Talk about preconceived notions. NYPD Detective Anders Nilsen is sure Trey Stoneham is the scum of the earth: a tell-all journalist with a sketchy PI background. But truth is stranger than fiction, and it turns out Trey is a hero twice over.
When a serial killer Trey helped put away escapes prison, Anders has to stick to Trey like glue, which happens to be a job he’d gladly take on for a lifetime.
The road to falling in love is fraught with emotional and perilous landmines, and Trey is fine facing danger – he’s dodged a bullet before. Well, not really, but it didn’t kill him. Falling for a real-life Viking might do him in, and what a way to go.
Unless Trey’s able to face down the demon from his past and put him away for good, happily-ever-after will remain the stuff of novels.
REVIEW:
Well, I’m very sad this series is ending, but it couldn’t have ended on a better note. Especially knowing that the next series is going to start with a character in this book that I can’t wait to see again.
I have to agree, to a point, I didn’t know quite what to think about Trey from that last book. It seemed like he was shady in some ways but when he saved Sawyer, I knew there was more than meets the eye with him. Especially when he was determined to save Sawyer in any way he could. I wanted to smack Anders so many times in this story because man, he did act like a punk so many times because he presumed to know what Trey was all about and he didn’t have a clue.
But what I loved about Anders is he did admit when he was wrong. And he started to see a side of Trey that he assumed wasn’t there, and it was more confirmed what kind of man Trey really was, when they found out his major secret. And Anders really had to admit he was dead wrong. And he shouldn’t have jumped the gun on the kind of person Trey really is. Of course, it doesn’t help with his line of work. Being a cop tends to make you callous and quick to judge someone quickly before getting all the facts.
There were a lot of surprises in this story. A lot of things resolved, a many of things finally laid to rest. And the beauty of it all, another family formed. Not of blood, but of bonds and friendships and through the trials and tribulations they’ve been through. Through acceptance and love and knowing that someone always your back. I hope to get to see these guys again in the new series off and on. I will miss them like the Brighton Boys.
