The Collector

What's a man to do when justice is an unattainable dream, the system doesn't protect the victim, and his moral principles scream bl00dy mVrder? Cross the last line, accept the tempting invitation of two strangers and become the vigilante he never thought he would be. That's Chase's life in a nutshell - an unexpected rollercoaster that will land him in quite the hot waters. The Collector by Matthew Dante is a dark romance story, but with enough entertaining light moments, banter and steam to make the darkness milder and breathable. The adorably awkward and easily flustered ex cop Chase with his far from brilliant investigative skills but a heart bigger than his home country - Canada - made me smile and turn the pages impatiently to find out what the future holds for him. And it didn't disappoint - La Maison de M was not not only the place with the only lead his small squad of vigilante justice had, but the place where he met Levi. And here I want to use a quote of the book that so accurately describes the madness on page :
“Poor Chase. Was he really ready to join this crazy and fucked up family of misfits?”
This well written and entertaining story contains some of my favourite elements and tropes - dash of suspense, grain of grittiness, found family with a sexy Daddy, guarding his members with love, care and if necessary...some force and not so gentle tools, interesting cast of characters and a basket of unexpected fun and not so fun moments. If you like growly, a little bit over the top protective men that's another thing you will find here. Let's see what kind of action or challenge the next books will bring.
