Someone's trying to kill photographer Laz, and his crush Red rushes to protect him. I adored Red - he's like the cuddliest, sweetest alpha bear. Laz is genuine and cute as a button. The romance is stronger if you'd read the last book, but it works well enough without. The chemistry is strong, and the affection between them feels very natural. Lots of little touches between them which I liked. 

I also liked how they support each other in working through their issues. The sex is steamy hot and Laz is surprisingly the one with the dirtier mouth. Suspense is good but same issue as the last - was bit rushed to the end. And I wasn't fond of >!the momentary breakup where Laz jumped the gun and hurt Red - it was unneeded!<. The brotherhood is great though, really enjoyed them.
