Life Lessons, Book 2

De: Kaje Harper

Narrado por: J.F. Harding

Sometimes one moment defines a man.

For homicide detective Mac, it's been a good year. Having Tony to go home to makes him a better cop and a better person. For Tony, it's been hard being in love with a man he can't touch in public. Evasions and outright lying to friends and family take a little of the shine off his relationship with Mac, but Tony is determined to make it work.

As the Minneapolis Police Department moves into a hot, humid summer, Mac is faced with a different challenge. A killer has murdered two blond women, and the police have no real clues. Mac hates to think that another murder may be the only way they'll make progress with the case. But when that murder happens, it hits close to home for Tony. And suddenly Mac faces an ultimatum: Come out into the sunlight and stand beside Tony as his lover, or walk away and live without a piece of his heart.

Great middle book

I’ll start by saying I love Mac and Tony. They work in so many ways and yeah, I was sorry at the end of book 1 that they couldn’t come out as a couple, but I respected the choices they made. The way they shared a special relationship while also being part of their kid’s lives (Mac’s daughter and Tony’s best friend’s son who he spends tons of time with). Things are going along well in this book until a murder threatens to destroy everything they’ve built. I’ll admit it – I worried. Mac’s so far in the closet that he can’t even see a sliver of daylight and Tony’s suddenly fighting to keep what he has and can’t be worried about hurting Mac.

It's a mess.

But Kaje gives her characters great conflict with the promise of great resolution. I wasn’t sure how far the resolution would take me, given there are other books in the series. But I was uniquely satisfied with this ending. Oh, and you know, serial killer and all that stuff as well. Everything just worked seamlessly and I can’t wait for the next book.

I will also say I think JF Harding is the perfect narrator for this series. He does a great job with Mac and Tony and yet also does brilliantly with the kids.

Intense!

This book made me cry so hard but I'm so happy with how it ended. I love Mac and Tony, and Ben and Anna. This is such a good book. I stayed up all night listening to the audio book. I love the narrator.

Great Series

I am absolutely loving this series. This especially just sucked me right in and kept me hooked all the way through. When you add the narration by J. F. Harding, it becomes even more amazing. I can't wait to start book 3.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Just as good as the first

J.F. Harding sure can tell a story. Kaje Harper sure can write a story. this is book two, you really need to enjoy the first book before listening to this one. This story definitely keeps you not only interested but, on the edge of your seat. Its not just a closeted never coming out story. its a mystery murder gay romance that is outstanding. In not sure what else could happen with this couple but, I'd love to see there be more stories. These will most certainly be books I go back to listen to over and over. so glad I got to listen and review it. Get these books, the Audible is outstanding and you'll enjoy them from start to finish.

loved it. kept me wanting more!

I didnt put this one down. I got through the whole thing in one sitting. wish there was a third one
