Ex-cop
Marcus walks the streets, heartbroken and determined to keep the area around
his home free from the druggies, pimps and other bad seeds that populate a big
city. His heart safe behind the wall he built when his lover/partner died in a
freak mugging turned murder has left Ben feeling broken, alone. That is until a
cute blond waif starts to make him feel again.
Ben is
determined to not let anyone close to him. After a devastating crime that has
left him broken inside, he sells himself twice a week to help pay for his last
year of college. When a potential customer doesn’t take no for an answer, Ben
finds himself looking into a pair of eyes that warms his frozen heart. But can
these two broken men find a way to trust in love once again? And what happens
when Ben’s past comes back to haunt him?
Author T.A.
Webb delivers a pulse pounding ride from start to finish. In this introduction
to a new series by Mr. Webb, we meet Ben and Marcus, two people who have had
pain in their lives. One who just wants to move forward while the other just
wants to stay in the past. The question the readers as well as Marcus and Ben
will have to figure out is that in order to move forward, you need to deal with
the past. I have to stress this is one short novella, about forty pages or so
and Mr. Webb packs enough angst, emotion and yummy scorching sex to keep the
reader glued to the pages until the very end. This is the first part of a
trilogy and yes, the ending will leave you going ‘huh?’ and “that is it?” but I
promise you will race to get part two. I know I did.
Author T.A.
Webb has a way with words that transport you as you read. To the hot steamy
streets of Atlanta to the shadows that deepen as the night goes on. This is a
story that will steal your breath away from the first page to the last. The
characters are very well written, achingly vulnerable-even the main characters
may not think so and a storyline that leaves you wondering what happens next.
The main characters, Ben and Marcus are terrifyingly real, so much so I had to
put down the book a few times to wipe away the tears after reading some moments
the characters experienced that hurt me deeply for them. This is an author who
is on his way to being a masterful storyteller, one who leaves their readers
left wanting more and achingly vulnerable. The sex between Marcus and Ben is
hot, tender and healing. Both men bring something to the other that they
achingly need, that they deny themselves even as they long for it. It is a
story full of emotions, grit, angst, reality and so much more I could go on for
hours about CITY KNIGHT.
If you are
looking for a realistic story of two broken people who somehow find the one
person they need to be whole again, then you need to read CITY KNIGHT. I
just warn you, you will get sucked in and won’t want to put it down. Mr. Webb
is a talented author who is on the fast track of becoming one of m/m’s biggest
stars in the field. Well done, Mr. Webb for crafting a story that steams the
readers heart and leaves them eager for more.
