3.5 RELUCTANT STARSYou know, this book had the tropes I normally enjoy. MM, in the closet, emotionally damaged MC, COWBOY. Unfortunately, it was a little long and drawn out.The story is about a thirty-something year old cowboy, Speed Ball (Jeffe ) Malloy, man that was a foster child when he came to the Jenkin’s family and ranch, the J-Bar. He was constantly putting the pressure on himself to live his life with the same values that the head of the family, Crandall, taught him. He was surprised to find that he was attracted to the new help, Crispin. Although he had a college degree, the author made him a bit slow and dumb, in my opinion.Crispin was around 23 years old, and lived his life out and proud. He came to the J-Bar during a time that the Jenkins family was gone on a month-long vacation during the winter they took every year. The author was all over the place with Crispin. One moment he’s twinky and the next he’s angry and the next he’s sexy and sweet and then he’s dominant. I had a very hard time relating to him.This really would have only been a three star book for me except for the last 10% of the book. That’s when the author finally was able to portray some depth and real emotion to the story. The thing that kept me going - the hot sex. This is a sweet read, so the HEA lovers will probably enjoy this.
