Light as Air: Steamy LBGTQ+ Friends to Lovers Storm Chasers Western Romance

Full circle, that is what this book was, the epilogue matches the prologue from the first book, and made me smile for a peek with the family we've followed for so long Now, for the story of Doug, this pulled a few tears right from the start. When we last saw Doug, he was a pre-teen set on the rodeo. Now, he is a storm chaser, so we find out why right away. Then we learn about his best friend, TJ. TJ will break your heart, and Doug will give you hope. We add in Rosa, yes, we are getting our Compton menage, and it is perfect. Rosa is a scientist, a doctor, and she is who is the real storm chaser. Doug tapes, Rosa chases, and TJ is along for the ride this time Rosa has kept to herself all her life. Between being the only girl with six brothers, working in her families restaurant, and burying herself in her studies, she resisted Doug's advances. A slight health scare has her ready to step up, but TJ adds to the mix. Doug and Rosa know each other well, and he is ready once he sees the change in her, but convincing TJ takes a bit. TJ hasn't had the best life, and letting that go to live his own takes some change in thoughts for him Hopeful and sexy, these three were the perfect way to close off the Comptons story!

Two yummy cowboys and one sexy storm chaser add up to an intense, fast-paced romance! Doug has been after Rosalia for years, but she's always putting him off. Doug finally gets the chance to bring his best friend, TJ, along for the storm-chasing season, and having TJ's support finally gives Doug the courage to push Rosie into seeing the possibilities and taking a risk with him. But neither of them wants to leave TJ out, either, launching all three into an intense love story filled with surprises and plenty of sheet-clenching fun. There are darker issues at play here as well, especially with TJ's family and how it contrasts with Doug's family. Rosalia is a wonderfully strong character, full of the kind of love that brings healing and acceptance. I really enjoyed this unusual romance, and was very satisfied with the HEA. The epilogue didn't mean as much to me since I haven't read any of the previous books in this series, but it does wrap things up nicely for all the characters of the Compass series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This is the final book in the Compass Boys series, but the first one that I have read. While there is mention of previous "couples" in the series, this book can be enjoyed without having read the other books. The only thing that you have to know about the previous characters is that they are all involved in non-traditional relationships. Since Doug is part of a family where non-traditional is sort of the norm, it came as no surprise to him that he had feelings for both his best friend, TJ, and his boss, Rosalia. This was a menage romance that involved all parties, meaning it wasn't just about Rosalia. Enjoyable story that not only dealt with TJ's difficult past while still focusing on the romance between TJ, Doug and Rosalia.
