Mickey likes it rough in the bedroom (or hallway, corner…wherever) and craves a release only a few have been able to give him. However, the hot hook-up at the club obliterated all of his barriers. He escaped from the very life Benito is desperately trying to cut ties from. He’s acutely aware that the iron vise grip of addiction may lessen but never disappears. He’s breaking apart and every crack is deeper and wider. What he wasn’t expecting was to lose things along the way that were even more valuable than drugs and cash. He must buy his freedom and it’s not cheap. However, life as a road boy claims many things, including your independence. After he fell from the top he longed to be free. Benito has a hard time asking for anything let alone that. More often than not, forgiveness is there if you ask for it. But how about a mixture of despair and hope so potent that you’ll feel straight down to your bones? Would you like a tale about two men so focused on ferociously battling their own demons they don’t even realize they’ve mistakenly fallen in love? Then hold up! But wait, is love ever a mistake? I don’t think so and I’d imagine Leigh doesn’t either. Do you want fluff? Sorry, you won’t find any here. If you’re looking for angels and saints, I’ll save you the trouble and advise you to keep on moving. You won’t find any frills or coddling here. I’m not saying Garrett has a dark side but this series certainly falls into the shadowed corner of her bookshelf.
I felt this contradiction in Benito and Mickey’s story. “ I love you but I don’t like you…right now.” Have you ever heard that phrase? It’s straightforward but complicated and an accurate oxymoron in this case. If Benito wants deliverance from his old life and a future with Mickey, old ghosts need to die. As his desperate lies unravel, so does the fledgling love that’s grown between them. He can’t look back, not even for the beautiful Benito, the last soul on earth he expected to steal his heart-a soul who’s knee-deep in the underworld Mickey has run hundreds of miles to escape.īenito can deny it all he wants, but Mickey can smell trouble a mile off.Īnd Benito is trouble with a capital T. Recovering addict Mickey Larwood has worked hard to leave his past behind. Complications abound, and before long, he’s falling for the only man who can save his family from eviction. An explosive hook-up in a club gifts him the relief he craves, but nothing about his life is ever so simple. Banished gangster Benito Martell is living on the edge.
