Reviewed by Becky on Mrs Condit & Friends review blog: Part II of the Angel Books starts where Part I left off – Jordan has somehow managed to escape POW confinement and gotten himself home, with no help from the Army or US government. And that is a problem because now he’s accused of accepting aid from an enemy. His mangled body requires immediate hospitalization, something Aaron has to force on Jordan who is fearful of getting put in prison again.Aaron and Jordan have five weeks to get proof that Troy ordered Jordan’s imprisonment and then his death. They have to use every stealthy technique at their disposal to get the information they need and the result is another opportunity for one of them to be killed.In the end they need to save themselves and the nurse who saved Jordan’s life, even though she has been targeted for assassination by the US Army. This is a gripping spy thriller. The sex, because these two guys are hot for each other, is scorching and a welcome diversion from all the skullduggery. Even Jordan’s father is not immune to being a target by this triple crossing agent.I loved the finale of this story. The use of the word “quiet” is like a bomb going off in the story. You’ll have to read it to understand. I admit I would love to have more stories about what Jordan and Aaron are doing after they separate from the Army and CIA. Please, Ms. Borino?I had the opportunity to interview Jordan to find out a little more about him…1. Hello, Jordan. How are you coming along with your physical recovery and your PTSD symptoms?Jordan: I’m coming along. My ankle is healing and I can breathe again… most of the time. I’ll probably struggle with PTSD for a long time to come. But I’m identifying my triggers, which allows me to better manage the symptoms.2. Do you think your mother’s death was part of a sinister plot or a true accident?Jordan: Oh, please don’t say that so loudly. I don’t want Aaron getting any new ideas. *laughs* It was a tragic accident, nothing more.3. When it comes to sex, what is your favorite way to pleasure your husband?Jordan: If I’m pleasuring him, his preference should be the most important, no? Then again, I enjoy making him happy… Sorry, I got distracted. My favorite way to pleasure him is by waking him up with a blow job.4. You’ve been accused of everything from lying to treason. How has that affected your ability to trust people?Jordan: Wow, sex to treason is quite a subject change. The truth is, I’ve known all along who I can trust, and the majority of the people above me in the Army are moral leaders doing the best they can. One bad apple high up can ruin the whole organization.5. How old were you when you realized you were gay and how did that affect you?Jordan: I was sixteen. And it made me more careful. I always planned to go into the Army, which meant I couldn’t be as open as I would have liked. But it also taught me to read people because I did not have room for errors in who I pursued.6. Let’s go with some fast round questions…a. Eat out or dine at home?Jordan: Home.b. Smooth, manscaped, or hairy?Jordan: I allow myself to be as hairy as possible below the neck… which is to say not very much at all. Curse of Asian blood.c. Soft and slow or rough and up against the wall?Jordan: Depends on the moment. I’m not going to limit myself to one.
