4 Pants Off
Blurb: Lieutenant Connor Morgan of SFPD’s SWAT division wasn’t looking for love. Especially not in a man. His life plan didn’t include one Forest Ackerman, a brown-eyed, blond drummer who’s as sexy as he is trouble. His family depends on him to be like his father, a solid pillar of strength who’ll one day lead the Morgan clan.
No, Connor has everything worked out—a career in law enforcement, a nice house, and a family. Instead, he finds a murdered man while on a drug raid and loses his heart comforting the man’s adopted son. It wasn’t like he’d never thought about men — it’s just loving one doesn’t fit into his plans.
Forest Ackerman certainly doesn’t need to be lusting after a straight cop, even if Connor Morgan is everywhere he looks, especially after Frank’s death. He’s just talked himself out of lusting for the brawny cop when his coffee shop becomes a war zone and Connor Morgan steps in to save him.
Whoever killed his father seems intent on Forest joining him in the afterlife. As the killer moves closer to achieving his goal, Forest tangles with Connor Morgan and is left wondering what he’ll lose first—his life or his heart.
Review
ONE SHOT, TWO SHOT
This series man…it’s a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions and this book had me in hoops with a series of huge drops. Tequila Mockingbird is the 3rd book in the Sinners series and just like its predecessors it brought the murder and mayhem, and of course the family drama.
Connor Morgan gets called to
go bust down a meth lab, being swat means him and his men get to go
in first and hope they don’t get filled with bullet holes. The scene
doesn’t turn out to be a meth lab, but he does find himself rescuing a
dead body and then comforting the dead mans son in his arms.
Surprisingly, comforting the boy is turning out to be a highlight and
Connor finds that he is very drawn to Forest Ackerman and
keeps going to wherever the boy seems to be. Connor can’t explain the
fascination since he’s never in his whole life been attracted to a man
but Forest seems to be an exception to the rule, and the men begin a tentative friendship. Well Connor begins a friendship and Forest just side eyes 👀 him.
When it becomes clear that the murder of Forest’s dad wasn't an isolated incident, Connor had to put everything on the line to protect his man. Someone wants Forest dead, and Connor will make damn sure that it doesn’t happen. You see, Forest
has been through way too much in his short life, and now is the time
for him to be protected and nurtured. Morgan knows where his feelings
stand and he will not lose the man he loves to some psychopath bent on
destruction. Because when you get one Morgan, it means you get all the
Morgans. Forest has got an Arsenal at his back and they’ll keep him safe, even from himself.
As with most Rhys Ford books the killer is just out there doing the most. Shooting up coffee shops, killing everybody in order to get to one person. Forest
has no idea who would want to harm him, since he just moves by him
lonesome and focuses on his drumming. His life before has made him
guarded, and I don’t even want to mention the things he had to do to
survive and mostly forced by the persons who is to love him
conditionally (his weak sauce mom). I don’t even want to mention it much less think about it, it gets me hella ragey.
Forest and Connor are really cute, and their relationship is something akin to insta-love but it feels more like friendship with the added bonus of dick in ass. But insta-love, insta-lust or whatever totally makes sense when dealing with Connor (panties poof) the Irish brogue and all that, plus he’s big with the black hair (panties forever gone), he had me at “hello”.
Mix in the guys from the previous books and all the Morgan Clan, and
Tequila Mockingbird is a great mix of all the characters and I just
really enjoyed it.
My dislike, was
who turned out to be the killer. I wasn’t feeling any of it, was really
quite disappointed because the destruction up until the reveal was quite
entertaining. I did a eye roll 🙄
when all was revealed, his revenge became insignificant and with the
medical stuff eventually redundant. Disappointed, Darien was
disappointed 😞
Overall,
another solid read by the talented Rhys Ford. When I need fast pace,
psycho shit, and sexy sexy times I know just the author to give it to
me. Another great addition to the series, and I am looking froward to
see who wants to kill these guys next.
