Details

There is freedom in acceptance…

Mason Wright works for Homeland Security focusing on crimes against children. Five year old Koda is his beloved K9 partner, and aside from his brother, Koda is the only family Mason has. Recently diagnosed with PTSD, Mason takes some much needed time off to go visit his brother, but the little vacay unexpectedly turns into yet more work as he’s assigned the job of creating a task force to track down Jasper Monroe for his crimes. Monroe leads them on a merry chase but as they head into Mexico, Mason has a plan to take the dirty cop down.

Jarod Lopez is a new detective in the police force. Saddled with a homophobic partner, Jarod remains in the closet and just does as he’s told as the rookie of the department. Caring for his drug addict mother and hiding from his father’s past, Jarod keeps his head down and doesn’t make waves. The situation makes for a lonely life with little chance of his skills as a detective being put to good use. When the coveted chance to join a recently developed task force drops in his lap, Jarod jumps at the opportunity. Paired up with Mason as his new partner, Jarod finds himself experiencing things he never thought possible.

Will the pair find love while they chase down the bad guy and bring him to justice?

Review

⭐⭐⭐ 3.5 It was good, but it could've been better 

First of all, I liked the story, Jarod and Mason make a nice couple. I liked that both were clear with what they wanted from the relationship and there were no misunderstandings or miscommunications.

 It was funny that Mason told himself that Jarod was not his type, without knowing that Jarod was indeed his type, 100% his soulmate. 

❗Things to improve: The story is well done and developed, I have no doubt about that, but there is a point regarding the times when Jarod tried to get his mother rehabilitated. This is mentioned twice but the information is not entirely consistent. 

❗Another thing that needs improvement is in terms of the closure of the story and plot. Throughout the book, both the plot about the Task Force Team and the relationship of Mason and Jarod, is developed in detail, step by step. However, when it comes time to close the case, catch the bad guy and solidifying the relationship between Jarod and Mason everything happens abruptly.

❗Finally, the points of view: On several occasions Jarod and Mason repeated dialogues, thought the same thing and used the same words to express their feelings and thoughts about something, At times it felt like it was a single point of view or that the characters had the same personality and way of thinking.
