This book sucked me in right from the beginning. The gritty and accurate police situations grabbed my attention. Of course they were overshadowed by tough TO (training officer) Mike Graham and his “boot” Nate York, both LAPD.Mike, definitely gay and in the closet, starts dreaming about his trainee, the sexy blond York. Nate was on the outs with his girl friend and had already recognized that he was never really into sex with women. He had a prior gay experience. When things heated up between him and Mike, Nate was hesitant but wanted to try. I loved how he acted on his feelings.The tension between the two men is incredible – both sexually and while they try to work together and figure out their relationship or their “thing” as Nate calls it.There were a number of cute lines and fun banter between the two. I liked when Nate blurted out that he bought red pillows after Mike characterized his living room as being too beige and looking like a doctor’s office.I think I especially enjoyed how Nate came to deal with his liking men and being with Mike. Although he was younger and more inexperienced than Mike, he had the confidence to go after what he wanted and to move their relationship forward.Looking forward to reading more by Sam B. Morgan.
