This is a male/male romance.Diamond thief Noel Snow seduced FBI special agent Robert Cuffe, then fled.  Now a decade later, Noel is a successful novelist who bases his books on his past exploits.  He even based his hero's nemesis (and possible love interest) on Robert, but hasn't had contact with the man other than a yearly drunken phone call at New Year's.  Now Robert has appeared on his doorstep, accusing Noel of committing a rash of diamond thefts.  Can Noel prove his innocence as well as get Robert back in his life?Too many times m/m authors will sacrifice plot for frequent sex scenes that feel more clinical than emotional.  Heck, so do many romance writers during the recent surge in erotic romances.  I really hate that lack of good writing, that distance between reader and character.  Josh Lanyon isn't one of those writers.  This is actually the first story I've ever read by him and it definitely will not be the last.  In fact, I've already bought the first two Adrian English mysteries after completing this story.  There's a connection here between the characters, both of whom are well defined and developed even over the short number of pages involved.  If Lanyon can do this in 60 odd pages, I can only imagine what he will deliver with longer stories.  If you like m/m romance, do yourself a favor and buy this story.  I think you'll be as pleased as I have been.  4.5 out of 5.
