Review: Not Bad, but Not Great

I love contemporary m/m romances, especially those featuring some hot, hot cowboys.  COWBOY EASY, the first of Stormy Glenn's BLAECLEAH BROTHERS series, seemed like it would fit the bill nicely.  I don't regret purchasing it, and I'll probably even get around to reading the other books in the series eventually, but I did have some issues with the story.First off, the story is well-written.  I had no problems with the writing at all.  My main complaint was that, in this day and age, you don't get many people rescuing a stranger from the road, taking him home, and immediately sexing him up with no regards to reality.  You know, reality like "Is the guy an axe murderer?"  Or "How many other guys did he sleep with today?"  It's just not safe, and it's actually pretty ridiculous if you think about it.  My other major complaint actually came after I finished the story and realized that the author planned to make EACH AND EVERY Blaecleah brother (and there are five of them!) gay.  Really?  How unrealistic is that?  Not one straight guy among the bunch, even the one who can't go a full sentence without mentioning the girl he banged recently?These were the issues I had with the story, which other readers might not share.  Like I said, Stormy Glenn can write.  I didn't hate COWBOY EASY, and I even came to care about most of the main characters by the story's end.  But my problems were big enough that I didn't love the story as much as, say, THE TIN STAR and THE BROKEN H by J.L. Langley, who writes some hot yet believable and emotional cowboys.
