4.0

Title: Floodgates
Author: Mary Calmes
Series: N/A
Genre: M/M Romance



Main Characters:

Tracey Brandt is kind of a spaz. If you are familiar with Mary Calmes, Tracey is Jory. He has a ton of friends that flit around him with their drama, he himself has drama in the form of a stalker, and keeps getting assaulted, etc. He has split from his long term boyfriend, Breckin, after finding him cheating.

Cord Nolan is a reformed manwhore, but he reform for one man in particular, his former partner-on-the-job’s younger brother, Tracey. After a rocky first meeting with Tracey years ago, Cord has set about changing his life in such a way that Tracey would accept him as a partner.

Plot/Conflict:

Tracey is in danger from someone who is attacking Breckin Alcott’s former lovers (Breckin is the ex that Tracey kicked to the curb after finding him cheating. Cord jumps in to make sure that Tracey is safe, and to make a case for taking a chance on Cord rather than trying to work things out with Breckin.

Loves:

Typical Mary Calmes, I loved the come-together, the release of tension when they characters finally get their shit together

Likes:

Tracey’s a little less flighty than the typical Jory stand-in.

Peeves:

I both love and hate how much most of Calmes’ book characters are interchangeable.

Favorite Quote:

“For me?”
“Yes, idiot. It was always gonna be you.”
