Description

Liam has officially stolen the show, and if you have been following the Deadly Mistakes series, you know that is no small feat. In this third installment, the high-stakes game of cat and mouse intensifies as a serial manipulator faces off against a calculated serial killer. The tension is sharper, the stakes are higher, and the chemistry between our leads has never been more electric. What makes this entry truly stand out is the masterful balance between a gripping, pulse-pounding murder mystery and a deeply compelling romance. The narrative is packed with twists that will keep you guessing until the final page, proving that the danger surrounding these characters is only matched by the magnetic pull between them. It is a brilliant study of trust and survival, where every move could be a fatal error, yet the bond between the protagonists remains the anchor in the chaos. If you love stories where the mystery is just as smart as the banter and the emotional payoff is earned through grit and heart, this is a must-read. You will find yourself rooting for these men as they navigate a world where a simple present mistake could cost them everything they have built together.

Love these guys and this series

Ok, so it’s official. I have fallen in love with Liam. Yup. I did not expect it, but it happened. Now, he sits right up there with Gabriel in my high regard. I don’t know what that says about me, but, hey, the author is very persuasive. A Present Mistake is an excellent continuation of this series. I enjoyed seeing all the characters I’ve come to expect. They keep these scenes moving forward with humor and no small sense of exasperation. Gabriel and Liam are still a good couple, even when they are questioning their place in each other’s lives. I love their dynamic and I hope they keep coming back for more. It tickled me to see that Jesse played a bigger role in this book. It shocked and distressed me when I found out what brought him into a main character role, though. I enjoyed this storyline. It allowed several of the characters to shine. It took the reveal to show me who the bad guy was, and boy, was I surprised. I was on the edge of my seat throughout. This series keeps getting better and better. I look forward to more from this author.

Excellent Murder/Mystery Romance with Humour

Serial manipulator vs serial killer makes for an interesting overarching storyline. Stronger murder/mystery than book #2. Liam's getting some... not-enemies in his coworker cohort - friends is not a word he likes. I'm more of a dog person but Gabriel and Liam's kitties, Lucy Fur (sticking with Liam's name for Lucille Pawl) and Butter, were little scene stealers. Cousin Tom the bully. Pfft, Snort. Loved it. Liam, you rule. Gabriel's mother is awesome, as is his sister. I really like his random and loving family. There's more about secondary characters, like Matthew and Jesse, who I am pretty sure are working their way toward a book. However, I'm only interested in Liam and Gabriel. I like the secondary characters but, personally, I don't want them as MCs. It's Liam and Gabriel I'm here for. Love. Them. I'm off to listen to the audiobook, it's out now, because I heard Greg Boudreaux voicing Liam and Gabriel in my head the entire time I read the book.

Cats and Crime!

Cats, an MC who feels emotions less and an interesting perp, what more could I want. Second Alice Winters book after quite a while and I loved it. The medical examiner was in trouble, he is friend to Gabe and Liam(who denys it) so they help. This criminal is a worthy adversary and brings out the best? worst? in Liam and so begins a hunt involving the whole department. I loved how the differences between Gabe and Liam were pointed out, cleverly mostly by Liam. And Liam just wanting to give Gabe every material thing when he only wants Liam is adorable. It got emotional in the last few episodes and that made it better. I will read the next book when it comes out.
