Rick Beck does not write fluffy bunny stories. At times, they are gritty and very realistic. Yet they are always about love. Many of his stories are about the struggles we gay folk have had in times past. Rick is a terrific writer and knows how to pull your emotional strings.
For a gay trucker who picks up hitch hikers, the one thing you didn't want to do was to get too involved with one of your boys. They can make good lumpers but most just want to get from one place to another. If you get involved, it can lead to places you don't want to go. Those were Joe Buck's rules... Until Nick showed up.
