Date: 03 8, 2013
Take one slightly used, slightly bruised ex-detective turned private investigator, add one young man, student by day, hooker by night, mix well and watch the sizzle.Author T.A. Webb brings us a well written, heart breaking, life affirming novelette that will bring a smile to your face and possibly a tear to your eye. We are introduced to two strong men, both of whom have endured tragic events in their pasts and are trying to just get by until the pain heals.Marcus was a detective in the Atlanta Police Department until tragedy struck and he found himself unable to do his job and decided being a PI would give him the leeway he needed to clean up his slice of the town. Ben is a young master's student at Emory, one year away from graduating he's found the best way to make a good deal of money with a little effort is standing on the street corner and selling his body.As it happens, the street corner Ben picks just so happens to be in Marcus' neighborhood, a neighborhood Marcus is determined to make sure is cleaned up and stays that way. Fate brings the two together and they discover that even though there is an age difference and they are on opposite sides of the law, they have more in common than they could have ever imagined.This is a short novelette, only 40 or so pages so it's a quick read but don't be fooled by its length, Marcus and Ben are well fleshed out and we have no doubt who they are and what they are about.  Mr. Webb gives us a warning in his blurb that "Caution: This is the first in a three part series, and you WILL want to come back for part 2. Hot men WILL have sex, and I can guarantee hot angst in my stories."  Heed this warning well, especially the part about this being the first in a three part series.Yes, the dreaded cliff hanger ending, not only a cliff hanger but the almost stop mid thought cliff hanger. Really? Why? Don't get me started, enough said about that. Part 2 of the warning is also true, hot men do have sex and there is hot angst. There is also a nice glimpse of my part of the world. Mr. Webb is from Atlanta and proud of it, so while not a feature character, Hotlanta is well represented.For a quick read that will have have you smiling, crying and yes I'll say it, frustrated you can't go wrong with City Knight.  Now Mr. Webb give us the rest please.Reviewer for the Paranormal Romance Guild
