Maybe Colson Delacourt teasing those nosy ladies in the coffeeshop with the plot of his next murder mystery was a bad idea. But does that mean he deserves to be arrested for attempting to kill his elderly neighbor? Why won’t the police believe he has nothing to do with her getting hurt? That detective Harper Rose won’t listen to him-he’s so annoying and arrogant. And sexy and gorgeous.
Then Colson also becomes the victim of a crime, and Harper is there to protect and serve with his body and lips. But after the suspects are caught, Harper returns again and again, and Colson can’t resist. There’s just something about a man with a badge and a big…gun to make a guy feel safe.
As a detective Harper is fearless, but when they’re together, he’s afraid to open his heart. He’s hiding something…or someone. Harper swears he’s not married and doesn’t have a boyfriend, so why can’t he ever stay the night? The closer they get, the more Harper pushes Colson away, ghosting him for days, then popping up and acting as if nothing is wrong. The disappearing act he keeps pulling isn’t going to work.
Colson knows what it’s like to have half a relationship, and he isn’t going to make that mistake again. He wants to be strong and walk away, but he sees Harper’s gentle, caring side and knows there’s a key that will unlock the mystery of Harper’s hidden life.
Colson wants them to plant roots and make a home. And that can’t happen unless Harper tells him the truth. Should Colson risk his heart for the possibility that they will soar together, or is it time to say good-bye?
REVIEW:
Oh this book is absolutely awesome! For me this is author Felice Stevens at her best.
This story entails so much. It’s exciting, kind and gentle, filled with compasion, light fun, genuine feelings, caring, loving, sexiness and very well written!
The love that Harper has for his brother is so true so compasionate and fullfilling you just feel warm inside and the way Colton responds even from the beginning not knowing who or what is adorable.
Both men feel the attraction towards each other before knowing who they are and what is happening but both were severely burned in former relationships.
On top of that Harper ignores his own needs and wants because of his obligation to his brother David. And Colten struggles with his own rejections from his parents.
As a reader you just feel a connection towards one or both of these men. If it is toward Harper, because of how his life revolves around his brother or towards Colton, who struggles with the behavior of his family but the lovely memories of his grandparents, or both!
I loved the built up in this story, the finding out how they want to be together, the struggles and how to deal with what life throws at you.
If I have to give a small critic note I would mention, I didn’t need so much more noticable sexy stuff towards the end of the book. The story had settled itself already and was made with the terrific storytelling and built up. Of course seeing Colten and Harper finding their way together is wonderful don’t let there be a mistake about that. But what really sold me was their lives and how their story was told.
Of course it is seriously nice that Colton is a writer, I mean come on that is cool! And Harper being a police officer isn’t a bad thing either 😀
Can I just give a shout out to Luis? Gosh I love that guy! Luis you are amazing a rock and a genuinly amazing human being!
Not forgetting Miss Millie and Hogan who definitely hold their part in this “family” both these man created for themselves.
If you are searching for a low angst, sweet and loving story, I can only highly recommend this book. Go and read it yourself and you will know I am right 😉
