Andrew Grey
Contemporary MM Romance
Fisher Moreland has been cast out of his family because they can no longer deal with his issues. Fisher is bipolar and living day to day, trying to manage his condition, but he hasn’t always had much control over his life and has self-medicated with whatever he could find.
JD Burnside has been cut off from his family because of a scandal back home. He moved to Carlisle but brought his Southern charm and warmth along with him. When he sees Fisher on a park bench on a winter’s night, he invites Fisher to join him and his friends for a late-night meal.
At first Fisher doesn’t know what to make of JD, but he slowly comes out of his shell. And when Fisher’s job is threatened because of a fire, JD’s support and care is more than Fisher ever thought he could expect. But when people from Fisher’s past turn up in town at the center of a resurgent drug epidemic, Fisher knows they could very well sabotage his budding relationship with JD.

Fisher Moreland lives a quiet, lonely life; spending each day just going through the motions. A car accident left him with a permanent brain injury that is only exacerbated by his bi-polar diagnosis. He has episodes you could say, lapses in memory or extreme bouts of depression. When JD, one of Carlisle's finest, finds Fisher camped out on a park bench he is intrigued. An invite to dinner gives JD reason to get to know more abut Fisher. Both men have their secrets as well as a family that has turned their backs on them. The attraction is mutual, but Fisher is determined to push JD away, not wanting the vibrant cop to be saddled with a bi-polar manic depressive partner that has short term memory issues. Fortunately, JD doesn't give up quite that easy. Unfortunately, both men's past literally shows up on their doorstep, determined to stir up trouble and try to tear these two apart before they can even get started. If you follow my reviews then you know how much I just love this Author's work... this story is no exception. One of the many things I enjoy about Grey's writing is the amount of research he puts into his stories to truly represent whatever the arc for any given storyline is. That, coupled with his keen eye and attention to detail make him one of the best writers in the genre, in my humble opinion. I know people that have the same diagnosis as Fisher and I was amazed with how accurate Grey's descriptives when it came to Fisher, his episodes and struggles with his condition were. Add to that the stress of entering into a relationship with JD, and then the danger that has followed Fisher as the result of a bad choice he made in the past and it's literally a recipe for disaster. JD becomes a beacon for Fisher, a shoulder to lean on, he makes it perfectly clear that he is there for Fisher even when Fisher continues to push him away. In the end they take strength from each other to create their own place in the world. Definitely a must read, and while I always recommend reading any series in order, you can read this one as a stand alone and not be lost at all. |

ReplyDeleteI've been very lucky this year, I've read a lot of great books, I'm not sure I can choose one, I loved Hexbreaker by Jordan L. Hawk, Fish and Ghosts by Rhys Ford, Dark Space by Lisa Henry, Guardian Angel by Hayden Thorne, My Prince by Anna Martin... and I can go on!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite so far has been Enemies of the State: The Executive Office by Tal Bauer. This one was so far away from what I normally read and a new to me author also! Loved it! So many other great ones that I have read and a few that I didn't. Great year so far for books!
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. There are so many I've found excellent reads this year. I'll go with A Solitary Man By Shira Anthony and Aisling Mancy.
