Story of Matthew and Jason

This is a brother’s best friend/Second chance mystery romance featuring Matthew and Jason.

Jason is a private detective with Stonewall and Matthew works with the FBI. They are working together on trying to solve the serial killer case.

There is lots of pining and rebuilding their relationship as they work to try and find the serial killer.

I won’t tell you anything else about this as I don’t want to spoil it but I will say READ IT, it’s gripping and suspenseful, so well written. I’m really loving working my way through Max Walker’s catalogue.

The narration performed by Iggy Toma was perfect as always, Iggy can do no wrong.

One of my fav quote:

“I never want to let you go.”
“Then don’t”

Jason left Matthew and his life years before because he thought he was doing the right thing. As he lives his life in the small Connecticut town of Blue Creek, a serial killer brings the one man he can't forget back into his life. You can feel the spark between the two men and as they work together to catch the killer in the small town, their romance ignites again and this time, they both fight for it. A good read!

Sad to have the Blue Creek series end. Love small-town romances and have really enjoyed the many Stonewall Investigators finding love.

Jason and Matt’s story is lovely and heartwarming, even though it is set in the midst of serial murders that have taken their inspiration from the Unicorn killer (see the original Stonewall series).

These two loved each other once, they made great romantic partners as well as FBI partners. But Jason left it all behind, afraid of hurting his brother. Instead, he hurt himself and Matt.

When they find themselves working the Pegusas case together, there is no denying that all those feelings they once had are still burning strong. But if they are going to have a shot, they have to come clean with their best friend and brother and find a serial killer.

I loved that these two didn’t fall into any major drama, they fell into step with one another, made peace with their past, and navigated their future together. It was lovely because really, chasing a murderer is drama enough!
