Copping An Attitude
Morticia Knight
Vegas is filled with human cast-offs, yet officer Parker McLean sees something special in hustler Slade Wolfgang. Unfortunately, so does Slade’s pimp who wants to sell him overseas in the sex trade.
Hustler Slade Wolfgang has little choice over his fate. At the age of twenty, he’s had to survive any way he can since being thrown out of his home for being gay. As soon as he hit Vegas, Slade was lured into the hopeless world of prostitution where he’s become a virtual prisoner to his pimp, the ruthless Julio Estevez. His evil keeper has even threatened to sell Slade overseas as a sex slave.
It’s another typical night on the Strip when Parker comes across Slade. His heart breaks every time he sees someone so young being exploited. Something in Slade’s eyes tells Parker the young man might be in real trouble though – especially after the recent spate of sex worker killings from a rival prostitution ring.
The two men’s lives become intertwined when Slade is almost beaten to death. The danger grows, but so does the relationship between Parker and Slade. Parker helps Slade to heal from the horrific attack and their bond deepens. But the human traffickers are still out there – and they’re still looking for Slade.
Publisher Advisory: Scenes of violence and a brief scene of sexual abuse. Although part of a series, this book can be read as a standalone.
Excerpt
What am I doing?
He pressed his lips together. Obviously, he was attracted to Slade. Slade was either attracted to him too or was simply very needy and scared. It probably meant that if Parker allowed himself to get too attached to Slade emotionally, he was going to end up with a heaping dose of crushing heartbreak. He figured it probably served him right for hurting Brett—even if he hadn’t meant to.
He remembered what Beau had said about not giving Slade hope where there was none. He took a deep breath, certainty filling him more than it had since he’d first stumbled upon the scared young man out on the Strip. He would be there for Slade however Slade needed. If that meant that he only wanted friendship or a mentor or whatever—even if it was only temporarily—Parker would gladly fill that role and not expect anything else.
“You’re all kinds of interesting tonight, McLean.”
The drone of the scanner had been the backdrop to Parker’s thoughts and he’d completely tuned out the fact that Darren was in the cruiser with him as well.
“Shit. Sorry. I’m pretty exhausted. I haven’t had much sleep.”
“So I heard.”
Parker straightened in his seat. “Excuse me?”
“It’s spread all over the station. Everyone’s been asking me about it.”
“What has spread?”
Sounds like I have a fucking disease or something.
“That you stayed at the hospital with Slade.”
Parker wasn’t sure how to respond. His first concern was that Sergeant Lopez would think he’d been lying when he’d spoken with him about Slade and the nature of their relationship. It would be tough to explain that.
“Okay. So I stayed at the hospital with him for a few hours. Who cares?”
Darren gazed out of his side of the window. “Quite a few people apparently. Sure is hard to control the gossip at that place. Yup. Helps if the people who’ve always had your back know what the fuck is going on.”
Parker couldn’t control a heavy sigh. “Look, Darren, this is all very sudden for me as well and I honestly don’t know what’s happening or what might happen. All I do know is that I can’t abandon him right now. He deserves a shot at a decent life if nothing else.”
Darren turned to consider him. “And where do you fit into that picture?”
“I don’t know if I do. But I’ll be there for as long as he needs me.”
Darren shook his head. “This all sounds like a horrible made-for-cable TV drama in the making.”
Parker grunted, tired of all the heaviness of the week. “Hey. I happen to like made-for-cable dramas. There’ve been some really good ones.”
He chanced a sly peek at Darren and was relieved to see his buddy grinning. Darren glanced over at him. “You’re an idiot.”
“Probably.”

Review: Slade Wolfgang succumbs to the lure of the big city lights of Vegas after being thrown out by his family when he comes out to them. He didn’t realize the struggle it would be to make it on the strip, and now he is under the thumb of a ruthless pimp that whores him out to the highest bidder. Slade wants out, he wants his life back, but Julio has other plans for his hot, young hustler.
Parker McLean is drawn to the fear that permeates off Slade when he attempts to arrest him. All he can think about from that moment on is saving and protecting the gorgeous young man from whatever it is that has instilled that fear in him. When Slade is shot and then attacked in his hospital room by his psychotic pimp, Parker moves him into his home, and into his bed. All the time Slade spent on the streets and under the thumb of Julio has made him hard and untrusting and when he misinterprets something he sees at Parker’s apartment, he runs, right into the clutches of Julio.
Julio plans to sell Slade to a human trafficking ring, but one Vegas city Cop has different plans in mind for the scared shitless former hustler, that just wants to be loved. Will Parker find Slade before he’s sold and shipped off to parts unknown? Or will their romance fade like Slade’s hopes and dreams when he came to the city of lights?
Knight is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the M/M genre, that at times can be tedious and repetitive. She continually brings fresh and gritty storylines and characters to her books. Sin City uniforms promises to be a gripping series full of sexy cops, firemen, hustlers and pimps with the backdrop of the beautifully deceptive city of lights we call Vegas. The scenes on the strip are so well written and described that I can literally visual myself being there with Parker and Slade. Then there is the character development and emotions that jump right off the pages and really endear the reader to the characters.
If you are a fan of sexy men in uniforms, drama, suspense, insta-love and some pretty smexy romance then this is a must read series for you. This is the second book in the Sin City uniforms series, but if you won’t be lost if you haven’t read the first book. I do suggest reading it though as it’s the story of the emotional beat cop and his brooding, sexy fireman.
