A second chance with mystery story. Did you read Rayne Check? Then you definitely want to see Everett and Rayne meet up and get their HEA.
From the Rayne’s Return blurb:
After my infamous half-a-night stand with the mysterious Rayne, I moved on with my life. Success as a lawyer demands long hours and giving a hundred and ten percent to the job. I do carve out enough time to hang out with friends some weekends, but it's depressing to watch them pairing up while I'm relentlessly single. Then one morning, the man I can't forget shows up bruised and bedraggled at my office door. Rayne has a whopper of a story to go with the bruises, and seeing him again strikes wild sparks I can't deny, but can I trust a man who ditched me without a word? Or will he be gone again by morning light?
Rayne
As a private investigator, I've done some dubious jobs for some very questionable people. The assignment that brought me into Everett's world was one of the worst. Now, someone's trying to kill me and until I figure out who and why, I need a safe place to hide. All I could think of was Everett. The hot, by-the-book lawyer I hooked up with once doesn't owe me a thing, but he's the only person I trust. I'll do my damnedest to keep danger from reaching him, and hope like hell I can walk away in the end with my heart intact.
Rayne’s Return is a gay romantic suspense novel with an uptight by-the-book lawyer and a PI who never manages to stay out of trouble. The age-gap opposites attract novel is the fourth in the Love in Mission series.
Lesetiger's review:
Before you read or listen to this book, I highly recommend reading Rayne Check. In it, Everett and Rayne meet at a party and have a steamy encounter.
Two months after the events in Rayne Check, Rayne suddenly shows up injured on Everett's doorstep, who of course offers to help him.
I liked Everett right from the start. He loves his job, is a workhorse and stands up for justice. I had my difficulties with Rayne at first and it took me a while to become comfortable with him. This may be because you don't find out very much about his background.
There were various storylines and there is a case to solve. I thought the suspense part was good, although it only really picks up towards the end of the book. In between, it's mainly about the developing relationship between Everett and Rayne. The connection between the two is definitely there, but Rayne has doubts because of his past. Do they have a chance?
What I loved was the rescued dog that Rayne takes care of - the dog was my secret hero and there were some cute scenes with him.
Michael Dean did a great job as narrator, he has a pleasant voice and a good pace of speech. However, for once it wasn't always immediately obvious which of the two protagonists was speaking.
Rayne’s Return is currently available as an audiobook, e-book and paperback, and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
