Noah and Cole have one spicy night in Las Vegas and go their separate ways.
Fate brings them back together again to solve that a string of murders in Iowa.
Noah is a single father to a teenage daughter. And I really like how involved she was in the book and how Noah involved her via tutoring and family dinners in his relationship with Cole and had complete disclosure with her about their relationship (not the spicy stuff obviously, but she does bust Noah with hickies).
This is a great mystery book. I would hesitate to call it spicy, but it's definitely a romance. I'm giving it 🌶/5 chilie on the spicy scale. Most of the scenes are behind closed doors and the ones that are not are not descriptive.
Noah and Cole do get their HEA and a great epilogue.
I listened to the audio book and enjoyed it.

This was SUCH a fun ride. I love a good murder mystery on its own, but when you throw in queer romance? I’m immediately hooked.
The story has a great balance of tension, investigative intrigue, slow-burn connection, and emotional stakes. The chemistry between the leads was so good — heartfelt, messy, a little intense — and the mystery plot genuinely surprised me. I didn’t predict the twist at all, which is always a win.
My only complaint (and the reason it’s a 4 instead of a 5) is the lack of communication. These two had entire Shakespearean soliloquies in their inner thoughts while saying NOTHING out loud. Like babes… you’re both suffering for no reason
