After a disagreement with his lover, Nick Jackson left his home in Harbour Springs for a job with the Chicago SWAT team. A year later, while he’s on an extended medical leave recuperating from a gun shot wound, he learns his submissive ex-boyfriend has gone missing. Fearing the worst, he drops everything and rushes home; desperate to find the man he left behind, but never could get out of his heart.
When he discovers that his ex-lover’s life is in danger, marital arts expert Tristan McTavish tries to deal with the threat himself. When he wakes in the local hospital, he finds Nick - with gun - sitting at his bedside and without a memory of what happened. As the ex-lovers each try to heal from their injuries, they must learn to deal with their fears and the feelings of a powerful love that never went away.
Finding Love is a suspenseful and sexy novella length release by Simone Anderson and the opening pages pulled me immediately into the intriguing plot. The characters of Nick and Tristan are interesting and well developed; the situation and danger nicely paced, and the premise pulled right out the pages of today’s news media.
I have to admit that the person stalking Tristan and endangering both his and Nick’s life was a total mystery up until the point the culprit’s identity was revealed. Then there’s the issue of Tristan’s angry, homophobic brothers. These guys bring to mind the hate and intolerance that so many gay and transgender individuals experience with so-called family, friends and employers every day.
The love and passion between Nick and Tristan swirls around them, even during those moments when they’re upset, angry and afraid. The unsettled emotions they’re each feeling, as well as their sense of worthlessness, I found particularly well written. There were times when I thought that the pain of the past would drive a wedge permanently between these two lovers, but Ms. Anderson got them back together in a romantic, pulling-at-the-heartstrings way that showed real creativity. Good job!
