Harry and his partner, Jack, have transferred from Homicide to Vice and both men hate it and the unwelcome changes it has brought to their lives. The stake-outs are dangerous, the drug dealers are too numerous to count and the late night shifts put Harry opposite of his lover Jason and their two best friends, Sammy and Peter. And to make matters worse, Harry and Jack can’t transfer to another department until eighteen months have elapsed.
The only thing that makes life bearable to Harry is Jason’s love and devotion and the two are counting the days until Harry can go back to Homicide. Disaster strikes when a drug ring stake-out goes bad, killing Jack and endangering Harry…physically and emotionally. With Jason supporting Harry while he heals, it falls to Sammy to hold everything else together and he’s wearing himself ragged, trying to help his friends and take care of Peter and the shop. When Sammy is ready to drop from exhaustion, it’s up to Peter to step in and take control, fulfilling the needs of his loving sub. It’s a case of friends standing firm in the face of potential devastation, because Harry might never be the same again.
Trial by Fire is the fourth and newest release in Sean Michael’s ongoing Between Friends series and it’s the most emotionally intense and painful book of the series, so far. With the change in work status, there’s a lot going on in Harry’s life, and it’s putting an emotional strain on him, and stress on his lover, Jason, and Mr. Michael’s description of this part of their life is spot on. The friendship between the Harry and Jason, and Sammy and Peter is just as strong and supportive as ever. In fact, Sammy really steps up and takes control when Jason needs him, putting his own health at risk.

What I didn’t expect was the rollercoaster ride of emotions with the suffering Harry underwent after the stake-out went bad. This portion of the story is where the author truly outdid himself. These scenes are heart wrenchingly painful, thoughtful, and well-written and shows the love and understanding both couple have for each other. I don’t know where the series is going with the next release, but I can’t wait to find out.
