Review: Love the setting of the story.

What I love about this one is the credible setting and background. Falconry and its role in keeping birds from planes! I certainly have no knowledge of that until now. Very interesting and kudos to the writer for her great effort in weaving it into this convincing MM romance. I enjoy her writing. The emotional journey between Hunter and the deeply closeted Mark is well done and kept me reading right till the end.I have to say I was irritated with Mark's character until the last part, when he finally redeemed himself. Mark is so deeply in the closet that he needs a smacking. OK he has his own reasons and his past certainly does not help but for a daring officer who so willingly risks his life in the line of duty, I would have though he has more guts about coming out. But then maybe that really takes much more courage than losing your life. And where is the angst if Mark could do just that, right? I like Hunter's character, more so when we know of his painful past. Even if the story is told from Mark's POV, we get to know Hunter just as well.The plot is well done too, with a bit of excitement with Hunter's job and the all too real and ugly homophobic situations. Finally it is the last part which gives such a realistic touch to the whole story. OK so the last paragraph could be longer for a sap like me. If this is the writer's first effort, she has done a marvelous job and I look forward to much more from her. And I certainly like the cover!
