4.5 starsTwo books in and this series is on my auto-buy list. This was a really good follow up toA Better Man (The Men of Halfway House Book 1). It works as a standalone, but the first book is so good I would suggest you read it.Cam has lost 10 years of his life to a prison sentence. While he committed the act, there is something and someone behind the lengthy sentence and the brutality he suffered behind bars that is way off. Hunter is a State Attorney and a lonely man. Cam has moved into Halfway House and is working at the diner where Hunter is a regular. There is serious chemistry at first sight between the two men. There is a nice build up to a sizzling first kiss (Jamie Reese seriously writes some good first kiss scenes) as the men spend more and more time together on Cam's breaks. As Hunter angles for a real date, Cam is ready to come clean about his past, expecting to never see Hunter again. All the while, there is tension building around Hunter's work and when he realizes Cam is a real target all his protective instincts kick in.I loved the two MC's and the relationship they built. I especially like that the characters were rational and intelligent and it did not devolve into jumping to conclusions and acting before thinking. The chemistry between Cam and Hunter was off the charts with a good mystery and nice cast of secondary characters. Julian, Matt and Sam are back from the first book and the introduction of a number of new characters setting up the future books in the series did nothing to detract from the main story. I highly recommend this story.
