Officer Noel Carlson isn’t out to anyone in small-town Stratton,
Pennsylvania, only to distant friends and family, so a relationship is
out of the question. That doesn’t stop him from wanting one, though.
When
a night-shift call brings him face to thonged butt with a hired
stripper whose girl-party gig went terribly wrong, Noel takes pity on
the guy and lets him go. But he can’t get the encounter out of his mind.
Shane
has big-time debts to repay, especially to the brother who sacrificed
nearly everything for him. His two jobs, in a deli and as a stripper,
leave him no time for a social life. But a non-date of hot sex and
takeout food with Noel? He can squeeze that in.
The bond they form
is stronger than either expected or wanted. Especially since the step
Shane’s about to take to put his brother—and his soul—back in the black
isn’t quite legal. And he never calculated just how much his
determination to make things right will cost him in the end.
Netter Lesestoff für zwischendurch, bei dem sich allerdings unerwartet tiefgründige Passagen mit reichlich nervtötenden und zum Teil leider auch ziemlich öden abwechseln. Von daher ist das E-Book seinen Preis in meinen Augen eigentlich nicht wert. Dennoch habe ich es bis zum Ende durch gelesen und werde wohl - oder auch übel - nach weiteren Teilen der Reihe Ausschau halten, in der Hoffnung, dass diese mir vielleicht besser gefallen ...
