Quinn Security #4
Breaking Logan's Laws
Newly named head of Quinn Security Investigations, retired detective Logan Jeffries believes in law and order. Everything should have its place. A personal life should never interfere with work. Relationships should have their own rules too. Logan lives by his own laws -- five precisely. As long as he follows them, all is right in his regimented world.
Nate Jordan wishes he could say no when assigned to work with Logan. Nate has never forgotten Logan's kindness the night they met. In the three years since, his crush has only grown. This partnership will surely end in disaster, but Nate cannot walk away.
Quickly, Logan and Nate delve into the search for a missing socialite. Nothing else should occupy Logan's thoughts. The only problem? Nate is determined and sweet, and working with him awakens Logan's deepest desires. Logan won't break his laws, though. Not even for the gentlest, sexiest man in the world.
Meanwhile, Nate is falling harder and faster for Logan every day they're together. The craziest damn thing is he thinks he senses attraction under Logan's controlled facade. Nate will have to break every one of Logan's laws to capture the man of his dreams.

Breaking Logan’s Laws is a pretty typical Dane book. Fans of the author should enjoy the story and over the top romance while the somewhat corny style of writing isn’t likely to bother familiar readers. The mystery is eclipsed by the exaggerated relationship which is unfortunate since it has all the elements of being engaging and intriguing. However, the men are cute and sweet together which makes the story fun to read. This is an easy, enjoyable story to read even if it runs a little long with too many repetitive sex scenes and not enough interest in the mystery portion.
The story features Logan and Nate from the previous Quinn books. You definitely don’t have to read the previous books to appreciate this one as the characters are peripheral at best in the other books. This time Logan and Nate are paired together on the case of a missing girl. Both men have been suppressing their desire for each other so being thrown together immediately sets sparks flying. Both Nate and Logan are distracted from the case due to their chemistry and when they finally get together, Logan is overcome with emotion and may not be able to fully commit.
The plot is pretty basic with a boy meets boy but doesn’t think they can have each other theme. The mystery portion is actually very good but unfortunately the focus is always on the sexual tension and romance portion. In fact so much so that the mystery is hard to connect to or care about. The various details are interesting and the final resolution pretty good but the characters are distracted by the tension and chemistry so they have frequent mental wanderings all focused on the sex they want to be having instead of figuring out the mystery. The romance is definitely the most important part with the missing girl case a very distant third or fourth in importance. This keeps the mystery disconnected and almost unimportant. It’s what keeps the characters and story moving along but the focus is solidly on the relationship and sex.
There is also a lot of sex in this book. Definitely something to please Dane fans but I found my attention wandering some. Part of this is that I find the erotica writing to be so exaggerated, over the top, and rather corny that I don’t find it that sexy or interesting. The prose tends to use “channel” “chute” “rectum” “fluttering passage” during the sex scenes which always yanks me out of the story with a cringe. Likewise phrases such as “fiery spasms stole control of Nate’s chute” or “Nate squeezed every muscle inside or near his ass, so damn hard he thought he stamped the shape of Logan’s penis into his rectal walls.”
Additionally the emotions tend to be over the top and exaggerated. The love is always so deep its unimaginable while the pain is unfathomable and the pleasure bottomless and endless. Everything is heightened and exaggerated to extremes, especially during the scenes where Nate and Logan declare their love and devotion. This is definitely romantic to be sure but it edges into corny for me somewhat with all the repetition. The various sex scenes feel too similar and Logan’s commitment problem feels played out several times in what feel like identical scenes. This isn’t so bad you want to throw the book but it does slow down the pace and take away some interest in the story.
The main characters are nicely fleshed out and very cute together. They have tons of chemistry and play off each other in sweet ways. It’s too sweet sometimes for me and the melodramatic tone to their emotions makes it hard to connect to them. However for those readers who enjoy a more dramatic love affair to their romance probably won’t mind. I do like Dane’s books and this one fits well with her backlist so fans will want to get this one. Personal taste varies on if BLL’s will be a favorite but the couple is worth reading.

