I loved this, the second book in Patrician Logan’s Aramdillo Series, but I think I am in love with the men from Westburg. It can be read as a stand-alone book ,as the story is completely encapsulated and does not bleed from one book to the next , the only thing tying these books are the characters, who are introduced in one, or appear throughout the series. So when Undercover Nights starts, we have met both Cody and Gage in Leather Nights but they haven’t met each other yet.I will not reiterate the blurb because if you are like me you have read it all already, and it is good, covering the main points, enticing you. The story line is great, there is tension and anticipation built thoughout the whole book, again, ending quite satisfactorily in a big climax. This arc pushes Cody and Gages relationship along at quite a nice pace and the suspense is less of a whodunit and more of a how-are-they-gonna-prove-Gage-didn’t-do-it. There is no doubt who is involved but how they are entwined is one of the unraveling story lines.I love the interaction between the MC’s, Patricia writes with a sense of humour that just tickles my fancy and I find myself sniggering, snorting and guffawing in the most inappropriate places (like at work!!). There were a few things that niggled at me, which is why the 4  rating. There were a few decisions that Cody made that I wasn’t sure about, I suppose I would have wanted just a bit more of Cody’s decision making process within the narrative. Mind you it all worked out well and you understood the why, but there were things set up for Cody that could have been expanded on (not a whole lot or then it would be too much). That could just be me but there you have it.The hotness of these two is again off the scale, (I seriously don’t think that Patricia can write an MC that isn’t hot as hell.) Also the sweetness and honesty come through, once again highlighting just how smexy that combination can be. The scene when Cody explains his “baggage” (which is quite heavy and could be a trigger for some) was beyond enthralling and I was mesmerized from the start, the trust he puts in Gage, and Gages ability to read him, was awe-inspiring. There is still a fair amount of sex talk but this is actually a bit quieter than the other two, which is fitting for these two MC’s.I loved it as you can probably tell. I might just put them on my to visit (in my dreams) list. Gage and Cody and the ongoing characters of Westburg and the FBI continue to pull me back in, and it is a good second installment of this series….
