Denver (Hunter Security #2)

This series promises some angst, and I know I'll regret it later, but I need to read some angst-y things right now. Here's Laura John's Hunter Security series. The second novel is "Denver."

["DENVER
Accidentally receiving an explicit pic from my best friend was a surprise, but my reaction to it was a shocker. Last year, with one text, my eyes were opened to an attraction that’s grown into so much more.
No matter what my feelings are, he’s still my best friend and I’ll always have his back. So when he shows up at my door needing a place to live, I don’t think twice.
Having him so close and not being together is harder than I thought, but it’s better than losing him completely.
When an unexpected gift changes his life, I’m there and commit to helping him raise the child he’s always wanted, regardless of my own heart.

I never expected to become a single dad. I always thought I’d be settled when it happened; be in a relationship, have a home, promoted at my job, basically living my picket fence dreams.
While my life may not be going according to my plans, I at least have my ride-or-die best friend here by my side through it all.
At first, I thought it was the sleep deprivation, but as time goes on, I’m starting to realize that seeing him with my son is doing unexpected things to my body and my heart. If I’ve learned anything recently, it’s to take a chance on the unexpected.
Just when I feel like I have a handle on my new life, my work leave gets cut short.
A serial killer is on the loose and my team is called on to help catch him. I’m left torn between my duty as a detective, being a new father, and my rapidly growing feelings for my best friend.
Will everything end up sunshine and rainbows or will our destiny be like dark cloud with lightning ready to strike us down?"]

This one happened quickly. The feelings. The romance. The love. It was so natural and perfect and happy.

It could have easily ended there. A novella. Fluffy, spicy, short.

But it didn't. Then, they went back to work and the serial killer case got more attention and...shit happened (everyone is okay--except the serial killer). But it all definitely added drama and suspense and angst and I sobbed. So worth the read.

Trigger Warnings: detective work (serial killer, dead and abused missing young girls, off-page child abuse, off-page sexual assault, and more)
