[Morning My Angel] - Sue Brown
Angel Securities Series, Book #1
5★
In London to find the missing partner of his security firm, Josh Cooper constantly clashes with his new UK partner, charismatic, but arrogant Cal Ross. It should have been a simple case of finding the man. But Josh is dealing with conflicting agendas, both with the assignment and his love life. There’s no doubt of the physical attraction between him and Cal, but Josh is also involved with the mysterious Charlie, his long-term cyber-relationship. Who will he choose?
Josh’s heart is tied up with Charlie, his head is with Cal, and his missing persons case has taken a sinister turn. Now there’s a new target. Him. Will Cal rescue him before he becomes fish bait?

Josh Cooper is a tad obnoxious in his behavior and obviously his boss thought so also since Josh soon found himself and his team on a plane headed to the London office for an "undisclosed" period of time...to help in the search for a person that disappeared 3 weeks ago. It was pretty clear to everyone but Josh, that he should probably start learning to appreciate tea more than coffee. This is not their usual job so Josh doesn't understand why he and his team are working on this case, not to mention they're suppose to actually work with the London team who they soon found were not as forth coming about too many of any of the details. To make things worse, he is VERY attracted to Cal, one of the operatives they work with. He is conflicted about Cal because he truly cares for Charlie even though Charlie is a guy he hasn't met yet...in person that is. You can see where this is going even if you have never read an M/M romance book. Cal has many secrets, and though they slowly unravel there is still quite a surprise at the end. I really didn't see that one coming. It was great meeting Josh and watching him try to make sense of his complicated life. The twin bodyguards, the London team and all those little characters we've met along the way made this story feel genuine and also made it engaging and enjoyable. Josh's banter with everyone was fun... and oh yeah...he really, really missed his coffee. ( )

What we think we see and think we know is sometimes just that--what we think. And when Josh Cooper realizes there are things going on around him that are unsettling and he can't seem to uncover the truth, he learns this firsthand. But as he starts to second-guess key aspects of his world, he can still rely on his online relationship with Charlie, right? That's at least something real, isn't it? Or is there even more to that story as well? Sue Brown's writing kept me along for the journey, from one page to the next, even though some aspects of the mystery weren't exactly too surprising upon their reveal. ( )

Josh is a horny dude, his inner monologue consists of imagining every man he meets bending him, or tying him down..filthy mind. He reminds me of Mack from [b:Stay with Me|21840816|Stay with Me (The PI Guys, #1)|S.E. Harmon|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1396489899s/21840816.jpg|41108310]
Fun read, espionage, Brits, loads of coffee, safe house, and betrayals.

I loved the book. This doesn't happen much, I usually just like. I guess I like asshole MCs. Secondary characters were likable too. The book didn't revolve just around the MC. And of course it because sex scenes were limited even if Josh is a horn dog.

Brits, slutty air hostesses, betrayal, car chases, safe houses, good coffee, and Charlie and his sole angel ( )
