a relatively easy read.

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Alex is a hit man, sent to eliminate a witness for a crime lord. But meeting Bryce makes Alex question everything. Then the pair of them have a target on their backs, and neither man will walk away unscathed.

I liked this, I liked this A LOT.

It's a little bit steamy, a little bit emotional, full of drama, and intrigue, danger and some funny moments too.

I liked that Bryce didn't really question his attraction to Alex, only the timing. Bryce had not come out as bi, and had not done anything with another man either, and his attraction and growing feelings for Alex were solid and he wasn't questioning them too closely. The situation isn't ideal, though!

I liked the way the story flowed, and I loved that both men had a voice.

I liked how this author tells her tales. I can only see one other, a much older book, than this, so I'm not sure how many books this author has written. It's clear she has skill and I would like to read something else. I would LOVE to read books about Alex' brothers, Michael, Luke and Abe and Bryce's brother, Clay. They all play a part here, even minor, but Abe and Clay piqued my interest!

However.

I did find that there were quite a few points that names were not used in the correct manner. For example, at one point, Bryce is speaking, and he says "Look, Bryce, about that . . " and another point, Alex looks into the water, but can see no sign of Alex. Minor points, but enough to make them stand out and for me to notice them, and make the comment about them.

I did enjoy it, though, apart from this point. It was a relatively easy read, that hit quite a few positive buttons.

4 very good stars
