Partner's to lovers is a trope I love and I definitely loved it in this book!
Aidan (Irish) Talley is heading back to work after eight months of healing and grieving from a horrible car accident that he had not only been seriously injured in, but one that also took the life of his work partner Tom and his husband Gabe. SAC Cruz (his boss and Gabe's sister) has cleared him fit to head back to work, but she has also put him in a new department working Cyber and assigned him a new partner, James (Whiskey) Walker.
Jamie is a Cyber Crimes expert and he his very good at his job. Once upon a time he was a pro NBA player but left the game when he was injured. He's still pretty well known and popular but he has never enjoyed being in the spotlight which is why he enjoys his new career of working in the 'cyber cave'.
The chemistry was strong with these two and the attraction was instant. But with Aidan still grieving and dealing with survival guilt he's not sure if he's ready to move on which is acceptable. He was with his husband for ten years. Jamie is also struggling with his attraction to Aidan. He has a habit on falling fast and falling hard. He's afraid with Aidan being so hot and cold towards him it will end with his heart being broken.
The cases the guys take on are really interesting. They make the perfect partners with Aidan being highly experienced in the field and Jamie being an expert in the cyber world.
Their last case was pretty exciting. It had some heart stopping moments that put me on the edge of my seat.
The story leaves a lot open to where it will go in the next book and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
I believe these two men have the making's of being an epic couple that will surely make their way onto my list.
If your like me and enjoy a crime drama with a side of a hot slow burn romance then I recommend this one for you.
Happy reading, dolls!
Warm breath tickled his neck. “No promises, Whiskey. We have fun, we enjoy each other, we keep it casual and quiet,” Aidan whispered, voice low and seductive. He punctuated his proposal with a kiss just below Jamie’s ear, his tongue darting out to tease skin ever so briefly. Jamie’s body shuddered, hard. “Can you do that?”
He rotated and folded his arms on the tub's edge. "What would you do," he said, voice rough and rumbling, "if you'd already lost the love of your life, only to find a second chance at something - maybe love, you're not sure yet - and before you can even wrap your head around the idea, that second chance is almost snatched away? Not once but twice."
He had no idea where they went from here. But for tonight, he wasn't empty; he was holding life in his arms. Walker dropped a kiss in his hair and Aidan took a deep, contented breath of ocean and sex, of them, memorized it, and tucked it away so no matter what happened, he'd always have tonight.
Jamie saw in Aidan's stormy gaze the battle his heart and mind were waging, but his partner's taut, vibrating body indicated victory was there for the taking.
Jamie entered the war.
"Autumn." Walker answered, voice dropping an octave.
"Like a pile of fall leaves back home, right after it rains. Dark brown swirled with brick and flecks of gold."
Neither of us wanted to be the red headed freckled kids with the funny accents ...
"What do you want, Irish?"

“I need...”
“What do you need?” Walker angled his face in, more than a mere brush, noses nudging each other, mouths inches apart.
“I need to feel alive again.”
“Then kiss me, Talley,” he whispered..
