Book Blurb

Bryan Monroe has always catalogued his life in terms of moments—right moments, wrong moments, perfect moments. But when his best friend and partner on the police force, Chrys Delos, is shot in a raid gone bad, it’s one of the worst moments of Bryan’s life.

Bryan’s been secretly in love with Chrys for years, and the shooting is a wake-up call that it might be time to tell Chrys the truth. The problem is, Bryan’s never been with a man before, so in addition to worrying about Chrys’ injuries, he’s an indecisive wreck over the future.

But with the help of two unlikely matchmakers, Bryan knows it’s time to find the courage, and the perfect moment, to tell Chrys exactly how he feels...

 

Book Review

The idea of separating your life into types of moments is interesting, and Bryan, one of the main characters in this story, has got that art down to a science. And when too many moments get filed under “awful” or worse, especially ones involving Chrys (his best friend and partner on the force), he knows it is time to take action. Except the idea of owning up to his long-held feelings for Chrys scare him to death and he keeps finding excuses. Watching him come to terms with his love for a man, struggling every inch of the way, was as nerve-wrecking as it was ultimately rewarding. I loved the suspense and the way K-lee Klein handled a tough “to come out or not to come out, that is the question” situation.

Bryan maybe a great cop, but his personal life is a bit of a mess. It looks like he’s got it more or less together after divorcing his wife in an amicable way. But inside Bryan, there is a lot of unrest. Chrys taking a couple of bullets for him is a true wake-up moment, and he finally admits, at least to himself, that he loves Chrys. But him looking for “the perfect” moment to tell Chrys that he has realized he loves him is counterproductive and seems to take forever.

Chrys lets slip that he loves Bryan when he is totally drugged and talking to his father, only hours after the shooting and still in the hospital. He has no idea Bryan is in the room, but his inadvertent admission may be the final nudge Bryan needs to come to terms with the fact he loves a man – and not just any man, but his best friend and partner at work.

If you like stories about previously married bisexual men coming to terms with the fact they are in love with a man, if two cops struggling to find a new normal sound interesting, and if you’re looking for a read that is as emotionally draining as it turns out to become hot and uplifting, then you will probably like this novella.
