I didn't think at first that I was going to like the book as well as the first one in the series. Then Ray, Elvin and Ming are sent to take account of a paper company Jade Harbor owns and things begin to pick up. I didn't especially like Ming. He was conniving and underhanded always hitting on Elvin when he knew how Elvin felt about Ray. Maybe because the author and the characters are from a different culture than myself, but it was difficult for me to understand Elvin feeling that he "owed" his family the amount of concern and time, running to meet their every demand to satisfy their every whim. Also, another difference that I didn't quite get. Canadian laws are probably different that those of the U.S., but I didn't see that Ray had done anything wrong with his decision of how to protect his employer. At least not to the degree that was levied. The punishment didn't fit the crime...even if there even was a crime to begin with. I really liked, and had high hopes for Ray and Elvin's budding relationship. Elvin was perfect for Ray. He understood where Ray was coming from all the time, and his desire to put Ray first in his life made him a wonderfully sweet man. It's an intriguing M/M romantic suspense novel. The plot is full of unexpected twists and turns. More than enough to keep you reading. ( )
