The Good Thief
By: James BuchananWorking construction provides Caesar with a great way to cover up his real job; stealing whatever he can get his hands on. Which is why the guy he has a fling with could be really bad for business. Nate is a cop, and Caesar worries that he might be tempting fate if he sees Nate again, even if he wants to.
When Caesar discovers something far worse than some petty thievery on one of his jobs, though, he knows he has to report it to Nate, and the two of them try to find a way to keep Caesar safe until he can testify, even as the sparks fly between them. Can Nate protect Caesar and teach him that there are ways to be a good guy as well as a thief?
The Good Thief is an incredible story that left me in awe. The dynamics of the relationship between Caesar and Nate, the cultural flavor that peppered the story and the suspense of seeing if justice will prevail while all sides seemed to be converging to rip Nate and Caesar apart truly kept the story alive and vibrant for me.
Caesar is a complicated individual with depths and conflicts that would challenge any man. Where he lives, the culture he comes from, his choice of profession and the belief that he is all he could ever be are all facets of his character. I alternated in finding Caesar to be a hero and a anti-hero. The ultimate question is -what will he be by the end of the story?
Nate is a good cop faced with a bad situation. The situation is compounded by the fact of Caesar’s being what he is – a thief; and Nate’s inability to let Caesar go even though he should is causing a serious moral dilemma for him. The saying, “How can something so good be so bad?” is layered with many levels of emotion and threaded throughout this story. It kept me reading, wondering how it would be resolved.
The bad situation is really bad. I mean it’s not only what Caesar found but in whose house it was discovered that really upped the tension to dangerous levels. The suspense is tangible and strong throughout this story and a credit to the storytelling skills of Mr. After making an order for the levitra prices, all of the persons are not eligible for purchasing the medicine.

The background climate was well described along with the details of Caesar’s casing of the neighborhood and how day laborers find work – or not. The writing is rich with visuals and tone so it really hooked me into hoping for the best to happen to Caesar and not the worst which is quite possible and daunting. I mean, Nate may be a great cop, but he’s only human and can’t be there for Caesar 24/7, and when he’s not, poor Caesar.
When Nate and Caesar are together, Mr. Buchanan captures just what makes an erotic romance, erotic. The men turn the sheets to ash with smoking hot scenes that grabbed my emotions; not just my libido.
As with any romantic suspense story, I look for a satisfying HEA and I have to tell you, Mr.Buchanan delivers it with panache. Nate and Caesar are men with a earthy and robust sense of humor and that humor flavored the ending to perfection. The Good Thief had me on a roller coaster of emotion all the way through and like any good ride, the ending left me breathless and happy. I can’t wait to read more by Mr. Buchanan. I like his style.
