Lakehouse Security #4
Locke's Love
Danny Newell has loved Locke for six years. Every time they have to work together that love grows just a little bit more desperate. Of course, it would be easier if Locke gave him the time of day. When Danny gets a phone call late at night and goes out on a mission by himself, the last person he expects to go after him is Locke. Being stuck on a mission with a man that despises him is not his favorite thing, to say the least.

Another great story from the "Lakehouse Security" series by April Kelley. I really like this series, and "Locke's Love" is a very nice addition.
Lakehouse Security had been hired to get into the compound of a religious cult who are holding young, gay men hostage to "convert" them into being straight. Only it was much worse than anyone could ever imagine. All of the young men were rescued, and arrests were made, but there is some suspicious activity going on, and Danny, the company's resident computer geek, springs into action when he gets a phone call from one of the rescued young men. Locke is involved in a group who work with Lakehouse occasionally. Danny has feelings for him, but it seems like Locke would rather be poked in the eye with a stick than be around him. Well...he's in for a surprise.
This story had quite a bit of suspense and action, and that's great. I really like to read a story that's not only romantic and sexy, but has some fire to it as well. This book is introducing us to a new part of the ongoing story, and I'm excited about that. Locke and Danny, once they both stop being stubborn, are great together. They interact well, and the romantic and sexual tension is nicely written...and smokin' hot :-)
I recommend this book. As I mentioned, this is the fourth installment of a series. You could read it as a stand alone, but you might be a little confused because the other characters fromt he previous three books make appearances. I really think that you should take the time to read books 1-3 before you start this one. You won't be sorry because they're good stories too. Pick them up!

Rating this series as a whole, as series progress the books definitely feel shorter. But thats because I'm greedyfor more. The complexity of the story is a pleasure. There is chemistry between the MC's especially in the situations created in these books. Great series

4.5 Heart Review by Tammy
Danny Newell is Lakehouse Security’s computer expert and he’s been in love with Locke for the last six years. Danny knows Locke doesn’t return his feelings, in fact as far as Danny can tell Locke hates him. Every time they see each other when Locke works for Lakehouse Security he’s cold, rude and dismissive towards Danny.
Unbeknownst to Danny, Locke has been in love with him for just as long! Unfortunately, because Locke was raised in foster homes his trust level isn’t very high. In fact one of the few people Locke trusts is his foster-brother Paulo. While Lakehouse Security is finishing up with the latest case they’ve been working on Locke has found the perfect way to keep tabs on Danny, he messages him every night on his computer, asking how he is. Once Danny tells him he’s fine Locke generally logs off because he doesn’t want Danny finding out it’s him. Danny just can’t be bothered to find out until the night he gets called out on a mission, although Danny doesn’t go on missions because he’s the “computer geek” he goes on this one because it involves a friend.
Locke can’t believe Danny went racing off in his own, they only go out in pairs or teams. Danny feels humiliated and pissed off that it’s Locke that comes out to help him with his mission. While they’re holed up in a motel room doing surveillance Danny has had enough of Locke’s silent treatment and calls him out over it. Locke is close-mouthed as per normal and Danny tells him that enough is enough he’s not waiting for Locke to notice him and he’s over unrequited love. Locke doesn’t like the sound of that and starts to respond to Danny in his own way. It takes Danny getting shot for Locke to really pay him attention and that’s when they start to talk, getting to know each other and Danny is incredibly surprised at how sweet, gentle and loving Locke is beneath his asshole exterior.
Danny doesn’t take any chances and asks Locke to move in with him as soon as they get back to his place. Locke is hesitant but agrees and then he has to cope with Danny’s brothers overbearing protectiveness. It has taken a six years but Danny finally gets his man!! I can’t recommend Locke’s Love and the Lakehouse Security series to enough people!
