This is the first time GA Hauser has melded the genre of which she is Queen, m/m erotic romance, with the popular genre of thriller/mystery. And the result is spectacular. It is a tale of espionage and assassins in Rome leading to a suspenseful and deadly and mysterious chase involving Cody who is an American operative who has been double crossed and is being hunted down by his enemies and possibly by his own organization. Enter three darling Italian street singers/gigolos, Beau who is gay, Eden who is bi, and Roberto who is straight.  Beau sees Cody standing on the balcony of his elegant hotel and is so attracted to him that he finds a way to get together with him and what ensues is a wonderful, deep and abiding love story that results from some extremely hot sexual encounters.  It also results in Beau and eventually Eden and Roberto being targeted by the same assassins that are trying to kill Cody. GA has managed once again to create characters so loveable that they leave a permanent place in your heart while you cannot help but fear for their lives.  A fabulous melding of the two genres and one of the most entertaining and heart stopping stories that GA has written.  It is the peak of this summer's reading and cannot be missed. Buy and enjoy this book, the sooner the better.
