About this listen

Zane Holden hasn't had the easiest go of things. His childhood was rough, and adulthood hasn't been a walk in the park, either. The only good thing in his life would be Stonewall Investigations, an investigative company he found to work primarily with the LGBTQ community. Things were okay, and Zane was finally healing from a personal tragedy, but the reemergence of a serial killer turns his world upside down.

Lorenzo De Luca is a cocky defense attorney dripping in Italian charm. He's well known as one of the best lawyers in New York City, a title he worked hard to achieve. When he picks up a difficult case, he finds that he needs extra help. This leads him to Stonewall, where he meets Zane for the first time and instantly feels himself falling for the mysterious and stone-cut detective.

The two men have their own hangups to work through, but both men are having a hard time denying the connection between them, even though they're trying. When fate insists on pushing them together, Zane and Enzo give in and start exploring their feelings. They'll need to balance their budding relationship with the stress of Enzo's case, which takes them both on a twisting journey toward the truth, all while a bigger threat looms on the horizon.

Contains mature themes.

Excellent story

This was a beautiful start to their love story. The drama was tense and fast flowing and the narration was perfect

Gripping

There’s some real twists and scary moments in this book. But I just couldn’t stop listening.

The narration is OUTSTANDINGLY brilliant and brings every character to life in perfect detail

Ok this Narrator is an instant One click for me.

I hadn't ever read Max Walker before, but was looking for something that Greg Boudreaux Had Narrated and to be honest figured why not.
I wasn't disappointed I love this book, the storyline was so brilliant leaving the Unicorn uncaught for the next book, who knows the whole series?
I will be getting the rest of this series, I have to say some Narrators just make a story and that was it for me,I have bought a few books I would never have found because of that.

Great story, great characters. I absolutely loved Greg Boudreaux’s narration. Am definitely a fan of his from now on. And definitely listening to the whole series.

Patchy story

At the start of the story we were introduced to the Unicorn killer as if this case was going to be the subject of the investigation. And then we hear nothing more about it. It was an odd switch and confused me. The story was okay, but the sex/ story balance was heavily on the sex side.

Stonewalled then broke down

It's so disappointing when a book with a good blurb and a good narrator turns out to be such a miss I stalled after only 30 mins with this one, amid the cat worship by the 2nd MC.................. enough already. I always wondered why so many good mm books are written by women; perhaps it's their attention to detail and description? This author is fixated on a cat.

hard Going

Gave up about half way in. the story is impossible to follow when literally every second sentence is about erections. Besides that the story, characters and performance is very limp.

Dull

I’ll be honest and say that I only managed an hour or two of this. I was expecting a detective story and instead I got erotica - 80% sex and 20% story. Maybe that balance changes as the story progresses but it felt like a couple of hours of my life that I’ll never get back and I lost interest.

Very bland story

I found the story rushed and without much depth. Was more like a collection of random moments in time than a well thought out plot.

Good performances though.
