Reviewed by Laurie Pfor TheRomanceReviews.comAlicia Nordwell has created a story with characters that are so very real. I loved Kameron, loved his need to stay true to himself, doing the job assigned to him, protecting Bear, while falling in love with Bear. Bear is an interesting man, with a bit of a small man's complex combined with an overbearing big brother. And yet he's fun, smart with a sense of humor, but he's also trying to be independent. And I never did like Jimmy; he walks the fine line between intense, annoying and understandable. But in real life you don't like everyone you meet either. The fact that there were characters I loved and hated is the sign of a great writer.Kameron is trying to find his place in the macho world of law enforcement. It's a world where trusting that your comrades have your back is everything. When his trust in his old unit is broken, he transfers to Jimmy's unit. He's hoping to find the trust that he needs to do his job. Bear is ready to believe he'll never find love and that his brother will never see him as anything other than someone who needs taking care of. But these two do have a mostly good relationship. And Jimmy is a lot like people in law enforcement in real life.The police world and the world of the characters are beautifully written. The story flows, pulling you along with intrigue and suspense. Yet for me, this was more of a character-driven story. There are a few places where the story bogged down a bit for me, a few places where it's a bit hard to believe, but not enough to take away from the story or to make me put down this book. I look forward to reading more of this author's work.
