This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Josh has done it again: he’s gripped my attention from start to finish with great, memorable characters, given them a scary yet intriguing mystery to solve, in a creepy, atmospheric house in Vermont, inhabited by a motley assortment of equally creepy residents. But most of all, he’s created a convincing love story, with two people who start out as different from each other as can be, but who turn out to be a strangely well-matched couple. One of the pleasure of reading this book is following the ...more

I am quickly becoming a Josh Lanyon fangirl. Yes, his books have a formula – a big alpha male and a sick/disabled/weaker man who has great inner strength (usually with a mystery thrown in). Now I have loved mysteries since I was a kid and got my first Nancy Drew book and I still love to read mysteries.

Another good one from Josh, but what else should I expect.

Loved Perry. He may be small and he has some problems but he knows what he wants and goes for it.

Nick is a sweetie but I knew he was a goner when he started getting all protective and possessive right from the start.

Good mystery but WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TREASURE? It was found but then nothing was said about where it was going or who was getting it. Or did I just miss that somehow?

*4.5

As I hoped, this is so Lanyon XDD Intriguing, details, and sweet. I really feel the connection between the two boys. You were drawn to the story until you couldn't stop and wondering what the hell happen next?? the romance itself wasn't some cheesy love story, you got the angst, the dilemma and the love of course. ...more

Shelves: mm-romance

a well written mystery with the heartwarming love story inside, involving a 23-years old asthmatic boy, ex NAVY SEAL, and a bunch of eldery obsessed with hidden treasure.
