A Matter of Time Book III by Mary Calmes

(Although to be fair, he chooses the assignment – and to leave Jory – to go undercover because he can’t afford to say no after his partner was discovered to be on the take, Sam is under scrutiny and should it become known he was in a relationship with a witness, it would ruin his career. By the end of the second book, Sam has admitted he’s gay and has come out to his family and colleagues and is set for a future with Jory, until a last minute attempt on their lives railroads everything, leaves Jory seriously injured and Sam being assigned to an undercover task force to root out the bad guys.

1 was originally published as two books, and neither ends particularly happily for Jory and Sam. When he witnesses a murder, Jory refuses to go into witness protection (is that actually allowed?) and then becomes involved with the gruff, hot detective assigned to the case – Sam Kage, who is strongly attracted to Jory from the get-go, but tries to ignore it because he’s straight (or so he thinks). You could probably make a drinking game out of it how often Jory is called beautiful (by both men and women) and how many men are falling over themselves to sleep with him or have a relationship with him.Īnyway. Rating: Narration: B- Content: B-Īrchitect’s assistant Jory Keyes is young, gay, free, single and gorgeous – as we’re repeatedly reminded. And though Jory may survive the danger, he may not survive a broken heart. While dealing with attempts on his life, well-meaning friends who want to see him happy, an overly protective boss, and a slowly unfolding mystery that is much more sinister than he could ever imagine, the young gay man finds himself getting involved with Sam, the conflicted and closeted detective. But Jory’s life is in real jeopardy, especially after he agrees to testify about what he saw. Though initially saved by police Detective Sam Kage, Jory refuses protective custody – he has a life he loves that he won’t give up no matter who is after him. Jory Keyes leads a normal life as an architect’s assistant until he is witness to a brutal murder.
