Initially I wasn’t really happy about Brett’s reaction to his sister’s death. I mean he seemed to focus more on Rylan and the lifestyle rather than mourne and elaborate the loss. But slowly through the development of their relationship and their very private investigation on Celia’s death, I grew more and more affectionate to Brett. The BDSM aspect of the story is pretty light, and the descriptions are not very detailed, so if you do not enjoy books centered on BDSM relationships you should be fine with this story. Rylan is a very strong character and his connection to Brett just eases the stress deriving from his very demanding profession. I really liked the fact that the author dedicated time and pages to the aftermath of the second tragedy and its impact on Rylan and Brett as individuals and as a couple. These were the Chapters where their connection was the closest and the writing was at its best.
