Simon was a character that I really liked, but in some ways didn’t. He’s a wealthy man, has a title, has great friends and never acts like he’s better than anyone else. But, he’s also a man who only does one-night hook-ups and his response and the way he talked to someone interested in a second night showed him as a jerk. It doesn’t matter his position, he’s very involved with all of his business so when he finds out someone he thought was his friend was stealing and hiding from him, Simon is ready to kick butt. He flies to Canada to clean house but gets more than he bargains for. Simon meets Nick through his hook-up app and they both have a memorable night, though Simon is his typical rude self and lets Nick know it won’t be more than one night. Nick is in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and he’s ready for a relationship. But he has a lot going on in his life, and finds his path crossing with Simon in a professional standpoint. The RCMP works with Simon’s company to try to figure out what’s going on.
This story works through the case of what’s going on in Simon’s company, who the bad guys are and a satisfactory ending with the case. The case was fairly straightforward with no mystery. The bad guys make sure that Simon knows who they are and what they want. This wasn’t a simple solving of the case within a couple of days. The story covered many different parts of the investigation and let the reader walk through the solving of the crime. There are also issues for Nick on the force that result from the case involving Simon’s firm. For me personally, this added part just was a little too much and unnecessary. And, once the case is cleared up, Simon and Nick both need to decide on what they want for their life, together or apart.
I liked Nick and in the end, I liked Simon. I thought there were great, supporting characters. Though I didn’t love this book, I did enjoy it and would recommend it! I don’t think there are a lot of books with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (the reason I really wanted to read it) so I think it’s a great chance to see a character and case in that setting.
Rating: 4 stars
