I'm a sucker for m/m reads. This one definitely had me hooked.Yes, I know it was corny and cheesy that Gabe found himself being attarcted to Angelo, who he was questioning at the time for the murder of his sister Caterina. Those love at first sight scenes are so overdone in erotica/romance novels but somehow the fact that Gabe was struggling with his attraction because prior to this he had never found men appealing(along with the fact that he had a girlfriend), was both amusing and sweet. It spoke about his character; that naive innocent side of him and I think that's what hooked me.I mean the idea of good cop falling for a supposedly bad ganster who deals with arms trading didn't hurt either.Their love was a whirlwind and the more I found about about Angelo and his dark past and the reasons for his becoming the head of Los Picadores character the more I grew to love him as a character and the direction of his and Gabe's love story. It was sad when Angelo cut a deal and went to jail for two years, but Carlos' death made up for it, even though that time in jail resulted in that etter that led Gabe into another man's arms, if only temporary. I'm glad they had their happy ending; if only now as Gabe and Rafe instead of Gabe and Angelo.I would recommended this steamy, if sweet read to everyone.
