 Warning 
 : Serious angst here and of course another cliffhanger! 
 Okay, I might be the only one to say this but I was a bit confused with his one. So here we are, fast forward five months later where Jamie and Aiden are nothing more than FWB or even possibly CWB (colleagues with benefits). Of course we learn that Aiden is back to his dickhead ways while Jamie's heart is set on said dickhead. We get to hear of Aiden's 'dates' with other men, and this is where I get a bit confused. See it sounds like he is going back to his old ways; however, the way the author writes I cannot be certain if he truly has sex with them or if it's just all for show. 
 Case in point(s) 
 : 
 "With "Jamie" came warm, alluring, heartbeat-tripping memories of an intimacy he hadn't shared with him since. Or with any of the other men he'd dated the past five months, despite what Jamie thought about his promiscuity." 
 AND 
 "He needed distance- he'd let Jamie continue to think he fucked other men, if that's what pushed him away- but Aidan also needed him to understand not just any man would do." 
 Yet, one of Aiden's side pieces sees the marks that Jamie leaves on his back. 
 "You leave those marks on him last weekend?" 
 Therefore I can only conclude that something happened between them in order for Nic to see the marks on Aiden's back. I just want/need to know to what extent. 
 In book two, the boys are on the trail of the terrorist, Renaud. Unfortunately, he seems to know their every move and is quickly getting rid of any outstanding liability; leaving bodies in his wake. Their boss Mel ends up getting the two out-of-town on another case to hopefully stop Renaud's pursuits, and get the boys out of harm's way. However, Mel and Jamie continue to work the Renaud Case unbeknownst to Aiden. 
 What's this new case you ask? Well, Jamie is sent undercover as an assistant coach at Charlotte University as his old self, Whiskey Walker while Aiden goes under as his Sports Agent, Ian Daley. Their mission is to find out who is behind an online sports gambling site that is actually a front for an Identity Theft ring. For the most part, I really enjoyed this part of the storyline. What I didn't like was the jealousy that almost sabotaged their sting. They are professionals for goodness sakes! One would think with what is at stake with their mission (there is more than meets the eyes), that they wouldn't want to jeopardize it nor one another. But hey, what do I know right?!? I just felt it was out of line for the two Professional FBI agents that the author created; IMO it just didn't fit/feel right. 
 In the end, we are left with another cliffhanger, which I feel is not as gripping as the first book nor can I believe it given what we know up to this point. It's not that it is ridiculous, but given all prior information IMO it just doesn't seem likely. Now, the author might shock the heck out of me and bring new things to light and if that's the case....HECK YES! Because I love it when I cannot see what's coming. All in all, I'm excited to see what is next for these two. I am still waiting for the fallout/repercussions that will happen between Irish, Whiskey and Mel. Oh, and when that does happen.....that will definitely be some serious angst!
