    About this ebook

    A Flesh novel

    Reno Detective Cristian Flesh is an out and unashamed cop, but his slutty ways might be his downfall. Cristian lives by a strict set of personal rules, preferring hook-ups and anonymous encounters to committed relationships. His guidelines work for him... until one of his tricks is murdered and he becomes the prime suspect.

    Leave it to handsome lawyer Colby Maddox to save Cristian’s life. He takes the case and the attraction between them is quick and undeniable. After several passion-filled encounters with Colby, Cristian unexpectedly wants to break all his rules. However, before they can contemplate a future together, they’ll have to clear Cristian’s name and find the real murderer.

      4.5 Stars An intense, thrilling read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend.
    • 4/5
      ElaineY did such a great review, most has been said already there. I definitely agree about the TSTL moments, but I take on board Ethan's excuse. Maybe the heart did rule the head.
      Like others I also enjoyed his "voice" and the balance of suspense to romance.
      There were a few issues he dealt with throughout the story which lifted this above the run-of-the mill romance. Coming out, hypocrisy of some religious characters, reactions by peers. As one who has never witnessed it, his depiction of the casual hook-ups and behind closed doors in clubs scenes all rang true to me and added that layer of reality to his story.
      I thought he did a good job with the side characters, Gabe, Violet, Annabeth, Hillary, Lex, and Kenny all seemed real and didn't overpower Colby and Cristian, but made it feel like his main characters were a part of the real world.
      The start was good. Rules did govern Cristian's life.
      The writing flowed very well craft wise. A good balance of backstory, description, inner thought, action and dialogue.
      The inner thoughts matched the dialogue. (One of my pet peeves when it doesn't).
      I'll definitely be looking out for other books by Ethan when when they come out.
    • 5/5
      A terrific mystery story with an intriguing protagonist. It's fast paced too, which makes for a good read.
    • 3/5
      Strong start but weaker ending. I liked the cold hard boiled style of Flesh and his many rules. I loved how fearlessly out he was, though being a detective with his background (not the bing out but the disjointed and difficult childhood) at age 25 was pushing it a bit. However, it started to bog down as he got closer to his lawyer. It's like the book lost it's edge, the author could do cold and unfeeling but got less energized when it came to love. If the end had been as strong as the start it would be a definite 5 star, but as is, it's a good enough 3 stars...
