Review: not as intense as I wanted it to be

I thought a book about a closted small town southern cop would have more smouldering heat to it,  but this book because blatantly sexual pretty quickly.  I didn't actually have a clear picture of Rich,  who was 35,  repressed, in love with Dan.  And Dan,  the eternal ladies man who never finds any woman perfect enough for him,  well that pressed a few of my buttons too!  Both these men felt younger than their age to me. And the evil ex girlfriend was such a caricature,  she was just a plot device,  not  human at all.  In fact the most adult person was Jeremy,  Rich's not so ex,  who was mature and quite lovely and I hope good things happen to him!So I will read Shayla Kersten again,  but I would like it if her heros acted truer to their age,  these boys felt like they were in their mid to late 20's,  frankly I think figuring out you are gay at 34 shows a real lack of insight!
