I read this book almost straight through, which given my full life is a bit tricky. I was not disappointed, and if I could afford to buy books as I need them I'd own the sequel right now. SOON. I loved our obstinate wounded singer and I loved our fierce softie cop. The heat is very hot. The conflicts are visceral and the murder mystery creeeeepy. Great book. Need the next one now. I don’t know when I have found characters that I reacted so to as much as Kane Morgan and his big Irish family of cops. I loved how they respected and treated one another and how they welcomed Miki St. John into their home and hearts when the people that abused him as a boy were hunting and trying to kill him. The Morgan’s never questioned it when their second son, Kane, said that Miki was someone very special to him... “I love him more than the next beat of my heart or the next breath I will take”, is how he said it, and how tirelessly he and his partner worked to try and stop the killing and further destruction of Miki’s remaining world, is how he proved it. Life had left Miki a tortured soul. He had previously found a sense of home and family with the band “Sinner’s Gin.” On the way home, after they had won a Grammy Award, a terrible car accident happened that left Miki as the sole survivor. He was alone, he was struggling, and he was simply lost. Then Kane Morgan enters his life ...a cop, from a family of cops, and he’s strong and steady, and willing to be Miki’s anchor and much more. The romance between the two of them is beautiful and honest. I thought that story was well written, for me it was a background to Miki’s path to peace and Kane’s growing adoration. I had two favorite parts...one is when Kane rattles off all the little things he knows about Miki, making it so clear that every little part of Miki is important to him, and loved. The second one was when Kane’s father and Miki talk about life, and what real love means while just the two of them are making lunch. I found this first book by accident, but I will diffidently find the second book on purpose. Miki has shut the world out since his friends and bandmates were killed in a tragic accident. But the world finds its way back into his life when the body the man who abused him as a child is dumped in his car. What's worse is that the body is found by his neighbor, Kane, who just happens to be a member of the SFPD. And as much as Miki would love to go back to his life as a hermit, that can't happen with a murder investigation, a killer who may have set his sights on Miki as his next target, and an attraction to Kane that can't be denied. But if there's one thing Miki has learned about life, it's that it is anything but predictable. And this story reflects that as well. 2.5 stars Re-read Aug 27, 2015 What I liked: - The writing, while not perfect, was very engaging. It seemed like only a couple of minutes has passed when I realized I've read almost half of the book. - The MCs are likable (if you ignore Kane's cheesiness :D) - Dude! Dude was awesome. - Miki's reactions to Kane's family were hilarious What I didn't like: - The sex scenes. They were too long and managed to literally put me to sleep. Twice. - The WTF moments. Among them Kane's mother barging in on them in Miki's apartment - I mean, really? - Do guys really talk to each-other like they swallowed a cheesy romance novel, or does Kane have a hobby we weren't told about? :D All in all, it was kind of interesting, but nothing special.

Série Sinners, tome 1 Il y a un homme mort dans la Pontiac GTO Vintage de Miki St John et ce dernier n'a aucune idée de la manière dont il a pu arriver lÀ. Après avoir survécu au tragique accident qui a tué son meilleur ami et les autres membres de leur groupe Sinner's Gin, tout ce que Miki veut, c'est se cacher du monde dans l'entrepôt rénové qu'il a acheté avant leur dernière tournée. Mais quand l'homme qui l'a agressé sexuellement dans son enfance est tué, et que son corps est retrouvé dans sa voiture, il redoute que la mort n'en ait pas encore fini avec lui. Kane Morgan, un inspecteur de la police départementale de San Francisco qui loue un atelier À la coopérative d'art À côté, suspecte tout d'abord Miki d'être impliqué dans l'assassinat, mais il se rend vite compte que ce dernier est autant une victime que l'homme écorché vif À l'intérieur de la GTO. Alors que le nombre de corps imputable À l'assassin augmente, l'attirance entre Miki et Kane s'enflamme. Aucun d'eux ne sait si une relation entre eux a la moindre chance de réussir, mais en dépit des traumatismes émotionnels de Miki, Kane est déterminé À lui apprendre À aimer et À être aimé... À condition, bien sûr, que Kane puisse attraper le tueur avant que Miki ne devienne sa prochaine victime. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I liked it. Rhys Ford is the Master of Openings and have a magnificent talent for to build characters, she brings them to you in flesh and blood
But again I find the criminal case inconsistent in their internal logic.
* Somebody moderately smart and that he's aware that he can be the next victim, and that he's is living at another house as protection measure, does go to by himself and moreover at "that" place? It's much.
* And can one say with verisimilitude that a cop with very long years of experience is going to let him go alone, and not only that but he's going to give him for to defend oneself little more than a stick? It's too much.
Also there are inconsistencies in the motivations of every death, since even though the main reason is well thought, it's not able to explain the progression of the raid of the killer; in a mystery, although the culprit is a fruitcake, I expect to find an own logic in his actions.
I read this book immediately after Dirty Laundry. And worries me a little to see that the Rhys's mysteries begin to have too many similarities.... and not the good ones. Too many lunatics -greed, revenge, fear, passion are habitual causes of murder also-, and increasing inconsistencies in the plots.
I hope that the author will correct these small issues, and that her editors brush aside the dazzle that I imagine should provoke such a gifted writer, to approach with less pleasing temper Rhys's works, in favour of all of us.
As final note, when contemporary stories is the matter, Rhys is definitely an auto-buy author to me. ( )
