Love & Loyalty
by Tere Michaels
Insert sentence about how much I hate series here. I laughed my way through most of this book. In a good way. I love the first book in this series and have read it twice in as many months so I thought I would continue on to Jim’s story since I really did like his character in the first book. By the way, you do not have to read the first book to enjoy this one.
Detective Jim Shea’s life is not really any less dark and gloomy than Evan or Matt but enter screenwriter Griffin Drake. Before Jim meets Griffin, he has become very personally involved in a homicide case and the acquittal of the guilty party hits Jim, his colleagues and the victim’s family very hard. Famous Hollywood actress Daisy Mae wants to make a serious a la Sundance movie about the grisly case and brings along her best gay buddy, Griffin to write the screenplay.
Griffin fills his days in sunny LA writing screenplays and taking whatever Daisy dishes out to him whether that consists of an ‘I told you so’ when he gets his heart stomped on or a rant about the latest mistress her Hollywood producer husband is flaunting in her face. I was not a fan. So the guy owns your career, why let him dictate your entire life? Hollywood types. That’s really the only critique I had of the novel. I could do without them.
When Griffin sits down to write the screenplay for the Kelly case, he comes up with a big fat blank page. The only time his writer’s block seems to lift is when he has interaction with Jim so he travels to Seattle to take Jim to dinner and it turns into a very, very long involved date. Hey, whatever gets his screenplay written, right?
Jim finds himself enjoying coming home to the domestic touches that Griffin has brought to his life. The man actually did his laundry and Jim realizes exactly how lonely and solitary his life has become, so much so that this workaholic now cannot seem to wait to leave work at quitting time to come home to Griffin and his light-hearted repartee.
“Anything else I should know…”
“I’m not usually that phenomenal in bed?”
“I don’t believe that for a second…How good are you in the shower?”
“Blurry, because I can’t wear my glasses or my contacts-but I’m pretty sure I can find your dick without much problem.”
“That’s all I need to know.”
