Review: I Really Enjoyed This Book

This is an unusual M/M Romance book - it is, in fact, a spy thriller wrapped around a gay love story.For me, it was just perfect.I love books that are literate, books that deal with big issues, but I love books like this one too - books that are just a great fun read, like the straight spy and police-procedural books I also like. Nothing in this book is going to solve world hunger, nor will it right the injustices suffered by LGBT people. But it will pass a few hours in straight-out fun.I won't rehash the plot, as other reviewers already have already done that just fine. But I admired the writing, the propulsive energy of the plot, the interesting scenery and the two main characters - both flawed by their pasts, both believing themselves too damaged to love, but both talented and caring people. And the sex scenes were actually hot. I usually skip through them after the first one or two, but I enjoyed reading all the wonderful, gritty detail of these men's couplings.I do recommend this book highly, and can't wait to see what else Barbara Elsborg writes.
