Kevin is a former police officer who, after suffering traumatic injuries in an automobile accident, developed special abilities. Unable to return to his job, and after a disastrous attempt to help the federal authorities, Kevin retreated to Wyoming. While not exactly happy, he is content with his life. One phone call from his brother in law changes all that. Connor has just become a detective. Tragic circumstances in his life lead him into law enforcement and the last thing he wanted to do was baby-sit some make believe psychic. Working together is a little touch and go for the two men as they learn how to deal with each other. After Kevin has a particularly hard time handling one of his visions, Connor realizes that everything he thought about himself would have to change because Kevin has become his new priority. As the two men look for a serial killer they soon realize that it’s those closer to home they may have to worry about.
I absolutely loved The Long Way Home by ZA Maxfield. I loved it so much that if my PDA had not broken, I would have reread it right away. The characters, both strong law enforcement types, each struggle with traumas from their pasts. While Connor's past has caused him to deny his preference for men, Kevin is openly gay. This, however, is not the sticking point in their relationship; Kevin’s special abilities are. The way that the author handles the criminal aspects of the story, while at the same time allowing the men to express both humor and their growing love for each other keeps what otherwise could be too heavy of a story enjoyable. The Long Way Home is an exceptional book and should be on everyone’s to-be-read list.
