4.5/5 starsChase Manning is still reeling over the brush off and subsequent insult that fell from the delectable lips of one Rhys Sayers. Chase is accomplished and successful in his career, the rock and strength for his best friend James, but his personal life is non existent. Everyone, including the sexy PI that makes his blood boil and his dick hard all at the same time, thinks of Chase as a party animal bed hopping twink. And Chase is anything but any of these things.Rhys Sayers is smitten with smaller, smart and sexy IT guy from the start. Having just gotten out of a bad relationship with someone that resembles Chase, in physical appearance only, Rhys is brash and insulting to Chase when he makes a move on him. He immediately regrets his actions, but Chase is already walking away. The two end up working together and in very close quarters which makes it hard for either of them to deny their mutual attraction. After words are exchanged and few items from Chase's desk are thrown, and a heated, wet kiss is shared... the two wind up in Rhys's bed. And it is nothing that either of them expected.Appearances can be deceiving, and while Chase can accept Rhys taking charge at work and taking care of him in public, in the bedroom, Chase takes control. And the big man with Welsh roots and a temper to match both his height and his upbringing, loves every minute of it! While Rhys and Chase are trying to safely navigate the mine fields that litter their budding relationship, there is a killer at large that is targeting Chase's ex boyfriends. Could Chase be the next target?This is my favorite in this series so far. I love seeing how these characters are growing, all of them. As individuals, as couples, as friends and as a family. There is more back story for Chase and James, their friendship and how they met and grew so close. You also get a more in depth look into Chase's past. Why he always wears the cuff bracelet, the story behind the necklace. Just all the little details that O'Riley put into this story that made it even more engaging. I loved the role reversal for the two male leads, with what you first see and think being opposite of what they become. These two are really passionate and electric when they come together.This is the third book in a series that should be read in order, and I suggest you do. If you are a fan of hard luck stories, where there is happiness and success in the end then you'll love these books. There is some mystery and suspense, love, loss, betrayal but most important, there is some hot mens and they get their happy ever after. I got a little misty eyed, I swear! I'm so excited for Dal and Alex's story next, write faster Tempeste!!!* I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review through MM Good Book Reviews *[...]