Synopsis in short:
Nate recently joined Quinn Security and for his first case he’s partnered with Logan, the man he met three years ago. Since then his crush has only grown. Logan has his own secret desires, but he also has rules when it comes to relationships. However, sweet Nate threatens to break down all his defenses.
Setting: Logan and Nate’s story is set in the world of Quinn Security and the characters of the previous books in the series are making small appearances. Both Logan and Nate are investigators at Quinn Security and their first joint case is to find a missing young socialite. This brings some suspense and mystery to the plot, which is not too complicated but nicely done.
POV: Third person narration, from both heroes' perspectives. That’s how I like it best with most stories. It gives equal insight in both characters’ thoughts and feelings, but with well timed switches to the other perspective, so that we as a reader don’t know everything at all times (because that would be boring).
H/H & characterization: Logan is the tall, dark and brooding type and Nate is the sweet, cute and happy one compared with Logan. Yet, Nate also has some darkness from his past to deal with. However, Logan is the one who has to come to terms with his cheating former lover, the reason why he has all those laws. Both Nate and Logan are very likeable and sexy characters, with more layers than one. Their pairing is one of opposites attract, but they match, not only in bed and in daily life but also as investigating partners.
I also enjoyed the presence of their friends, old and new ones. The interaction with this supporting cast showed a lot about our main heroes and made them three-dimensional as well.
Empathy level: These heroes moved me. Their conflict (mainly Logan’s set of laws) wasn’t too big but it was executed well, probably because the author succeeded in making me feel invested in them by the time things started to blow up.
Heat level: This couple certainly does steam up the pages, mainly in the second half of the book. There’s first quite some build-up with excellent sexual tension and once they finally give in to their attraction there’s no stopping them! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining per se, but these hot scenes were a bit out of proportion with the rest of the plot at that time. They could’ve been shorter and much better dosed. Still, 3 out of 3 flames
Angst level: Both heroes tugged at my heart strings in the same measure and I think I’ve probably used 1 or 2 out of 3 hankies
Overall entertainment level: Both the love story and the ongoing investigation held my undivided attention until the last page. Although the pacing felt a bit off once the hot smexing took place, this story kept being entertaining on more than one level. For me, the outcome of both the suspense plot and the romantic arc were satisfying. The extended cast with ‘real’ characters was a nice bonus. And thinking about Nate (and Logan) still makes me smile even now, almost a month after I read their story.
Final judgment:
Sexy & sweet hero thaws sexy & brooding hero. They make the pages sizzle while working on an interesting investigation.
4.5 out of 5 stars

3.75 stars. I could have given it 4 full stars if not for the overly-long sex session. The first half (takes place one evening) was well done and brought back memories of a Cameron Dane that hooked me back then with Renecade which I loved. Unfortunately, Logan and Nate continue the next morning and by the time I was done flipping page after page of fucking, I was exhausted. One can have too much of a good thing, after all.
Those who do like their sex to cover several pages won't mind, I'm sure. For me, I enjoyed the suspense thread more and though there were many opportunities for Nate to turn out to be another TSTL MM hero, he was (thankfully) no such thing. When he needed to take off to handle something that came up - and it was expedient to do so - he did go off on his own but would keep Logan informed even though he knew Logan would be having kittens. He didn't take stupid risks and made sure Logan knew where he was. That is a lot more than most MCs do in the romance genre. It's as if you're a MC in a romantic suspense, you have the license to do the stupidest things to endanger yourself.
I love Nate. He's sane, smart and lovable.
For a man who's a few years younger than Logan, Nate was a man who balanced self-confidence with what was realistic. He was never whiny with his demands and the way he carried out his responsibilities showed whatever he expected of Logan as his partner wasn't unreasonable. There was enough in the suspense portion to keep me reading, good enough for me to set aside my complaints about turning hot, intense, emotionally-satisfying sex into a rather tedious chore to get over and done with.
I'd like to see Riley with a book of his own - searching for his missing sister, perhaps? BLL is so much better than the previous Quinn Security ( I Do) which I felt was a bit of a rip-off. If QS Book 4 is another "real" book, I'm definitely buying.
And this is for Kassa: Channel & Chute make several guest appearances in this installment. I came across one that made me go "huh?" - 'confused and fluttering chute'. What the hell is that? It's Nate's chute, btw, and it's not the only time his 'chute' is fluttering either.

