BLURB:

Trapped by the blizzard outside, Hunter Dane & Camden Snow contend with the storm raging inside.

Detective Lieutenant Hunter Dane was dark and damaged and no one of note, except perhaps to a few he’d served well. But somehow life had brought the thirty-five year old homicide cop to the bed of a 24-year-old Olympic Alpine ski champion. Camden Snow was a 7-medal national treasure—handsome, winsome, charming, shy.

The pairing was inexplicable. Ludicrous.

But Cam was the only man Hunt had ever wanted, a relentlessly demanding Dom who’d stripped him of every defense. Who cared for him and brooked no bullshit from him. A sweet kid, a fearless competitor. A talented artist.

A notorious BDSM Alpha male.

Camden Snow could have anyone. At the club, he had only to nod in the direction of a sub and that man would fall to his knees—if he didn’t flee. Full Metal Dom, they’d dubbed Cam.

But from the moment they’d laid eyes on each other over two years before, both men knew someday Hunter Dane would kneel for Camden Snow.

Cam pushed himself up against the headboard, watching for Hunter to come back—the most beautiful man he’d ever seen. Dark and graceful, subtle shadows and streaks of light over long muscles smoothly sculpted over his 6’2” frame. Hunter’s body was one of Cam’s most cherished gifts.

But he wanted more than Hunter’s body. He wanted the thing Hunt had told him he could never give.

“I can’t be what you want me to be … I don’t crave anyone’s company if they aren’t present. I’m not bothered by longings for the presence of a particular person. I don’t—connect.”

But they had connected. Still, Hunter held himself back. He kept the dark places from Cam, the places that spawned his nightmares.

Camden Snow would never settle for only part of Hunter Dane

REVIEW:

Note:  This is the third book in this series and they should be read in order.  Books 1 and 2 set up their relationship and the cases they’ve worked.

After the last case, Hunter is given time off, and so he goes with Cam to his place in the foothills.  No phone for Hunt and a blizzard has them cut off for days with only each other to focus on.  And that they do.  We discover a lot about Cam’s past, his family and his overpowering desire for Hunt.

We also discover what Hunt needs from this relationship – and it’s not what he originally thought it was.  This has his head swimming.  He’s nervous about their personal and professional relationship coming together and how that is going to affect his ability to do his job.  We also learn a lot about the his past, his family, his fears about intimacy and relationships.  And we also see Hunt trying with Cam to forge a new path.

This book is different from the rest of the series in that there is no “case” that has Hunt and Cam consumed not only with each other but pursuing a murderer.  As such, the pacing is a bit different – which I also enjoyed.  This book gives us the background information that helps us understand the motivations of both men as they move forward.  There is a lot more conversation and honesty between these two in this book which I loved.  I felt like we really got to know Hunt and Cam at a more human level in this one which only adds to my obsession with these two. Also they continue to be one of the hottest pairings I’ve ever read.  Recommended and on to book 4!
