Oh, this book! First of all, I have to rave about the cover. Beautiful, fitting for this story.I'd been waiting anxiously for this book ever since reading Continental Divide, and it was well worth the wait.Yes, I have a feeling I was no exception as to where I thought this book would lead, but I loved the direction it took and where the wonderful path ended. It was simply perfection.We'd been introduced to Remy's long-time friend Miguel in Continental Divide, and---oh, come on, you know me and my love for Latino men---I devoured him in this book, where Harner brought him to beautiful technicolor life.One thing that touched me about this book, the element that clung to me because of its familiarity and true-to-life tenderness, is the meeting of past lovers. The pain, the bitterness, the finally letting go and accepting that life must indeed have other plans for us.The mystery/suspense is well crafted. The characters oare fleshed beautifully. Remy is gorgeous and down-to-earth and macho as ever. Jamie is sweet and sexy as we remember him from Contintal Divide.And then there's Miggy. For me, this is his story, his coming to terms with his seuxality, which Harner sketched with love and gentleness, and had the reader rooting for him to accept himself.The journey both Remy and Miggy undertake---not only in their own relationship but their new role as guradians---is believable and the ending to the book is made-to-order for all concerned.Sexy story. Heartfelt story. Intriguing story. Highly recommended.