Logan and Nate, let me just say HOT HOT HOT. That is how I would describe this couple and this book. It was emotional and gritty and I sympathized with both MC's at some point, boy though they were hot. This was the longest book in the series so far and I found myself wanting it to be longer. This is a first for me, I loved another couple in a series where I loved the original. Normally I hate it and it gets 3 or 4 stars. But this couple just blew me away and I am so so glad I took the chance to read such an amazing book. Both characters have past's and both have been in tough situations, but they also know each other well enough to break the walls that were built. At no point did I doubt Logan loved Nate and Nate loved Logan. It was just there and so obvious that I wanted to scream towards the end of the book, I wanted to cry my eyes out there and my heart was in my chest. Another great book by Cameron Dane and I hope there will be more in the series :)

Logan esta comenzando un nuevo trabajo con Quinn Security, después de haber dejado su puesto como detective de la policía. Pero lo primero que encuentra su primer días, es que su asistente es nada mas que el cuñado de su mejor amigo, un hombre por el que ha sentido atracción desde el comienzo. Sin embargo, lo primero es el trabajo y encontrar a una joven desaparecida es su prioridad. Así que solo tiene que luchar para mantenerse alejado de su nuevo "asistente". Realmente podrá obviar la atracción que siente por el hombre? Podrá trabajar lado a lado sin caer en la "tentación"? Y si él también se siente atraído? Por otro lado, podrán encontrar la verdad con respecto a la desaparición de la joven? Que secretos descubrirán en el camino?
Esta es una serie que había leído hace muchísimos años, quizás una de las primeras de romance-erótico que leí en su momento, así que creía saber como iba a ser la cosa. Sin embargo, resulto mucho mas erótica de lo que me acordaba y mucho mas romántica también. Los diálogos resultaron exageradamente falsos y largos, pero la trama en si resulto ser lo que me mantuvo leyendo el libro. Quizás es que "supere" esa etapa, quizás es que lo sentí muy largo con el 60% de escenas eróticas largasssss y repetitivas, o solo quizás que me cambio el "gusto", pero el libro me resulto tedioso en muchas partes, pero entretenido en otras.
En fin, fue una serie entretenida, para su época, pero seguro buscaré otras cosas de este autor que sean un poco mas nuevas para ver su evolución y si sigue gustándome su estilo, ya veremos.

One of the things I've realized about Cameron Dane's books is that every emotion is felt to the tenth power. Marlon Brando, Streetcar Named Desire, kneeling in the middle of the street, yelling "Steeellaaaaa"; that's the kind of intensity Cameron Dane seems to love.
This time around the story is about Nate and Logan. Logan is thirty-six, an ex-detective, in the closet, more than rough around the edges and Quinn's new head of investigations. Logan's like a pitbull. Nate is twenty-eight, out, unbelievably sweet and apparently the most adorable man on the planet. Nate is an eager puppy.
For Logan's first case he's given Nate as an assistant. They've known each other, and been avoiding each other for three years. Nate's all but in love with Logan, who he thinks is straight. Logan thinks Nate is the sexiest thing alive, but he also thinks that Nate is straight. Logan also has five laws he lives by and getting with Nate would break every one of those laws.
So what are two guys to do? I'll tell you what they do; they work a missing person case and wade around in an ocean full of sexual tension. For the first half of the book these two guys dance around each other. Every time they start to get close they're interrupted. A phone rings, somebody walks in, they see a suspect getting away...
The mystery in Breaking Logan's Laws isn't really a main player. It's more of a device. I never really cared about the missing girl or what the outcome would be where she was concerned. I did really like her brother Declan and I hope he gets his own book. I also liked the character of Riley, the brother of another missing girl who gives up his career in law enforcement to find his sister. Riley's another one that I hope gets a book.
All in all I liked Nate and Logan together. Nate could do no wrong. As a matter of fact, he does everything right. Somehow this managed to keep from being annoying. I'll admit that I have a high tolerance for perfection in characters, so while Nate didn't bother me he might bother other people.
Logan is the flawed character but I didn't understand why he was tortured. I thought that it might have been because of the relationship with his ex but it was hinted at that Logan has always been tortured. I still liked Logan though, because he does make an effort to change throughout the book.
With Cameron Dane's books I tend not to question things too much. I just go along for the ride. Fostered Love, Finding Home and Something New are still my favorites from her but Breaking Logan's Law is good. Good enough to re-read? Yes, even good enough to re-read.

