review 1: This was not particularly memorable, but it was fun to read nonetheless. I have read several books by this author and the MCs tend to follow a pattern - a precocious twink and a big alpha-male - irrespective of the story. Nicky likes to keep house, collects teapots and embroiders. He is desperate to meet his "Mr Right" but seems to settle too easily for "Mr Right Now". This desperation leads him into an abusive relationship. Troy is a cop. When Nicky is made homeless by his ex, Troy takes him in - Troy and Nicky's brother are partners. Nicky immediately declares his love for Troy and promptly makes himself at home. I could not help feeling that Nicky was a bit of an opportunist. Troy, on the other hand, just seemed happy to have someone in his life….cooking and cleaning ... moreup after him.Nicky is exquisite and tiny, whilst Troy is apparently huge….everywhere. I suppose emphasizing the size differences between the MCs was meant to be erotic, but when Nicky proclaimed "It'll never fit!" the first time he saw Troy's package, it all seemed a bit overdone.
review 2: The action/suspense parts of the book were amazing. The rest...not so much.I found Nicky to be so unbelievable. Part of it is my hatred of weak characters. No way did it seem like Nicky was...27 I think?And the 'big bang' shootout was well done...until Nicky fired a shot at his ex WHILE PEOPLE WERE BEHIND THE EX.The story felt like it could have been expanded upon so much, and also that it could have been shortened a lot. The characters went on these long speech/dialogues what were redundant and annoying. Many scenes felt like they were filler just to get the story over 100 pages. But if they were given the time and focus they deserved and the characters had good development, this could have been a full sized book and actually be standable.I need to stop now before I change my mind and give this a 1 star. less
