His scream changed my life forever.
I clean up the streets of Anaheim from the hate one man left behind. On the surface, I work with the local authorities but in secret, I kill those who hurt others.
During a planned interception, we arrive on the scene too late and a man’s scream fills the streets. The moment I look upon his face, my entire life shifts to make him the center. Instead of going to a hospital, I bring him home.
Now I need to figure out how to nurse him back to health and hope he can accept my quirks so I can keep him.

Oxley by Crea Reitan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oxley Van Doren…his life is ordered. He likes his routines, his savior (vigilante) ways, and his family. But now, because a gunshot, he has a man that takes first place in his heart and soul. Huntley, hurrying home, gets shot in the leg and is rescued by Oxley. When he wakes up in a strange place with a strange man taking care of him he just goes with it. Even though he doesn’t realize it yet, his heart and soul know he is home.
The Van Doren family dynamic was definitely at play here. Oxley struggles with defining his place. His disorders seemingly either stronger or weaker than the family around him. I think he is probably the most endearing person in the family.
Oxley and Huntley just gave me a sense of peace. Even though they were brought together by violence, that seemed to fade into the background. It was an insta knowing they were meant to be together.
A short, sweet love story accompanied by a bit of blood and vengeance.

About the Author: Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…
When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!