I really enjoyed reading this one.
Logan and Nate met three years ago. Nate was beat up by his straight best friend and Logan was in a relationship at the time. There was a mutual attraction right away, but they both didn't know the other was gay. It also wasn't the right time for them.
Fast forward three years. Nate works for his sister at Quinn Security. Logan is just starting a job there as the head of the investigations department. He lost his previous job as a homiide detective, because of an injury. He also recently lost his (cheating) boyfriend of 4 years.
Logan is still very angry and hurting. He's still in the closet and his these ridiculous laws when it comes to dating someone. He is still very attracted to Nate.
Nate is very much out of the closet and still has a big boner for Logan. Problem is, he doens't want to show it, because he doens't want to get beat up by another straight guy. Nate was a real sweetheart. I liked him a lot.
Ofcourse the two of them get paired together for Logans first case. There is a lot of sexual tension, but both guys have issues (especially Logan) so it takes them some time to act on it.
Once they do.....OMG freaking HOT !!! Some say the sexscenes were a bit to long...but I sure as shit did not mind one bit. You can always skim, if you think it's to much :)
I liked the mystery of he case they were working. The outcome was a bit OTT, but I still enjoyed the storyline.
I haven't read the other books in this serie, but I will be on the lookout for the next one, because I hope it will be about Riley. He still has some unfinished bussiness and I really liked his character.
4 stars from me

Thirty-six year old, Logan Jefferies, is the newest employee of Quinn Security. He's given up his job as a detective on the police force in favor of working for his best friend, Canin, and getting more hands on time doing what he loves to do, investigating crimes. His first case at Quinn Security is a missing persons case; a young woman, Daria Sarna, is missing, gone without a trace and no witnesses. She's depicted at first as a flighty, rich young woman with more money than sense, but like many things in life, what you get isn't always what you see.
To help Logan on his first case at Quinn, he's given a familiar face to assist him, twenty-eight year old, Nate Jordan. The same man that has been in love with Logan for the past three years. Nate believes that he doesn't have a chance with Logan though, Logan is straight after all, isn't he? Or, maybe he's just become so proficient at following and enforcing laws that he's created a few of his own.
This was an excellent addition to Cameron Dane's Quinn Security series. Logan and Nate's love for one another sucked me in and held me captivated till the very last page.

2.5 stars rounded up to 3.0
Man, I had a hard time with this one. I am a HUGE Cameron Dane fan (she placates my smut craving like all get out) and I have enjoyed this series (with the exception of The Ultimate Kink, which I skipped because ewww girly bits). Unfortunately, this one fell short for me. I had difficulty connecting with Logan or Nate and I found that I just didn't care enough about either to really get into to the story. Nate was too chick-with-a-dick at times and Logan ran so hot and cold, it turned me off. The mystery was okay but I HATED the loose end with Riley's sister .
Bottom line: an underwhelming installment in the Quinn Security series; I might continue, however, if Riley's story is ever told.

Nate was too chick-with-a-dick at times and Logan ran so hot and cold, it turned me off. The mystery was okay but I HATED the loose end with Riley's sister .
Bottom line: an underwhelming installment in the Quinn Security series; I might continue, however, if Riley's story is ever told.

Omg, this was so good! I think this one was the best one yet in this series. The mystery aspect was awesome. I honestly did not figure it out. I will not spoil any of the story but I will say this is a great read for m/m fans!

