It’s weird. At some point in time during the first two book reviews, I uttered the phrase, “Oh hell no!” For this review, I’m going to step it up just a touch. “Oh hell the fudge no she didn’t!”For the third of the four book series, Laura Harner does not pull any punches. She starts out hard and the hits keep coming at a rapid pace.For reasons you’ll have to read to find out, Jamie has fled England to America in hopes that his friend, Remy, and Remy’s partner, Miguel (Miggy) can help him. Back in the States, Remy is embroiled in a case that brings up some very unpleasant memories, and Miggy…well, Miggy has family issues when a relative shows up on his doorstep. Toss in Remy and Miggy’s ‘son’, Toby, and you’re already seeing the fraying on the fabric of their lives.The past plays a big part in this book. Jamie, Remy, and Miggy all deal with it in a different way. Jamie seeks help from his friends. Remy swaggers in and jumps headlong. Miggy goes to protect his loved ones.I’m not going to say a lot about this story (because I refuse to give away anything), other than it’s a total game changer. By the time the book is over, no one is left unscathed and no life is left untouched. Laura Harner weaves an intricate tale that forces you to ask ‘why’? The answers don’t come easily, and they’re not going to satisfy everyone, but they were the only answers that would truly make sense in the lives of these men.Laura, I’d like to make a request for book four, please. No more “HELL NO” moments. Let me keep a shred of my dignity. Or not. Whatever path you write, I’m gonna follow.
