His broken bones could finally mend their broken bond…
Bull riding was the only thing that calmed the thrill-seeking, self-destructive beast inside of Calvin Craig. It allowed him to escape a small-minded town and the pain of his troubled youth, fleeing to bright lights and big city fame without looking back.
One trip on the horns of the wrong bull changed everything.
Cal is forced to come crawling back home for the first time in ten years, his body broken and riding days behind him. But not everyone is happy for the return of their local celebrity.
Eli Jackson was once the tall, dark, and sinful preacher’s son who had Cal wrapped around his little finger. Now the steely-eyed sheriff of Sweetwater, Eli is hell bent on running him right back out of town. He’s never forgiven Cal for the spectacular implosion of their relationship. Even though the lingering tension soon has them burning up the sheets, he refuses to be tamed.
Cal is surprised to find himself rising to a new challenge: breaking the bull that is Eli Jackson.
He might have run out of luck, but he’s not out of miracles… yet.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!
Calvin and Eli were once together, but now, after years of no communication, Calvin is back home after an injury. Their reunion is one with regrets and bitterness.
This is a story with plenty of emotional moments, as Calvin has some relationships to mend. His road to forgiveness from Eli is a long one, as there's lots of resentment to overcome. Calvin also has to deal with the mess that happened with his sister when he left town. In addition, I love the moments with Eli's father. The angst is all well done, drawing me in hook, line, and sinker.
Calvin and Eli make for a fantastic couple. Their love was strong when they were young. With many glimpses into the past, their past fully comes alive.
The style worked well for me, keeping me invested throughout. The characters. The storyline. Everything comes together wonderfully to make a great read.
Down Low is a fabulous romance. Parker St John entertains throughout this enemies to lovers tale. I was riveted throughout as the men worked to put their past behind themselves.
