Description

Soren Buchanan feels trapped by his relationship with the dangerous and sexy Jolina Miciano. But his controlling father, crime boss James Buchanan, does not want Soren to end his relationship with Jolina as this union has the potential to make James more powerful than he already is. Moving from that premise Soren does decide to stop seeing Jolina as Soren is unwilling to be a pawn in his father's game. Then an FBI protector becomes involved with a mission to hide Soren Buchanan. This leads to taut action and intriguing characters all developed by the author of the successful title DISCREET YOUNG GENTLEMEN. A good read for the gay community.

I really liked this story (which was picked for me in the m/m romance group monthly challenge). Never having read anything by this author, I was quite curious - and, as it turned out, not disappointed.

everything. When he is pushed into a relationship with Jolina, a woman picked by his father and a terrorist, he finally decides to leave and talks to the FBI. The remainder of the book shows his path to maturity, as he realizes that he has to become his own man. Not just for his own self respect and well being, but so he can stay with Mason, the man who was originally hired to protect him.

The process of Soren realizing who he is and taking a stand, with all its back and forth, kept me glued to the pages. The writing was entertaining and the characters real. Definitely worth a read!
