Too Good To Be True and a sexy insta-love story with a bit of bodyguard action thrown in. Tim has had a difficult time with his coming out and he’s trying to get his life back on track. Elliot is in financial trouble and selling an ancient object will help him avoid bankruptcy. Tim is hired to protect Elliot until the sale is completed over in Scotland.

I loved how compassionate and Tim is. When he learns of Elliot’s troubles, he wants to do everything he can to help. Elliot made a bad mistake with his previous boyfriend so he’s cautious about entering into something with Tim even though their connection is instant and really sizzles.

Tim and Elliot get up to some really hot and sexy stuff; they are a good match for each other. They get a surprise from Destiny Ink after they and the artifact are on the way to Scotland. I really enjoyed the epilogue that was set one year later. I love learning how the MCs are doing later on down the road.

Mini rant from this reviewer that did not affect my rating: the blurb on Amazon makes no mention that this story was published previously. This is a pet peeve of mine and I think authors do their readers a disservice when they don’t disclose this information.

“Roz is gonna kill me!”

Nico Thanos looked up from his tea as a wild-eyed blue-haired woman burst into his office. Since he was in the human realm, only one of the three sister Fates could disturb him here. Unfortunately she caused the most trouble.

“You are immortal, sweets. Now what happened, Phoebe, tell me from the beginning.”

She threw herself dramatically onto his office couch, melting with defeat. “I lost it. I frikking lost it.”

“What did you lose?” Calmness always got Phoebe out of her own head.

“The dirk.”

“The what?”

“An ancient knife about,” she held her hands out in front of her to illustrate about a foot, “yay long. Big fat ruby, carvings. Magic. It belongs to the McCallum clan, and if it isn’t inside the old castle at Destiny Dalmahoy Resort when Ian and Bryn tie the knot, then Black Donald’s curse won’t be broken. They’ll get married but it will still end tragically. But I can’t find it!”

“Zeus’s beard! Black Donald?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Why was a dirk cursed by that asshole removed from the castle in the first place?”

Nico had been running the human side of Destiny Resorts for decades. Being half-fae half-human like Phoebe enabled him to effortlessly go back and forth between realms. With his business acumen, the sister Fates hired him to manage all their luxury resorts so they could concentrate on matching souls via their magical dating service Destiny Ink. If his staff had discovered an artifact such as this during remodeling of the Scottish property, Nico would have known.

Phoebe chewed her lower lip and looked everywhere but at him. “Um, I kinda borrowed it like a couple decades ago…”

“Oh, Phoebe, you didn’t .”

“I did.”

“No.”

“I did.”

“But why?”

“There was this knife throwing competition at the Highland Games that summer—”

“Dear Zeus help me,” Nico muttered. “And you didn’t know it was magical?”

“Um, sorta?” she admitted. More of the eye contact evading and lip gnawing. “I thought it would give me a leg up in the competition. But then afterward, there was a beer tent…”

“Of course there was.” He tried not to get too annoyed at the impulsive woman. She was easily distracted by anything shiny or fun.
