It was interesting to see Jim argue with himself about what he was feeling for Griffin and coming to the realization that this was it, Griffin was the one for him. I loved how the author made the two men slowly come to grips with what was actually happening. For Jim, it was just to loosen up a little bit and let himself love someone. For Griffin it was trying to go out on his own and sever the ties that were holding him back. Neither one was looking for romance and they both have some issues that were needing to be worked out. I really enjoyed the way these two characters were brought together. I just couldn’t see him with a party-goer from Hollywood, but this author made it work. Jim lives in Seattle, he’s a workaholic and keeps pretty much to himself. When we see his first meeting with Jim, it was hard for me to wrap my mind around him being a love interest.

Their attraction is immediate, and Daisy encourages Griffin to use it to their advantage: secure the man, secure the story. But to get the juicy details, Griffin needs to win over the stoic and protective Detective Shea. It’s that man’s story that screenwriter Griffin Drake and his best friend, actress Daisy Baylor, see as their ticket out of action blockbusters and into more serious fare. The emotional fallout of the trial leaves Jim vulnerable and duty-bound to the victim’s dying father. A judge banged his gavel, declared a defendant not guilty, and laid waste to a family.
