‘Cops have partners, it wouldn’t be an unusual thing’
In a field of excellent authors of gay romance author David Horne continues to impress. He has published over thirty novels to date. The consistently high quality of his novels has brought him success in writing Gay Romances and he has gathered a solid following of readers. How does his growth as an author show? By his lack of fear in taking on themes that include the various forms of isolation, resonances of the past arising in the present with the concomitant confusion of emotional responses – both positive and negative, finding a path for his romantic leads to explore not only each other’s expectations but also the peripheral surprises that life deals us – and how we overcome them.
In this new novel David steps into the arena of the police department, exploring the relationship between two policemen – one comfortable with his sexuality, the other, more private. Setting the stage for this new novel, David writes – ‘On the morning of December 21st, 2017, the Los Angeles Police Department’s training academy in Elysian Park, California, was almost as silent as the grave. No prospective entrees loitered in the lobby. No training cadets jogged around the assault course or fired off live rounds in the shooting range. This was a special day, after all. A forty-foot spire sat smack dab in the middle of the compound, an observation platform for overseeing the complex. Two women sat in the hub at the top of the spire, overlooking their “dominion” below. The elder of the two women gazed down at the parade square - thirty police cadets were arranged in ranks of three and stood stock-still and un-moving…And on the day of their graduation, the two stood shoulder-to- shoulder, side-by-side. Jon Hunter, from foggy and cable-car-ridden San Francisco and Max Hunter, from mountain-surrounded, metropolitan Seattle up in the State of Washington on the Pacific Northwest coast.…’ A spicy way to introduce the main characters!
The interesting plot proceeds as follows: ‘Max and Jon Hunter are two LAPD detectives who are so good at working together that they get mistaken for brothers. Although their shared surname certainly helps with that. When Max returns from an eight-month-long undercover operation to work with Jon to crack down on California’s biggest drug-smuggling ring, the two rekindle their secret romance that began in the police academy almost three years before. Although Jon is out and proud, Max’s situation is different entirely, and when going up against crime boss Cesar Martinez gets personal, both Max and Jon are forced to choose between protecting the people of their city and what is most important to them—each other.’
Love in all its aspects, this is another one of David’s finest novels.

This is not a romance. I can't even begin to think why the author chose the title as "Say you're mine" when it is mostly cops vs mafia story and no steamy scenes between MCs except for one kiss and one blow job scene. It is short. The premise of the story was promising but it lacked in delivery. Very very disappointing.

Say You're Mine: By David Horne
Loved this story only trouble is it finished too early and nothing happened. The story was interesting and is was a good police story so there was action. I'll to keep an eye out to see if there is a follow up with these characters in it.

Interesting
This was a good story to read about. Jon and Max were two guys that loved each other but also loved their jobs. Although it it one in prison. Good read!
