When I started this book, I didn’t realize that there were other books before it, I just quickly got it because I have read others by this author in the past and really enjoyed them. From what I can tell though, the other books do have different characters, so I didn’t feel too lost when I was reading the story.With that being said, I did feel slightly confused because the book started out with a bang, and I had the feeling that I was missing something from the pasts of the characters. I didn’t let that stop me though, I continued reading the story and I ended up really enjoying it. This isn’t my normal read when it comes to the M/M genre, but I was very glad that I read it because I realized that I did in fact enjoy it.I really liked how the story was one that was very packed with suspense and details that kept me very interested as to what was going to happen next. I liked the attention that Ms. Harris gave to Elias in almost everything about him. I loved how innocent he was, and how she managed to keep him that way throughout the story. I was expecting him to lose his innocence very quickly, but thankfully that was not the case.I also liked how Joe’s character was. While he seemed very mean and tough on the outside, once you got to know him, you learn how he really is. There was a really good balance when it came to the characters that kept it interesting between them.Overall, I would say that if you enjoy reading this genre, then you should give this book a chance!*Copy provided for review*Reviewed by Crystal Marie for Crystal’s Many Reviewers November Rain is the end of the road for this series...for now. I don't know if Ms Harris has more planned for this series or not. I sincerely hope so.I've enjoyed these books they've been easy reading with some really likeable characters and a good blend of the familiar and the new. This book was more new than familiar we really only saw a little bit of Henri from previous books because he works at Nordstrom's with Elias. The dynamics between Joe and Elias were challenging to say the least. Along with the age and cultural differences there was the whole issue of Joe being an idiot and Elias's family and let us not forget Joe's asshat Ex...wow, talk about someone with an 'I don't want you, but no one else gets to have you' syndrome. I wanted to smack him upside the head. I had a bit of rage with Joe for a while because I wanted him to get his head out of his butt and see what was right in front of him. In the end things resolved themselves very nicely and I was pleased with the direction that they ended up taking very sweet and yes once again these two men were very sexy.Over all I really enjoyed this book, actually all of the books in this series and I do hope there is more to come in this series...seems to me there was a fire fighter in book 3 named Cody that seemed to be asking for his own story...mmmm...what do you say Ms Harris, got anything more to share with us about him?3.5 stars rounded up to 4 for GR. Also let me just say all of these covers were very droolworthy.
