Description:

When love drifts into his life, danger isn’t far behind.

Sam Mayne’s life is as dull as the dishwater in his small-town Montana diner, and that’s just how he wants it. Quiet, uneventful, safe from his shadowy past. The breezy young drifter who answers his help-wanted ad makes him uneasy in ways he dare not examine too closely. Except he can’t help but be pulled in by Jay Colby’s spunky attitude, endless stories, and undeniable sex appeal.

Fresh off yet another romantic disaster, Jay doesn’t understand his attraction to the taciturn line cook, but there’s no fighting the chemistry that lands them in bed together. Where Sam’s subtly dominant streak takes command, and Jay delights in discovering the pleasures of his submissive side.

Safe in the assumption their relationship is temporary, neither lover holds back when the heat is on. Until Sam’s deadly past catches up with them with a vengeance, forcing him to drop the life he’s built, pick up his lover, and run. As danger cuts closer to the bone, Sam and Jay are forced to face the truth. About themselves, about the depth of their love—and the newly forged bonds that are about to be tested to the limit.

Product Warnings
Contains enough sparks to ignite a sexual fire, ably fanned by the judicious use of some interesting props, as well as some butt-warming spanking. Sizzzzle

Last Stop is a sexy, high octane, suspenseful book by Lou Harper. Until this book, I’ve never read anything by Lou but you can bet I’ll be checking out her other offerings soon. I am amazed at the depth of the plot, the interesting characters, and some very hot M/M sex scenes with a little bondage thrown in as well.

Sam Mayne is a distant, hard edged man. He owns a diner and lives a simple, reclusive life out of necessity. Living in small town Montana, he doesn’t flaunt his homosexuality. When Jay Colby arrives at his diner asking about the help wanted sign in the window, Sam knows he’s in trouble.

It doesn’t take long for Sam and Jay to start a sexual relationship. Jay is quite a bit younger than Sam and has always been involved with older men. Sam realizes he’s just a pit stop for Jay and that’s okay by him because he can’t do long term.

Jay has no problem telling Sam about his past, sometimes in great detail much to Sam’s dismay. Sam on the other hand is pretty tight lipped about his past. Then one day his past catches up to him. I really want to say more but I won’t so I don’t spoil the story for you, but you HAVE to read this book!

There is intrigue, danger, sex, and some pretty big revelations in this story. Because of the danger element, I really felt like Sam and Jay’s relationship is more intense. During their time together, these two begin to realize that having someone to care about and someone to rely on isn’t always a bad thing. I enjoyed this book very much and am looking forward to reading more from this author.
