This Time It's Personal
Sequel to Lasting Damage
Beckett Book Three
Feeling the strain of lost business thanks to the vicious articles by The Wheaton City Brigade, the city's most inflammatory newspaper, private investigator Tyler Beckett accepts a cold case from Lt. Danny Baxter to fill the gap. He’s less than happy, however, when he learns the case may involve the same man who made him the target for The Brigade to begin Jamie Carroway.
Then a new article uncovers an incriminating piece of Tyler's past, and the level of information revealed proves someone close to him is sharing details no stranger could know. And the verbal attack is only the first. Realizing it isn't just the paper's lead journalist intent on destroying his life, Tyler is forced to hunt for suspects close to home who have motive to ruin everything. But with no leads and no sure course of action, he soon finds himself faced with the need to protect his business and his fiancé, Sean St. Claire, and the very real danger of losing them both in the unavoidable fallout.

R.G. Green
9 books12 followersR.G. Green grew up listening to the continuous tap of a typewriter as her dad threw out page after page of captivating stories, giving root to her love of books and her absolute fascination with writing. Now older, with marriage, overseas living, and a host of wonderful experiences under her belt, the self-proclaimed book fiend has finally settled down enough to give the writing bug its due. Currently living in a small mountain town where peaceful quiet is the norm, R.G. Green now spends her time away from her day job doing the things she loves the most: reading, writing, and spoiling the two barking, fuzzy critters who can make her laugh no matter what.

The first 20% was mostly sex, talking about sex, remembering sex, and sexually teasing mixed with a recap of some key info from the first two books. But it wasn’t fun. The rest of the book wasn’t much better. They’re a little old (33) to be almost having sex in a public bar (and not in the bathroom) and a taxi and having near-phone sex in the office he shares with someone else.
There’s just too much talk of sex and arousal and desire. I get it—they’re hot for each other—but is sex all they want from each other? Sean’s allegedly the love of his life but nothing is shown or talked about other than sex and trust. The latter in particular is huge but there has to be more. How did he earn so much trust from Sean? He seems terribly immature to me.
There’s way too much from the bad guy’s perspective, too. I get the point—he hates Tyler. I didn’t like Tyler that much actually. He and Sean were way too self-absorbed when they were around each other. They kept making people wait for them while they were making out. And they were always horny and barely able to control themselves.
Again, only two women, one barely on page and the other evil. Why why why?
Ugh. There was no danger or peril or suspense outside of the general question of what would happen next. I read this series because of the excitement and near-death and hospital scenes. This did not live up to it at all.

On the one hand it was good to read all 3 books back to back, so I had no problem remembering stuff from previous books:) On the other hand it became clear how similar all the books were written. First, every book started with a prologue finding our two MCs in bed, showing how great they are together. Then the whole thing is told from Tyler's 3rd person POV, sadly thrown in every now and then the POV of the respective bad guy, which got more aggravating the longer I read the books. Then there was the recurrent theme of the annoying Madison Huff, who was popping up all the time, but sadly without any reason or context. In the end her whole storyline just fizzled out. All of that was more than aggravating.
The only thing that got me to read on was the relationship between Tyler and Sean, although in this installment I had the impression, that they did not much more than kiss - had a word count on my kindle, it appeared 107 (!) times, so my impression wasn't that far off.
Overall, because of a very nice ending I'll stick to 3 stars.

March 17, 2015It's not fair to write a review when I didn't read it all. This book nearly broke me. I hate not finishing a book and rather than admit defeat I stopped reading for nearly a week. Nothing makes me turn away from books.
