When Deputy Nick Senaster
chastises a bunch of college kids at a bar, he doesn’t think anything of it,
even if their leader is gorgeous. The guy is too young and way too cocky, and
soon Nick has an emergency foster placement to focus on. His first job is
ensuring ten-year-old Ethan knows someone cares for him. But Nick doesn’t
realize Ethan is a package deal.
When Alexander finds out
his abusive stepfather, Dieter, has lost custody of his half brother, he’s torn
between relief and dread. Alexander can’t get custody until he can provide a
home for his tiny family. In the meantime, at least Ethan’s foster father will
let Alexander visit.
So of course, the man
turns out to be the cute but dour cop who gave Alexander a hard time.
Soon Nick and Alexander
discover they misjudged each other. Nick is more than an authoritarian
automaton, and Alexander has a drive and a maturity that belie their first
meeting. But between a campaign of intimidation from Dieter, their own
insecurities, and the logistics of dating with Ethan’s fragile sense of
stability hanging in the balance, they have their work cut out for them if they
want to build a future.

Nick stole my heart from
the very beginning. His boyfriend left him,
and he is lonely. He gets a call from child services about a ten-year-old boy.
He forgot he and his ex had applied for foster parenting and possible adoption.
The social worker knows him and lets him take in the boy though he is single
and its an emergency until the older half-brother can see about getting
custody.
Alexander has just
graduated from law school and is studying for the bar but will do what he has
to to get his little brother. He begins spending a lot of time with Nick and
Ethan and soon Nick and Alexander become more than friends.
Dieter Ethan's dad will do
whatever it takes to get Ethan back though all he cares about is the small
check he gets on Ethan.
I felt very sorry for poor
little Ethan. As in all Andrew Grey books, the characters are all amazing, the
story deals with social issues of child abuse and fostering. The story is good,
has some action and a touch of suspense, and just enough heat. Be prepared...the
story will get you right in the feels.
If you like sexy deputies,
cute law students, Adorable kids, a touch of suspense, and a little heat, this
book is for you.
