I just finished listening to this audiobook, and all I can say is, I'm glad I waited for the audio! The narrator did a fantastic job of distinguishing each character's voice, and this book will stick with me for a long time. I liked this one even more than the first in this series.

This is what I was left with: The honesty, and vulnerability as well as the reality of the awkwardness and feelings of betrayal, thinking omission protects, but in all actuality just puts a barrier of distrust between ...more

I love how Josh Lanyon tells a story. I love how he creates a character. Elliot and Tucker's relationship blossoms in this novel as they navigate the changing dynamic of dealing with family, work, and crime solving as partners.

One of the things I enjoy when reading books by Josh Lanyon ...more

*sigh* I really love Elliot & Tucker. Can't wait for book 3.

ETA March 21, 2017: For the re-read I listened to the audio version but am reviewing the ebook because I need the page count for a challenge.

I didn't feel like the storyline for this was as strong as Fair Game for the mystery portion. However, I really enjoyed seeing Tucker & Elliot's relationship progress.

I also enjoyed the narration better with switch to J.F. Harding. ...more
