My Review:This book was absolutely fabulous, but there are things about it that bother me, while at the same time, made the book so freaking good. Angelo is the head of the Los P gang in NYC. He's an in your face, no holds barred tough guy. He meets Gabe after his sister is gunned down and he's being questioned about what he knows about it. Gabe is a detective and Angelo is one of the most wanted in NYC...if only they could pin something on him. But when they meet in the interrogation room, there is an instant buzz between them....something that completely shocks Gabe because he's never had that with a man and to have it with this man is just so wrong.Suffice it to say this is one sexy book. There is so much sexual chemistry between the men, but they are so far apart. Their relationship is impossible in every sense of the word. This book is all about the forbidden which is part of what makes it so freaking good, but it also makes it difficult at times.Angelo is not a nice guy. He's in charge of a NYC gang...he kills people and you see that in the book. For me, personally, that's difficult and kept this book from rating an A or A+ on my scale. But at the same time, you see why he does what he does and he's not a bad guy. I literally spent the last 20% of the book with my stomach in knots about how it all works out. It's very emotional.The book was amazing and I love authors who can take relationships like this, where absolutely it should NEVER work out, and manage to make it work believably. I'm still on the fence about reading the other books in the series, though. I like the good guy/bad guy aspect, but worry that these books may just take the bad guy part just a shade too far for me and the next book features both heroes who are gang members.
