What happens when an out-and-proud bear moves to a small Tennessee town and takes a shine to the closeted cop? Fireworks, that’s what. 

When Del Walters agrees to go into business with his brother, he has one condition. Since he’s putting up the lion’s share, they’ll run the bike shop his way - and that means he gets to choose the name. And in a small Tennessee town, a business called Rainbow Racers, complete with a not-so-subtle sign, was always going to attract attention. Unfortunately, it’s the wrong kind of attention, and after a few incidents, Del is forced to call on the local police to deal with the culprits.

When Officer Taylor Cox walks into his shop, Del thinks Christmas has come early. An earlier encounter with the younger man left Del with a growing desire to know more about him. There’s only one problem - Taylor is in the closet, and there’s no way Del is going back into his. 

When Taylor lays eyes on the sexy bear who owns the bike shop, he knows he’s walking into trouble. Not that he’s about to let Del know he’s interested: His view from the closet is just fine, thank you very much, and besides, that ship has already sailed, thanks to their first meeting. Now all he wants to do is forget Del even exists. But as time goes by, Taylor realizes how badly he is torn between protecting the persona he’s created, and giving in to his desires. And Del making it obvious that he wants Taylor isn’t helping matters. 

Between an out-and-proud bear and a firmly closeted cop, something has to give. Problem is, it might be their hearts.

Cat gives this one 5 meows overall with a 3 Purr heat index... 

This is book two in the series but stands alone perfectly. We met Taylor in Book one Truth and Betrayal as he became friends with Jake. Taylor knows he is gay but feels he is stuck hiding. He came back to be near his aging mother but there is nothing for him in this town as there is a lot of bigotry. Then he meets out and proud Del and as the story goes on he finds there are more people that are nicer than he thinks but still he doesn't have the urge to come out. But will his feeling for Del overpower the need to stay in the closet?

Del is out and proud. he left a bad relationship and came to this town to help his brother open a motorcycle shop. After it is established and in the black well, he plans to go back to his old life in California since this is a very bigoted and homophobic town. until he meets a sexy cop that might be worth staying for id he can dig him out of the closet he is hiding in.
This is a remarkably interesting book with a deep story and well-developed characters.  I really thought we would see more of Liam and Jake, but we only got a small cameo.  I liked the storylines, there is a lot of feels. 

I do recommend the audio. John Solo gave the story a lot of power. He brought the story to life with voice and the way he shows excitement and pain.

If you like closeted men, firsts, large, age gaps, and some hot man-sex you will love this book.
