Oh, how I love Nicky & Brandon! I can't even begin to tell you the wonderful things this book did for my... um... muse. Yes, my muse (which is currently cuddling Nicky's ropes).

Summary: Nicky and Brandon are back, and this time they're on Brandon's turf.

Nicky's still on disability when he comes to Riverside to visit Brandon and pick up his 'Querida' from the Bakersfield's impound lot. Brandon loves having Nicky around, but at the same time, he's worried someone might find out that Nicky's more than just a friend.

When Nicky becomes involved with the Task Force Brandon's on, the tension ratchets higher as Brandon's paranoia about being outed increases. Will his inability to step out of the closet mean the end of his relationship with Nicky? Or will the danger of the case they're on make it all a moot point?

Find out in this exciting sequel to Cheating Chance.

Why I loved this read: I must confess to being a series whore. I devour books in series like my children devour a freshly-delivered Non-Digiornio pizza. This second book in the Nicky & Brandon series did not disappoint!

James Buchanan, once again, took me on a ride that I did NOT want to come back from. Brandon's insecurities and paranoia about his closeted state are so palpable that many times I felt my own breath hitch when something threatened his 'supposed' safe spot inside that claustrophobic closet of his. Usually, when the closeted character is this deeply closeted I get quickly annoyed with them. Not Brandon. I completely understood his fear. Nicky and Brandon's love is exposed to the reader in such a delectable way that you hurt when they fight and you laugh out loud when they banter. Their steamy sex scenes though... holy mother of all things rope, leather and delicious! Choosing one scene from all the delicious scenes in this book was damn hard (pun intended). I wanted to include the motorcycle sex but... well... you need to buy this book to read that scene. It's Motorcycle sex! 'Nuff said!

Excerpt: Getting and giving at the same time was so good. Nicky was just so good. A warm, thick cock in his mouth sent Brandon into heaven. Nicky’s hot tongue teasing his head put him through the roof. He kissed and licked all along Nicky’s length. It wasn’t like there was any shortage on that. He had the sweet taste of Nicky all over his tongue. “Oh, baby, you taste so good,” he mumbled around Nicky’s prick. The first time he’d gotten Nicky’s pants off, seen what the advertising promised, Brandon had wanted it. He’d wanted it bad. Their first few times together, Nick had seemed all bottom. Not that he wouldn’t have kept Nicky that way, but Brandon had always wanted more. When he’d finally come around to sharing everything it had been incredible. Brandon hadn’t gone looking based on cock. Still, Nicky’s dick was icing on a really nice cake.

Nick sucked him down. Brandon’s hips rose to meet Nick’s lips. He pulled Nicky’s heavy balls into his mouth, rolled them around, while he stroked Nicky’s prick. Everything always got jumbled doing this. Where Nicky’s body ended and his body started melded together. Brandon worked his tongue up between Nicky’s cheeks, spreading Nicky with his fingers. There was a taste to Nick that was indescribable: thick and heady, almost like almonds. He slid his tongue inside and Nicky bucked and moaned. The sound shot frost through his thighs. Then Nicky’s finger worked inside Brandon. It was his turn to moan.
