Fly Away Home

By: Felice Stevens

Narrated by: J.F. Harding

Maybe Colson Delacourt teasing those nosy ladies in the coffeeshop with the plot of his next murder mystery was a bad idea. But does that mean he deserves to be arrested for attempting to kill his elderly neighbor? Why won’t the police believe he has nothing to do with her getting hurt? That detective Harper Rose won’t listen to him—he’s so annoying and arrogant. And sexy and gorgeous.

Then Colson also becomes the victim of a crime, and Harper is there to protect and serve with his body and lips. But after the suspects are caught, Harper returns again and again, and Colson can’t resist. There’s just something about a man with a badge and a big…gun to make a guy feel safe.

As a detective Harper is fearless, but when they’re together, he’s afraid to open his heart. He’s hiding something…or someone. Harper swears he’s not married and doesn’t have a boyfriend, so why can’t he ever stay the night? The closer they get, the more Harper pushes Colson away, ghosting him for days, then popping up and acting as if nothing is wrong. The disappearing act he keeps pulling isn’t going to work.

Colson knows what it’s like to have half a relationship, and he isn’t going to make that mistake again. He wants to be strong and walk away, but he sees Harper’s gentle, caring side and knows there’s a key that will unlock the mystery of Harper’s hidden life.

Colson wants them to plant roots and make a home. And that can’t happen unless Harper tells him the truth. Should Colson risk his heart for the possibility that they will soar together, or is it time to say good-bye?

Fly Away Home is a swoony, sexy, MM romance between two men who discover that love will find them when they least expect it. It's filled with steamy moments, tons of banter, found family, brotherly love and lots of home-made apple pie goodness.

Love love love this book so so much! Thank you Felice and J. F! Phenomenal work! Such an amazing story! I cried and then laughed and then oh wow didn’t see that coming! Fantastic book! Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Even J.F. Harding can't fix this.

This book is always just off the mark for me, as in Pick A Land! Its starts with a clever enough premise, but then in an attempt to show how devoted Harper is to his younger brother, Stevens goes so far down another path that I find it hard to reconcile the show story.

One part of the story is semi-thriller, with a break in, a frail old lade everyone is worried about, and some shady teens. Then we have detective Harper, smoldering, sexy and keeping a secret. Harper's secret is his younger brother, David, who was injured in a school bus accident as a child, leaving him with a profound brain injury as well as paralysis.

To me, the author has to look at these plot points and ask: "how do these go together?" Is she going to put the younger brother in some sort of danger as well? Let's hope not. But I doubt anyone would choose to make the premise about Harper hiding his brother's existence from Colton because a former BF didn't want to be burdened with a disabled person in the house! There was already enough story between Harper, Colton and David that the crime stories were more irritating than intriguing - they just felt unnecessary to this bigger plat. This could have been a story about learning to trust again, with a sweet, slow burn energy. Instead with have a octopus of a story with all eight arms flailing about at once.

This saving grace for this experience is Harding's thoughtful narration. He voices a great old lady, which really helps. Sadly, he can't streamline the meandering story. I wouldn't use a credit for this one.
