This story was outstanding, the best I've read so far from Kindle Alexander. It had two very engaging MCs, a sweet romance, angst, intrigue, a strong subplot, and a very surprise twist from what I had anticipated might happen.Trent is a family man, having adopted his widowed sister's two children when she passed away during childbirth. He's also a master electrician, owns his own small business, juggles work and family responsibilities and keeps it all going. He's currently working on a huge new project-- an art gallery in downtown Chicago. When he meets the owner, he's shocked to find out that it's Gage Synclair, the world renowned photojournalist. Each man is instantly attracted to the other but Trent makes it clear that he doesn't mix work with play and he prefers to keep all facets of his life, including his family, separate.Within a few days, however, they are unable to resist the attraction and Trent breaks down and agrees to a dinner date with Gage. This is something new for Gage who has never had more than a one night stand with any man and is shocked at his rapidly developing feelings for Trent. He doggedly pursues Trent until he's managed to win him over and the two appear to be well on their way to a happy relationship.The only area of his life that Gage keeps from Trent is his last research project, one involving a despicable assassin. Gage is in the final stages of gathering evidence that will convict this man and when Gage reveals his proof to the world, it will make Gage a household name and secure his future as a network anchor.Of course, the criminal element is not going to peacefully be resolved. It wouldn't make for a good story if it was that easy and Kindle Alexander really surprised me with what happened. I really expected a complication involving kidnapping or something similar but what we got was nail-biting suspense and downright heartbreak. Without revealing anything more, I'll just say that this section was fantastic and very well done. And, the resolution was not a simple one. This was a very well thought out plot.So, don't miss this one. I highly recommend it to all lovers of M/M romance 'cause these guys were downright sweet together, and to all lovers of action/adventure/suspense because it was all that and more. And PS, we get a super HEA as well-- but not until you might have all your nails bitten down to the quick.Note: A copy of this book was provided to me by the author for an impartial review.
