Mexican Heat by Laura Baumbach and Josh Lanyon

Another gay romance winner! Laura Baumbach and Josh Lanyon write a perfectly sexy, romantic story about two men from different drug cartels who fall in love with as they work with each other while their respective groups come together in a partnership for a heroin deal.

Of course there's a twist: one is an undercover cop from the Italian group while the other is a lieutenant of the Mexican group.

So exciting!

I really enjoyed reading this novel. The pacing of the book was smooth, the writing was excellent and the dialogue hilarious and achingly sweet. Since Laura Baumbach is part of the manlove movement - where the focus is gay romance, not gay erotica - there were plenty of sweet and touching moments in this novel that just made me go to mush. But it was not so sweet and gushy that the men acted like women - quite the opposite.

If you want a good star-crossed lovers of romance with some drugs and guns thrown in, then this is definitely the book for you!
