John Griffin and Michael South - agents in the renegade counterterrorism agency Last Line, and closer than brothers. It's a fast-lane life of danger and excitement. John loves every minute of it, but he's facing one big problem now: his feelings for Mike have flared up from friendship into a passion he can no longer hide. And Mike, although the bravest and best of partners, doesn't feel the same.Their one sexual encounter leaves them baffled and alienated from one another. Mike is a haunted man, shaken by flashbacks to his past life as an MI5 agent and a mission in Russia that went terribly wrong. He's been left with a need for violence between the sheets, and John isn't prepared to hurt him.Not everyone has Mike's best interests at heart. Their ruthless boss hires a ghost from Mike's past to help track down a Russian war criminal who's planted a nuclear device in the heart of London. Anzhel Mattvei knows all of Mike's dark secrets, and soon regains his former sexual thraldom over him, leaving Mike locked in battle for his will and his soul. Anzhel has turned Mike into a human detonation device. Only John's love can pull him back from the brink - and save millions of lives in the fallout zone.… (meer)

Wow. This is a level deeper than secret agent, with a man who thinks he has escaped a bad situation in a Russian op, and his partner who sees something is terribly wrong. We're given bits and pieces...and what look like miracles...plus Very Bad Guys who are Very Creepy. Just FYI. This one kept me on edge all the way to the end.

I scanned a few GR reviews, and was a bit taken aback by the lack of mention of the supernatural elements. I guess you could ignore them, but why? There is a second book, and I hope it hints at Quin's part. (This one was published in 2011, #2 in 2015, so if there's to be a third, maybe it will come soon? :) )

Given the secret agent plot, CW for guns, killing, torture, etc. ( )

Writing a book about a country/location/language/name you are not familiar with? ASK. A. NATIVE.
Here is "Ask An Expert" link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_folder/249694?group_id=20149 . There is a "Regional Experts" thread. Please, use it.

OK, so where are all the bad Russians Harper Fox keeps telling us about? Because Lucas Oriel is NOT a Russian name. Neither is Mikhaili nor Anzhel nor Mattvei (in that particular spelling) nor Zemelya, for that matter. Three quarters of Russian is misspelled almost beyond recognition. So, I am asking the author again - where are the Russians?
And what nationality are these people pretending to be Russian?
Full star off for that.

The story set my teeth on edge from the beginning, unfolding painfully slow. Constant cautious dancing around poor Micheal made my head ache even worse than Michael's own at the end of the book.
I couldn't figure out why the author insisted on coming up with paranormal elements. Simple brainwashing could have worked much better, in my opinion. However they might explain a Swiss army knife and a small gun that suddenly and very conveniently appeared in Michael's possession after pretend-to-be-Russian-mafiosi thoroughly patted John and Michael for weapons.

the final rating is 2 stars. ( )

Hm, I really wanted to love this one like Harper Fox' other books. But I didn't. It was a little too strange for me and the hero too tortured. ( )
