I probably said this when I reviewed the last book in the series but there is something about the Ellery Mountain series that really appeals to me. I think it's because all the guys in Ellery seem like friends now and it is nice to pay a visit and see what is going on!In this story, Jamie (the paramedic) rescues Ian (the writer) from a car wreck. Jamie likes to spend time with his patients, sitting with people at the hospital and Ian is no exception. Ian's identity is unknown and he is a "John Doe" until his memory returns.It is interesting to watch their relationship develop - Ian doesn't have his memory, his situation in the car is mysterious, Ian misunderstand's Jamie's relationship with Ian's sister but the attraction between the two of them grows. I initially had some doubts about Ian focusing on his rescuer and perhaps misguided emotions being involved but the author raises this so it's pretty easy to overlook.I think my favourite scene is the one where Ian is telling Jamie a story about being hit upon by a politian in a bar "Of course all he saw in me was this guy in tight leather pants and no shirt willing to go down on his knees for some action. All I saw was the headline for my next article." Not how I'd pictured Ian (leather and shirtless) but it gave Jamie a big hint that he was gay!The early part of the book contains the mystery of what happened to Ian, the second half focuses on the relationship, particularly Jamie's fear that he will lose Ian if the journalist heads back to a war zone to find the next great news story. Jamie's been hurt in the past with the loss of loved one and doesn't want to put his heart on the line.Another great addition to the series!4.5 Amazon stars
