I am so excited for this new series set in the Veiled Intentions world! Soren has been a background character to many books in both the Shielded Hearts and Veiled Intentions series and I am so happy to finally see him get his HEA. Even in their brief meeting three years ago, Dany and Soren have an immediate connection and amazing chemistry but they both are cautious about restarting a possible relationship based on the events of their past. After everything Dany's family has put him through, it was heartbreaking to see him still trying to make amends for the actions of a family he is nothing like. Both Dany and Soren have a shared history of horrible family members but I love how Soren is able to help Dany see that he is nothing like them and that it is not his job to pay for others mistakes. Though Soren has been in several previous books, we have never really learned much about him other than he is a good cop and very private. It was amazing to see Soren open up, not only to Dany but also to friends and co-workers. As always with an Elle Keaton book, the storyline was suspense, full of interesting characters, and extremely well written. I am really looking forward to more books in the West Coast Forensics series and cannot wait to see what is in store for Shay and Ryder! Though not essential to the story, there is a bonus novella about Kim and Win thatbis a fun read as both characters have significant roles in Real Trouble. Elle Keaton is a must read author for me and I can't recommend her books enough! I received an ARC for an honest and fair review.

About the author
Average mystery with average love story
3.5 stars for this M/M romantic suspense.In Real Trouble Danylo Petyr, son of a mob family trying to escape that life starts over in the island of Piedras where his uncle was arrested and he thinks his family cannot catch up with him. Soren Jorgensen also looks for a fresh start on the island as a police officer.Neither thinks they would see each other again, not on a small island, not after Dany ran away almost three years ago.Their unexpected reunion stirs up old feelings in both of them that neither seem to be able to resist.And while they are trying to figure out what's up with them a series of arsons and murder upends the peace of the little island. And Dany is right in the middle of it with Soren on the other side of the law trying to figure out what happened.The story itself was actually quite interesting. It did not steal my breath or anything but the mystery and suspense were decent. The side characters I think were part of another bookish universe and the author built a lot on that while writing this standalone which made it a little confusing. Also, we got to know nothing about Soren and Dany's past which was basically the foundation of thier connection. I didn't feel the romantic spark between them as they always said the time they spent together years ago was the beginning of their love and they just basically picked up now years later where they left off. BUT WE GOT TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEIR PAST TOGETHER. For me it was a serious miss. I know that it's part of the suspense but it would've been nice to actually see how they first met.Despite the lack of sparks and the average mystery I quite enjoyed this story. It was fast paced, the connection between our heros was scorching hot and the investigation part was nice enough!
