Unbreak My Heart
This was a good, slow building, hurt/comfort romance. Brett is still torn by grief for the lover he lost years ago. He has withdrawn to his ranch and is really just going through the motions and self-medicating with booze. Thanks to his meddling mother, the younger JT arrives at the ranch, seemingly lost and a bit broken, but ready to work until he feels the need to move on. What follows is a slow building friendship and attraction as JT, with the help of the ranch foreman Ray, starts to bring Brett out of his shell. Bits and pieces of the story behind Brett's inability to move on from his grief are dropped along the way as the sexual tension builds. While the pace was sometimes a bit slow for me, the overall result was an enjoyable romance with just the right amount of angst.
