This is a M\/M romance, and the second book I’ve read set in this world.<\/p>\n

Not for me. The characters are pretty good, however, the story and “mystery” (for what it was worth) wandered all over the place and definitely took second (or even third) place to the boinking.<\/p>\n

A lot of it just fell flat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m told the corned beef is good,\u201d Cicero said with a delicate shudder. <\/p>\n

Tom settled into the seat across from him. \u201cWhat, you think I like corned beef just because I\u2019m Irish?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAye,\u201d he admitted. \u201cStill.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The world is interesting, but the story just didn’t love up to the characters or the ideas of the world.<\/p>\n

It was just a letdown.<\/p>\n
