This is an action packed story in a different sort of setting. The story revolves around the mystery of missing supplies at a refugee camp funded by Drummond Industries. There are lots of good red herrings and plenty of places for worry about the MCs.
Primarily though this is a love story. It’s an enemies to lovers story (though not really) as well as a wealth gap story. Both of those themes play out big time. These are very different men, one of whom really can’t get over their differences and keeps throwing it in the other’s face. To be honest that gets pretty old and frankly the last time it happens I’m so fed up I truly wish the other MC would walk out. Justin is really a jerk and even though the author gives us a tragic background I never really felt like rooting for him. Finn on the other hand has the patience of a saint and is way too understanding from my point of view. After that final blow up he should have said enough. Additionally, they are working on a relationship in a country where homosexuality is illegal. Lots of hurdles.
But of course since it is a romance novel they work it out. The mystery is mostly solved and it appears we have our HEA. Some things are glossed over at the end but overall this is an engaging read.
