Review: Kane’s boyfriend Ryan is killed in front of him. Stricken with grief what he doesn’t expect is to be stalked with sinister phone calls. He uncovers things he never knew about Ryan and as a result is targeted by ruthless men who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets.
I really enjoyed reading this story. However, I felt there were too many memory flashbacks that distracted the reader. Not to mention that Kane was told that Ryan had incriminating documents on David but all that was mentioned that Kane found was a photograph, so that was confusing. It broke my heart to learn why Ryan was killed and who was behind it.
I felt sorry for Kane not even being given a chance to grieve before he was kidnapped several times and hurt before things finally ended. Intense scenes and dramatic revelations take place in this story.
Looking forward to the next book to see what happens next. Well written story. Good read.
