BLURB:
What’s a little danger when there’s a sexy man dying to keep him safe?
After deciding his love life is worse than a disaster film, Rich wonders if maybe he should stick to his book boyfriends instead. It’s not as if he has much free time to date anyway. Between working long hours at the coffee shop, guarding his sodas from his hygienically challenged roommates, and running the programming at the Vegas LGBTQ teen shelter—how could there ever be space for romance?
Diego enjoys taking his downtime from working Search and Rescue by hanging out at the Lucky Cup coffee shop. Nothing relaxes him more than perusing the Internet while pretending he’s not watching the blond barista he’s been pining over for months. 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 rugged, older Diego—even if he’s always thought the guy was hot. But there’s an immediate heat and connection between them that takes him by surprise. Unfortunately, now that Rich believes he might finally get a chance at an ever after, danger seems to stalk him wherever he turns.
Someone in Sin City not only doesn’t want Rich to find love—they want him dead.
REVIEW:
This is book six in the Sun City Uniforms series and is a re-release. I enjoyed this book just as much as I did the first time. This re-edited and extended version was awesome. The changes were subtle, but noticeable. The story still flowed well, the characters still engaging. I didn’t like the new cover as much as I liked the first edition’s cover but it was still beautiful.
Diego was so much more…sexier in this version. Don’t get me wrong, he was just as sexy in the first version but in this one, it was more sensuous, the seduction slower. And I’m not just talking in the sexual sense. Diego’s seduction started way before they made it to the bedroom. It was in the little touches, the looks, in the way he put forth the effort of getting to know Rich.
And Rich’s character is written beautifully. He’s hardworking and kind. His desire to help LGBTQ teens is just a wonderful thing to read. The author not only brought them to life but made them admirable in addition to lovable. She made sure to show the reader that these men, these strong, hardworking and kind men were beautiful outside as well as within.
The storyline stays consistent throughout the series; each book smoothly transition to another. Ms. Knight does an excellent job of maintaining her characters. She expertly incorporates all of the characters into the current books without losing focus of the main characters.
I truly enjoyed this book and this series. I enjoy this author’s work.
