Their friendship was incredible to read and I love me some big awakening stories. Thus hit the spot and will forever be on my life of favorites re-reads. Another home run in this series. Can't wait to see which Big Bill Man gets a book next. Every book in this series proves why it should be an instant preorder.

This book is wonderful! I loved this couple and their story. This isn't your typical M/M. Red and Journey have been life long best friends. Red has been in love with Journey forever and accepted his fate of not having a romantic relationship with him. Life throws them a curve ball and Journey then sees Red differently. It's beautifully written and you won't be disappointed

This is the third in the Big Bull mechanics series, and follows another of the group which we met in the first two books, Red, and his supposedly straight best friend Journey. Journey lives up to his name, travelling the world for his blog and is rarely back in the same country as Red, until he inherits a farm from his Uncle and decides to stay and run it.
I took a bit to warm up to these two, at first I thought it wasn't really that healthy of a relationship, a bit co-dependent when Red immediately dropped everything he'd built in the years since Journey left to go and help him with the farm, and I thought Journey was taking advantage of Red. I still think it's maybe a little of that but these two truly were soul mates, and I think they always would have been even if they never became romantically linked. Journey's self-discovery of his sexuality was such a nice slow reveal, and I loved the development of that part of his relationship with Red. I was also happy Red finally got what he'd always wanted, and that there wasn't too much pining and angst, it was all open and healthy and just so damn fluffy, I loved it.
I loved seeing the Big Bull and Four Bears guys again, Stone is always welcome as a cameo. I am so loving this series and can't wait for the next. Riggs and Shep, and Auggie and Henry, please and thank you.
I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
