Born of Irish and Fae descent in the desert of west Texas I traveled far and wide before settling in the wilds of northeast Texas where I farms plot bunnies and have art attacks in my spare time. I began writing when I couldn't find the kind stories I wanted to read anywhere else and draw on my years of experience with the paranormal, the unusual, and the just plain weird. I'm big fan of Fantasy and Science Fiction as well as History and the world around me, everything is inspiration for my stories. I write about the places I've lived and the people I've seen.
Talk about opposites needing to cooperate – the theme of this series – to the power of pick-a-very-high-number. None of the pairings have been easy in these action-packed thriller/mysteries, but Julian and Victor make the others seem like rank beginners in the arena of enemies-to-lovers. They have disliked (and I am being polite here) each other since they went through US Marshal training together, and the stakes are super high since Victor’s mentor is a crooked marshal who is out to prevent Victor from being a witness in the case against him – at any cost. I couldn’t wait to find out more!
Vacations should be treated as sacred times for a person to recuperate and fight off burn out. Julian is enjoying his sun and beach vacation with hot cabana boys running around. When it is cut short to help protect a former class mate whom he hated, it does not start the new assignment on the right foot. This story can also be read as a standalone.
For a law enforcement agent, US Marshall Julian is pretty dense. He also holds a mean long grudge. Julian is assigned to protect his arch nemesis, Victor who not only bested him in many of the courses at the academy, but stole his butt buddy. Honestly, I liked Victor better than I liked Julian. Julian is an oblivious arrogant prick with shallow needs. Victor is the one who has a strong moral fiber. Okay, maybe Victor could do a little better in the verbal communication aspect, but still, he isn't a bad guy. When Victor's old crush is revealed to Julian, what does Julian do? Not much except to want to use Victor as a hole to plunder. Really, Julian is a slutty cad. Luckily for Victor, Julian pulls his head out of his ass just in time to save Victor. Not sure if this romance is going to last since it seems more lust filled from Julian's end, but at least the two men are talking. This erotic romance is recommended for m/m readers who love enemies to lovers theme.
