It's not often I actually dislike a book, but this is one of them. It's supposed to be a gay erotic romance but instead it reads like the author was trying to write a paranormal mystery with gay characters and some side sex. I came to dislike both of the main characters and the bad guy was obvious from the first second he was introduced.
*POSSIBLE SPOILER* Stop now if you still want to read the book!
The worst part is the book has no HEA. I was skimming by the time I was half way through and the ending was even more disappointing than the rest of the book. The whole read felt disjointed and forced and I won't be trying anything else by this author.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well-developed and they were the driving force behind the plot rather than a mystery or some outside force acting on them. I enjoyed reading about the relationship between them. It seemed believable and kept my interest the entire book. I was a little leery that the ending would be disappointing since it is obviously the first book in a series, but the author actually did a great job. The book would work fine as a stand-alone read even if you never got around to reading part 2.

This book is a M/M romance according to the info, but there is little to no romance in it. Having said that, it is still an enjoyable read in my opinion, but the plot relies more on exploring the bonds between two soliers. One is gay and the other is divorced and recovering from being captured and tortured. There is sex between them (not very erotic if you are looking for that) and a long term friendship that is strained due to this. If you are looking for love or even hot lovin' this may not be your book, but if you want a pretty good story that happens to have some gay issues it's not bad.

This book was just ok. The main problem was the lawyers. The book has 3 stories in it and in each one the lawyer character was pretty much a jerk. It always had to be their way. They made all the money and had all the great cars, apartments and clothes while the second character was some kind of screw up in some way and needed to be saved or rescued or fixed. The relationships that supposedly developed seemed very unequal to me and I didn't see any of them working out for very long at all. I wanted to like this new-to-me author, but I just couldn't.

I didn't care much for this book. Normally I enjoy paranormal themes in any type of story but this plot was so dark and unhappy that I couldn't enjoy the book. And frankly the paranormal story line was just plain weird and never caught my imagination. None of the characters was very sympathetic and I didn't feel the author had any success creating a relationship or caring between them. I'll probably pass on any other books by this author.

This story is pretty good, kind of like a spaghetti western you watch on some lazy weekend while mostly napping on the couch. You get a good dose of horses, indians, and beans cooked on a campfire. Most unusual, you get two men who love each other and the bad guy is, literally, from hell. As usual in BA Tortuga books you get short, choppy sentences and not much in the way of character development. You don't know much more about the two heros at the end than you did when you finished the first 10 paragraphs. Explanations or justifications for characters' actions or plot elements are left to the reader's imagination. But the story is different and the ending is HEA, what more could you want for a couple hours of entertainment?
