Publisher's summary

Gabriel "Fox" Morrison is starting a brand new chapter in his life. He spent years drifting after his time in the military and finally felt ready to settle in one spot. This leads him to becoming the head detective of the recently opened Stonewall Investigations in Miami. His first case is one that not only hits close to home, but the result could have huge repercussions for more than just him and his client.

It's a case so big, he decides to enlist some help.

Jonah Brightly is ending a huge chapter of his life. Him and his girlfriend have zero spark and his professional career is in shambles after an on-work incident leaves him with more than a physical scar. A new job as a private detective would be a lifeline he so badly needed.

He goes in for his interview and meets Fox, the man who changes everything for him.

Both of them are rocked by an unexplainable force, and both are left questioning everything they've known in its wake. As they form a bond, they learn there's much more that brings them together than holds them apart. But can they keep fanning the flames of their newfound passion, or will they be consumed by the growing fire?

Contains mature themes.

Swoony, funny, and steamy

Awww, this was so much fun. It was swoony, funny, and steamy. It might be my favourite of the Stonewall books!

It has a really great gay awakening and a sweet guy who finds someone to love him wholly. Together Jonah and Fox have sexual tension that could power a generator, and a connection to make us all a little jealous.

As these two Stonewall detectives try to take down a drug ring, they also have to figure out if they will be stuck pinning for each other or if they get their dream man alongside their dream job.

Brought to life by Greg Boudreaux’s narration you get a really fun story to fill your day.

Oh to have a love like this...

I smiled so much my cheeks hurt. Beautifully written love. Great story arc. Love Greg’s narration, as always.

Excitement and romance

The story was suspenseful, sexy and sweet. Couldn't pause. The narration was professional and excellently performed.

Too whinny

I really liked the previous series but this one is full of too much whinny bullshit, I liked the previous series because it didn’t have much of that but this book has way too much

Excellent

Great start to a new series. New author for me. I always enjoy starting an new series with new authors.

Decent story. Good narration.

The melodrama and hormone fueled plot continue. If you appreciate either one of those, you will enjoy the story. I had a little trouble with ex-girlfriend hate. She may not have been a sweetheart, but she probably didn't deserve to be lied to either.

I have been listening to the Stonewall series, and something kept bothering me about the storytelling. I couldn't quite sort it out until this book. The problem is the first person narration. Some of the internal dialogue doesn't match the character's personality. Describing the sunset in eloquent details if the the character doesn't speak eloquently just doesn't work. This made parts of the narration feel uncomfortable to me.

I also had a little trouble with the way a former law enforcement officer behaved. The author tells me the character was law enforcement, but he seems to be missing some of the quirks you expect if you know one. More show and less tell would help me believe the story a bit more.

I appreciate the social commentary and the the characters do seem to have chemistry. This is a decent read/listen if you are looking for a steamy story with detectives.

Bad Idea

Omg this audio book was absolutely positively amazing. I would highly recommend this audio book.

An okay start to a new series

I absolutely loved the original Stonewall series & was so very excited when we headed down to Miami. What I didn't like is the story was all about the two of them & basically all sex. The mystery took a back seat, way back seat. Even though I was disappointed with this one, that won't stop me from continuing on with the series.

Nice story! thanks💚💙💛

Great story for all happiest days! Will read more of this type of happiness!
TYVM!

Sexy and Intriguing, You Won’t Stop Listening.

This was my first introduction into the Stonewall Investigation universe and what a way to start. The main protagonists are crafted with such unique complexity that it truly felt like real people with complicated pasts trying their best to get a fresh start. You’ll see a good balance between crime/drama and romance, but this one does read as more of a romance than a crime drama which I loved. I must admit the romantic encounters between these two gentlemen were hot and I could not help but want to hear more. Overall it was a great read and led me to purchase three other books in this series. Highly recommended.
