I am glad friend let me borrow this story on Kindle, because it will not be a reread.It is hard to grade this story, so lets try to separate what I liked and disliked.I really liked police stuff. I cannot testify to the realism of it, but it most definitely felt realistic and very very different from the multitude of the stories about cops in this genre out there. It was just everyday stuff, not flashy you know? I guess I would describe it as every day heroism, not the one you see in movies about police.I really enjoyed Mike and Nate together, they had great energy and they were hot, but that is going to lead me into what I did not like or more like what I did not get in the story.Where was it? The story I mean? I finished the story and still was not sure what the story was trying to tell me. Police every day work is hard and dangerous and not glamorous? Eh, okay, but where is the main theme, the main conflict?Mike and Nate resolve their doubts awfully fast (and please do not get me started on the suddeness of Nate deciding that he is gay), and there is no tension between them besides while they are in bed. And boy they are in bed a lot.I appreciated that they talked at the end and did not prolong what potential misunderstanding could have happened, but it felt like several times potential conflicts popped up and went exactly nowhere.I will definitely look for more stories by this writer though.Oh and thank you writer for not demonizing Nate's girlfriend, that was really appreciated.
