Book Blurb

Kissing a fellow police officer might not have been the smartest drunken move Oak Takala has made in recent years. Okay, and it might have complicated the issue that the officer in question is his father’s former partner, Wyatt Peterman. Aaaaaand there’s the fact that Peterman is the newly appointed precinct captain.
 
So what the fuck? Why not go balls to the wall and make a play no one will forget?

Book Review

As with all the ‘Handcuff and Lace’ stories, you pretty much know that there will be tough men, resisting lovers (well, initially), and very hot sex. ‘Brass Balls’ is certainly no exception. Oak and Wyatt face not just one obstacle, but three: there is a considerable age gap, Oak is Wyatt’s best friend and former police partner’s son, and Wyatt has just become Oak’s superior. Add to that the inevitable pride, sense of honor, and plain stubbornness these guys bring to the party – and you have an explosive mix and some nicely building tension that kept me interested until the last page.

Oak is desperate. He has had a crush for Wyatt since he was 16, and now that he is a man of almost thirty, he knows I could be so much more. Not that Wyatt so much as gives an inch. No matter what Oak does when he finally gets up his courage, Wyatt rebuffs him again and again. The only thing that keeps Oak going is hope and a lot of pieces of evidence (in Wyatt’s behavior) that tell him he isn’t totally wrong about Wyatt returning his interest.

Wyatt is an idiot. Okay, so he wants to do the right thing, and, yes, falling in love with your best friend’s son isn’t ideal, but those things can be managed. Wyatt doesn’t have a clue, doesn’t want to admit what he is feeling is more than attraction and it basically takes Oak hitting him over the head (figuratively speaking) for him to wake up. By then, it is too late, and Oak has pretty much given up.

If you’re ready for a read featuring almost irresistible attraction, more denial than is healthy, and a whip-lash of back-and-forth reactions between two men who should both know better, this book will not disappoint you.
