Raw Instinct #2
Raw Deception
Rawson Curisco and Edward Canton live an idyllic life in the Drakensberg (Mountain of the Dragon). But that idyllic life is interrupted when Edward's estranged father, Lieutenant Gregory Basye Sander visits to celebrate their first anniversary. Gregory is 48, a pilot in the South African Airforce, and he's not out. During this visit he meets 27-year-old Detective Shane Devin. From the moment of their meeting, there is trouble in heaven. Small vignettes of deception blot Gregory and Shane's relationship with insecurity, but neither of them could have foreseen the final, tragic outcome of a deception much larger than they could ever have imagined. It will lead them into a world of insanity and fear.

A taste of...
A taste of South Africa. I enjoyed reading a books about places I have not been. This book and others by this author take place in South Africa. This book gave very vivid descriptions of beautiful places in South Africa. It inspired me to get on the internet and look at them.

Damn it Lee Quail
Don't you know that it's rude to make a grown man cry like a baby? I was looking forward to a Happily Ever After and that isn't what I got. Overall it is an amazing story well done. Thank you. I'm

Torn apart
I loved this story of love, coming out and the military. I won't spoiler the end but it tore me apart. It made a point about a serious problem we all should consider in a destructive relationship. I am a fan of Lee Quail's for life even though I want to strangle him. Great read, powerful writing.

THIS IS A LOVE STORY
Lee Quail has done it again. This is Book #2 but can be read as a standalone. RAW Book #1 is a fantastic book, I recommend you read but you don't need to read it to appreciate the beauty of this book.
This is the story of Greg, an air force helicopter pilot in South Africa. He is also Edward's (Book #1) father. This story covers Greg and Edward's estrangement. Their reunion is so touching. Shane is a detective. Their meeting was accidental but inevitable. HOT! HOT!! HOT!!! They have a contentious and difficult meeting but some things just can't be denied. This is written in true Lee Quail style. I felt like I was in South Africa right along with them. These characters just draw you in and take you on their journey with them. I could NOT put it DOWN. This is written with the Authors love of the characters and the UNIQUE talent of putting you in the story. I love books that transport me to a place I'll never see but I still get to see the sunsets and take in the culture. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!!

Oh My God! I knew it would be Good. I read Raw 1! But Lee has managed to out do the first book. I was graced with reading an early version of Raw 1 and thought nothing could top that. Edward and Raw became friends. And the ending tore me up. Then. Lee rewrote the end and. It was different! I thought it was beautiful and the love between Edward and Raw was so poignant.
The characters so developed they seemed like real people.
Then comes Raw Deception! Another love story that will have you laughing, crying and wanting more!
Lee manages to write characters that are so believable and real. The story full of wonderful passages that show the Love the Writer has in his heart, hrough the characters and story he created. He is a Wonderful Writer and I am glad to call him a friend as well. Because of his writing! Thank you Lee for another year jerker.
You can count on this book to bring you happiness, laughter and tears.
I dont like spoilers so no details of the story. But it is a MUST READ!
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Along with Raw and Edward's Story in Book 1.
