For two such powerful men, we are shown vulnerabilities in them which up to now weren’t explored.

The relationship between Hunter and Cam is so much more complicated than “romance” suggests. This first book in the investigations series is a police procedural as much as a romance. In fact, Hunter was the last one to have any interactions with her there, and they weren’t good. And that someone was a Dominatrix at the club Hunter is a member of. In this book, we get to see Hunter in a new light, another facet of his personality is revealed, and we see what a good detective he is. These characters are so complex, there is such a depth to Adira August’s writing that she once again draws us into the world of her MCs, and takes us on a roller coaster ride of love, horror, joy, and tension. We really start to intimately get into Hunter and Cam’s headspace in this book. Review: The relationship begins to deepen for Hunter and Cam, the dance has begun in earnest, and the chemistry, the tautness of their interactions keeps your interest right where August wants it, and that is on Hunt and Cam. Now Hunt has a fresh body and a new puzzle to solve in twenty-four hours if he wants to find a killer. Some people are SO deadly serious about their games. Detective Sergeant Hunter Dane, reigning champion, looked forward to a relaxing evening to start his 3 days off. Relaxed and informal, highlighted by the weekly Matchstick Challenge game.

It was munch night at the most elite underground BDSM club in the Rockies. Great character driven novels that are well written and contain a depth of story are hard to come by, but these books fit that bill to a tee.
