Wow.... Jem is a hot mess! He's been cursed by Karma, and has paid the price for several years. I loved Jem and his drama, he's a fantastic character. Sweet and quirky, with a bit of a dark past! He's kept out of trouble lately, but gets caught up in his past when it comes back to bite him on the butt.Nick is your typical stoic cop, nice enough, but stubborn and frustrating. He's drawn to Jem, not knowing why, until the big reveal.... then he gets a little snotty! I loved him for his strength and stubborness, and his ultimate caring and protection of Jem. He tries to be a good cop and stay away from Jem, who he thinks is trouble, then tries to keep out of the case when Jem does prove to be trouble, but he just can't. And shouldn't! Jem desperately needs a keeper, and Nick eventually steps up and takes him under his wing.This is a very clever story, enough drama to keep it interesting, but not too much to make it heavy. I liked the extra characters, Olly, Jem's friend at work, and Jem's sister whose name I can't remember at the moment! (Yes.... I just finished it last night. Sigh...) And Pancake the cat! The bad guy was great too, in his own twisted way. Trying not to say too much, but I liked him too.I loved the dialogue, it's quick and fun, especially between Jem and Nick. Not a lot of sex, but it's hot when it's there. Although there is some rope play between Nick and Jem that I'm not sure fit. I would have liked more of it to make it fit better with their story, or have left it out. It didn't bother me enough to impact the story, but I thought it was a little odd.Overall I really liked this book! Great characters, great writing, and an interesting story.