This is the third book in the Quinn Security series I read and it's definitely the one I enjoyed the most. Both because of the plot and because of the characterization.
I liked both Logan and Nate and appreciated that, even though Nate was a few years younger than Logan, he was level-headed, knew what he wanted and brought the much needed balance in their relationship. Also, I kind of got why Logan had those laws and why he had to follow them but he could have done away with them much sooner, in my opinion.
Strangely, the "I've been in love with you for as long as I've known you" concept used in all books in this series works well, in the sense that it makes the stories more believable. Take that element away and I would be rolling my eyes on how Logan and Nate felt after a single sexual encounter. So the detail that they have been (at least) lusting after each other for the last three years was fine by me.
The sex scenes were (as always in C. Dane's books) very hot but I found they dragged a bit and they could have been broken into more, smaller and more gratifying ones. Not that I'm complaining!
I also liked the crime/thriller part of the story quite much. Declan was not exactly my cup of tea-I wanted to smack him on the head and shout "get your shit together!" at him most of the time-but Pierce was an interesting character. In a Draco Malfoy kind of way :)
So, even though I'm giving this three stars (I wish I could give it more but that would mean giving it the same rating I gave Grey's Awakening and that one I adored), I'll definitely read any future books in this series.

The Characters: I never got attached to the main characters. I felt like I was being told to care when that attachment usually evolves through the narrative. Another big peeve here was that at times they didn't converse like real people. I found myself switching the author's words in my head from the opening chapter and that's never a good sign.
The Sex: Tab A fits into Tab B, then we make the requisite noises (groaning, grunting, moaning...) and whisper sweet nothings (you're so tight, ride me baby etc. etc.). M/M 101 stuff. There's certainly alot of sex, but sadly it's very dull.
The Plot: I thought this was a great premise if all the other kinks hadn't gotten in the way.
Verdict: Disappointing.

Steamy m/m romantic suspense about Quinn Security's newest employee, Logan, who lives by a series of rules designed to keep his heart safe. The sex and romance are completely overdone and unrealistic in the usual Cameron Dane way.
February 16, 2015
Re-read this one over break Christmas 2012. It was just as good as I remember! I can't say enough good things about Cameron Dane.
September 10, 2011
3.5 Stars I probably broke one of the cardinal rules of series reading--don't read out of order-- but I'm not sorry about it. I did skip the prior 3 books in the series, one of which was a mf book, & I don't think I missed too much by doing so.
Logan is a former detective & a new hire to Quinn Securities who first met Nate 3 years previously. There is a prologue that shows this meeting. Apparently they've run into each other on different occasions after that but a relationship between the two never developed. Indeed, in this book Nate & Logan besides working together to solve a case, spend the first 40 percent of the story circling & dancing around each other. There's a lot of 'cockblocking' (phones ringing, people interrupting etc) going on. You either like this style or not. In this story, it worked for me. Nate is a very nice, self deprecating & smart guy while Logan is a brooding tortured soul who is trying to live by certain rules or 'laws.' There was good character development & the two had good chemistry together.
The mystery/case to solve of finding a missing girl was fairly average. It does get points for no one acting really stupid, endangering themselves for no reason & each character showed different strengths in the investigating. It does a nice job of showing Nate & Logan working as partners. Once the relationship develops, there is a lot of space given to show each character's growth, strength & them working through their problems.
Unfortunately, at the halfway point we also get into excessively long sex scenes. OK, I'll admit it's probably just a personal preference. But one sex scene went on for 15 pages--15 PAGES! Of the most excessively overly descriptive scene written in the purplest of purple prose with some of the most unique & odd word choices. Afterwards, I was wiped out, and not in a good way.
I was still entertained by the majority of the story & liked the interaction between the two guys. I like the way the author actually have them talk things through like mature men. It made me forgive all the excessive sex scenes. There were some characters that were introduced like Riley, who I wouldn't mind reading more about if he's the next series star.

