I absolutely loved the first two books by this author.  I read Blue Moon and immediately zipped back to the beginning so I could immediately read it again.  The second book, I was a little bit less enthused with, but I still liked it.  This book, confused the crap out of me.  I really enjoyed the humor. I enjoyed the setting--I'm a born and raised Atlanta girl living in Texas. I was even okay with God's background story--will address THIS later.  I liked the build up of their romantic relationship. But, I had problems with backstory/timeline.I do not like male foursomes--I think there's a little too much flesh and various other things flying around--yuck.  The m/m/m/m foursome in this book WAS NOT NEEDED.  In my humble opinion, the author missed a golden opportunity to make this into series if she'd just let the other two in the foursome HAVE THEIR OWN BOOK/STORY. I think the idea of the Atlanta Chief of Police's openly gay son matched with one of his officers is a good jump off point for a really good story, plus with God and Day as secondary characters...Back to God's backstory.  If an author is going to refer to a previous book, please, please, please USE A STORYBOARD for continuity. GOD bought his mother and brother the house. GOD moved them to Atlanta after he got out of the service. So WHY and HOW did video recordings (really?) from a dead man that NEVER lived in that house or city get there? Oh, someone out there will say that the mother and brother moved them, stuck them in the attic and forgot about them. Well, if that's the case, state it IN THE BOOK so there's no confusion. Also, what  was the brother doing in the attic?Back to Leo's backstory. Once again continuity. In the previous book, You Can See Me, Leo told Prescott that he was in a relationship for the past 6 months.  With WHO, because in THIS book neither men were "in a relationship" with anyone. God even teased Day about going to see Prescott "a few months back" when he was depressed so we must have been working on the same timeline.  CONTINUITY.The editing in this book was just painful.A.E., please stop rushing to publish books.  My mama had a saying:  "If you do things in a rush, isn't it funny how there's ALWAYS time to do it over again"  Mama was just saying--take the time to do it right the first time. If you screw up Shot, Fox, Hawk and Backhander's story I might just have to hunt you down.  If you need new of Beta-testers, shoot me an email and I will be glad to give you my honest thoughts and opinions.
