Excellent characters with a sound plot and a killer ending! ( ) This is a book I've put off reading for some time because I thought it contained a cliff hanger ending. However this isn't the case... there's more of a "there's more to come" feel, rather than an open ending or cliff hanger. I loved the relationship between these guys in all the different stages. The annoyance, humour, care, angst was all very well handled and written. Just the way I love it. The one thing that made this a stand-out read though, and what elevated it in my opinion at least, was the fact that the "who-dun-it" part of the story was extremely well done. I honestly didn't know who it was, until it was revealed in the book. And let me tell you, that's not an easy thing to do! So, very well done, Lisa. Having said that there's not an open ending, I'm still glad that I have the next book waiting to go immediately. I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to Will or Scott just yet. I'm trying to think how I want to rate this because there were things I loved and things I hated. But while I ponder my rating and future review let me just say if this book was given anything more than a spell check, I'll eat paper. Seriously, the 'editor' should be fired. However, I was absolutely addicted to reading this crazy story & kept tapping my Kindle furiously to read more while my eyes went like this: O_o The sex was hot as hell when there weren't 8,000 ellipses thrown in. Scott Turner & Will Harrison don't need an italicized nickname every 2 pages, as well. That epilogue cracked my shit up & I got all excited until I read there won't be a sequel. Then, I got I don't know I guess annoyed. BUT, with all of that mentioned I found this book ridiculously addictive and amusing. It was like Melrose Place/CSI/Nip Tuck and a combination of numerous other OTT shows. Good, solid fun. I just, I'm not, I don't even know what to say. I'm going to write the review for the book up until the epilogue first: This was exactly what I was looking for: a good cop story, with intense love, danger, a killer who really wasn't obvious until the end (even though I thought it fairly predictable, I wasn't sure at all who the killer was). The pace was excellent, I couldn't put the book down. Usually I'm checking regularly to see how much longer a book was, but I pretty much forgot to even check as I read. There were a few tropes that annoy me, like how fast the trial happens and is over, the overly touchy-feely gay men, the ease with which they get into and are accepted by the community, how easy it is to just buy a house and move in a week after you're accepted and it's fully furnished, etc. But I accept the creative license with these. The characters were mostly interesting and not black and white for the most part. The two guys were really sweet and cute, and while they were both blinder than an eyeless shrimp, their misinterpretations do make sense most of the time. I really like that it's two closeted gay guys and not the GFY, which I hate. Plus, the sex was really hot. There's lot of action and enough danger and intrigue that it worked for me, and I'm pretty demanding, sick fuck that I am. I was going to rate it 4.5 stars plus one because the author got that the expression is "if you think such and such, you have another think coming." Most people get that wrong and it's a huge pet peeve of mine, so kudos to her. THEN I read the epilogue which just pissed me off. There better be a sequel and this not like some horrible horror novel that leaves you hanging just to keep you scared. The only good thing about it is that it cleared up a plot hole: So as not to scare you, I'll tell you that the epilogue doesn't have anything to do with the MC's romance. So now I'm thinking of rounding my 4.5 stars down because of that. But then I think that if I knew for sure there would be a sequel, I wouldn't round it down. So I'm going to be nice and keep it rounded up to five stars. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
