Elliot and Tucker had a brief, passionate affair which ended abruptly and badly during Elliot’s long rehabilitation from the injuries he suffered during the shootout. When Elliot investigates, he is brought into contact with his ex-lover, Tucker Lance, who is still in the FBI, serving as a field agent assigned to investigate violent crimes. While Elliot’s ability to secure a plum academic position at the drop of a hat requires a major suspension of my disbelief, your pitch-perfect descriptions of college life, down to Elliot’s faculty colleagues and the President, lets me treat it as a fiction shortcut rather than a sign of inaccuracies to come.Įlliot’s dull but comfortable faculty existence is interrupted by the disappearance of one of the college’s undergraduates, Terry Baker, who also happens to be the son of his father’s old friends. Rather than accept a desk job, he changes careers and becomes a history professor at Puget Sound University, where his father was a beloved, longtime faculty member until his retirement. This credential turns out to be fortunate when he is injured in a shootout and has to give up his field agent position. I’m a sucker for novels set in colleges and I was hooked from the first few pages.Įlliot Mills is a former FBI agent who also has a Ph.D. I have your first two Adrien English books in my ebook TBR, but when I saw that you had a stand-alone coming out from Carina, I was intrigued. My recent and much too delayed venture into m/m romance led naturally to your books, given their strong reviews and word-of-mouth and my predilection for mysteries.
