Diesel finally met someone that could leave him speechless. Zero doesn't give up. These two together brings every emotion to the story.
From the The Chemist blurb:
Trust. It is the basis on which we build our relationships. When we trust someone, we allow that person control over our lives and our emotions. But if that trust is lost, it can lead us down a dark and lonely path.
Diesel
25, Stripper, emotionally damaged and just about as selfish as one can be.
Never trust anyone. I learned that lesson the hard way. After suffering the ultimate betrayal, I came to realize that life is nothing but a dark and lonely place. Am I guarded? Yes. Do I care only about myself? Also, yes. So why is it a surprise when I sneak out of the house to find myself a random hookup? Do I wish I hadn’t? Of course. But not because I feel guilty for what I did or for the fact that I treated the guy like dirt. I regret my decision because now I have to see my hookup's smug face every day! It’s like I’m being punished for having a one-night stand and running off before the other guy even had a chance to… well, you know how it goes.
Zero
30, Private investigator… devilishly handsome and a hunter of evil men.
Bad decisions. We all make them. We spend countless hours hating ourselves and wondering how we could have made such a horrible mistake. And I’m no exception. My bad decision is sitting right across from me, eating breakfast. He’s got that egotistical and sly look on his face. Seriously, I’ve never met a more selfish person in my entire life. So, when I’m forced to work with him, I realize that perhaps it’s time that someone taught this selfish bloke a lesson.
Content Warning: Violence, alcohol and substance abuse, foul language, and loads of steamy scenes.
Reed Kaye's review:
Both live with situations from their past that carries forward into their present yet.
Diesel is a hard character to like. Even though he has friends or “family” that care about him, he still likes to keep walled up. Then his life takes an unexpected turn and Zero throws a few unexpected interactions at him.
Zero has a huge heart. He has not had an easy life but appears to roll with the punches. When he interfaces with Diesel nothing goes as expected. Diesel can’t hide from Zero and Zero won’t give up on Diesel.
I love the interaction between these characters. I enjoyed how protective they became of each other. I was happy to have previous characters involved in the story.
I can’t wait for what is next from this author.
