The
bicurious cop and his sharp-dressed man…
Detective Christopher “Topher” Carnegie is unlucky in love. He either tries too
hard, doesn’t try hard enough, or hasn’t found the right person yet. But
recently, he’s started seeing Julian Fine, his sister’s best friend, in a new
light. If there’s one thing a fabulous tailor knows, it’s how to take a
person’s measure. Julian recognizes a straight man when he sees one, but that
doesn’t stop him from falling head over heels for the unattainable man.
Just a few short days and one shared bed…
When a white lie backs Julian into a corner, Topher steps in to save the day.
He’s worked plenty of undercover assignments before, but pretending to be
Julian’s boyfriend during a family wedding might be his most dangerous mission
yet. Julian challenges everything Christopher knows about himself, and soon,
reaching for each other feels as natural as breathing. But can their newfound
feelings survive the real-world challenges they face? There’s only one way to
find out.

“You ran the stop sign back there,” the officer said. He narrowed his eyes and studied my face. “Are you okay?”
“Okay?” I asked, then became aware of my wet face. I quickly wiped away the tears. “Yeah, I’m fine.”
The officer leaned over to look into my back seat before meeting my gaze. “Did you get into an argument with someone?”
“Nah, I dumped his dumb ass a few months ago.”
I didn’t see a flicker of reaction in his golden gaze, but his mouth curved into a wry smile. “Ouch,” he said. “Pretty sure more than a few of my girlfriends have said the same about me.”
I clasped my imaginary pearls. “Say it ain’t so.”
The officer chuckled and crossed his heart. “What upset you so much that you ran the stop sign?”
“Oh, I just drove by my aunt’s old place and was sad to see the new owners don’t love it as much as she did. It’s no excuse, and I’m sorry.”
Officer Hottie nodded and said, “I’ll need to see your license, registration, and proof of insurance.”
“You don’t want to frisk me for weapons?” One of these days, my mouth would get me into a lot of trouble.
The cop blinked a few times, and then a slow smile spread across his face until twin dimples peeked out from his cheeks. “Pretty sure you’ve shown me your weapons already.”
I knew he was talking about my sharp tongue and quick wit, but I couldn’t let him off the hook. “Oh, darling,” I cooed, “there’d be no doubt if I had.”
A series of beeps emitted from the radio hooked to his vest, followed by a tinny voice calling out codes and unit numbers. The sexy officer stood up straight and turned toward his patrol car. I glanced up in the rearview mirror and saw his partner, a super sexy Hispanic man, signaling for my new fantasy boyfriend to hurry up.
“You’re in luck,” the tawny cop said, startling me.
I clutched my nonexistent pearls again and said, “You sure move quickly and quietly for such a big guy,” I said.
“Like a lion,” he replied with a wink. “You won’t see me coming until I’m on you.”
“Promises, promises.”
Another flash of those dimples. “I have to answer another call, so I’m letting you off with a verbal warning.”
“Oh, good,” I purred. “Oral is my favorite.”
He shook his head and straightened to his full height, putting me at eye level with his big dick again. “Drive safely,” he called out as he retreated to his cruiser.
I shamefully stared at his ass in the side mirror and wiggled my fingers at them as they drove by with their lights flashing and sirens blaring a few seconds later. I released a sigh, relegated the handsome man to my fantasies, and drove to the store to grab a few staples before heading to my new apartment.

This is a standalone, but if you have been enjoying Walker's Sawyer and Royce
books, you will recognise the gang and enjoy catching up with all things
Savannah! You will also remember Julian's amazing corset constructions, which
give so much pleasure to the guys...
I really enjoyed these two men finally get the happily ever after which they
deserved, even if Julian being open about his attraction to Topher took three
years to arrive at a first date. It was really very cute when finally Topher
realises he wants to open his mind to being interested in him, Julian cannot
believe that he means it. After years of watching him have relationships with
women, this is hardly surprising – but once they start the ball rolling, it is
delicious from the start.
The police drama was considerably less than in Locke and Key stories, but that
was fine by me, sometimes just the hint of danger is enough to raise the blood
pressure a little. The chemistry between these two very caring guys was a great
mix of sexy, cheeky, and hot.
I really enjoyed it all, and was also happy for Harper, who has also been less
than lucky in love in the past. Very exciting too was the promise the police
chief and the sheriff are finally going to get their story told – the hints
have been growing, but soon we will have the full story!

This was a slow-burn, super sweet, friends-to-lovers book. I'll admit, at times
it was a little slow for me, but I kept plugging away. Watching Julian and
Topher’s relationship grow was great. I can't believe it took Topher three
flipping years to figure it out, but FINALLY!!! Julian was leery too, but once
things started it was laughs and love all the way.
