This is really more of a novella, but Josh Lanyon manages to put in lots of action and emotion into this book, which is not only a beautiful stand-alone romance...but also sets the stage for the remaining books of the series. I love her books...all her books. Josh Lanyon is a master at creating a sense of place, and painting characters who feel so alive and make us care for them. A crashed plane...a dead hijacker...and a backpack full of money with three gun carrying people looking for it and instead finding our two guys who only wanted to go camping and explore their growing friendship and feelings that are much more than mere friendship. For being a short book, it deliciously sets the atmosphere for Special Agents Will Brandt and Taylor MacAllister to maybe have “more” with one another. ( ) Uhm... not the Josh Lanyon I was looking for. It was so different. The story involved more sex and feelings and relationshippy stuff than any other JL book I read. The focus was not on the crime-solving. And even that part was OTT, which in not entirely unusual I admit. And I didn't like the writing either. 3rd person dual pov and I had a hard time telling them apart. This must be one of the author's early works. And if so, she got way better over time. It was interesting and exciting enough that I kept going back to it. And since I already have the whole bundle I will continue.... after I finish my faves from the author. 2.5 stars rounded up 2.5 stars WTH did I just read? Seriously. I didn't think a day would come I will write a negative review for a Lanyon book, but here it is. First of all, I expected this to be a mystery in a real Lanyon fashion and what I got was an action movie (?), which played a significant part in my disappointment. Had this been an enjoyable read I would have rated it highly despite my expectations. But since it was not, my unfulfilled expectations only added to the frustration. The only mercy is that it was short and that the writing flowed. The two sex scenes in the book were frustrating. The plot was okay, just not my thing. I rarely like action packed books, and this was no exception. It was hard to suspend my disbelief at times, Anyways, this was a very disappointing read for me, and I don't think I'll continue reading the series.
