Be Still My Heart by Charlie Cochet
5.0
4.5 stars!
This was really good! I was excited to delve into Red and Laz's story after their introduction in the first book.
Red is still recovering from being shot, so he still isn't back to work with King's Security quite yet. He hasn't seen Laz in months since he left Red's bedside when his best friends/brothers showed up, because Laz thought he was being a burden.
Laz, just getting out of an abusive relationship with Bryan, has some shit to go through in this book, and Red continues to - and always will - deal with his PTSD. But together Laz and Red are sweet and adorable - and also, really hot and sexy and passionate together ;)
When Ace meddles as Ace does, Red and Laz see each other again, only Laz gets shot at, and it's clear that someone is trying to kill him. This isn't like with Colton and Ace where Ace was Colton's bodyguard, because Red still isn't back at work and Mason - Ace's ex from book one - takes over the case, and in the mean time Red is staying with Laz at Colton's (and now Ace's) house while Colton is on a business trip.
There was a bump in the road for these two, but I liked that it made sense -. Ultimately I felt Laz was more in the wrong, even though I understood his insecurities and jumping to conclusions. Still didn't make it right, and I would have liked a longer conversation about it with these two, but what we did get was good. Still, a follow up conversation would have been good, I think.
At least from that, they learned from their mistakes and their relationship could become stronger. They got through their first fight, yay!
I totally started to suspect who the person was wanted Laz dead pretty soon and I was totally right! I kneww ittt. Sometimes people do the craziest things for the craziest reasons...
Overall this was fun and enjoyable - a little slow going for me at first, but not too bad - and Red and Laz are two sweethearts who are even bigger sweethearts together, although, like Red says, Laz is a minx in the bedroom ;)
Also, we got a set up for our next couple - Lucky and Mason. I wasn't expecting it but I am HERE for it, mmkay. Also, I call it now that Gio, Laz's brother, will be King's love interest. If not I will be shocked lol.
I'm really enjoying this series, so much. Can't wait for more! :D

Spoiler
Red didn't talk to Laz yet about his fears and that he went to see his therapist because he was afraid of scaring Laz away with his PTSD problems, as it did with his ex, and Laz, having recently gone through a cheating ex, lets his insecurities get the best of him and assume the worst, and he doesn't talk to Red about itAt least from that, they learned from their mistakes and their relationship could become stronger. They got through their first fight, yay!
