What can you do when love takes you by surprise? Just breathe.

Cole Rinne is a model with an impossible problem. An invasion of his privacy ends up in the hands of a blackmailer, and the details could go public any day. His only hope is to ditch the spotlight and hide in the shadows. Then he meets someone with a solution.

Gage Marx is a PI who specializes in impossible problems. He's used to solving the unsolvable. The only thing he's ever declared a lost cause is himself.

From the start, Cole's case holds more surprises than Gage expects. The most shocking is that for the first time in over two years, Gage’s broken heart is showing signs of life.

Their plan to wade slowly into love comes apart when an unexpected opportunity threatens to turn it all into a long-distance relationship. Will occasional reunions be enough to keep them together, or will their separate careers tear them apart?

4.0 out of 5 stars Coping
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023
Gage Marx has a small Private Investigator business. He uses work to deal with his grief, guilt and PTSD. Cole Rinne is a model who is missing and his sister Jessie Rinne is his newest client. Gage finds Cole pretty fast and advises him to call his family. Cole has a big problem and goes to see Gage after talking to his family and becomes his client. They work together to get to solve the problem of his blackmailer. This book involves suicide of a partner, grief, guilt and working to live again without depression. It’s about finding love and life again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gage and Cole
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023
Gage and Cole were two characters it was easy to get invested in and follow them on their journey to love. The message about grief not having a timetable and everyone needs to go through at their own pace was a thread that resonated with me. Losing someone you love is a very personal experience, and each one of us deals with it in our own way and timetable. Gage’s thoughts at many times mirrored my own, and my journey has taken 4 years.

It was surprising to me that both main characters were in their 20s — Gage seemed so much older to me, but dealing with a partner’s health issues over a number of years, then losing them, can age a person. I also felt that Cole was younger, but based on clues, both must have been close in age, late 20s.

Gage’s coping mechanism of living for work seemed very realistic, as did Cole’s willingness to give up many things in order to chase his dream of being a top class model.

I enjoyed this book, was able to identify with the characters, and was totally involved until the end. I will watch for more from this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good enough to finish
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2023

It's super hard to read books in the genre I work on as a professional editor. The overall plot was decent enough to keep going, but the pacing of everything seemed either dragged out or rushed. I was never really sure what I was supposed to be worrying about, Cole's sextortion case or his struggles as a model. I understood the basics of Gate's internal conflicts, but his external goals never seemed apparent aside from being a workaholic. The POV switches within chapters didn't help. Like I said, good enough to finish, but I'm glad it was available through KU.

4.0 out of 5 stars A really slow burn and not a lot of spice, but a good read none the less!
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2023
Gage & Cole's story was a really good one and so relevant to today's world and issues. It was nice to see the characters actually communicate and work through issues without a breakup from miscommunication!

A really slow burn and not a lot of spice, but a good read none the less!

3.0 out of 5 stars Slow burn
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2023
Cole’s a model. A weekend indiscretion, videoed without his knowledge, has him seeking Gage’s private eye skills to help him out of the mess. Gage lost his soulmate two years before and he really wasn’t ready to have Cole crash into his life.

This was a slow burn but it was also slow at times. Both characters had their issues with things that happened in the past. One of those issues brought them together and one kept them apart. I don’t know if the author deliberately made Cole’s sister unlikeable or if it was to add drama. And there was an abundance of drama.

I thought the book was well written and I like what I’ve read by the author.

This story deals with suicide and PTSD so it’s really not a feel good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A slow burn book with lots of angst
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2023
Cole is a model and social influencer being blackmailed so he disappears. His sister hires Gage, a P.I. to find him. This book was very disturbing with the reality of blackmail over privacy issues in the real world and the different realities of dealing with grief. It was a slow but realistic process for both guys and I enjoyed them finding each other and being patient. It did make the book a slow burn with lots of angst. I received a copy of this book through BookSirens and this is my voluntary opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good story
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2023
Gage and Cole both broke my heart for different reasons. It truly is scary to know what Cole went through really does happen. I honestly learned a lot about the cyber world. This story touched on real life issues. These issues were told very well.

I am so impressed how Cole handled Gage's situation. Cole did not get mad and they didn't fight. Cole helped Gage work through his issues.

This was a good story, in the end, i was happy they got their HEA.

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost palpable grief
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2023
Good story. It’s a little flat, but I think that part of it comes from the grief that Gage still feels. He’s poured himself into his work so deeply that he almost doesn’t exist outside of it. But, he was there when Cole needed him.
The conflict between Cole and his sister seemed a bit misplaced, but that’s how families are sometimes. It’s sad when it happens.
Gage’s struggle really shows, and it saddening. I’m glad he found new life with Cole.
