Review: Intriguing Premise Full of Steamy Scenes
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 4, 2012
The premise of this book drew me in with its bad boy falling for a sexy male cop amongst the world of gang violence.  The sparks exploded between Gabe and Angelo across an interrogation room table and what followed was an extremely erotic gay-for-you story that kept you on the edge of your seat as retribution was slowly being doled out.Angelo was left no choice but to become gang leader after the murder of his father.  He doesn't enjoy committing violence but to avenge his father's murder and keep his neighborhood clean and safe he'll do whatever must be done.  As the death toll towards his family climbs he starts rethinking his future plans.  An unexpected encounter with sensitive and sexy cop Gabe finalizes his decision and as they get closer together Angelo's life is put even more in danger.Angelo is to die for, utterly delectable, and I can see why Gabe is drawn to him even though he's never been interested in men before.  He oozes sex appeal and you could feel his animal magnetism whenever he came on the scene.  Gabe was a sensitive soul and always wanted to see the good in Angelo.  He purposely set aside what he knows of Angelo in order to have a relationship with him.  It didn't seem realistic that he could live with himself knowing the crimes Angelo had committed and this does in fact finally pull them apart.Their relationship is one big up and down emotional rollercoaster ride as both want nothing but the truth from the other.  Their sexual interludes are extremely intense and erotic and almost overwhelm the story in their frequency.  The eroticism once or twice edges close to violence as each man stakes his claim over the other.The ending of the book puts a perfect bow on Gabe and Angelo's relationship even though it seems a bit too pat and a bit unbelievable.  It was satisfying though and made all of their struggles worthwhile.  With a memorable cast of secondary characters and an intensely emotional storyline this gay-for-you story easily draws the reader in and has me excited to read more from this talented author.3.5 stars
