GOING IT ALONE
Too many ghosts live inside James Masterson's head, and they weren't the company he sought. Actually, he prefers no one's company, but he finds himself surrounded by overly friendly, meddlesome types while visiting his brother at The Gates in DTLA. Somehow, James becomes the unwelcome subject of Detective Richard Ross's attention, and, before he knows how it happened, James is caught up in Ross's family drama. When a madman tries to kill Ross's sister and her daughter, James's special ops Army training kicks in, and he becomes their hero, something he knows down to his core, he is not. The thing about crazy killers is they never give up, and when the final showdown comes to a head, James knows he'll do anything to keep the family he has found, especially the love of a sexy detective.
Customer Reviews
Sometimes, you just can't let go, until you need to.
James, medically discharged suffers from PTSD. He has an over abundance hero complex that compels him to step up when he sees what he perceives someone hurting or bullying another. He makes a rookie mistake during a domestic disagreement. He not only ends up stopping the altercation, but the person he thought he was saving, attacks him. Rookie mistake! He came to check on his brother, Finn and was satisfied realizing Miguel would take care of Finn. He suffered a little guilt, leaving Finn behind, but he had no choice but to leave. He has quite a few demons he was fighting. Detective Ross, seems to always turn up during his miscalculations. Detective Ross, is attracted to James. He recognizes James has issues, but his interest/attraction has a higher precedent. James, saves Ross's sister and niece and steps into an entirely new intrigue. James, gets an opportunity to utilize his military skills while honing his social skills. The hits for the group at The Gates keep on coming. The journey for James and Ross is not easy. They each must face some growth. Can James and Ross trust each other? Can James and Ross respect their individual professions? Does James' nightmare ever end? Does Ross get his man? Good story. Well done! I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
