Sasha Distan has 64 stories on site, many of which I could recommend, but my favorite is Cowboy Summer!  The teenage Rhydian loves horses and is from the UK and spends a summer in the American west and it is a story I became totally immersed in and couldn't wait for the next chapter.  It was posted in 2013 and is complete and you don't have to wait.  Read, comment and enjoy!

This is a great story about Rhyder Markey finding his way in life, experiencing love and finding a boyfriend, but it's about more than that. It's also about the bond and connection, dare I call it love? between a man and his horse. I've loved reading it and will read it again, a recommended read.

Cowboy Summer is a wonderful story about a English boy who becomes an adult cowboy over summer vacation. It is a beautifully written story that is compelling. You will love all the characters in this novel as they are very easy to love.  Horses and rodeos make this a good read, but the author has created a great read.  

Response from the author:

thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it.

Another wonderful story from Sasha Distan. Young love. Young lust. A lost little boy discovers first a connection and then love and a deeper connection with a good horse, and soon another boy. He grows into an interesting and lovable adult. Interference from a controlling mother only reinforces his choices.
