3.5 
 I liked this book, but I wanted to like it more. I liked Julian and Cameron together; I maybe could have loved them together, but the fact that more time/description was devoted to waiting tables than sex (seriously - all but one sex scene was either FTB or just alluded to,while I lost count of the number of times that we saw Cameron pull that corkscrew out of his pocket to open a bottle of wine) made that difficult. Neither man is very fleshed-out - Julian lies about his past and occupation (the reader sees him at work sometimes - we know what he does but not which letters of the alphabet he does it for), and I don't recall seeing mention of Cam even having a past (other than the fact he inherited his condo and has been working at the restaurant for eight years). We're told and we see that Julian is good at his job; it's a good thing because (view spoiler)[he kinda sucks in a fight (hide spoiler)] I also felt like they were talking but not listening (view spoiler)[Cam kept telling Julian he was afraid FOR him, not OF him, but Julian never did seem to hear the difference (hide spoiler)] 
 On to what worked for me: 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 I really, really, really liked that Cam didn't become one of those regular Joe type guys who suddenly develop mad skillz and save the day at the end. He stays average. He does tone-up some, but that was more as an outlet for his grief (though I would've liked to see Julian's reaction to Cam's buffed-up bod). 
 I liked Miri; sure she was annoying at times and nosy, but she truly had Cam's best interests at heart. Got a friend who is seeing someone who is very clearly hiding Some Serious Shit? You gonna just let it go? Me neither. 
 I liked Blake. He was a good friend and handler/boss to both men. 
 I want Smith & Wesson to come live at my house. 
 My knee-jerk reaction was to be pissed at Julian for not letting Cam know he was alive and more pissed at Cam for getting over it so quickly, but then I thought about it. Cam and Julian had not gotten back together; Julian still thought Cam was done with him, so why *would* he risk life and limb (his own and Cam's) to give him a message? He totally deserved the punches from Blake, though.

 Since we see these two in the Armed & Dangerous "crossover" I guess an epilogue is unnecessary, but I would absolutely love to revisit them in an action-free story that fleshes out the characters and their relationship more... one with lots and lots of open-door sex.
