Men Of Melbourne #3
Hearts Unfrozen
Detective Paul Kincaid is unlucky in love. It's not easy finding someone who can handle the random work hours, stress and unpredictability that comes with being a cop's partner. After another romantic relationship implodes, he's all but given up on finding love. But while investigating a puzzling homicide case, he meets a man unlike anyone he's ever met before. Could he have finally found Mr Right?
After suffering an acquired brain injury in a car accident several years earlier, Jarod Cruikshank's life was changed irrevocably. Left unable to feel emotions or easily recognise them in others, the gifted linguist now works from home as a freelance text translator. Focusing almost obsessively on his work, and with very few friends to distract him, Jarod has adapted to his new, somewhat isolated life.
But when his neighbour is brutally murdered, Jarod is brought face to face with a handsome police detective who has the potential to alter his world forever. The two men will have to work together to unravel the cryptic, macabre clues left by a deranged killer. But can they solve the mystery and unravel their feelings for each other before the killer comes after them?
Hearts Unfrozen is Book 3 of the Men of Melbourne series, but can be read as a standalone novel.

Nice romance with a ot
I not only enjoyed the romance and heat in the story, I absolutely loved the mystery that needed solved. My only complaint would be the grammar/ typos that occasionally disrupted the flow for me. Otherwise it would be a 5 star read.

Hearts Unfrozen, Men of Melbourne Book 3, is an excellent addition to the Men of Melbourne series. It tells the story of a homicide detective who finds himself attracted to a man who appears to be right in the centre of a series of violent murders. Paul and Jarod are both quite interesting characters. I felt a pull towards the matter-of-fact Jared who, after suffering a stroke after a car accident, no longer is capable of feeling, or understanding, emotions.
Hearts Unfrozen is a fast-paced story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Alex Leslie is definitely a one-click author for me. I've read all the books in the Men of Melbourne series so far, and this one is by far the strongest. It shows an author who is coming into their own as a storyteller, and I hope they're already writing their next one.

Murder mystery
The story is a murder mystery with a pinch of romance. Jarod with his unique skills is pulled into investigating the murders. The narration keeps your interest and guessing till the end. An enjoyable read.

This is the third book in the Men of Melbourne series. This book is about Paul the police detective from book 1 and Jarod a very smart nerd with a brain injury. This is a who done it book with some MM romance as well.
