This is another wonderful story from Kim Fielding. The banter between them was real good and the side characters including Colin’s parents are a real joy to read. It was mostly about the day to day lives of our main characters. Guessing the culprit in the serial killing of old people in the story was a bit predictable but the execution was good because the story didn’t really center on it. The story isn’t as intense and as angsty as the first book but it does have its moments especially when they finally realized they are meant for each other. On the exterior and perhaps financially, he is the total opposite of Nevin but both men have good hearts. He came from a rich and very accepting family and has a super adorable cat named Legolas. He actually kind of reminded me of Ash from the THIRDS series by Charlie Cochet. I eventually started to like him at the latter part of the story so all’s good. You have to understand that his childhood didn’t give him much to be happy about. I’m like, seriously, is he always horny? I mean, I get that he’s lonely, I get that he’s stressed but it’s kind of off-putting. I get that he’s commitment-phobic and all that but during the first few chapters, he’s like itching for sex every single page. He’s a typical fuckboy and I don’t like that side of him. I’m not that much of a fan of his character at first. The story overlaps with the first book, Love Can’t Conquer and has an alternating point of views between Nevin and Collin but it can be read as standalone. The question is whether they have the heart to build something lasting. But sparks are short-lived, dampened by the advent of brutal crimes, and Colin and Nevin have seemingly little in common.
But being a witness to a terrible crime-or two-was more than he bargained for.ĭespite their differences, Colin and Nevin discover that sparks fly when they’re together. Maybe it’s time to try something more exciting. Now he’s thinking maybe he won’t just go with the flow. Colin does do relationships, but they never work out. Too supportive, perhaps, since his childhood illness has left his parents unwilling to admit he’s a strong, grown man. Property manager and developer Colin Westwood grew up with all the things Nevin never had, like plenty of money and a supportive, loving family. Until he responds to the severe beating of a senior citizen and meets the victim’s bow-tied, wealthy landlord. He doesn’t take crap from anyone, and he doesn’t do relationships. Now a dedicated member of the Portland Police Bureau, he didn’t let a tough start in life stop him from protecting those in need. Small but mighty-that could be Detective Nevin Ng’s motto.
