The last three guys Phillip dated are dead. Is he next?
When successful businessman Phillip Barone attends a lover’s funeral and discovers he
was just the latest of Phillip’s partners to die, Phillip knows he’s in trouble.
He also knows just the man he needs.
Former Marine Barry Malone would love a second chance with Phillip—he just wishes the
romance could be rekindled under better circumstances. But Phillip’s stalker is
escalating, and if Barry cannot solve the mystery of who wants Phillip dead and
why, he might lose him for good. Barry’s determined, but the investigation
struggles against the wit of a crafty killer—one
who is closer to Phillip than they could have realized.
Luckily Barry is even closer, and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the man he’s
falling in love with all over again.

Phillip Barone is a super successful businessman. He loves his work and has an amazing capacity for focus on his games and developing platforms. Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t see the subtle, and not so subtle, signs that something truly dark and dangerous is going on in his life.
The mystery of the stalker was the most successful part of this book for me. Watching as Phillip becomes aware of the events is paced out well and gives the whole story a great feeling of suspense. Phillip, as a character, is really well developed and he is immediately likable. I didn’t feel the same connection with Barry Malone, and as a result, their romance didn’t feel as smoothly developed.
The resolution of the mystery was very satisfying, with a decent happily ever after for the main characters. Fans of a good mystery will enjoy this book.
