BLURB:
When Tony left town, Cane accepted the guilt of having driven the sexy computer whiz away by rejecting him after a night of passion. Now Tony’s back, and Cane wants him more than ever. But nothing’s changed; Cane is still under the control of his ruthless cousin, and getting close to Tony would only draw the young man into the egocentric conman’s orbit. Keeping Tony at arm’s length, however, proves extremely difficult.
When Tony returns to the Hedonists’ clubhouse, he tells himself to stay away from Cane Winters. He knows there’s more to the man than the shallow hunk-of-muscle Cane portrays, but Tony refuses to insert himself where Cane’s made it clear Tony isn’t wanted.
When a twist of fate introduces Tony to Karl Bruder, Cane’s powerful cousin, Tony swiftly becomes embroiled in the hidden side of Cane’s life. Soon the two men realize the full extent of Bruder’s nefarious deeds and begin to work together to bring the man down. This means putting their lives on the line just when their feelings for each other become too strong to deny–which is just the advantage Bruder needs.
REVIEW:
Sometimes who we are attracted to does not make sense because maybe they are the total opposite of what we normally go for. And sometimes we are attracted to the quiet ones, mysterious, broody and growly. They have a certain pull on us and we just can’t help ourselves. For Tony, Cane is this person for him. He is attracted to Cane and wants to get to know and be with him.
They say opposite attracts, right? Or “Still Water Runs Deep.” This tale revolves around these themes. These two characters are opposites. And they are both mysterious, one more than the other.
Tony is passionate. He is a hacker and a young member of the Hedonist. After a particularly hard scene with Cane, Tony decided to leave the club for a little while. When he came back, he promised himself that he will not look for more than what Cane can give him.
Karl Bruder, Cane’s cousin is forcing Cane to convince Tony, who he met accidentally one time, to work for him on a web design project or else Karl will take both Lake, Blaze’s boyfriend, and Tony for his human trafficking business. Somehow, Cane, Tony and the rest of the Hedonists must find a way to stop Karl’s business once and for all.
I have always been attracted to action and mystery in my stories, and to couple that with an MM romance, then you got me! This fifth installment in the series has that and more to offer its reader. Ms. Rebecca James has created this family of bikers who are doing ordinary jobs (well, as ordinary as a porn business could be) while being in a motorcycle club. Their club is their family, no blood relation necessary, just a group of people who love the same things, who understand each other and consider each other family. Just like the previous four books, you are going to love Cane and Tony’s love story. You are going to be pulled in to their sometimes chaotic relationship and root for them.
