Blurb: Sean Mercado, a rookie Dallas Marshal, and Nicholas Fournier, a Canadian cop, are pulled into Jubilee and Kieran’s lives after a near death experience for Jubilee who is shot during a bank holdup that leaves him seriously wounded.
Former Canadian Special Ops Nicholas Fournier never dreamed making a deposit at a Dallas bank for his ailing aunt would change his life, but it does. He meets US Marshal Jubilee Mason who in turn introduces him to Sean Mercado, a new recruit to the Big D. Nicholas is still reeling from a romantic fiasco where he threw caution to the wind traveling to Texas to meet a guy he communicated with online.
Though planning to fly back home, he’s tempted to spend a little more time with the hunky Louisiana transplant and find out a little more about the US Marshals. He soon finds there’s a lot going on in this hectic Texas City and it ain’t just summer rain.

Review: Sean is learning the ropes of being a Marshal from Kieran, Nicholas meets Jubilee in the middle of a bank holdup, both men meet after Jubilee is shot and a connection is forged between them. Nicholas is visiting from Canada and after meeting Sean and the rest of the Marshals Nicholas decides to sign up and hopefully stay in Dallas, it isn’t long before he discovers just how hectic the Marshals can be. Sean is closeted but it isn’t long before he is hoping for anything he can get off Nicholas… if he can just get him to say the words.
This is an excellent addition to the Orgasmic Texas Dawn series with two new hot beefcakes *urm cough* characters, adding to and expanding the storyline. Nicholas is a genius dedicated to serving his country but also looking for excitement along the way, after meeting Jubilee at the bank in the middle of a holdup he is offered the chance to join the Marshals, well it’s a new adventure and if he can see Sean again, then all the better. Sean is still closeted, but meeting Nicholas sparks something inside him, going out on a limb, he takes a chance with the attraction, but Nicholas starts to shy away and Sean can only pray that Nicholas wants him as much as he wants Nicholas.
I really liked the way that this story was written; it starts from Jubilee and Kieran’s point of views and then smoothly changes to Nicholas and Sean’s perspectives when they have been established. With Jubilee and Kieran it starts with a happy morning with Juan (foster son) which is tainted with frustration and anger when they are turned down for adoption because they are gay, the story then progresses quickly to establish both Nicholas and Sean, but Jubilee and Kieran are with them nearly every step of the way so we can keep a close eye on our sexy Marshals. The storyline is action packed, tinged with excitement, confusion and an act of betrayal and continues with a great storyline right to the very end.
Both Nicholas and Sean are great characters and I can safely say that they will be welcomed with open arms, they are hot, passionate, at times confused, but they always hot for each other. They add new blood and open the story for more exciting plots, in this one the four of them work together to bring down a gun smuggling ring, with Jubilee as a rich Texan, Sean as his bodyguard, Nicholas as a cook and Kieran as a biker… Kieran biker *drool*
I will recommend this one to those who love U.S. Marshals, sexy Canadians, action, gunfights, danger, hot lovin’, and a happy ending.
