Publisher's summary

How can one man be so incredibly frustrating but so sexy at the same time?

Ryder knows two things. Tragedy can strike at any moment so you have to hold tightly to the gifts life gives you. And Shay is one of those gifts. To Ryder their 15-year age difference is nothing, Shay is the man he wants. Now he just needs an opportunity to plead his case with the sexy lawyer.

He gets his chance when Shay asks him to assist on a case involving a missing person, but the investigation quickly turns perilous. A stomach-churning roller-coaster ride of what the hell is going on, puts both men in danger - but from whom?

Will the two get their chance at love, or will a brutal criminal tear the future from their grasp?

Real Danger, second in the West Coast Forensics series, is a dual POV, age-gap, m/m romantic suspense following Shay and Ryder as they fight for their HEA.

Such a great book with a solid storyline and great characters.

I eagerly look forward to reading more from this author.

A definite recommend!

More trouble in our little cove

I love a good who-done-it mystery, especially one with a twist. And trust Ellle Keaton to give me one.

Good story. Good narration.

If you have read most of Elle Keaton's earlier related series ( Shielded Hearts and Veiled Intentions), it isn't hard to see where the story is going. That doesn't mean the story didn't have some interesting twists though. I appreciate the pieces of reality that Keaton brings to light, especially in this book. The problems are all to real.

This was a great addition to the series, and I am anticipating the next one. I won't object to another glimpse into what Adam Klay is up to either....

Amazing!

4.5 Stars

Real Danger is the second book in the West Coast Forensics series, while you could benefit from having read the previous book in the series and the Hamarsson and Dempsey series, it can be read as a standalone.

I absolutely loved Ryder. I felt so bad for him and everything he's gone through since losing his mother, but I was also impressed by how resilient he was, and how strong and patient, as well. I liked Shay, I've been intrigued by him ever since we met him in the previous books. However, I was fed up by how he kept bringing up the age gap between Ryder and him over and over and using it as an excuse to keep Ryder at arm's length. Don't get me wrong, I really liked them together, but because of Shay it took forever and a day to actually see their relationship come to fruition. 

The case was fantastic and unpredictable. The twists and turns were nothing short of brilliant, and out of all the ones we've seen throughout, it was the one that I was more impressed with. I can't recommend this book and this series and the one it spin-offs enough. 

Michael Dean did a great job with the narration, he brought not only the characters, but the story to life for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Great listen!

Story: I was really intrigued with Shay while reading the previous books and I am so happy he got his own book! He and Ryder were both great and I absolutely loved their chemistry. Elle Keaton created complex and relatable characters.
The story itself was really enjoyable and it's a great addition to the series!
Narration: Spot on performance by Michael Dean as usual.

Goodness in mankind

I have not read previous books in the series but I’m able to follow up and enjoy this story so I think this work well as a standalone.

It’s seriously frustrating when a man you are seriously crushing for and head over heels in love with is 20 years older than you. It’s even more devastating when the older man seems to be immune to his foxy charms and keep refusing his advances left and right. Flirty and witty Ryder Mann has finally for his Achilles’ heel Shay Delacombe who is rigid and stubborn. It’s not that Shay doesn’t share the same feelings for Ryder but he has reasons to refuse the romantic attentions of this young man. A budding romance that’s undeniable to blossom, these two men have to overcome a lot and the ugliness of mankind to achieve their HEA.

This is really an interesting novel that shows us some of the uglier sides of the human kind. The abduction of young, ingenious women from the area chilled me to the bones. I loved the perfect blend of action, mystery and thrill as well as steamy romance. The highlight of this novel is definitely the Q&A texts between Ryder and Shay. Loved it!

Real Danger

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Review Copy of this book.

*I have read/listened to some other books by this author so I had some background (primarily from the Veiled Intentions series), but I have not read all of the previous stories. While I highly recommend at the very least the three main books in the Veiled Intentions series (since that introduces both Shay and Ryder), I think it read okay without some of the others.

I liked the little chats between Shay and Ryder at the beginning of each chapter, it was a fun way to get some bonding between them in without bogging down the story. But I will say for the first few chapters I was rather confused by the way it comes across in the audio. I happened to read a review that mentioned them and it made so much more sense.

I could understand Shay's concern over the age-gap with Ryder, 15 years can seem like a lot. But I think Ryder is a mature enough character that the age-gap isn't really an issue once they start figuring things out. Ryder's determination to get past Shay's wall could have come across as too pushy, but it was actually rather adorable in the story. I thought the mystery was good, plenty of twists and turns to keep it from being completely predictable and enough action to keep the story moving. I liked getting to see some secondary characters that I've gotten to know in other books as well.
