Nick is so good at these types of stories. Troy and Iskander have serious heat together and as I mentioned before, the mystery component really adds to the story without becoming the main attraction. If you can accept all of that, however, then the rest the story is really good. I also felt that Troy, having been burned so badly with his last relationship, would have been more reluctant to get involved in a relationship with another member of his father’s team. I also really thought that Iskander would have been more reluctant to get involved with someone in his charge and so much younger, and would have therefore dragged his feet more before diving in. If I have any complaints it would be that I had a very hard time wrapping my brain around the idea that Troy‘s father would not have a major problem with this relationship. ![]() While I am not a big mystery fan, I really appreciated the mystery and excitement in this story.
