Can love warm the hearts of two enemies facing the wrath of a Wyoming winter storm?
Kyle Abbott is slowly discovering that being midway through his thirties and being married to your job isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. There has to be more to life than random hookups, horses, and cattle. If only he could find a person who excites and ignites his passions like everyone else has at Blue Ice Ranch, he’d be a happy man. He hopes. Confused about his life, he volunteers to spend a month out with the cattle to sort through his bewilderment. Knowing there’s a blizzard on the horizon, Kyle sets out fully prepared and ready for anything.
Anything except the unexpected arrival of rival rancher Shep McCrary. When the half-frozen man shows up at the remote cabin where Kyle has hunkered down with the herd, his conscience demands for him to allow Shep to come inside. Offering food and warmth to another human being is the least he can do, right? Even if the man is a swaggering, hateful jerk who’s far too pretty for his own good and knows it. When the two are forced to spend time together, Kyle begins to see that there is more to Shep than he ever imagined. He might actually kind of like the pompous creep at times. Whoever said there was a fine line between love and hate sure knew what they were talking about…
Dusk’s Devotion is the final book in the Blue Ice MM contemporary western romance trilogy with enemies-to-lovers, a blizzard, lots of forced proximity, family dynamics, suspense, a mystery solved, and a happy ever after.

My favorite of the series!
This is a series that needs to be read in order for best enjoyment. Dusk’s Devotion is the final book in the series and boy it was a great one. It has V.L. Locey’s trademark wit, snark and great metaphors along with suspense and more than a few surprises.
The mystery that started in book one is finally solved and I sure didn’t see it coming. I also didn’t ever think that anyone at the Blue Ice Ranch would become friendly with one of the McCrary’s. While Kyle is away from the ranch tending to the cattle, staying in a cabin with only basic accommodations, he lets a half-frozen man inside during a storm. He is shocked to find that man is Shep McCrary.
I don’t want to give away too many details but I will say that all is not as it seems with Shep. While hunkering down during the storm Kyle and Shep forge a bond that will surprise everyone and cause more than a little upset for the folks at Blue Ice Ranch.
This series has closed with a bang, in more ways than one, and I loved everything about this book!

GLBTQ Romance5 STARS!!! This isn’t a romance about chiseled, lantern-jawed college kids boasting V-cut abs. There are no marathon steamy sex sessions, not without having at least one nebulizer on standby anyway.
