Synopsis

For homicide detective Mac, it’s been a good year. Having Tony to go home to makes him a better cop and a better person. For Tony, it’s been hard being in love with a man he can’t touch in public. Evasions and outright lying to friends and family take a little of the shine off his relationship with Mac, but Tony is determined to make it work.

As the Minneapolis Police Department moves into a hot, humid summer, Mac is faced with a different challenge. A killer has murdered two blond women, and the police have no real clues. Mac hates to think that another murder may be the only way they’ll make progress with the case. But when that murder happens, it hits close to home for Tony. And suddenly Mac faces an ultimatum: come out into the sunlight and stand beside Tony as his lover, or walk away and live without a piece of his heart.

It is best read after book 1.
The book does not end on a cliffhanger. It has a solid HFN ending, not yet a HEA. Audiobooks 3 and 4 scheduled for later this summer.

Fantastic Story and Audiobook!

After listening to book one in this series, Life Lessons, back in January I was very happy to learn that the remaining novels in this series were also being produced in audio. Breaking Cover is every bit as gripping as Life Lessons and I was fully invested in the story right from the beginning.

There is so much I’d like to say about this book but I’m afraid it would be too spoiler-y. I’m just going to say that Mac and Tony are pretty much put through a wringer in this one. Their relationship hits some rather big bumps and Mac’s professional life takes some hits. When push comes to shove, Mac surprises himself, and Tony, and does the honorable thing and I was so proud of him.

If you like stories with suspense, family, and relationships I can’t recommend this one highly enough. As with book one, JF Harding did a fantastic job performing the audiobook. His different voices for each character make listening to this story a joy. I can’t wait to listen to the remaining books in this series!

About Author

Kaje Harper

I get asked about my name a lot. It’s not something exotic, though. “Kaje” is pronounced just like “cage” – it’s an old nickname, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I’ve been writing far longer than I care to admit (*whispers – forty-five years*), although mostly for my own entertainment. I write M/M romance, often with added mystery, fantasy, historical, SciFi, paranormal… I also have Young Adult short stories (some released under the pen name Kira Harp.)

After decades of writing just for fun, my husband convinced me I really should submit something, somewhere. My first professionally published book, Life Lessons, came out in May 2011. I now have a good-sized backlist in ebooks and print, both free and professionally published, including Amazon bestseller The Rebuilding Year and Rainbow Award Best Mystery-Thriller Tracefinder: Contact. A complete list with links can be found on my website “Books” page at https://kajeharper.com/books/.
