My Rating: 3.5 of 5 StarsRhett and Kaden had been together for 13 years but married almost three. They had seen each other way back in high school and never looked at others since. They have a love that is solid, trusting and full of romance that even surprises them. Rhett is a pilot, had been since an undisclosed age for fear the FAA will have words with him and his grandfather and Kaden is a nurse. Life is comfortable and without angst until Pops calls Rhett in for a one on one regarding their business this is when all things change.Rhett finds himself the co-owner of not only their business but the family estate and this sets things into motion he expected: his mother's unwanted and unsolicited advises laced with sarcasm, threats and malicious intent. You see, Rhett lost his twin sister Annabelle when he was fifteen and this broke their family apart. When his mother chose his fraternal sperm donor over him, he cut all ties and so did Pops.Rhett finds himself between fire and a brick wall and cannot seem to know what to do or think. He is saved by Kaden who guides him through his actions and in the process, trusting his gut instinct, learn that the truths they'd had to live with were not all that true and the lies were not all lies. Apparently, even high up in the air, there are just too many secrets.The relationship between Rhett and Kaden is a wonderful read. They are a very, very solid couple and are not afraid to open up to each other. When things go wrong, each turn to protect and nurture the other, especially Kaden. He started off as the nurturer but he is truly a dangerous man when his husband is in danger. His ability to perceive danger and deal with it is truly extraordinary that he is truly the stronger of the two in some ways. Both men are strong, but there is a balance in their strengths: they don't overlap the other and they are co-dependent.The events unfolding were a bit troublesome but I cannot write spoilers. The tension created by the diva of an unmother is really frustrating and grating at times. Unfortunately, she is a real character as just a simple google search could bring up millions of results - does  not mean I like her - and that is truly what makes the writing of this character extraordinarily good.  Then there were the revelations which I wanted to explore more but was left a bit frustrated in. I would have loved to read more of the revelations and less of the mother truth be told. The noir feel to the rest of the story successfully manages to ante this suspense/thriller/mystery read a bit and made it really interesting. Overall a good read.
