    About this ebook

    Sequel to Attachment Strings
    A Jeff Woods Mystery

    When he was outed on the local news, Jeff Woods gave up his dream job as a detective to become an on-air radio personality. The sacrifice was worth it to keep Alex and Sean in his life, but Alex lost his job, too. Jeff can tell Alex worries he’s pressuring Jeff too much, first with Sean and now the lack of money, but he has no idea what that will lead Alex to do. Desperate times bring out the stupidity in some people, and when Jeff discovers Alex is in over his head in a situation he can’t handle, he needs all his self-control to stay calm.

    Life is not easy with the Church of Virtue still spouting venom wherever they go, homophobes at the police department, a gangster who wants Alex in the worst possible way, and a bed that barely holds one grown man, much less two (and a child), but Jeff is there to stay for good, and he’ll do what it takes to make Alex believe him.

      *This review will be word-for-word as that contained within the Collection - Jeff Woods Mysteries*

      This one will be quick.

      Grammar wise, there were no issues that I could see. Not even a repeated action, like in the first story. The only things I spotted were a few mistaken word usages and a few sayings written out in a strange way. The plot made sense, there were no plot holes and the characters didn't wildly deviate from the personalities displayed in book 1. All of these are great things.

      Thankfully, Jeff's personality took a major sky rocket in this one. Gone were the horrible displays of prejudice against disabled children, thanks to his growing relationship with Sean. Similarly, Parker vastly improved, thanks to David's influence and, although Alex became a little more clingy and cried more than usual, he was still the best character of the bunch.

      This story also had more consistency, with equal parts action and romance. The case was a little more complex, but I still knew who did it much earlier than I should have. I can't say whether that's because it was as obvious as the case in book 1 or that I'm a big crime fan, so I notice the signs better.

      The only plot aspect that irritated me was the constant bickering between Jeff and Alex. There was a lot of it in book 1, but that amplified in this one. As did the many sex scenes. Their relationship was in more turmoil now than in book 1, when they were fighting their attraction for one another. I don't think it made as much sense, in this book, as all of the issues could have been solved easily by just talking about them and being smart.

      Other than that, I can't say much without ruining the plot, so I'll leave it at this – the romance wasn't as heavy, the action and crime was more equal and the characters were just as good as the previous story.
