Stay With Me actually caught me a little off guard at the begining of the book. What caught me off was Mackenzie Williams the smart mouth retired COP turned PI who is gay, gruff and gritted and his wisecracking POV. I have to say that while reading this book I must of cracked up many many times while reading some of Mackenzie's thoughts on love, life and the everything else he could think of.So the story centers around Mackenzie who is on a stakeout for another clients while noticing a car parked across the street from him with someone it the car. Mackenzie not one who is shy by anymeans goes banging on the car door and when the window opens up he is...well he is immediately floored by what he sees. With that being said, what apprears from the car is one Jordan Channing who took is kinda on a stakeout. He is checking up on his fiancée who is thinks she cheating on him. Are you with me so far? Of course Mackenzie cannot let this go and so he starts the mouthing off to Jordan stuff and BAM, Jordan decides that he really likes this off the wall kinda guy and what else, invites him to go get a coffee!After Jordan starts getting to know Mackenzie he decides to hire him to follow his fiancée because according to Jordan he is doing the job all wrong. As the Mackenzie and Jordan start to have the work relationship the relationship becomes more personal than what it originally set out to be. Jordan is draw to Mackenzie which he never thought as a male hetrosexual could be and more and more his feelings for Mackenzie become much more personal than professional. Mackenzie for his part has been drawn to Jordan from the start but knows not to go there for fear that Jordan will run and run as far away as he can go. Will Jordan decided that Mackenzie is for him and that he can change what he once thought he wanted to something that he never even thought true. That is the $100,000 question.Also just have to say this in my review that the secondary characters in this book make Mackenzie spill out what really is on his mind. First his business partner and friend Drew. The banter between Drew and Mackenzie is so off the wall that it made me crack up laughing. Drew knows Mackenzie's ins and outs and his biggest fear is that his friend may be stepping over the boundries with Jordan and get hurt. Next we have Robby, Jordan's younger brother who is a police officer also and seems to have this habit of trying to still after so many years get under his older brother Mackenzie's skin. Robby and Mackenzie have a love/hate brother relationship but when push comes to shove Robby is there for his brother only wanting happiness for him. I will say that the dry humor from these two was priceless. And then we have Mackenzie and Robby's dad who loves both his sons also a retired cop who loves both his sons and will do and say what is need to them at any moment in time.For my review I give this book a 4.5 rating because of way the author wrote his story. There is so much to this book then a m/m romance and you really shouldn't miss out reading this book.
