Close Quarters is the second book in the Isaiah Ranch series and can easily be read as a standalone. Opposites attract with forced proximity for an HEA.
From the blurb:
And the feeling is mutual.
Yes, yes, I know. I let my temper run away with me again. That's what got me locked up in the first place. I hit Riley, then Elliot and I got into a fight, and now I'm stuck with the idiot 24/7. What kind of hellish punishment is that?
I don't think I hate him, and I'll be the first to admit he's kind of hot, but God, will he ever just shut up!
Forced together and told to work out whatever this thing is between us, it turns out Elliot may be the one person in the world capable of keeping my temper at bay. He gets me. Maybe we could be good for each other. Maybe more?
Turns out we are good together, very good! He brings out a softer side of me no one has seen before, including me. I can't possibly be falling for him, can I?
But violence and death are just around the corner, and if I'd known what hell awaited us thanks to a missing flock of dumb sheep and a gang of drug runners, I might have walked away but now, it's too late.
Lesetiger's review:
Romeo Alexander's writing style is wonderful and I was able to immerse myself in the story of Elliot and Reno very quickly. Both of them are supposed to be serving prison sentences, but they have been given a chance to work the rest of their sentences at Isaiah Ranch as part of a program instead.
Eliott is adorable, but he has ADHD, his mind spins all day and he is very communicative, but also often gets himself into trouble.
Reno is a guy who is always angry and doesn't get on well with people. When he receives the news that his grandmother has died, the smallest thing is enough to get him into big trouble again. As punishment, he is forced to work with Elliot as well as share a cottage.
It's interesting to see the dynamic that develops between the two of them. And the more I learned about Reno's past, the better I understood him.
But just when you think that the path the two of them have chosen is a good one, unexpected dangers lurk elsewhere, which really provide thrills and suspense.
I'm already looking forward to the third volume of Isaiah Ranch.
Michael Dean did a fantastic job as always and brought the audiobook to life. I was able to distinguish the protagonists well. Michael read in an entertaining way and gave the protagonists, in my opinion, suitable voices. It was a pleasure to listen to him.
