About this listen

Erik Mitchell traveled the world uncovering art fraud and relic theft, which pitted him against spoiled billionaires, unscrupulous collectors, mobsters, and cartels. He worked with law enforcement across the US and Europe, but then a sting goes wrong, Erik ends up injured and returns to find his partner cheating. He decides to stop globetrotting and buy an antique shop in scenic Cape May, New Jersey, rebuild his life, and nurse his broken heart.

Undercover Newark cop Ben Nolan went down in a hail of bullets when a bust went sideways, after a tip-off from a traitor inside the department. When he recovers, he spends a couple of years as a private investigator, only to tire of seeing the worst of human nature. So when his aunt offers him the chance to take over her rental real estate business in Cape May, it seems too good to be true. Now if he could just believe he could ever be lucky again in love.

Sparks fly when Erik and Ben meet. But when a cursed hotel's long-ago scandals resurface, the two men are pulled into a web of lies, danger, and deception that will test their bond - and might make them Cape May's newest ghosts!

Contains mature themes.

I loved the world building and gradual introduction of characters. Just bought the next in the series and hope for many more

Great story and very good narration

A refreshingly different gay romance, where there is real intrigue and a fast paced developing story running with the romance in the background. The good narration also brought the story to life.

It was a completely different storyline than the run of the mill gay romance

Love the story and looking forward to more in this series
John Solo’s voice had this sharp emphasis at the end of sentences or on certain words that was both irritating and distracting.

Not sure about the narrator

I started listening to this because of the narrator John Solo. I loved his previous work on "Hush" and "Enemies of the State" (much better books than this one).
The story is laid out lazily, preventing me from building a connection to the characters. There may be an interesting plot somewhere in there, but I fell asleep.

First, you get Erik's life story. His family, past relationship, intentions, preferences in muscular men, work, talents -- you get everything all at once. Then, the whole exposition about the hotel is told through dialogue. And finally, Ben's life story is dumped all at once (not forgetting to mention his muscles).
It's a shame, because there are parts about these two men that can be relatable. For instance, the sister who gets all the attention from the patents. This fact could have been placed somewhere else in the book where it would have an impact. The same goes for Ben's scars from the last job.
After the exposition dump, the story moves straight into flying sparks and jolting groins, and then conversations about it. By the time Erik gets to doing his job and some mystery stuff finally happens, I'm too tired to follow. Boring!
