Wow, I LOVED this story! The mystery/suspense portion was interesting & had me guessing- definitely not a throw-away as background to the romance portion. The MCs were fantastic. The story was written in 3rd person but from Elliot's POV, so you developed a more intimate 'relationship' w/ him vs Tucker, but it worked! Elliot was a sympathetic character and was very like-able. He & Tucker were fantastic together. They clearly cared for each other & had to work through old hurts to kick start the new version of their lives together. I liked that Tucker was a little more clued in & open about what he wanted. Elliot had more baggage to lose but I never felt that they were unreasonable in their dealings w/ each other. No gratuitous stupidity or conflict. Yay!I don't know how Josh Lanyon does it, but I've pretty much loved all of his MCs & their relationships. There is just the right amount of conflict, internal & external, the right amount of tenderness, & perfect sexy times. I really can't say enough. I've become a rabid devotee of Lanyon since I started reading his works a few weeks ago.Back to this story, it was both a mystery & romance, side-by-side. I think he nailed the secondary characters as well. No throw-aways here either. My ONLY ongoing Lanyon complaint. I would love to see an epilogue! For all of his stories. I always feel like I'm not ready to say goodbye yet when the stories end. It's not a bad complaint to have & is a testament to how good Lanyon is at what he does.I couldn't put the book down, but when I had to, I couldn't wait to get back to it (OK, I read it in a day, but still). Great emotional depth, interesting & sexy MCs, a solid supporting cast, what's not to love? This is probably one of my favorite Lanyon's to date.Highly recommend!
