Wild Horses edition by D River Literature Fiction eBooks
This M/M erotic romance sports a lot of assets:- it has a nice, elaborated, character-driven plot that is always compelling, except perhaps halfway through when Josh meets Julian again. Tension slacks in those pages but it takes off again after a little while. I would have appreciated it if the author had made more use of the work-setting of the characters but the story is complete as it is.
- its characters are exotic enough (musicians and actors) to be more interesting than average people but they are also fully rounded, likeable and make one wish one could meet them in real life (at least I wish I could meet Josh, Corey and Travis, I really do). My only issue is about Josh and Corey being 24 when they clearly need to be closer to 30 to be entirely consistent with their behaviour and thoughts.
- sex scenes are many, raunchy and very sexy. They are very sexy not because they are unbelievably well written (though they ARE well written) but because one always gets the feeling the people involved care deeply for each other and that is sexy in itself.
Reading the blurb and a couple of pages in the first half I worried a little. Authors (especially lady-authors, truth to be told) have this pervasive fetish for dominance and submission. They do like to put their gay characters into tight little boxes, filing some as strong-dominant-active (and usually big and brawny) and others as conflicted-submissive-passive (and usually lean and blond and boyish). Some go so far as to transform erotica into something frankly unhealthy where the need to be dom/sub goes beyond the wall of the bedchamber. A selected few even try to pass on the idea that rape and enslavement are sexy...
At first I thought Mr River was bound to follow that unfortunate path.
There are a couple of pages at the beginning, when Travis debates his own feelings with himself, that had me cringe because he seems to be willing to relinquish control permanently to Corey. I do not know whether the author changed his mind halfway through or had it planned from the start but luckily things change. The BDSM element is relevant and shown explicitly but it remains just that: a kink that is part of the characters' sex life but is not all encompassing. BDSM being just a nice little game, it is sexy to read those kinky scenes.
AND the lovers here are all versatile, thank goodness for (not so) small favours!
- the love story is incredibly satisfying. Travis and Corey fall in love a little too fast and I presume the author could have devised a way to have them get to it more slowly but other than that the whole of it is incredibly heart-warming.
- writing is neat and fluid. The POV shifts between the three leads from chapter to chapter and sometimes the same scene is seen again through different eyes which is not entirely new a device but it can work well if well used.
There are no typos but grammar is faulty at times. Nothing too bad or evident but this work could use a revision which should also take care of a couple of mistakes in characters' names: Corey becomes Cody and Julian Jules. Characters break the fourth wall often which is fine as the author manages to give an individual voice to each. Only here and there the characters describe things they cannot possibly know, for example I remember Travis saying "...my eyes smoldering..." but there are several other examples of this mistake in logic.
That said this is a nice, romantic read I can only recommend. But, please, someone change the model on the cover...

Wild Horses edition by D River Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Maybe it's a holdover from my growing-up years, but I like to read books that tell a story. Even when I read erotica, it's not nearly as arousing when it's random mechanical acts as when it's in the context of an emotion-driven narrative. That is why I love this book. The actions people take make sense, the story makes sense, and there is really hot sex. Seriously. Hottt.
The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars for me is that the point of view switches from time to time, but there's nothing that indicates there's a new person talking. I was confused until I figured out what was happening... but then I got confused again when a third character's POV was added. That's kind of a minor point, though, and shouldn't stop anyone from reading and loving Wild Horses.
This story is not too serious and the sex plot is well written. Though words were repeated more than twice, it was alright. Definitely not an in depth story but worth the fun reading it.
I found this an enjoyable read with a great story line and great sex. My boyfriend also enjoyed the read. It is an unusual take on gay love with a great ending (don't you dare go there first). I'd describe it as good hot reading. I reckon it'd be a very enjoyable read even without the sex, but I love a bit of spice. It's by D Rivers and I have since purchased his "Exiled to Iowa. Send Help". I hope it will be as good and stimulating as Wild Horses. Rivers writes with an amazing twist when you least expect it. He has a number of books on .
Good M/M and then M/M/M erotic romance about the members of a band named "Wild Horses" and a young TV star. There isn't a lot of angst but there is a nice romance and great character development. I would love to see a follow up featuring some of the supporting characters. It's a very enjoyable read and the sex scenes are excellent.
D. River certainly did an excellent job with Wild Horses. It was an engaging, heartwarming and downright kinky love story that really covered all the bases plot-wise! The characters were lovable in their own way, realistic and unique all on their own.
One thing I loved was the constant POV changes, even if at the start of some chapters it took a minute to realize just who was narrating.
All in all I found Wild Horse to be a fantastic read! And with the vague bit at the ending, it leaves room for a sequel, but is fine as it is if the author does not choose to continue.
I downloaded a revised edition of this book, in which the grammatical/spelling errors were supposed to be corrected. I read the book again, and although I enjoyed it just as much the second time through, there was not any real difference in the errors. Maybe there was a problem with the downloaded content??
"Wild Horses" is lean, tightly written, and very sexy; but also very well plotted and replete with the sort of deep emotional content that makes it a very satisfying read. It is one of those gay erotic novels that makes me think about the potential of the whole genre. It is a romance, it is surely erotic; but the three key characters whose story this is are vivid, interesting, and likeable. They are not stereotypes, they are not impossibly perfect; they're real guys, and River brings you into their lives. In the world of fledgling TV actors and up-and-coming rock bands, it's all about performance.
This is not just smut; it is a heartfelt love story with a startling twist that left me hungry to know more about Corey, Travis, and Josh. Indeed, if I had any complaint at all to voice, it's that I would have loved to have more back story about each of the characters and how their past experiences led them to where they ended up. We get beautifully rendered sketches of the three main characters--River is extremely skilled at weaving their personalities into the narrative--but I finished the book wanting to know them even better I wanted finished portraits with all the details.
I know that River has a new book on the say; can't wait to read it.
