Review: Almost like an A Matter of TIme book

I have read most of Mary Calmes' books and the A Matter of Time series is one of my favorites.  Floodgates reminds of the A Matter of Time series:  1. Trace (main character - Accountant/Office Manager who is danger many times) reminds me of Jory who ran his own business but found himself in a lot of dangerous situations. 2. Cord (Homicide Inspector protects Trace) reminds me of Sam who was in law enforcement and protected Jory.  3. Alex (Trace's older DEA very protective older brother) reminds me of Dane, Jory's older, successful very protective older brother.In Floodgates, Trace and Cord have been dancing around each other for five years.  Their relationship couldn't progress until Cord was ready to make a commitment and Trace believe he could trust that Cord was ready to have a relationship with him (similar to Sam and Jory).  Add to this a cheating ex-bi boyfriend with danger from his past that puts Trace in danger and we have the catalyst for Trace and Cord to have a chance at a happily ever after.I liked the story - not as much as the Matter of Time books but can see this as a series.  I would be interested in knowing what happens to Alex (the older brother) who is now friends with Dimah, Trace's mysterious business partner whose brother's possible criminal activities puts Trace in danger in the beginning of the story.  Alex goes from not trusting Dimah to going out drinking with him. There also seems to be a story with Evan, the younger, successful actor brother who goes from person to person.I would consider buying other books, if this becomes a series.  If it doesn't, I enjoyed this story.
