Cowboys Don't Come Out by Tara Lain

Blurb:

Rand McIntyre settles for good enough. He loves his small California ranch, raising horses, and teaching riding to the kids he adores—but having kids of his own and someone to love means coming out, and that would jeopardize everything he’s built. Then, despite his terror of flying, he goes on a holiday to Hana, Hawaii, with his parents and meets the dark and mysterious Kai Kealoha, a genuine Hawaiian cowboy. Rand takes to Kai’s kid brother and sister as much as he drools over Kai, but the guy sports more prickles than a horned toad and more secrets than the exotic land he comes from.

Kai’s earned his privacy and lives to protect his “kids.” He ought to stay away from the big, handsome cowboy for everyone’s sake—but since the guy’s just a haole on a short vacation, how much damage can he do? When all of Kai’s worst fears and Rand’s darkest nightmares come true at once, there’s not much chance for two cowboys who can’t—or won’t—come out.

My review:

m/m

Cowboys Don't Come Out by Tara Lain is a sweet tale of two closeted cowboys finding each other. The story is fun and filled with snippets of information about Hawaiian cowboys. There is terrific scenery and the secondary characters are great. The problem is that although Rand is instantly smitten I don’t feel it from Kai. Kai is more like insta lust. Or maybe his fears get in the way. Whatever it is this story while likeable doesn’t have the flow that I usually get from one of Ms. Lains stories. This isn’t a bad story it just isn’t as fantastic as others I’ve read by this author.
