REVIEW: Their Special Agent by Mel Gough


A murder. Three gorgeous men. One choice – Do your job, or follow your heart?

On the eve of the Thistle Hearts reunion tour, the rock band’s manager is found murdered. When Special Agent Carrie McDonald arrives to assist with the investigation, the band has mixed emotions about the involvement of the FBI. Fifteen years after their heyday, Jay, Lou and Corey have everything riding on a successful comeback, and their manager’s violent death has thrown them into turmoil. The last thing they need is the wrong kind of press.

As Carrie delves into the case, the band’s complex history of desire and tragedy emerges. Their shared passion intrigues and excites her, and gradually, the men open up and draw her into their ménage.

But a killer is on the loose, and he’s not yet done with Thistle Hearts.
Can Carrie prevent another brutal crime and protect the men who offer her a future beyond her wildest dreams? 

This was a wonderfully well written book. Most are stuffed full of erotica and sex this author actually put a lot of time and effort into the plot and story. It helped to really understand the characters and story-line. It was a great read.

Carrie is one hard ass FBI agent until she meets three boys that will change everything she thinks and does regarding her job and her personal life to boot. She is strong and powerful yet small and mighty in personality.

Corey oh my lordy, he is for sure my favorite of all the guys. Mister Casa Nova himself, he could charm the pants off of anybody he  meets. I think he may be the most hurt by Carrie and her dismissal of him.

Lou is definitely the timid sweet innocent one of the group. Jay and Corey take care of him but he is no slough. Hes sexy and knows what he wants and has some attitude to his personality.

Jay oh man he is full of attitude towards Carrie and any law enforcement professional because of past experiences. He is for sure the leader. Strong dominant and a big caretaker.

This book is full of intrigue and mystery surrounding the band and their manager being murdered. I definitely wasn't expecting who the murderer was, I thought it was someone completely different and I loved that i sat there while reading it trying to figure it out and really I had no clue.

Jay and Lou's relationship brings a whole new aspect to the reverse Harem novel. It adds a twist you normally wouldn't think about in their personal situation and how Carrie deals with it.

4 stars

Mel Gough loves writing about love – but with a twist. Nominated for the 2019 Selfies Awards, her bisexual romantic suspense novel He is Mine is a typical Mel Gough story. She needs her HEA fix, but on the way there will be thorns and fire, and sometimes brimstone. All right, that might be over the top, especially since her stories are firmly based in the real world - though not always in the here and now.

Born in Germany, exploring other realities has been Mel’s siren call since she was young. Books opened up a plethora of worlds, and soon gave her a strong love of the English language. After an MA in Anthropology, field work in the middle of nowhere seemed like one adventure too far, so Mel settled in London, which, to misquote Dr. Johnson, she will never tire of.

Mel loves to bend genres – her romances are gritty and dark, and sometimes there’s a dead body. She’s been told that her prose is beautiful yet disturbingly real. She’s curious about bygone times, and hopes to speculate about the future in one of her next books.
She was once asked “How to tell you're in a Mel Gough novel”
- You were either sick or in an accident, or you’re caring for someone who was
- You're bisexual (or your partner is)
- Your partner has unusual eyes (probably grey)
- Life sucks a lot, but then you meet someone, and things get better (less)
