For a state trooper day to day there’s little excitement. So when Wyatt pursues two cars who are in a chase, it’s worrisome and exciting.

He catches Quintin, who explains his baby, Callum, is in the car he was chasing. The other car is caught, and it’s found that Jennifer, the Mom, left Callum unattended in her car.

Once Quentin has his son, he takes the bull by the horns to give him all he needs. He gets a lot of help, from his sister by mail, from Child Services, and especially from Wyatt.

Once they start to have feelings for each other, they work together to battle all the problems Jennifer causes.

An interesting story with an unusual plot and characters. It was great to see how things should work in the systems involved, but of course, this is fiction.

Enjoyable.

Andrew Grey writes the most ridiculous female characters.

A nice start to a new series. I have really enjoy the previous series based on the deputies and the police respectively. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

This was another good addition to Andrew Grey’s impressive stock of M/M romances. We’re in Carlisle, PA again and, since I know the city a little, I can follow the characters as they go through the town and know where they are—something I enjoy.

In this book, Quinton is stopped for speeding by cop Wyatt. When Quinton explains he was following a car-jacked van that had his infant son in the back, Wyatt believes him and the cops go into action to catch the van and get the baby back. Quinton is in a battle with his ex-wife and her parents for baby Callum. And Wyatt is there all the way to help him.

I wasn’t enamored of Quinton. He’s almost too down-trodden and leans so heavily on Wyatt. It’s Wyatt who comes to his rescue and continues to do so until the end. I would have liked to have seen Quinton get a little more backbone, but for this story, it worked.

Recommendation: If you love Andrew’s books (and who doesn’t?), pick this one up. It’s the first in a series and you’ll enjoy the satisfying ending to this romance.