I have to say normally I Love Cameron Dane. Gut this Book is not one of her best Books in my opinion. Don't get me wrong: it is good, but I expected more of it
Nevertheless it is worth the time.

I really enjoyed Breaking Logan's Laws. Melodramatic? Check. Hot sex? Check. Great MC's? Check. Cameron Dane's naughty, purple prose? Check. *Sigh*, makes me happy.
Logan is an ex detective (known from previous books). He can be gruff, alpha yet sweet, sexy and has a set of laws that keep him distanced from, potentially, having his heart broken. Since his work related injury had put him on desk duty he quit the force and joined Quinn Security. Now he is heading up a case about a missing girl from a wealthy family and is thrown in with Kasey's younger brother Nate. Logan is gay but is in the closet, not wanting it to be revealed, concerned it may affect his working life.
Nate was introduced in The Ultimate Kink and has been working at Quinn Security for the past 3 years, keeping him in touch with, and crushing on the sexy, older Logan. Nate is dealing with his own past hurt and, as a result, is reluctant to reveal his sexuality and desires for Logan to Logan, fearful of painful repercussions. Nate is a really nice, sweet, honest character.
Breaking Logan's Laws really had a fast pace with an excellent plot that made me race through to see who was behind the disappearance and other case intrigues. I loved the two MC's, Logan and Nate, they were interesting in their own right as well as a sexy couple.
This book was another good read from Cameron Dane. As per usual, I'm totally addicted to her writing. I hope there are more to come in this series to feed this addiction.

This book made me realize that Cameron Dane could become a very successful mystery/murder author, if she wanted to. It's probably the most complete and complexe investigation she ever created (or any other authors of romance books, for that matter). The story was well-written and unpredictable, there was so many leads in the investigation that I couldn't tell who was the murderer. I was shocked to learn who killed the victim.
Regarding the romance part of the book, it was really good (as always with this author). The characters were likeable and I loved their evolution through the story. Nate was shy and uncertain at first, but then he started ascertaining himself and became an extraordinary confident man. I loved that, by the end, he was ready to risk everything to win Logan’s complete love and devotion.
As for Logan, it was really interesting to see the change operating in him through the story. From a rigid and strict man ruled by his laws, he became a more open and tender man who accepted to show his vulnerability to the man he loved. I don't know why, but at first, I thought that Logan was bi. I was surprised to see that he was strictly gay, but I preferred it that way. What I appreciated the most was the fact that the characters' evolution seemed believable, it was not forced or sudden. And in Logan’s case, it was quite painful.
Ultimately, I really loved this book and the characters. It's my second favorite of the series, after the first about Adam and Rhone.

>Read the entire series except The Ultimate Kink
The books are quite well-written, but with several flaws that I can't seem to forgive.
1. The characters tend to read like sexual offenders. I'm not a guy, but I somehow doubt that they get an erection staring at someone they've just met, or just about every time they lay eyes on them.
2. The 'strength of the relationship'/omgjuzrite thing that they feel for each other might be okay for a shifter story where they have a reason to mate for life or whatever, but in a contemporary setting, it's kind of unrealistic. Great chemistry is possible, but the characters act like they've never had good sex before.
3. The sex is ten pages long. At least. It's boring. With Logan and Nate I half hoped they'd never confess their feelings just so I don't have to flip through moar sex scenes.
4. Some parts of the story felt unnecessarily long. Especially in the 3rd and 4th book, where all the distrust and angst felt like a way to add to the word count and to add an extra make up sex scene. And as I've stated in No.3, the sex scenes extend the word count immeasurably indeed.
5. I think they should just change their name to Quinn Charity.
Other than that, the books were a decent read.

I love Cameron Dane. It's hard to find erotica with an actual plot, but not only do I end up loving her characters, but they do more than just sex each other up the entire time. Don't get me wrong, her love scenes are extremely hot, but she actually tells an interesting story as well.
In this latest installment of the Quinn Security Series, a new member (Logan) is added to the team, one who's been fighting his attraction to Nate for what seems like forever. Both characters have scars that make you ache for them both, and cheer when they finally give in to their desires. The underlying mystery is interesting, and though you may guess at the ending, I didn't. Or at least I got if half right, anyway :)
Logan's and Nate's story is both angsty and sweet, once again feeding my love of hurt/comfort stories. Definitely recommended, as is the series.

