REVIEW:
I swear if there is not a book 3 to this series, I may have to hurt somebody. Like for real lol. You authors and your cliffhangers. You’re KILLING me. Another book that I’m soooooooooo into and all of a sudden BAM! and it’s over. And I’m like whaaaaa? I need more. Don’t leave me hanging! This book, this series is so good. Another mystery where bodies are piling up, the asshole bad guys from book 1 are back, and poor Dominic is in trouble again.
Life can’t seem to get much better right now. He’s married to Jonathan, they are on a beautiful honeymoon. But for them, it seems the honeymoon is over before it’s barely started. Dominic is trying to abide by the open marriage rules, but it’s hard. And not very fair if Jonathan gets jealous if he thinks there’s another man in his life. And to make matters worse, his ex, Bernhardt, is on his way to see him and is leaving him messages and he doesn’t know why. All of a sudden, they are involved in another mystery and lives are on the line. They get involved in a conspiracy that can ruin people all over the world. And has already ruined some. Secrets are coming to the light and Dominic and Jonathan’s new marriage may not make it past the first week or two. They have to fight against the clock to save the world from hackers, illegal programs, politicians, and more before someone gets them.
Not being fond of the ‘open relationship’ thing, I can kinda understand where Dominic is coming from. It puts a strain on the relationship when both sides are not in agreement or communicating or hiding secrets from each other. So things are already a little strained when Dominic’s ex comes on the scene. But before any info can be explained, he’s murdered. And then the crap hits the fan. I tell you, Mr. Dawson has a way with these characters. I will be honest, it took me a few minutes to kind of catch up with what was going on because there are so many people involved and in so many different ways. But it keeps you involved. It keeps you in the book. You can’t put it down. You’re trying to figure out who good or bad. Who belongs to whom and then he sneaks in these little stinkers who are double crossers. Very slick. And poor Dominic. Stuck in the middle yet again and he didn’t ask to be in it. The poor guy is just trying to enjoy his honeymoon. And Jonathan…I don’t know if he’s making things better or worse. What a book.
Pick this book up. Pick this series up. It’s one you can’t put down. I love a good murder mystery. But be forewarned of cliffhangers!!! Grrrrr lol.
