I love almost all of Amy Lane's work...some more than others...but especially her "Fish" series...so when this new series came out a few days ago I pre-ordered it. It sounded like the guys from "Fish" only on steroids... so let's go for it. What a team this turned out to be. I read all 320 pages in one sitting and wished for an additional 320. Judson and Cal are a part of a team that is government run and deeply undercover. They're called in to take the badest of the bad off the streets. Judson is happy with his team and his job. He thought his life was over, but he found this new family who accepts him "warts" and all. He’d thought he couldn’t be happier until Calix, (Cal), Garcia joins the team and becomes the perfect partner on the streets and off them too. Cal didn’t think he’d ever find a place to fit in but miracles do happen! Now he just has to figure out how to help Judson deal with his past so they can maybe have a future. I have never been let down by Amy Lane and this one keeps that record going. Great characters that I fell in love with immediately. A top-notch team of co-workers who are also friends that made me smile almost as much as Judson and Cal. There’s not a character in this book that isn’t interesting and compelling, both the good guys and the bad guys. The storyline is beyond gripping! Once you get started you can't put it down! I couldn’t go to bed without knowing how it was all going to come out. I love a good thriller, and Amy Lane is known to produce some of the best...and this one is no exception. The bad guys were terrible people that had passed themselves off for a long time as good people blending into society to carry out hat dirty deeds. They made me really understand how you can “love to hate” someone. I also loved the fact that the author acknowledged that there are issues that need to be fixed in policing, but still showed us that a lot of people in law enforcement are just doing their best to help the people in their communities and keep them safe. I’ve been trying to think if there was any "down-side" to this story, but I really can't think of a single one! It took a few twists and turns to get there but it one fantastic ride! Amy Lane always gives us characters that are personable and easy to relate to. Judson is sweet and caring and in desperate need of someone who will just love him for who he is. Cal is a caregiver and perfect for the job. The story is sweet... funny...and thrilling all at the same time. I can’t wait for more in this series. ( )
