Review: CONTENT ADVISORY: This title contains scenes of dubious consent, rape, and excessive violence. Warning: extreme content—has snuff films and violence

I really liked this book. I actually read this book before the others, and I was able to follow a long and enjoy it even though there are two books ahead, which I may say I just had to go read.

I am a hopeless romantic and the love between Brandon and Finn is sweet, sincere, and passionate. Finn has a lot of issues and Brandon is a caring respectful lover and is doing his best to help Finn work through his past.

Brandon is a sheriff and alerted that there may be an illegal adult filmmaker in his town doing snuff films. He finds the warehouse and stops a film in progress. He makes some enemies that know about his lover’s past and intend to take revenge on him,

So, does Brandon find this filmmaker? Do the bad guys get their revenge? Does Finn survive? Does Brandon find out what he needs to further his relationship with Finn? I’m not telling you. Go read the book. It’s worth it.

If you like hot sex, angst, loving intense relationships, stories that are out of the box and push your limits, and some mystery, maybe even some BDSM, try this! Oh yeah! How did I forget men in uniforms?

Brandon is one hot sheriff!

Blurb: You never forget your first love, even if you didn’t realise he was.

Sheriff Sean Keller hides a terrible secret – he watched a heinous crime committed eighteen years ago and did nothing to prevent it. Now he finds himself face to face with Eden Gray, the victim of that crime, who is now not so much the boy anymore, but the man. Eden makes Sean sit up and remember those forbidden desires he thought he had locked away forever and the guilt, which has blighted his life.

Review: Sean Keller is the Sheriff of Clearwater Creek. He witnessed a crime involving Eden 18 years ago. He has hidden his secret for all this time since Eden left town. Now Eden has returned and he doesn’t plan to let Sean forget.

I really love this book. It is a bit dark and angsty. There is a deep storyline filled with emotion, twists and suspense.

I loved Sean figuring out his feelings and his love for Eden Gray. I actually was happy at first that Eden and Sean got together, wanting Sean to have happiness and to make peace with his past. I commended him for that and finding how he had loved Eden all these years and carried this burden endeared me to him more (yes, I love the stubborn butthole types).

Eden I wanted to shake sense into him on more than one occasion. I found this story so romantic and even heart wrenching at times. (I am a sucker for heart wrenching romances.) It is definitely not a love at first sight kind of story.

I recommend this story to anyone that loves sexy small-town sheriffs, a nice well-paced character driven romance, some mystery and suspense, lots of angst and some hot mansex. I highly recommend this book.)
