Four O'Clock

by Pepper Espinoza

Johnny Leach has a good life. He's married to a woman he loves, he lives in a quiet frontier town, and he owns a successful saloon. In some ways, it's a better life than he might deserve. He keeps the past firmly behind him. Not because of what he's done, but because of who lurks there. The man he rode with for ten years. A man a part of him still loves.


A man who rides into town one morning without warning.


Brody James is running from his own past. His ultimate goal is South America. He claims he stopped to say goodbye to Johnny. He claims he'll catch the four o'clock train to Galveston. But where Brody James goes, trouble follows. Before four o'clock, Johnny and Elizabeth will find their secure world falling into an uncertain future.

[Mariana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short but good... made me want to know how they made out.

[Becky Condit · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pepper Espinoza writes really good short stories and FOUR O’CLOCK is an example of how it is done. Not only is the book short but the storyline is compressed into just a few short, tension-filled hours. I was reminded of the Gary Cooper movie High Noon with the real-time timeline, the old west setting, and even the title. The major difference, of course, is the erotic element of the hot bisexual and ménage scenes. The urgency and importance of small decisions runs throughout the story keeping you welded to it from start to finish. I recommend this story for anyone who enjoys historical westerns, ménage relationships, and just a good story that you can read fairly quickly.

This a short but very well done old west menage story.
