Long Time Gone by S.E. Jakes (4.5 Stars)

Long Time Gone - S.E. Jakes

You know a book is good when you get angry at yourself for not making more time to read it.  I even went to bed early the night before because I was dying to read more about Prophet and Tommy.  

 

A true adventure story, this one seems a little less grand than the tale that introduced us to Prophet and Tommy, To Catch a Ghost, the story a little more personal, probably because we're taken to the small Louisiana parish where Tommy grew up.  We meet friends, family, enemies and find out some of what makes Tom, Tom, and we're treated to a mystery from the past that rears its ugly head in the present.  

 

I love how S.E. writes her characters.  These are guys and their conversation and banter is PERFECT for this type of buddy adventure story.  I love both of them. And I truly love the way that they're falling in love with each other and are addicted physically to each other in the most SEXY of ways.  And the conflict!  Oh my Lord, these boys are not going into this relationship easily!  And I love it!

 

One of my favourite shows these days is Strike Back and I find that same 'black ops' adventure flavour present in this "Hell or High Water" series as I do in the show.  

 

I would highly, HIGHLY recommend both books (because you really need to read book #1 before reading this one) to anyone who enjoys buddy/adventure m/m type of tale.  I can tell you that I'm going to add S.E. Jakes to my 'gotta read' list of authors and am kind of thrilled that she has a bit of a backlist for me to get through.  :)
