Former SAS soldier, Clay Mortimer, the M in M&W Investigations, had thought
he'd seen it all. But when his ex calls and asks for a favour Clay is intrigued,
and then a bit surprised. He and his partner, Tate Williams, have a robust and
imaginative sex life, but the things they see and learn in Fetish Alley take
their understanding of human behaviour to the next level. Tate's take is part
kid in a candy store fascination, part shocked. At the end of the day, all good
detective work requires an open mind and the skill to ferret out the truth.
Still, the layers of deceit and avarice they encounter are more than par for
the course, particularly from people who are not keen about outsiders to the
world of Fetish Alley
Cat gives this one 5 Meows with a 3 Purr heat index...
This
is a new series from one of my auto-buy authors Susan Mac Nichol. I loved her
Men of London series and Clay and Tate are from that series, HOWEVER, this is
totally different and tough you would know the characters better this
stand-alone just fine.
Clay
and Tate have a Private investigation business and Clay gets a call from a
friend and ex-lover that has opened a big fetish club at the end of what is
known as fetish alley. This is a mystery suspense, kind of erotic street cozy.
There is a few twists and turns but the best part is all the crazy shops and
funny banter between Clay and Tate then at the end we get more crazy fun
between Aurelio and Tomas. I wonder if they are book two.
If
you like English settings, fetish, established couples, mystery, and furries
(not the four legged kind) or just a good old romantic mystery that will keep
you laughing this is for you!
Excerpt
Clay let go of Tate’s earlobe and turned to hug Aurelio. “I’ll be in
touch. Let me know if you hear anything else, or if a culprit confesses.” He
flashed a wide grin at Aurelio. “It wouldn’t be the first time for you, would
it?”
Aurelio raised one supercilious eyebrow. “I still maintain I browbeat no
one into a confession in Grenada, my friend. The man simply confessed he was
cheating out of a sense of pure guilt.”
“Yeah, and because you had a knife to his balls under the table,” Clay
scoffed. He glanced at Tate. “Never play poker with this man. He takes losing
quite seriously.”
Tate nodded as they walked down the stone steps. “Duly noted.”
They both waved back at Aurelio, who smiled and closed the door behind
them. Clay chuckled softly as they walked back toward the car.
Tate glanced over at him. “What’s so funny?”
Clay smirked. “Perhaps we need to revisit our role-playing techniques. How do you feel about putting on a
wolf suit and I can tell you how big your teeth are?”
Tate scowled. “Bring an animal suit anywhere near me, and I swear I’ll
set it on fire.”
“Oh my, Mr Wolf, what a big—” Clay managed to get out before Tate
slapped his hand over Clay’s mouth.
“Fuck off,” Tate snarled
Bringing lovers together,
one book at a time
Susan writes steamy, sexy and fun contemporary romance stories, some
suspenseful, some gritty and dark and others that hopefully make you think.
She's also Editor in Chief at Divine Magazine, an online LGBTQ e-zine, and one
third of the deadly trio of Cover Thoughts.
Susan attained PAN status with the Romance Writers of America with her first
M/M book, Stripped Bare. She's currently a member of The Society of Authors in
the UK and the Authors Guild in the US. She enjoys being a member of Queer
Romance Ink, All Author, Book + Main Bites and the Paranormal Romance Guild.
The 'unofficial' stuff...
She loves going to the theatre, live music concerts (especially if it's her man
crush Adam Lambert) walks in the countryside, a good G and T, lazing away
afternoons reading a good book, and watching re-runs of Silent Witness.
Her chequered past includes stories like being mistaken for a prostitute in the
city of Johannesburg, being chased by a rhino on a dusty Kenyan road, getting
kicked out of a youth club for being a 'bad influence' (she encourages free
thinking) and having an aunt who was engaged to Cliff Richar

ReplyDeleteOh Cat, thanks again for a aonderful review!! I'm so thrilled you enjoyed this one, it was a bit of a departure to what I've done before. Death by C*ck is book 2, and Relio and Tomas feature, but it's in book 3 which I'm busy doing now that you'll get to know them a bit better as there will be chapters from their POV :) Thanks again xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for the review! This one is on my TBR list. i had to read their one book in the Men of London series before I could start this.
