Tied together through mutual friends, the two couples in these books struggle to find their happy endings. Garrett Leigh’s Heated Beat series includes the novels My Mate Jack and Lucky Man. Thrilling Mystery, Dan Calley is Amazing!
It’s one of my favorite parts of audiobooks. You’re IN the moment with the characters. He really nails the emotions of the characters, so you feel what they are feeling. Dan Calley continues to amaze me with his narrating skills. This story was well written, thought-provoking, and reminds us there are some unpleasantries in life, but it doesn’t mean that love can’t be found in them. I felt bad for Finn, because his battles with paranoia, and fear, are never-ending. Watching these men struggle with finding a balance, and a proper understanding of each other, is heartbreaking at times. He’s got a lot on his plate and it’s taking a toll. He’s a cop, and someone is killing prostitutes under his nose. On top of that, Danny is under pressure on the job. When Finn tells Danny, he doesn’t immediately run away, but he has his concerns. After meeting Danny, one night at the end of a gig, they hook up, and proceed to spend more time with each other. Finn is a talented musician, who just happens to have a mental illness bad enough that it gives a lot of people pause.
People are fascinating creatures, and Finn and Danny are no exclusion. Yet, I found myself captivated by their story, despite not having one case of the goofy grins I normally like to have with books I am reading. There isn’t anything perfect about Finn and Danny. Garrett Leigh is brilliant at creating a story around flawed characters. 4.5 Stars - Heartfelt story w/great characters
