Life has never been easy for Duncan Stiel. His childhood was the stuff of nightmares, and his day job as an undercover police officer forces him to hide his true self and occasionally lands him in the hospital. So when he finally meets the perfect man, it comes as no surprise that everything falls apart around him. What Duncan doesn't expect is that the hardest hurdle to get over before he can make a life with Aaron Sutter is the one inside himself. Everyone thinks Aaron has it all-looks, money, fame, and success beyond measure. Everyone, that is, except Aaron. At the end of the day, the cameras stop flashing, friends go back to their own lives, company business is handled, and Aaron is always alone. The moment he meets Duncan Stiel, Aaron knows he'll do anything to hold onto the larger-than-life detective. But when he realizes money won't buy him the ultimate happiness, Aaron needs to find the strength to give Duncan something much more important-his heart.… (meer)

It's funny what affects you when you read. It's different from one reader to the next, too.

For me, violent scenes written the way Calmes writes them affect me more strongly than the sex scenes, likely because bad things do affect us more deeply. And man, Duncan takes some hits. Also, while in character, their sex scenes are typical -- it's the dialogue I enjoyed, and their dynamic. They're really great together, sparking and retreating and pulled and pushed until finally they get to their HEA. If you've read the series, you know exactly why Duncan's perfect for Aaron. Not easy. Just perfect. ( )

I really loved this book! It was great to see Sam a little in this book and it was great to see Aaron not be such a jerk. He just fit so well with Duncan and the two of them together were absolutely perfect in my mind. I loved how dominant Aaron has to be in his world (and always has had to be), yet watch him finally find someone he could trust to break down with. Excellent! ( )

My first book by Mary Calmes and might I say, she has a new fan in me.

I love the banter between Aaron and Duncan. How two hot Alpha males can be vulnerable when they finally find "the one". Both are needy and scarred by their lives. They are just looking for someone to love and need them.

But oh my gosh, Aaron would never make it for long in law enforcement. ...and an undercover assignment...NO WAY! Although I would love to see what the heck his scary billionaire face looks like. The secondary cast of characters....they too have their own character and life. They are not just for decoration.

I also appreciate the way MC alludes to the fact that while times and attitudes are changing not everyone is so accepting of same sex couples....but you read of love stories like this one and wonder, how could anyone look down on this?

So yes, my first book by Mary but most certainly not my last. ( )

Cops, romance, cops, sex, cops. It's Mary Calmes, what's not to like? ( )

3.5 stars. I was really excited to read Aaron's book, but his personality in this one just didn't work for me. I thought I'd get over it, but something about his personality seemed off to me, and I don't know what it was exactly or how to explain it. ( )
