Bad Idea (Stonewall Investigations Miami Book 1)

Almost gave up reading this as found the first half slightly ridiculous and frustrating. Firstly, the initial impressions of the 2 main characters regarding each other were shockingly gushy and I thought unrealistic. I get that the chemistry was there but come on, a little build up please. I almost expected them to elope to Vegas during that never ending first meeting which went on and on. Secondly for a detective novel there was very little detecting. Nothing gritty or realistic. Gabe was also quite unprofessional at times. I didn't understand the hugging and back slapping when he visited the trio of club owners initially. I mean they 're bloody clients why behave like they were best buddies. Just because almost everyone in the book is gay (also unrealistic) doesn't mean they automatically like each other, thats just not going to happen. A few disliked characters who are essentially arseholes is a must for any book. The detectives were all so cheery and almost too nice and there was a lack of seriousness about most of them to be honest. Jonah's ex Mrs got a hard time, almost brutal for the only female character, abit poorly repressed really. Who stays with someone who treats them that badly after they are shot in the head!!! Sex scenes rocked, author does those exceeding well and outcome of book was thankfully much better than the start. Phewww

Gabriel and Jonah are such likeable characters, they literally stole my heart from the moment I started reading the book. This is a follow on to the author's successful Stonewall series, this first book of the new series proved a promising beginning.I really enjoyed their story. They were both drawn to each other, but they both had their own reasons for keeping their distance. I loved the initial push and pull of their relationship.The characters were well-matched, both perfect for one another. Jonah, is the victim of an attack that has left him anxiety riddled, Gabriel's gentleness with Jonah, coupled with his patience was wonderful to read.There are a lot of intense and serious moments, as well as a lot of laughter in the story, this, coupled with the mystery, the two men are working on, makes for a decent read. 4 and a half stars.

When Jonah goes for an interview as a detective and meets Fox he doesn’t realise how much his life is about to change. As they investigate a new drug that is killing gay club goers Jonah starts to accept his true colours are more rainbow than he previously thought.The right mix of romance and action with a hint of Miami Vice.

Loved it can't wait to see what's next from miami. A fantastic start to a new series,the characters were brilliantly done and the chemistry between them was off the charts it's like a sexy action packed film in a book,it was sexy funny and full of action it even had the odd explosion, everything you need in a book. I absolutely recommend this book a definite must read

This series is going to be as good as the original Stonewall. Loved Jonah and Fox, so good, the plot line was a little thin but still definitely one not to miss

Oh dear! This was not good. Why? Badly written - so stilted & simplistic, it was painful to read with so much over-explanation & stating of the obvious, it left little to the imagination and then there was the 'banter', which really was not funny. Really - not funny. How others have given it 5 stars is beyond me. Put me off this author completely. As for the story line, am rolling eyes as I type this review. Trite and silly, with a love story that was just bad, and one of my pet aversions - a female character who was just nasty, perhaps even a tad misogynist. Just no.

I have just finished reading this book. Another wonderful story! I hope that you all get to read it. Brilliant book

I loved the initial stonewall investigation series and this first book in the Miami series did not disappoint. Thoroughly recommend.
