Blurb
When a relationship with the boss's son goes wrong, and Jefferson Carter is left outed and kicked out of the only place he’s ever lived or worked, he heads to Haven Hills, hoping to find a job and forget all about his old life. What he finds is a gorgeous, sweet, funny and patient man... with a penchant for tricks and manipulation... but in a good way. Of course, he falls for the sexy older man. The thing is, Haven Hills is a small town, and he knows all too well how hard a small town can kick you when you’re down. Could he ever feel comfortable coming out to Byrum? To the town?
Byrum Rodgers knows there is joy to be seen under the dark cloud of gloom that weighs Jefferson down when they first meet, and he makes it his mission to bring it to the surface. He knows it’s a bad idea to bring someone into his home that he is so attracted to and completely inappropriate for, but he can’t just leave the guy hanging in the wind. Their friendship comes easily, and Byrum loves that Jefferson seems to be trusting him more and more with each day that passes, and he’s not surprised at all to find himself in love with the young man.

Acting on their attraction is scary because they both value what they have already, but spending so much time together... something’s got to give.
My Rating - 3.5 Stars!
JD Light's New Tricks, the first book in the Haven Hills series is a steamy boss/employee romance with an age gap.
My favorite quote is "Nobody should have to feel alone, ever." A beautiful thought, if only the world was so kind.
Their story has some good humor, and they are certainly hot together. The writing is quick, the pace is even quicker, and the storyline skims a lot. With just 108 pages, the characters aren't very developed, and I constantly felt like I was missing something from a prior story. But, what was there is sweet and tender. The alternating 1st person pov is well done.
New Tricks is a light hearted, easy read. It's fluffy and doesn't dig very deep. But it's perfect when you're in the mood for a short, fun read.
Jefferson's new in town and is instantly smitten with the older, hot cowboy.
Byrum takes in Jefferson, giving him a place to live and a job as his new ranch hand. The chemistry is there, and they can only fight it so long.
Both men are struggling with their sexuality, making for a fun read. Jefferson's closeted, and his fear of coming out is a large part of who he is. Byrum is an older, closeted man who's just discovering his sexuality, figuring out he's probably pansexual.
