Searching For Shelter (Sin City Uniforms book 6) by @MorticiaKnight | Review, Excerpt & Giveaway { @PridePromo

Teen shelter volunteer Rich searches for love until Diego, from LVMPD Search and Rescue, finds him.

After declaring his love life officially dead, Rich wonders if maybe he should stick with his shifter book boyfriends instead. It’s not as if he has much free time to date anyway. Between working long hours at a coffee shop, guarding his sodas from his hygienically challenged roommates, and running the programming at the Vegas LGBTQ teen shelter he founded – how could there ever be space for love in his life?

Diego Espinoza enjoys taking his downtime from working Search and Rescue, at the Lucky Cup coffee shop. He can set up his laptop, peruse good sport climbing spots and observe the blond barista he’s been pining over for a while. He imagines that the pretty boy has more offers than he knows what to do with, so it takes Diego time to work up the nerve to approach him.

Rich isn’t so sure about the rough looking Diego – even if he’s always thought he was hot – but once he decides to gives Diego a chance, there’s an immediate heat and connection that takes him by surprise. As they learn more about each other and try to find the way to a future together, strange and scary things start to happen.

It isn’t until Rich is injured in a bizarre accident that it becomes clear that there’s someone out there who not only doesn’t want Rich to find love – they want him dead.

I’ve been wanting this story for a while now, being a fan of the series and having read every book, I see Rich in the background and have eagerly waited for his time to come. Rich may be young, but he has a good head on his shoulders. He volunteers constantly at the shelter, takes classes at the local college and works full time at the Lucky Cup Coffee Shop. His schedule doesn’t leave much time for dating but when he does, one disastrous date after another leads Rich to consider swearing off men for a while. That is until the hot guy that Rich can’t help but notice almost daily at the Coffee Shop finally asks him out.

Diego loves his job as part of the Search and Rescue unit for LVMPD being the outdoors type of guy. He even spends his off time hiking and climbing, mostly because he doesn’t have a man in his life. Diego has a sour taste in his mouth as well from past relationships, but there is something about the beautiful blonde at the Coffee Shop that has not only caught Diego’s eyes, he makes Diego want so much more than a one night stand.

These two definitely move fast, but it’s the attention to details that made their instant connection okay with me. Diego goes out of his way to woo Rich. Compliments, dates, conversation, and oh boy can the man kiss! Rich can’t breathe, much less think, when Diego lays his lips on him. I think what I enjoyed most about the relationship between these two was their conversations. Diego especially always paid attention to everything Rich said, which was new to Rich and took some getting used to, but the way they were able to confide in each other from the start, to be a shoulder for each other when they had a bad day. Which happened to them both in the story. I just loved that the relationship wasn’t all about sex. That being said, the sex was fantastic! Passionate, playful, tender and rough. When these two went at it I had to wipe the steam off my kindle.

Fast paced and completely engaging with a little bit of suspense for good measure. If you are a fan of the series, Knight’s work, men in uniforms, or just a hopeless romantic… you’ll love this book too.

**WARNING** This is NSFW and 18+ only and all that jazz.

“Your body, Rich.” Diego took a deep breath then exhaled. “So beautiful.” Diego’s voice was filled with awe. He ran his palms up Rich’s torso, sliding the fabric of his tank along with them, rubbing his thumbs across Rich’s sensitive nipples, making them tighten. “I’m going to play with you, treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Give you pleasure, Rich. Whatever you want.” Diego leaned down, kissing him before removing his last piece of clothing, tossing the undershirt on the floor. He finished Rich off by divesting him of his shoes and socks. He was completely naked to Diego’s eyes, his dick twitching against his abdomen, his breaths coming in short puffs.

Diego straightened, hooking his thumbs under his briefs then tugging them down. When Diego’s ample cock sprang free, Rich gasped. It was dark from Diego’s arousal, rosy and glistening at the head. It was cut, the pulse from the thick vein running underneath visible to Rich. Diego’s scent was strong, clean and male, the dark hair decorating his body adding to his physical perfection. It was enough to be pleasing, but not so much that it didn’t appeal to Rich.

The mattress dipped as Diego placed a knee between Rich’s legs, then used his hands to spread Rich’s thighs.

“Open for me, Rich.”

Diego crawled up the bed until he’d draped himself over Rich’s body, holding himself up with his elbows. He circled his hips, rubbing their cocks together, smearing pre-cum until it coated their hard, silky flesh. Whimpers fell from Rich’s lips and he clutched at Diego’s shoulders as he thrust back.

Diego clamped his teeth on the crook of Rich’s neck, biting down. Rich’s balls abruptly tightened and his climax surged through him, spilling hot seed between them. Diego ground harder, Rich growling as another wave of sensation hit him.

“Yeah, Rich. Gimme that.”

Diego slid down Rich’s body, Rich gasping as Diego gripped his shaft right below the head, squeezing. He moaned while Diego encouraged the last vestiges of spunk from him, massaging his thumb below his glans, pushing upward until more dribbled out.

“That’s it. Gimme all you’ve got. All for me.”

Rich closed his eyes, arching his back. Diego dragged two fingers along Rich’s softening shaft then spread the sticky liquid along the juncture of his hip until he reached Rich’s hole. He circled the cum over his opening, Rich clenching instinctively against the press of Diego’s fingers.

“Relax for me, Rich. Let me in. Gonna keep you hard.”

Rich let out a breath and Diego popped in. He fucked him with the digits briefly, gently grazing his gland, Rich jerking at the overload of sensation. Diego retreated to scoop up more spunk before shoving it inside him once more. Diego repeated the action a few more times, then fingered him until he was erect again, cleaning the remaining cum off his cock and sac with his mouth.

Diego’s sounds were akin to growls as he manipulated Rich’s body the way he wished, lapping and kissing his skin enthusiastically. Rich curled his fingers in the bed covering, occasionally rubbing Diego’s back with his heels. He’d never been taken with such abandon. He never wanted it to end.
