BLURB:

All Gavin Walker, bass player for the multi-platinum selling band, Sphere of Irony, wants to do is surf, play music, and occasionally get laid. The problem is that Gavin has a stalker. A potentially deadly one. The threats he receives always mention something about Gavin being gay, which isn’t public knowledge since the record label wants to keep it quiet.

Mitch Hale used to track serial killers for the FBI. A life-changing incident led him to quit the bureau and start his own company providing computerized security for Los Angeles’ wealthiest people. Mitch doesn’t know anyone when he moves across the country from D.C. to California, and all he has for companionship is a pathetic string of failed relationships with women.

When Gavin’s manager hires Mitch to find the stalker, the men instantly hate each other. Despite the constant fighting, attraction between the two blazes hot, confusing the former FBI agent. Spending time with Gavin forces Mitch reflect on what he’s denied about himself for the last ten years. Listening to Mitch’s plan to catch a madman thrusts Gavin’s personal life out in the open for the entire world to see.

Can Gavin and Mitch stop fighting long enough to stop a stalker before someone gets hurt? Or will they stubbornly resist the feelings that develop when they’re forced to work together?

REVIEW:

Oh my GOODNESS….I was so apprehensive about this one. The blurb sounded FANTASTIC then I realized that it was a part of a series that is solely mainstream romance. My past experience with this sort of thing hasn’t been stellar but there have been some gems so I sucked up my apprehension and dived head first into this story. HOLY HOTNESS!!!! Crap, this author can write some M/M romance….DAMN!!! And it wasn’t just the sex (which was friggin HOT) every scenario was so intense from the drama, the passion, the suspense…everything was so well written! AND the angst was beautiful…I’m a very proud ANGST whore….and this was so beautifully done…I loved the angst!!!!! I was IN IT….from start to finish….once I started it I couldn’t put it down….I LOVED this book!!! Keep in mind, I’ve never read any other books by this author or from this series….I was not lost, not one bit. Everything worked so well…wow…well done!!!

Mitch is an ex-FBI agent who now dabbles in computer security. Doing a favor for his cousin he signs on to consult in a stalking case involving gay celebrity guitarist, Gavin Walker. Gavin has been the victim of a stalker for awhile now but he never really understands the danger he is in. Being thrown together with Mitch is unexpected for Gavin. He’s crazy attracted to the ex-FBI agent and he’s struggling trying to hide it. Things aren’t easy for Mitch either. Having denied all homosexual urges for years, its constant torment to be around Gavin, who is essentially almost irresistible to him.

As the danger intensifies so does the attraction between Gavin and Mitch, and when these two collide….just DAMN!!! From the moment they meet there’s this tension that is built and it’s undeniable.

Being in Mitch’s head is gut wrenching….his denial is heartbreaking and the shame…ugh…I felt his pain….but his surrender is friggin MAGICAL!!! Damn, this author made it all so worth it…everything was worth it….these two together was beautiful.

The mystery/suspense aspect wasn’t obvious, in my opinion, not until later. It was shocking but made sense as things start to work out.

I truly loved everything about this story. I loved the band; their loyalty to Gavin was amazing. Even Mitch had a close circle that made me happy. There was nothing not to love. And even though I don’t read M/F romance I do want to know who Hawke ends up with…that’s how bad this author sucked me into the story. I’ll stalk her just to read the blurb to book 4, LOL!!

Lastly….GET THIS BOOK….!!
