They&#8217;re ridiculously fun m\/m romances with plenty of twisty suspense. In this case it even includes marriage of convenience and single dad tropes! This is the second in the series and can&#8217;t be read as a standalone, and this review will contain spoilers for the first book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the events of the last book, Marsh, Levi, and his teen son David need a safe place to lie low, and the safest place Marsh can think of is his mothers&#8217; ranch. Marsh believes it\u2019s his fault that Levi and David were in danger, so in his guilt-stricken conscience the only solution is to leave Levi safe at the ranch and go chase down a new lead himself. Levi, however, disagrees. When new information reveals just how little they know, can Marsh and Levi&#8217;s partnership &#8211; and burgeoning romance &#8211; survive what their enemies will throw their way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cYou delivered on everything you promised. Stability, my case solved, a partner at work and home. Now it\u2019s my turn to do the same.\u201d<br>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to.\u201d<br>\u201cI want to.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This book takes Marsh back to his life in Vienna &#8211; his life before Levi. The stark contrast between the two prompts even Marsh to realize exactly how deep his feelings for his husband are. While they built a solid partnership from their marriage of convenience in the last book, both Marsh and Levi are forced to confront the changes in their relationship. Even so, Marsh can&#8217;t quite believe that after everything is said and done, Levi will still choose him. After all, he&#8217;s used to being the one left behind. Levi however is determined to prove it to him, especially after Marsh shows again and again that he&#8217;s willing to prioritize David&#8217;s feelings and needs when making decisions. He&#8217;s a rock of stability for both Levi and David even in the midst of the case they&#8217;re embroiled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cI will have your back, however I can do that, however you need me to, and I will give you a home and heart to return to. I promise I won\u2019t leave you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>While working through all of that, Marsh and Levi are also following leads through Europe. With the leak in the department still not found, trusting even Marsh&#8217;s oldest friends is fraught with danger. The plot moves along at a brisk pace until it culminates in an explosive ending, one that made me wish the final book in the trilogy was out already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My only quibble? The book starts up immediately (literally a few hours) from where the last left off, with very little in the way of recap. There&#8217;s also quite a number of cameos from previous Whiskeyverse books including major parts by Sean (from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/2021\/08\/16\/release-blitz-what-we-may-be-layla-reyne\/\">What We May Be<\/a>). At times I honestly felt like I needed a list of characters and their associated series because they just kept popping up out of the woodwork! The ones I remembered though? It was nice to see them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, a thrilling and suspenseful middle entry to this series, and one that definitely made me hungry for more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content notes: <span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">violence, discussion of human trafficking, threats against a child, discussion of death from cancer, grief <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been a fan of Layla Reyne&#8217;s romantic suspense since the start of her Whiskeyverse universe.
