When Frank McGuire’s partner and friend
Quinn Brennan was killed in the line of duty, Frank left the
force and became a private investigator. Even though he
hasn’t seen Quinn’s wife and kids in five years, he drops
everything to help when Emily calls desperate for his help
finding her son Rand. Frank remembers Rand. Especially that
Rand is eight years younger than him, the son of his friend,
and off limits regardless of his attraction to Rand. Frank
agrees to track Rand down and when he does, he discovers
that Rand may be in trouble, the kind of trouble that could
get him killed. A serial killer that has been preying on
women in the area is somehow connected to Rand. It might be
up to Frank’s good detective skills and his clairvoyant
abilities to save the man he wants.
Crossroads starts off with Frank’s interesting
ability and the painful loss of his partner and friend. The
story picks up some heat when Frank approaches an
unsuspecting and scared Rand in a rather intense encounter
where Rand is forcibly seduced into giving Frank
information. Had this been role playing and both parties
involved knew the score, it would be very, very hot, but
because of the circumstances it comes off as a bit too
realistic and disrespectful towards Rand. The fact that Rand
enjoys it makes it sexy, but I still think the scene is over
the top due to the circumstances. There are a few more
graphic dubious consent scenes that are hot. Crossroads
is more erotica rather than erotic romance. The romance is
unconventional considering how things play out between Frank
and Rand. With its intense eroticism and a pretty good
storyline, Crossroads is an intriguing read. |
