Forcing two so very different people to spend time together kept the story interesting even when they weren’t hiding or running for their lives.Īnd speaking of running: I loved the action scenes here. I enjoyed the contrast of not only something as simple as their appearance, but their backgrounds, personalities, and outlook on life. Ghost and Duncan both have their charms and are fleshed out, relatable, and realistic. Rough Trade is the third installment in Sidney Bell’s Woodbury Boys, but it could be read as a standalone in it were references that were obviously about the previous two books – enough for me to guess who the main characters in those books were – but I still didn’t feel lost because this one follows a new main couple.

It’s been months since I’ve read such a long book, but man, oh, man, was it worth turning all those pages! So then why does every imaginable scenario for taking down their common enemy end with Ghost in his arms? Ghost is Duncan’s polar opposite, and the last person he expected to fall for. Now he’s got the wrong people breathing down his neck, and the only way out demands placing his trust in the unlikeliest of heroes: Duncan Rook, a gruff cop whose ethics are as solid as his body.Ĭozying up to a criminal is hardly what Duncan’s reputation on the force needs-especially when that criminal is temptation personified. Quick-witted hustler Ghost is no stranger to living dangerously survival has always been the name of the game.
