The first book in the series set up Cam and Nik&#8217;s relationship, the second dealt with Cam&#8217;s demons from the past, so it makes sense that the third book would finally explore Nik&#8217;s past (his &#8220;mess&#8221; and tangle of regrets) and wrap up the Vaughn storyline once and for all. \u00a0Who is the mysterious GS that Nik has tattooed on his back, and will finally revealing all of his secrets to Cam make their relationship stronger or tear them apart?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou are a good boyfriend,\u201d he whispered against his lips. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to go through this with anyone else, or alone.\u201d That\u2019s what the old Nic would have wanted, but the one holding Cameron Byrne\u2019s hand, the one who knew he had someone to call, someone to tell his story to, someone to go home to after a no good horrible day, wanted this man with him, always.<br \/>\nCam\u2019s dark, heated eyes stared back at him. \u201cI\u2019m with you, baby.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One of my favorite parts of romance novels is how, ideally, the relationship between the main characters makes them stronger, better versions of themselves than they are apart. \u00a0Ms. Reyne does this beautifully, and honestly, while the suspense plot is excellent as always, it&#8217;s the nuances of Cam and Nik&#8217;s relationship that keep me coming back for more. \u00a0With Nik dealing with the death of his father and his grieving process &#8211; or lack of it &#8211; Cam is an amazing rock and knows exactly when to push and when to let Nik be. \u00a0My favorite part was, when Nik is trying to figure out, after being raised as an only child, how to deal with his new-found family, he emulates how Cam interacts with his family. \u00a0It was a delightfully sweet moment and just one more example of how well they complement each other. \u00a0They&#8217;re very much an established couple by this point in the series, and while there are tests to their relationship &#8211; mostly due to Nik&#8217;s need to protect Cam, and, well, everyone &#8211; they&#8217;re dealt with quickly.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBut they weren\u2019t safe. Not since he\u2019d gone after Vaughn, hastening the inevitable confrontation. He hadn\u2019t thought there was anyone but trained professionals in the line of fire, and hell, he\u2019d tried to keep them out of it for over a year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The suspense plot focuses more on Nic&#8217;s work as the AUSA this time, though we do get to see Cam in action, as well. \u00a0It was a nice change from previous books, and it was wonderful to watch him build the case to take down Vaughn one piece at a time. \u00a0The department moles are also ferreted out and exposed &#8211; no surprises there, though I found the reveal immensely satisfying due to how awful one of them was. \u00a0While I expected the plot to be pretty predictable &#8211; there&#8217;s been a lot of breadcrumbs laid down in previous books &#8211; there were actually a few twists and turns that were pleasantly surprising. \u00a0Living in the SF Bay Area, I was also pleased to see some references to southern Silicon Valley (shoutout to Morgan Hill!).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping my suspicions are true and that the hints of a new couple in this book materialize into a new series. \u00a0While I&#8217;ll miss Cam and Nic, I&#8217;m more excited than ever for wherever Ms. Reyne goes next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve mentioned &#8211; several times now &#8211; how much I enjoyed Ms. Reyne&#8217;s first series, Irish &amp; Whiskey, and how I
