About this listen

New Year's Eve is usually a night of fun and wild celebrations, but for a police officer, it can be the most dangerous night of the year.

Officer Ellis Mason has worked as a beat cop on the streets of Atlanta for more than eight years, and he knows what it takes to survive them. But when Lieutenant Godfrey and his infamous narcotics task force issue a dire warning about a lethal drug that's coming to the city, Mason finds himself fighting a war he's not trained for, with God pushing him beyond his limits.

Mason and his partner are both on high alert, but the moment he stops the tall, handsome drifter who wandered into town, Mason knows he doesn't belong.

Jesse Holstrom is lost and possibly in trouble, but Mason's instincts tell him that it isn't the drug-dealing kind. Every night that Mason patrols by and sees Jesse huddled on a park bench, cold and alone, it pulls at his heart a little more. Mason doesn't know how the young man ended up homeless and lost in his neighborhood, but when Jesse ends up on God's radar, Mason knows he doesn't have long to find out.

Mason promised himself he wouldn't let a good thing slip through his fingers again...not this year.

Contains mature themes.

Jesse Halstrom is pinning his hopes for a place to stay on a flaky childhood friend but when he arrives in Atlanta, he’s basically homeless and only one mugging away from being destitute. Atlanta PD best cop Ellis Mason may have zero tech skills, but he reads people well and he can tell Jesse isn’t one of the burgeoning drug-addicted people wandering the dangerous streets. He sees something else in Jesse but would it be unprofessional to act on his feelings and offer Jesse a place to stay?

With cameos from all the Nothing Special guys, this is a short read (121 pp, 4 hrs on audio), but AE Via has captured the feel of the scary, mean streets well in this knight-in-shining-armour romance! There’s an age gap of about 10 yrs with Jesse in his early 20s and Ellis in his 30s. I’m usually frustrated with short books because things feel rushed but this is pretty satisfying. There’s very clear instalove happening here to speed up the romance but somehow it works ok. 🎧 The deep-voiced Aiden Snow softens his tone a bit here as neither Jesse nor Ellis is an alpha-male and that works well too!

The danger was good but instalove felt rushed!

This started off so brilliantly I couldn't stop listening. Then it just fizzled out, turned into a porno story and went nowhere.

Very disappointing
