A Heart’s Desire
Kris Michaels
Genre: M/M FBI Romance
Agent McKenzie is nobody’s ‘yes’ boy and has the
letters of reprimand to prove it. He smells the stink of political maneuvering
in this case and he can see the handwriting on the wall. Hell, the words are
three feet high and written in crayon. Someone in his own agency wants a target
on Liam Mercier’s back but McKenzie would be damned if he’d put one there. The
damaged man currently in his custody needs his protection, not manipulation.
That’s why he’d agreed to use a safe house that was off the grid. Throwing away
his rarely used FBI procedure book had nothing to do with the protective urges
he felt around Liam. Nope, not a damn thing to do with heavy doses of desire,
or spikes of lust. He was just doing his job, after all, he has a killer to
catch and a victim to keep alive. Protecting his best bet of taking that sick
bastard down was his civic duty.
Forced to face the nightmares of his past or lose his
pension, Liam Mercier did the only thing he could do. He walked back into his
personal hell. The man assigned to protect him is everything Liam wanted and
needed—four years ago. Leaving the small island of sanity he’d been existing on
could cost him everything. But being hunted by a genius, sadistic killer
without the protection of the sexy, intense, agent was a guaranteed death
sentence. Fate had dictated Liam’s course four years ago. The only thing he
questioned was when his killer going to finish his work.
Read an excerpt here
Haunted by the traumatic events of five years, Liam lives in fear of the man who tortured him. When the serial killer escapes, Liam has no choice but to try to help the FBI catch him. He does not expect for the agent in charge to awaken feelings that have been gone for years. McKenzie is instantly attracted to the man he is supposed to protect, and it doesn't take long before they both give into to the attraction. I loved the way that he took care of Liam's needs, both physically and emotionally. Liam's old self began to come out the more he worked on the case. Loved the drama and suspense of the case, but felt the romance moved too quickly and was a bit on the cheesy side. Having said that, I still enjoyed the story and I'm really hoping that McKenzie's parter Sam gets his own book.
I received an ARC for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
