Wyoming Territory, 1870

Elijah Carter is afflicted. Most of the townsfolk of South Pass City treat him as a simpleton because he's deaf, but that's not his only problem. Something in Elijah runs contrary to nature and to God. Something that Elijah desperately tries to keep hidden.

Harlan Crane, owner of the Empire saloon, knows Elijah for what he isâ??and for all the ungodly things he wants. But Crane isn't the only one. Grady Mullins desires Elijah too, but unlike Crane, he refuses to push the kid.

When violence shatters Elijah's world, he is caught between two very different men and two devastating urges: revenge, and despair. In a boomtown teetering on the edge of a bust, Elijah must face what it means to be a man in control of his own destiny, and choose a course that might end his life . . . or truly begin it for the very first time.… (mehr)

hmm... I think it's time to admit that although I'm in love with this author's writing style it doesn't make the topics I'm not fond of any better... I'm not a big fan of bdsm or westerns... still I enjoyed the story. and will continue reading the books I have of this author.

but maybe... I won't automatically buy everything she writes (blasfemie! how can I say that?!). ( )

An m/m romance novel set in American West in the 19th century, Sweetwater follows a young man who is Hard of Hearing as he figures out his sexuality and finds someone to love. I enjoyed this one, though I sometimes wondered about the veracity of some of the details in the story. ( )

Every single aspect of this book is excellent, the writing, the characters, the setting, the plot, but I found myself dreading to read it. Being inside Elijah's head was bloody torture. ( )

So yes, this has been me. How do I rate a book so beautifully written and portrayed that at the same time nearly drove me to vomiting during several scenes. It's a difficult position for a reader and reviewer to be in. Lisa Henry created an amazingly heartbreaking character in our sweet Elijah. His deafness, his insecurities and how he values himself pulled me into his world something fierce. Just depicted beautifully.

Personally, this book contains some nono's for me that were very hard for me to take. The scenes between Elijah and Crane especially. Up until 70% these were difficult but never crossed what I consider to be rape...are they hard to read...yes, but they are consensual. At 70% I nearly had to stop. When the word "No" is used...that's rape.

Was this scene necessary...unfortunately, I think it was. I believe it was part of the journey that Elijah was on, so not continuing would not have been fair. Is this a HEA...not on page really but I do see a glimpse of what's to come. It's a long journey ahead for these two as our Grady attempts to "tame" the wildness which is instilled in Elijah. In the end, I am glad I read this. I consumed this in one day and lived to tell the tale. Is it one I will reread...no, but I pushed myself and that for me was important.

So the book gets 5 stars...the reader's personal enjoyment 3 stars...overall a solid 4 star read.

Emotional BR with Elsbeth, Marte, Momo, Marco and Nathan - we were certainly all over the place with our feelings on this one.

If you're considering this book, also check out Sheziss' beautiful review here." ( )
