Tootsie on Mrs Condit & Friends review blog: I have been a fan of Ms. Ford for quite some time and was as anxious as everyone else to get my hands on this fabulous continuation into Cole and Jae’s life. Each book, leading up to this one, has shown more and more of their life together and the relationship they are building. Cole and Jae are becoming more secure in their relationship and the life they are building together. Their foundation, finally seems to be on more solid ground, and I for one, could not be happier with this development.The story takes off with Cole and his cop buddy, Bobby, on a stake-out. Of course, they have Claudia involved as well, who is recovering from injuries in the last book. Being the spit-fire that she is, she insists on getting back to work, and true to form, she does just that. Course anytime you have these 3 together, you can pretty well bet on laughter and trouble. The situations they get in are so funny, lol funny. Rhys Ford has left no stone unturned in this book, while keeping you on the edge of your seat. Things take on a serious tone when Sheila, now the enemy, has been spotted. She is on the run, and Cole is adamant about finding her and getting her off the streets. His main goal and mission is to keep Jae safe, at all costs.I love how the author has taken Jae’s character and shows so much growth. He has always been insecure with his sexuality, mainly, due to his mother, her beliefs, and strong convictions against homosexuality. Jae has finally accepted, as much as possible, that his mother will not come around and embrace him as he is. It saddens him immensely, but with Cole by his side, he starts to thrive as a person, a gay man, in love. It is a beautiful thing to see him mature right in front of you and take on a more active role in the relationship and with their sexual encounters as well. Speaking of sexual encounters, Cole-ah or Agi, as Jae likes to call him, have some very passionate and intense love scenes. You can feel the love they have for each other, just by the words the author uses to set the scene. You feel as though you are a silent witness, off to the side, watching as they explore each other and make beautiful, passionate love to each other.The detail and the description that the author uses, thru out this entire story, is incredible. She sets each scene, allowing your imagination to soar, giving you a vision that is remarkable. This is a beautiful story of love and commitment, strength and determination, compassion and knowing when to be humble and be thankful for every small blessing that comes your way. I cannot think of any reason, especially if you have already read the first three books in this series, that you would not want to continue on with Cole and Jae in their journey. If you haven’t read any, then I strongly recommend you to start with Dirty Kiss and work your way thru this magnificent story of love and perseverance. I would like to say thank-you to Rhys Ford for gifting us with her incredible talent and allowing us to follow along with her.
