Product Description

Product Description

Detective Kurt O’Donnell is used to digging up other people’s secrets, but when he discovers his slain partner was married to another man, it shakes him. Determined to do the right thing, Kurt offers the mourning Davy his assistance. Helping Davy through his grief helps Kurt deal with the guilt that his partner didn’t trust him enough to tell him the truth, and somewhere along the way Davy stops being an obligation and becomes a friend, the closest friend Kurt has ever had.

His growing attraction to Davy complicates matters, leaving Kurt struggling to reevaluate his sexuality. Then a sensual encounter neither man is ready for confuses them further. To be with Davy, Kurt must face the prospect of coming out, but his job and his relationship with his Catholic family are on the line. Can he risk destroying his life for the uncertain possibility of a relationship with a newly widowed man?

well worth reading 14 Dec 2011

This is a great story and well written. We follow Kurt on an emotional journey from losing his Cop partner to discovering he is gay and falling in love, only to appear to lose that as well. He has to come to terms with his sexuality and facing the world, his colleagues on the job and his very catholic family. In the end he has more support than he anticipated but you really feel the anxiety and courage needed to reach the point when he could face up to everyone. I don't want to say anymore as that would spoil the story. trust me you won't be disappointed in this.

I didn't have high expectations of this novel as it could very easily have been a clichéd flop. As it turned out it was a very well crafted novel : the prose is highly competent, the dialogue convincing and natural, the characterisation is solid and the plot is well paced.

Even though I loved this novel and even shed a few tears at one point, there were a few niggles. What didn't quite work for me was a point of crisis for the couple and the exact circumstances and ensuing fallout didn't seem quite to gel : the motivation is explained but I didn't buy into it, and it stuck out as melodrama that could have been worked differently to achieve the same end. There were also a few instances of predictable plot development: one towards the end which happens to be one of the biggest clichés out there in gay literature in order (and a pet peeve of mine) to resolve things between the two protagonists, and it was a disappointment that the author fell into this trap. There was also a rather transparent matter with a secondary character which when revealed right at the end was really a non-event.

The strengths just about managed to overcome the weaknesses and bring this up to four stars, and ultimately made for a very enjoyable read.

A good read 29 Jan 2012

Though there were one or two moments along the way which seemed out of character, particularly the first 'getting-together', I found myself racing through the last few chapters to see how things turned out. OK it was all rather predictable, especially where Kurt ends up in hospital, but after I finished the book I re-read the last chapters more slowly just to make sure I hadn't missed anything of the brilliant ending. Four stars because the characters could have been developed a bit more specially Davy about whose background we learned very little and it was difficult to get to know him.
