2 Lies and 1 Truth: Cam and Cort edition
This was a pretty good start to the series. I love stories featuring guys in law in enforcement. This book’s title is interesting because none of the good stuff was done “The Easy Way”. They had to work to build trust and foundation to eventually get to the happy place.
Cort and Cam were likable in different ways. Cort was a wise ass who was prone to doing this his way, which seems to be an oxymoron if you are working in a team environment like the FBI.
Cam on the other hand, is doing his best to keep his life and family business afloat after the tragic death of his parents. Trust is in short supply since people are trying to use him all the time.
Two guys with trust issues meet and let their guard down for a few hours and a bond is forged. It was nice. My favorite part of this book was the games like 2 lies and 1 truth in order to get to know each other. Those ice breakers were sprinkled throughout the book and it added levity to their circumstances.
These guys also had great chemistry. I felt them together. They fit and I’m glad that Cort realized that Cam was worth fighting for. They were the missing piece in the other person’s life.

Audiobook - 4 stars
Story - 3.5 stars
I understand this was May's debut novel, It was not bad at all.
The Good
- The story - It was fluffy and cute.
- The characters - Cam and Cort, They were likable and had chemistry that was believable. Their interactions were fun to listen to.
-The banter - This book had some lol moments, i love me some laughter, and the banter kept me entertained to the end.
-The absence of miscommunication. Oh Lawd! These two solved their issues. No running, no not speaking for a year. Gaaah! What a relief.
- The sex scenes were hot and it helped that the MCs had mad chemistry.
The Bad and The Ugly
-The insta lust/love.. Daaaamn! What happened to getting to know each other first? The I love you, had me like!
-The mystery, what was that?
- The MCs names, Cort and Cam. It took a while before i my brain registered who was who. It's not poetry or lyrics, the names don't have to rhyme.
Overall it was an enjoyable story despite the tiny niggles.

I read it, I enjoyed it and will read the second book because I want the guilty party wrecked - but will I remember this 6 months, 3 months even next week? Probably not. A good read but not a stand out.

3.5 rounded up. In this book Cort, an FBI agent gone maverick, and Cam, son of a wealthy family come too soon into his inheritance, should be on opposite sides of the mysterious crash death of Cam's parents. But one night together bonds them close, and they begin working together. Appealing and well-written characters make this instant connection seem possible. There were things I balked at, lies forgiven with enough kisses, conflicts glossed over, and one bit of the ending disappointed me in its simplification. Somehow, the guys and their banter was enough to carry this one through.

3.5 stars rounding down because at around 64% I got a bit tired of going round and round with no resolution coming.
Also there was the instant when that felt that things went missing in the middle of the scene to make it quicker or something.
Also the insta-love... ugghh that got a cringe when I saw it 'cos we were there for their interaction and nothing they had together till that point, pointed that they arrived!
Still an enjoyable read and will continue with the next one in the series.

I enjoyed this a lot. Cort and Cam had chemistry from the begining, not just sexual chemistry but romantic chemistry as well. I loved reading their conversations together just as much as I loved reading their sex scenes.
The plot could be considered nothing out of the ordinary, with Cam's parents having died in a plane crash and it having been intentional instead of accidental, but I liked how the author brought Cort into Cam's life, into the overall plot, to bring them together.
Because Cort's foster brother, Damon, was the pilot of the plane and was presumed dead, but also responsible for the crash, but Damon contacts Cort over several months and Cort figures out that he is indeed alive, and while Cort is determined to find out how and why his brother was framed - and using resources as an FBI agent to help - he figures that Cam or his brother Sebastian had their parents killed (and thus framing Damon) and so he's determined to prove it, and it brings him right to Cam.
But right away Cort is drawn in by Cam and they form an undeniable connection. They were so hot and sweet and adorable together, I loved whenever they interacted.
And yeah, it might have been "too easy" (hence the title) for them, and they fell in love fairly quickly, but it also didn't feel as insta-lovey as it was. Being able to see them fall for each other and feel that connection helped.
Things happen fast between them, but they don't get too caught up in everything. They move in after 5 months together at the end, but they're still taking their time with their relationship.
There is some mild angst but it works out well.
I definitely recommend this. There are well written characters, a well written relationship, and an entertaining plot. Cam and Cort just made me so happy <3
