Summary

Deputy US Marshal Eli Kohn is doing fine. As the Director of Public Affairs for the Northern District, he represents the USMS in Chicago and that suits him. Yes, it’s wearing to always be on, to smile and wave even in the face of adversity, but he’s good at his job, and no one ever sees him sweat. His personal life, though, has been stagnant, and that doesn’t seem likely to change. But that’s fine too. Eli would much rather spend his free time with his best friend Cel. And lately, when they’re not together, he’s been missing him more and more….

Celso Harrington, principal dancer with the Chicago Ballet Company, has been feeling adrift, yearning for someone to be there for him, to ground him. Strange to find that anchor in a man who caught bad guys for a living. Celso is all about art and beauty; Eli is all about safety and public service. They could not be more different, yet from the moment they met, it felt like they’d known each other forever.

They are exactly what the other needs, and Celso would love them to be more than friends, but he can’t jeopardize what they have, and Eli’s too stuck inside his own head. When events threaten to unravel their carefully built haven, they each must take a chance on the other or risk losing everything.

Enjoyable Story

The concept is interesting and well written. The characters are likeable and the narration is good.

Excellent as always Don’t know what other reviewer was moaning about

Another excellent story. The other reviewer saying this story wasn’t as good as the others, needs their head checked. Love the romance and passion. The sass and snark of the characters was brilliant. Then there was the usual faces to spark happy reading. The only complaint was that the narrator did Ian and Miro’s voices wrong. How they were in the other books, was much how you imagined them in your head in the books. But it doesn’t stop your enjoyment.

First mary calmes book didn't really like

Sorry but narrater didn't work for me.
To much over explaining and over the top dialogue. Couldn't wait to finish book to listen to something else. Disappointed as previous 5 books brilliant. Im able to listen to them at anytime as adventures and personalities of characters so wonderfully written.