This was a miss for me unfortunately. I do enjoy this author's work, but this just didn't work at all. I didn't feel the connection between the characters. This slow burn attraction they had...didn't work for me. The sex was too fast, the emotions were too strong given their interactions.
I liked the mystery/crime element of the story, but I had it figured out around 60% which was kind of a bummer, but I liked it.
I liked Wes and Riley, hope to see more there.
Declan broke my heart.

3.5 stars rounding to 4. Awesome read. I love the passion and intensive love the MCs felt towards each other and the scenes of demonstrative affection towards each other. I loved the slow burn in the first part of the book, however it's like the author felt the need to make up for that by writing long drawn out sex scenes in the other half of the book. After awhile it became so excessive I finally had to skim them.
July 26, 2012
It's amazing to me that I buy books by reading the blub and maybe some reviews... and only after I finish the book do I notice who the is author (except when I search for a particular author's work). Several times now, I've noticed after finishing a book it was written by Cameron Dane. I'm going to be adding this author on my list of ones to keep watch of.
March 14, 2017
3.5 but rounding up to 4 because the MCs were to die for! Loved them! The drawn out sex scene were ott...seriously they were pages and pages long.
I'm hoping the author will write a story for Wes and Riley either as a couple or a story for each of the guys.

Nate Jordan and former Detective Logan Jefferies have been fighting their attraction for one another ever since they met. But when they have to partner up on a missing persons case at Quinn Security, their control is sorely tested.
I loved the two books featuring Adam and Rhone so I was pretty confident I'd enjoy this one and I wasn't wrong. But I wasn't entirely right either. There were a few problems. The first one was the length. It was much too long. The second was the ridiculous sex scenes. It was steamy at times but any book that uses the word chute has me cringing. The third problem was the amount of sex. It overtook the plot and it started to drag. And it's a shame because the mystery plot was the best part of the book.
Logan and Nate were super sweet together and I loved that Nate didn't take any of Logan's crap. I really liked that he was willing to compromise and be reasonable but he also wasn't willing to buckle under every demand Logan had. It was a nice change. The relationship between them develops slowly allowing the investigation into the missing girl to take center stage. That worked really well, until they do get together and then it's kind of a mess. Once they were together the narrative seemed to struggle to find a balance between sex and the plot.
So that sucked, but the ending was pure brilliance. I loved how it all unfolded and how they worked to piece the clues together. Although the
A steamy m/m romantic suspense with an interesting mystery let down only by the length and some ridiculous sex scenes. 4 stars.

I'm confused on this part "“Bullshit.” Canin pulled “Nate into the empty conference room. As soon as the
door clicked closed, he raised his voice, saying, “Nate‟s already upset because the
Sarna kid is morphing back into that asshole you first told me about.”
Don't you mean Canin pulled LOGAN inside even though Nate was already inside the elevator? There's another that it was a probably a mistake edited but don't remember where it is.
I love Logan and Nate's relationship! It was so cute that I want more!
Declan, how stupid is he for falling for Pierce?! Speaking of Pierce what happens to him now?! Jerk as always?
Will Riley ever find his sister?

Another steamy romance by Cameron Dane. Logan and Nate have great chemistry. I loved that Nate stood up to Logan, even though Logan is the older, more experienced and more jaded of the two. Logan has also spent his whole life in the closet, so it is hard for him to express his feelings openly for Nate. The sex scenes are hot and long...just how I like them (and Cameron Dane excels at.) The last little bit of the story went off the tracks, but it came back to a nice ending.
September 3, 2017
I really enjoyed this instalment about Logan and Nate. Logan is closed off and keeps much to himself where Nate is outgoing and open with his feelings. Somehow these two gravitate to each other and a wonderful relationship begins. Another great addition to this series.
