    Lisa Worrall

    I live in Leigh on Sea, a small seaside town just outside London on the coast of Essex, about ten minutes from Southend, which boasts the longest pier in the world. I live with my partner and two ever-growing children, who I let think are the boss of me; along with a dog who actually is. As the wonderful Beatrix Potter said, "There is something delicious about writing the first words of a new story. You never quite know where they'll take you." I know exactly what she means and hope you'll join me for the ride.

      I loved this one. I couldn't put it down. Adding this one to my favorites list, and will definitely be reading it again some time in the future.
    • 5/5
      I just, I'm not, I don't even know what to say. I'm going to write the review for the book up until the epilogue first:

      This was exactly what I was looking for: a good cop story, with intense love, danger, a killer who really wasn't obvious until the end (even though I thought it fairly predictable, I wasn't sure at all who the killer was). The pace was excellent, I couldn't put the book down. Usually I'm checking regularly to see how much longer a book was, but I pretty much forgot to even check as I read.

      There were a few tropes that annoy me, like how fast the trial happens and is over, the overly touchy-feely gay men, the ease with which they get into and are accepted by the community, how easy it is to just buy a house and move in a week after you're accepted and it's fully furnished, etc. But I accept the creative license with these.

      The characters were mostly interesting and not black and white for the most part. Brent was actually complicated and interesting. There were two women who were important and strong and smart. I loved them. The captain was grumpy but he was also a great guy and not hiding it. I really hate the trope of the angry police captain with the heart of gold. This wasn't like that.

      The two guys were really sweet and cute, and while they were both blinder than an eyeless shrimp, their misinterpretations do make sense most of the time. I really like that it's two closeted gay guys and not the GFY, which I hate. Plus, the sex was really hot.

      There's lot of action and enough danger and intrigue that it worked for me, and I'm pretty demanding, sick fuck that I am. I was going to rate it 4.5 stars plus one because the author got that the expression is "if you think such and such, you have another think coming." Most people get that wrong and it's a huge pet peeve of mine, so kudos to her.

      THEN I read the epilogue which just pissed me off. There better be a sequel and this not like some horrible horror novel that leaves you hanging just to keep you scared. The only good thing about it is that it cleared up a plot hole: One of the characters is seen to have horrible bruising on his lower back but it's never addressed again. I'm sure that's who's being talked about. But it doesn't make any sense because the bad guy kept saying that the victim was the only one.

      So as not to scare you, I'll tell you that the epilogue doesn't have anything to do with the MC's romance.

      So now I'm thinking of rounding my 4.5 stars down because of that. But then I think that if I knew for sure there would be a sequel, I wouldn't round it down. So I'm going to be nice and keep it rounded up to five stars.
    • 5/5
      This is a book I've put off reading for some time because I thought it contained a cliff hanger ending. However this isn't the case... there's more of a "there's more to come" feel, rather than an open ending or cliff hanger.

      I loved the relationship between these guys in all the different stages. The annoyance, humour, care, angst was all very well handled and written. Just the way I love it.

      The one thing that made this a stand-out read though, and what elevated it in my opinion at least, was the fact that the "who-dun-it" part of the story was extremely well done. I honestly didn't know who it was, until it was revealed in the book. And let me tell you, that's not an easy thing to do! So, very well done, Lisa.

      Having said that there's not an open ending, I'm still glad that I have the next book waiting to go immediately. I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to Will or Scott just yet.

      I was disappointed in this one. Don't get me wrong, the murder mystery stuff was interesting, BUT it was missing the sexual tension that made the first one so good. I'm always leery of these types of books because they typically go one of two ways: 1. the mystery part is ignored in favor of all of the romance, and then it has to be wrapped up so quickly it becomes a bit ridiculous, or 2. the romance is ignored in favor of the mystery. This one did have some romance, but it just wasn't what I was expecting based on how great everything was in the first book.
