AfterBehind Iron LaceI was looking for another MM from this writer. It is not that I was overly impressed with Behind Iron Lace but from this one reading experience I gather this writer will not produce a dull even if incredible story line. I was proved right with "In from the cold". If you like angst and drama you will like this one.There is nothing new in the relationship between Quinn and Nathan. Close friends turned brief lovers during their youth, one gay and the other deeply in the closet. 16 years after they separated they are still so deeply in love with each other, a theme I always have a problem with in my MM romance. But the story is fast paced and the drama and angst do keep me entertained till the very end. The  problem I have is Nathan's character. This guy was an ex-veteran and now a law enforcer. Wouldn't that means he is at least a strong character? But no. Nathan's character come across weak and fragile. Nathan's inability to accept his sexuality and the writer telling us Nathan is really such "an innocent"  just does not click! Then there is this last part with Nathan as a victim which I feel the writer has gone overboard in terms of throwing a lot of nastiness at her heroes. Yes the writer want us to feel sympathy and be touched but really, Nathan's ordeal is too much. That said I will continue reading this writer's works as I know I will not be bored with her fast paced and dramatic plot.
