First off, I think the timeline is a little fast. There are only a couple things that keep this from being a 5 star read for me. I had difficulty imagining how McKinley would pull off a happy ending for these two considering their circumstances, but she managed to do it very convincingly without sacrificing the integrity of the characterizations or the internal logic of the plot.
They both face some extremely difficult moral choices and have to live with the consequences of their decisions. I really appreciate how McKinley never makes it easy for Miller and Danny. Granted, the entire premise of this book requires much suspension of disbelief, but I think if an FBI agent and a criminal informant were to get together, this would be how it happens. I thought the process they took from first meeting to becoming a couple was done in a fairly believable way. I loved seeing the slow build of Miller and Danny's mutual attraction and understanding, and the tenderness they shared when they finally got together. McKinley weaves a compelling and emotional tale with tight prose and fully-fleshed out characters. In these close quarters, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to ignore their growing attraction. When Hinestroza learns about this betrayal, Danny is placed under Miller's protection, living with him in an apartment safehouse owned by the FBI. Finally, after Danny gets busted on gun charges, Miller has an opportunity to catch the elusive drug lord and Danny's boss Hinestroza by convincing Danny to testify against his criminal employer. FBI Agent Miller Sutton has spent the past nine months tracking and learning everything about drug runner Danny Butler. This is a wonderful, masterfully-written story about two men on opposite sides of the law.
