    4.0 out of 5 stars The Mounting Block was a very quick read!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2020
    I received this book for free from Gay Romance Reviews in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

    The Mounting Block was a very quick read. The chemistry between Dan and Joe was instant. But I felt like it came on way too quickly and they progressed in their relationships really fast. But being a shorter book it was probably necessary.

    The premise of the book it Joe going to house back ridding therapy to help after losing his leg. He did not go there looking for love, but just it happened to be looking for him. The story points out that love can happen anywhere especially when you least expect it.

    Dan believes in the Greek gods, and I really like the part of his character. I have always had an interest in them and seeing as part of the story was a nice surprise for me. Horses play a major role in Greek mythology and it made perfect sense to include in here.

    The Mounting Block is set in the present-day during the COVID-19 epidemic. There mentions of face masks, COVID testing, and checking on temperature when Joe arrived at the ranch. This was another reminder of what we are going through in the real world.

    The entire book took place with the span of a few days. But the romance between Dan and Joe blossoms within two days. The ending was alright for me, nothing too spectacular. But there were draws to how Joe lost his leg and saving the dogs in the rainstorm that flooded the area.

    Overall The Mounting Block is a really quick read. It overs a few sex scenes but nothing too descriptive. This was a fast love romance. But I was easily able to get a sense of who the characters really were.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's just right
    Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020
    Although short, this book packs a lot of real life into it. It is set in our now current life times of the Covid19 pandemic. Those parts of staying safe are dealt with well. The immediate attraction between the main characters, Joe and Dan is very obvious. Dan is unique and helps Joe find his center. In more ways than one. As I said it is short but is interesting so I would recommend this book. “I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.”

    4.0 out of 5 stars Hurt, horses, and healing
    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2020
    I enjoyed this short story of hurt, horses, healing, and love. There is not a lot of background on the MCs, but Joe was injured in a work accident, and he goes to Dan for help with his rehabilitation. Dan introduces him to the power of horse therapy. There is insta-love or at least insta-lust between Joe and Dan, and it's pretty steamy. I found Dan's polytheism to the old gods intriguing, and I chuckled a bit at the offering of a waffle to garner the god's favor. This is a sweet story of finding love after a traumatic injury with someone who sees beyond the physical and helps you realize your own worth. I liked Joe’s healing. He really was a good guy. He and Dan together were sweet and hot. There is a lot of tongue-in-cheek and cheesy flirtation. This is a great story if you like insta-love, but you may be disappointed if you prefer a longer get-to-know-you period.

    I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

    An inspirational story of one man, Dan, helping another, Joe, through horse therapy. Not only physically, but emotionally as well.
    Well written with some angst towards the end.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Short and poignant M/M lust to love...instantly
    Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2020
    This was a witty and at times snarky, in a self-deprecating way, story of Joe who had a calamitous event take his old life away. Now he just plods along taking one day at a time until his physiotherapist suggests he begin equine therapy. There he meets a mountain of a man, Dante Constantine. Whereas their getting together was pretty formulaic, their personalities and beliefs are unique. I can’t tell you the ending but I will say that it made me cry. There were some really great lines like: Joe says, “at this point in my life, I get aroused by Doc Martin commercials.” I’m glad these two men found each other when they did. It proved beneficial! Told in dual points of view. The ending is a page-turner.
    I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through Gay Romance Reviews and it is recommended for readers of M/M romance who like their characters with a little quirkiness.

    4.0 out of 5 stars good story
    Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2020
    Joe’s life has been turned upside down after a terrible accident. He is advised to try horse therapy. Dan is his trainer and gives him a new lease on life. Joe and Dan have an instant attraction and great chemistry. I thought it was great how the author incorporated the Covid pandemic into the story line making the story feel a little more real. It was a short read for me, but I liked it. I’m voluntarily leaving a review form an advanced copy that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.
