Book Review: The Broken H

Title: The Broken H
Author: J.L. Lanley
Published: 2007, Loose Id.
Rating: 4/5

Shane Cortez has lived on the Broken H since he was rejected by his own family for being gay. Taken in by the Hunters, they raise the teenager as their own son and give him a job. He is also the reason the Hunters' biological son doesn't come around much.

Grayson Hunter is Shane's junior by 13 years and growing up worshiped the ground Shane walked on. When he tried to confess his feelings to Shane when he was 17, the rejection hurt him too much. So much, he left home and went on to become a cop. Now, he serves as Sheriff to their county. Even though he lives in the same town, he barely ever goes home to see his parents in order to avoid seeing the man who broke his heart.

A sudden tragedy forces the two men back together. How will they handle this reunion and the emotions both of them can no longer deny? Will the truth hurt or heal them?

This book is a pleasant M/M erotic novel. As a romantic smut book, the plot is not too complicated. There is a certain lack of story in the story. Still, the the characters are realistic and the dialogue well done. The sex scenes are very explicit in detail but do seem to consume too much of the book towards the end. However, isn't that what smut books are all about?
