    About this ebook

    It’s almost Christmas, and Emery Hazard finds himself face to face with his own personal nightmare: going on a double date with his partner—and boyhood crush—John-Henry Somerset. Hazard brings his boyfriend; Somers brings his estranged wife. Things aren’t going to end well.

    When a strange call interrupts dinner, however, Hazard and his partner become witnesses to a shooting. The victims: Somers’s father, and the daughter of a high school friend. The crime is inexplicable. There is no apparent motive, no connection between the victims, and no explanation for how the shooter reached his targets.

    Determined to get answers, Hazard and Somers move forward with their investigation in spite of mounting pressure to stop. Their search for the truth draws them into a dark web of conspiracy and into an even darker tangle of twisted love and illicit desire. And as the two men come face to face with the passions and madness behind the crime, they must confront their own feelings for each other—and the hard truths that neither man is ready to accept.

      I love this book. However, this is not a stand-alone book. You need to read the other two books in the series. This book happily solves the murder that occurs, but the overall arching plot that began in Book 1 will not be concluded in Book 3. Luckily, the series is complete, so there’s no real cliff hanger since you can move onto Book 4. Also, this is primarily a thriller/mystery book with a romantic subplot – the unresolved sexual tension between the two main characters will not be resolved in this book, so don’t read this if you are looking for a quick instant relationship. But don’t worry, there are still some hot sex scenes and wonderful delicious sexual tense moments.

      The relationship between John-Henry Somerset and Emery Hazard makes me want to pull out my hair in frustration and squeal in delight all at the same time. Why do I love these two men together?? They are obviously not good for each other, yet, they are perfectly matched puzzle pieces. I never thought I would love a series-long slow burn, but I can’t get enough of these two. Poor Nico, he knows what’s going on, but he’s still sticking with Hazard. Everyone is making bad relationship choices, and I can’t wait to see how this all gets resolved.

      The mystery was fantastic – a delve into the more disturbing side of familial relationships. It was cleverly paced and everyone was suspect. Throughout the case, we learn more about the secrets both Somerset and Hazard are hiding, and things begin to make more sense while also becoming way more complicated.

      I loved this book, and I’m obsessed with this series now. I wished it came in a bundle because I’m annoyed I have to take the time to go and download book 4 onto my tablet. I highly recommend this book and this series.
