J.T's Bar Series
Blurb
In desperation, Greg goes on the run to Wyoming to find his brother, Mitch, whom he hasn’t seen in over a decade. As he reconnects with his brother, Riordan appears, searching for his missing witness. But Greg needs the answers to a lot of questions before he’ll trust Riordan again. Why didn’t he return Greg’s call? Is Riordan there to help Greg – or kill him?
4 Stars!
Greg has been in witness protection for 14 years and while it's not an ideal situation, he'd made the most of it, especially during the last three years in which he'd been able to enjoy certain stability. However, that all changes one night when he's walking toward his apartment only to find it in flames and when he returns to his workplace, a bomb explodes, killing his boss. When he tries to contact his handler, he gets no answer and when he contacts the local Marshal's office, he's cut by the person who responds. Not knowing who he can trust, he hitchhikes to Wyoming where his brother Mitch is living now. Mitch is happy to know Greg is alive, but saddened and angry when he learns of all Greg has had to go through since their father threw him away for being gay. As they reconnect, Greg's handler, Colm Riordan, reappears on the scene, but Greg is unsure if he can trust Riordan, no matter how drawn he is to the man.
I loved Greg and felt so bad for all he went through. His near-death experience on the heels of being thrown out of his house, having to go into witness protection and practically living with a target on his back for so many years. His reunion with Mitch was heartbreaking, but I was so glad both Mitch and Jake had his back. I wasn't too sure about Riordan at first. His actions were a bit shady, but it all was explained in a satisfying manner and I warmed up to him. While I'm not certain how ethical it is for a US Marshal to seduce a witness under his care, it was undeniable there was a lot of chemistry between them and once they finally gave in to it, they were really hot together.
I loved Mitch and Jake and all the guys from Mitch's team, they were awesome and funny.
All in all, this was a great read, very fast-paced and action-packed. If I could've asked for something more, it'd be to have had a bit more of Riordan and Greg's backstory to see how it all began, because it felt a bit too forced at first. Other than that, this was a very good addition to the series. Very recommendable!
