Review by: CactusActor Sean Fairchild has a not-so-secret admirer: a psycho stalker who thinks taking out the sexy, shy young actor will leave the world a better place. His manager insists Sean needs protection, and Sean’s beginning to think he’s right.
It’s a Hollywood cliché: the hot and handsome bodyguard. But in the case of LAPD Detective Daniel Moran, it’s all true. Dan is everything Sean ever wanted in a leading man, but Dan’s kind of an old-fashioned guy. It’s his job to keep Sean safe and in one piece — happy is someone else’s problem.
As tension mounts, Sean can’t help turning to Dan, while Dan is finding it harder and harder to say no. Their only chance of a happy ending is if Dan can keep Sean alive — but what happens when he uncovers the secrets Sean is trying hard to conceal?

Which do you prefer, the white knight or the dark knight? In the previous book, Lt. Dan Moran and Sean Fairchild are already in a relationship — having met after Sean was stalked by a crazed fan six months prior. Then, the developing relationship was tested when Sean’s manager decided to continue stalking Sean to make him more malleable. Let’s hope not all managers stoop to that level with their actor clients but it’s Hollywood right? Anyway, the second stalking incident showed the flaws in Sean that he had worked hard to keep hidden and while they ultimately worked things out, Dan and Sean were left with problems still existing in their relationship.
Now Sean and Dan must once again confront the issues between them. Sean’s run off to shoot a movie in Wales and gets into trouble again. When he can’t remember what happened, he immediately asks for Dan but Dan arrives with some bad news – Sean already left Dan. Shocked and upset Sean thinks back to how they met and relives their past in an attempt to remember what his mind is blocking. Doing so forces him to confront the issues within himself and their relationship as well as the destructive comments and actions between them.

This is a beautifully written character driven piece that gives more background into how Dan and Sean met, fell in love and why their relationship suffered once Sean ran off without considering Dan. Sean’s a deeply flawed hero with a real terror of past history with mental instability and often questions his own understanding and perception of events. While intimacy and close friendships are hard for the shy actor, Sean fears he leans too much on Dan’s strong support and yet without it Sean is set adrift. Sean’s fears and insecurities play into the problems in their relationship as his quick reactions and biting comments are designed to simultaneously hurt and hide his own problems. However, Sean deeply loves Dan and truly wants to be with him, which makes him confront his actions with an almost painful honesty.
Dan is another fabulous three-dimensional character that shows his sensitivity in helping Sean cope with his past while not backing down from his own beliefs and perceptions. Dan has additional worries and fears beyond Sean’s problems, which include the basic differences in jobs, age, likes and dislikes and while Dan truly loves Sean he has to protect himself too. Dan struggles with this back and forth of loving and protecting his younger lover while not wanting to expose himself to a world of hurt. It takes a lot of strength on both sides to confront the true reasons behind their argument and separation and find a way to be together.
In true Lanyon style, this is an engrossing and absorbing story that you’ll be unable to put down. From the subtle humor laced throughout to moving characters, the quick paced read will have you aching for both Sean and Dan and wondering who may be after Sean this time. Even with the satisfying happy ending, these two have a long road ahead but no doubt it’ll be a really great ride. Although a sequel this can be read alone but it’s more meaningful if you’ve read the previous book first. You’ll be rooting for Sean and Dan just as much as I was.
