I kinda LOVED this book.

So the other two books in this series #1 and #3 were probably in the first 20 books I read in this genre...A LONG TIME A-GO, I loved them too much, and had saved this one in my pocket for later enjoyment.

I'm glad I did, because this book it TOTALLY different from the other two, and honestly reading it between the others ones, I think would have hurt my ability to love it as much as I did. This was a funny, sweet and sexy love story, about two men looking for a little more out of life than they had settled for. They wanted a little more love, more purpose.

Jim Shea is about to turn 45, he's been a police officer for over 20 years, and is wrapping up the hardest case of his career. This one really broke his heart. A family destroyed, and the man responsible got away with murder.

Griffin Drake is a screenwriter, not exactly writing movies that change lives, but he is successful. He wants to change that though. He wants to move his career to a different path. There is a story in Seattle everyone is after. A murder case, that destroyed a family, a terrible tragedy and he wants to tell their story. The day that he comes to a meeting to hopefully get his story he meets Jim Shea. The cop that handled the case for the Kelly family, and also the man that is determined to protect their name.

Well, neither of them were expecting for what happened next, they just fell in together like it was always supposed to be that way. Griffin just wiggled himself into Jim's life, and the comfort and ease of it was just too strong to deny.

This book I think as a stand alone would have worked better, being wedged in this series takes away from it. It's funny, it's sweet, it's interesting, there is of course the trusty deus ex machina, but at least the dramatics weren't sky high.

I loved this book, and hope that all this time off means Tere Michaels has 10 or 12 books somewhere she will ply us with in the very near future.

Recommend!

Loved Jim and Griffin. The subplot was excellent and the whole story was engrossing.
