There were some inconsistencies or things that weren't fully explained that confused me. At the beginning, it seemed like Gavin and his siblings didn't like Lily, so I was thinking she was an evil step mother who's so much younger than their father and maybe had cheated with their father before their mother died, or was only with him for his money, but she ended up being one of the few characters I actually liked in this book. She seemed to be the only one who actually cared about Gavin. And while I get that Gavin's family had money, and his father was more concerned about image than his family, I never actually got that Gavin was always ignored. It seemed like all of the children were ignored, and somehow Gavin turned out to be somewhere normal compared to Honey, who is an obnoxious hipster, know-it-all brat, and Taisy who's in a marriage for the money and image, not caring that her husband is gay. I didn't hear enough from Chip to get a read on him, but he didn't annoy me like the sisters. On to the MCs. I was really excited at the beginning thinking this was going to be the alpha cop who doesn't need anyone or want a relationship until he meets the spoiled, stuck up rich kid, but that wasn't what this story was. At first Jamie was annoying with his running off at the party and Gavin chasing after like a puppy, then kicking Tommy out to have Gavin alone, but he still wasn't interested in Gavin other than a purely sexual relationship. If that's all he wanted, then why kick Tommy out? I felt badly for Gavin because I thought he really liked Jamie and kept getting the brush off, but he kept on trying. If someone I was interested in kept being rude/mean to me, I'd stop trying, but Gavin kept coming back for more. I did notice a change in Jamie throughout the book. He came around, started opening up to Gavin and seemed to actually want to give their relationship a shot, but Gavin seemed to regress and stop trying. Everything was about Jamie being happy with him, but the second Jamie would say something, Gavin would take it the wrong way and get pissy and start a fight. There's no way Gavin was 33 as the book said he was. He was very immature, and I didn't like him at all. Even at the end, he was still starting drama instead of talking to Jamie. Every time Jamie would ask Gavin a question or try to fix whatever was wrong, Gavin would start getting pissy about something that had nothing to do with what Jamie was asking/talking about. It was really annoying, and I honestly think these two would have been better off just walking away from each other. And that last disappearance with Beach where Gavin expected Jamie to risk his job by helping him and Beach instead of calling 911, that just made Gavin seem even more immature and bratty. Who at the age of 33 does ridiculous crap like that even for a friend and expects their SO to risk their job to help them? Oh a spoiled, rich brat who is bored with his life. Too bad that fall off the bridge didn't knock some sense into Gavin! I'm sadly disappointed with this one. There were some inconsistencies or things that weren't fully explained that confused me.

She is one of my absolute favorite M/M romance authors. I was crazy excited for [b:Bad Attitude|16006196|Bad Attitude (Bad in Baltimore, #3)|K.A. Mitchell|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1354864394s/16006196.jpg|21771039], the third in her Bad in Baltimore series. This book tells the story of gruff, hardened cop, Jamie and rich boy with a huge trust fund and not much else, Gavin. Two not very likable characters I'm afraid. These two boys find that they connect very well sexually and start a volatile personal relationship based on very good sex. The jabs they throw at each other when they are not in the throes of passion are incredibly hurtful (and at times hard to read), but these two keep coming back for more. They are apparently so damaged that their outer shells can take any beating in exchange for a few hours of blissful sexual escapism. While the sex was extra hot, there was nothing romantic about it. But these two boys do eventually fall in love. I'm actually quite surprised they did because I honestly didn't see many redeeming qualities in either one. And I felt that Ms. Mitchell left us hanging on quite a few issues: So, after mulling this over all evening, I came to the conclusion that while I like this newest addition to [a:K.A. Mitchell|2746690|K.A. Mitchell|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1303073249p2/2746690.jpg]'s library, I did not love it, which is unusual for me. It comes down to the characters. I wasn't able to get under their shells enough to care enough to love them. But, dude, this is [a:K.A. Mitchell|2746690|K.A. Mitchell|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1303073249p2/2746690.jpg]! Of course I'm going to recommend this book! Just don't expect hearts and flowers and butterflies and rainbows. You're not gonna get it here. Appartiene alle SerieBad in Baltimore (book 3)
Saving lives never used to be this complicated. Gavin Montgomery does what's expected of him by his wealthy and powerful family--look good in a tuxedo and don't make waves. When a friend takes a leap off a bridge, Gavin tries to save him, only to fall in with him. At least at the bottom of the river he won't feel like such a disappointment to his family. But he's pulled from the water by a man with an iron grip, a sexy mouth, and a chip on his shoulder the size of the national deficit. Jamie Donnigan likes his life the way it is--though he could have done without losing his father and giving up smoking. But at least he's managed to avoid his own ball and chain as he's watched all his friends pair off. When Montgomery fame turns a simple rescue into a media circus, Jamie decides if he's being punished for his good deed, he might as well treat himself to a hot and sweaty good time. It's not like the elegant and charming Gavin is going to lure Jamie away from his bachelor lifestyle. Nobody's that charming. Not even a Montgomery....

I'm not quite able to give it 5 stars, even though I did love it, because in the end, there were some issues I would have liked to have seen resolved and I feel they are still hanging in the wind slightly. And to be honest, the ending felt rather abrupt and cut off.
But even so,, this is a fantastic read! ( )
