BLURB:
Teen shelter volunteer Rich searches for love until Diego, from LVMPD Search and Rescue, finds him.
After declaring his love life officially dead, Rich wonders if maybe he should stick with his shifter book boyfriends instead. It’s not as if he has much free time to date anyway. Between working long hours at a coffee shop, guarding his sodas from his hygienically challenged roommates, and running the programming at the Vegas LGBTQ teen shelter he founded—how could there ever be space for love in his life?
Diego Espinoza enjoys taking his downtime from working Search and Rescue, at the Lucky Cup coffee shop. He can set up his laptop, peruse good sport climbing spots and observe the blond barista he’s been pining over for a while. He imagines that the pretty boy has more offers than he knows what to do with, so it takes Diego time to work up the nerve to approach him. Rich isn’t so sure about the rough-looking Diego—even if he’s always thought he was hot—but once he decides to gives Diego a chance, there’s an immediate heat and connection that takes him by surprise. As they learn more about each other and try to find the way to a future together, strange and scary things start to happen.
It isn’t until Rich is injured in a bizarre accident that it becomes clear that there’s someone out there who not only doesn’t want Rich to find love—they want him dead.
Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of light bondage.
REVIEW:
This is book six in the Sin City Uniform series and tells Rich’s story. I absolutely loved Rich’s character and wondered if we were going to learn more about the sweet, smart and sassy coordinator at the shelter that kept Austin in line.
Rich is a young guy who like too many LGBT kids tossed it of their homes for being who they are. He was fortunate that he was able to have someone in his life to step in and take on the role of mother who took him in and sheiks him love, acceptance and affection. He in turn decided to pay if forward by helping teens who find themselves in the same situation he was in.
Rich is a wonderful man who works hard, treats people kindly. He gives so much San asks for so little if anything in return. He absolutely deserved someone who would see and appreciate that.
Diego was a surprise. He was like a gift you unwrap and you’re expecting one thing but get something completely different. Something better. Diego looked like a tough biker, but he was quiet and kind of shy. I like a bit of shy man. These two were absolutely perfect with each other.
Rich and Diego are these two sweet and loving men who give so much of themselves to others; dedicate their lives to others. As with the others in the series, this story was a smooth, enjoyable read. The length is perfect; not too long and not too short. You get a wonderful balance of mystery and suspense, action and passion, and of course you get a sweet and well deserved HEA.
I love this series and these characters and I am looking forward to reading whose story comes up next. I definitely recommend this series.
