katikatMaxwell Fielding is a police detective. Gruff, stubborn, and a little blind to subtlety, Max is the perfect poster boy for stereotypical masculinity. Used to dealing with the dregs of society, he never backs down from a fight, but his attitude is a reckless one.
Max’s lover, Skyler Trent, is a dress designer who happens to be a cross-dresser and the polar opposite of Max. When a rough day on the job sets the stage for disaster, Max’s quick temper and a need to play knight in shining armor makes a bad situation even worse. After a very observant Skyler patches Max up, both are forced to face some less visible wounds that are just as in need of healing. Max needs to find the courage to admit a few things to Skyler-and to himself-or he might lose everything.
Review: A cute little story. Really short. I think that if it had been longer, more developed, it would have been perfect. I liked Skyler, the gay cross-dresser, and I liked the depth of feelings Max had for him. Because of the shortness of the story, though, I felt like I was missing a lot. Need to read the 2nd story in the series.
