BLURB:
When Jason Constance rescued a busload of kidnapped children, he didn’t expect a parade. He didn’t expect to be hunted by mobsters and the military either. Wounded and half out of his mind, Jason finds himself at the tender mercies of an angel-faced nurse named Cotton.
Cotton has just flunked out of porn, and as far as he can tell, he’s flunking life too. Having an injured colonel in his bed seems par for the course, but he’s too busy keeping Jason alive to question how fate brought him there.
But fate isn’t done with them. When they go on the run from the mobsters who shot Jason, there should be no time to fall in love, but neither man seems suited for an average life—or relationship. Jason and Cotton can probably survive homicidal mobsters and rogue military operations. The question is, can they survive the work they’ll have to do to forge a place just for them?
REVIEW:
Jason is a man who puts everything on the line to do what’s right. He thinks he will always be alone because of it. But he never counted on Cotton falling into his life.
Cotton’s not sure he can ever recover from the trauma he’s suffered in his life, but he’s going to try. He’s got some good friends on his side but he’s not sure where his path will lead him, until Jason is dragged through his door. The bleeding and barely concious and absolutely gorgeous solider become the only thing Cotton can think about.
For a book with so much violence, it’s awfully sweet. Jason and Cotton are two men who are absolutely determined to take care of each other, even if it means letting each other go.
I love Burton and the other guys and gals who help keep Jason and Cotton safe. John and the other guys from Johnnies are pretty wholesome for guys who spend their time making porn. It would be nice if real life were more like these wonderful books.
I loved seeing Cotton grow as he becomes more confident in himself and the things he can do. Jason spends a lot of time caught between what he wants to do and what he thinks he should do. It’s a good thing he’s got some friends with some awesome advice to help him figure thngs out.
Amy Lane has an amazing voice as an author. She somehow manages to make me laugh and cry all on the same page. I will admit that I haven’t read all the books that the characters in this story have appeared in, but it really doesn’t matter. She gives them all enough depth that the book stands on its own, but I will read the rest one day. It’s not like it will be a hardship.
Ms. Lane does steamy very well, but I appreciate that she doesn’t rely on sex to carry the storyline. I’m finding that while I can appreciate a good sex scene, I enjoy the characters who talk and work things out the hard way most of all.
If you’re looking for something sweet that also give you some thriller vibes, I heartily recommend Constantly Cotton. It swept me along and I couldn’t stop reading until it was done…and that doesn’t happen very often for me these days.
