This is the second book in the series “The Men of the Halfway House” We still have Matt and the wonderful Julian in this book but they become secondary characters now to Cameron Pierce and Hunter Donovan.Cameron Pierce was the first inmate to be let out on the release program to The Halfway House if you read A Better Man at the end. Sam had worked hard to get Cameron who was accused of murder on an early release and to get him over to Matt and Julian’s. With Matt’s help Cameron gets a job at the local diner owned by friends of Matt’s a husband and wife. After being incarnated for ten long years Cameron has a lot of catching up to do with society. Of course there are demons that Cameron is faced with dealing and everyday he worries if freedom will be taken away from him again.Enter Hunter Donovan who is a Assistant State Attorney who goes to the diner every day for a home baked cookie and a cup of coffee. Today is not like any other day for Hunter because when he get’s in line to try the new coffee/espresso machine that Cameron found and set up to use BAM….he is done, done, done. One look at those eyes of Cameron and Hunter melts like butter, of course Cameron see’s Hunter as someone he could go for but he is very wary of what Hunter is about. Could it be Cameron’s coffee that makes Hunter want to keep going to the diner everyday, all day, anytime and thinking about it/him consistently….well what do you think not! (well, he apparently does make a good cup of joe in the book)As Cameron starts to come forward Hunter is their waiting for him full force. I just loved the attraction and the bond that these two men have in this book. It is beautiful the way Jamie wrote their story. Hunter becomes totally committed to Cameron but Cameron can’t say the words that Hunter longs to hear because he is afraid that this will all go away in a blink of an eye. There are those that want Cameron back in prison for good and it is up to Hunter to find out who and what the reasons are for Cameron’s return to prison. With everything that Hunter has in him he vowels to protect Cameron no matter what and become the strength that Cameron needs to face the horrid world that he once knew. One of my favorite lines in the book is when Cameron asks Hunter “Are you ever going to get tired of saving me?” “Never” Hunter replies.There are some new characters too in this book like Hunter’s father who is written like the best father a person can have, who not only loves his son unconditionally but loves Cameron too something that Cameron never had with his own father. We also get to know newcomer to the house Cole who gets on Julian’s last nerve every time he opens his mouth and I think he will be next to have his story in The Men of the Halfway House which I am hoping….I can honestly say that I loved both books of this series and that if you read A Better Man than you definitely must read A Hunted Man.
