This one is a wonderful surprise. Maxwell is one fascinating character. A homeless man, a vagrant, a vigilante of the weak, a fallen angel this little man with his red hair drew me completely into his story from page 1. Maxwell is such a tragic figure and sometimes you sense that he is courting death as he feels it could be his only redemption. There is a wonderful plot here and it is as much a thriller as a romance.And what a convincing romance. I love Maxwell's growing relationship with Nick. Maxwell deserves someone who cares and his blue eyed cop is his salvation. Nick may seem the more ordinary character but he is just as likable. He is your decent cop with a heart, who sees everthing in black or white, who believes in and upholds the law. In other words Nick is just too nice to be a cop. Two very different characters and yet pefect for each other.There are suspenseful moments which have me at the edge of my seat and there are parts in the story which got me all teary eyed. This writer is really something as she conveys the emotions so effectively. Great description of this impoverished Church district too, with its darkness, hopelessness and pain. Amidst all the MM romance, it is just wonderful to find this little jem.
