DINNER AND DIATRIBES

Stay Grounded - Book Two

Review

One of the great things about a couple having more than one book is the ability to witness the ups and downs of the relationship. The work that is required to fight for a relationship. It’s in every moment. Figuring out how to always choose each other even through the chaos of real life. Especially when they also have to contend with personal demons and fears.

We get that with Trevor and Alex. They are real and messy. And when Trevor’s job and a case blur the lines at home, they are both forced to come to terms with some of the hurt and pain of their pasts. Otherwise, it runs the risk of tearing them apart, and they’ve only just gotten started.

“How long am I going to feel like a stranger in my own happiness?”

I love a book that doesn’t make problems magically disappear with love, but rather shows us that love can give us the strength to endure and keep going.

Synopsis

Trevor:

Meeting Alex O’Reilly has changed everything for me. In the past four months, I’ve found more balance in work, life, and happiness than I thought was possible for me the night we met. My life is far from perfect, but I’m starting to recover from my past expectations, and form new, and exciting ones.

But when a dinner with Alex’s family turns into a crime scene, that newfound balance is thrown in a blender.

With the city being overrun by a swell of crime, the case falls to my partner Julie Rowen and I, and brings the weight of the world with it. Gone are the lines of Trevor the detective, and Trevor the man. I’m not only under the microscope of my Lieutenant, but I can’t help but feel the warranted expectations of the man I love.

As time passes by, it’s clear that this criminal won’t stop at one attempt to get to Alex’s family. If we’re going to keep everyone alive and well, Jules and I need to be at our sharpest, and solve this case before it escalates.

Can I hold it together long enough to survive this case with the safety of Alex’s family intact, and still hold my badge? And when both of our world’s are turned upside down, will I be able to keep my relationship with Alex in the process?
