How can you trust the man who tried to kill you?

Undercover cop Deacon Shepherd lost everything trying to maintain his cover - the man he loved and the future he craved. He walked away and never looked back because it was the only way to keep Rafael alive.

The last thing he needs is to be dragged back in that world, but an attempt on Rafael's life is enough to make him risk his heart again.

Rafael 'Rafe' Ramirez wakes up in the hospital, the victim of a hit and run. He’s horrified when the first face he sees is that of the man who betrayed him and left him for dead three years before. Witness protection had stripped Rafe of his family and friends, and now it seems his sacrifice to bring his Uncle to justice was for nothing.

Someone wants Rafe dead, and the only way he can stay alive is to go with the murdering drug dealer who broke his heart. But how can he ever trust Deacon, and how can Deacon protect Rafe without falling in love all over again?

How do you balance the need to do your job, save lives and protect someone you’re falling for? This is the dilemma Deacon finds himself in. He’s undercover trying to take down a truly evil man and his family. Into the middle of all this wanders Rafe. While Deacon believes he’s innocent, how can he really tell? What do you do when the one person you want is the one you can’t step out of character for and show who you really are?

Rafe wants justice, for his mother and his father. He knows his uncle has something to do with both of their deaths. He needs to find something to prove it. While staying at his uncle’s house, he can’t fight his attraction to Deacon. But how can he be falling for someone who works for his uncle?

The first part of the story is all about conflicted emotions for both Deacon and Rafe. Deacon wants to do whatever he can to get Rafe out of harm’s way and Rafe is just as determined to not leave until he has the proof he needs.

The next part of the story happens three years down the road. Circumstances have led to Rafe and Deacon reconnecting. And the feelings from three years before haven’t gone away for either man. In the middle of danger, the relationship developing between Deacon and Rafe is a slow burn. And the sex is more sweet and caring than hot.

This story has all the intrigue, danger and angst you could want. It has some twist and turns as well. It keeps you on edge, waiting to see what happens next. This was book three in the series, it can stand-alone but is better read in the order of the series. I can’t wait for the next in this series.

RJ Scott has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I think it's the way she writes explaining the story and characters, defining the scenes and describing the emotions and dialog of each character... and oh yeah the great imagination and story telling ability.

Anyway, this book series was excellent, the stories superb and yeah... published in paperback!

Rafe's Uncle Arlo was no good, nor were his son's. Rafe, 23, never knew his Mom, but his Dad was everything a Dad should be. As he was dying he told Rafe the truth and had proof. So, Rafe decided to infiltrate his Uncle's business and life to get more proof before he took it to the cops. But it didn't work out that way. Deacon, 35, was his bodyguard... or was he?
Then, three years later he's in witness protection, as Craig, teaching kids and safe. One cousin and Uncle Arlo were dead, and the other cousin locked up in a Psych ward for life. When his smooth life is turned upside-down, he's back in Deacon's care. They have still got their feelings for each other they had three years ago. They act on them. Hot sexiness is short lived when the evil, crazy cousin breaks out and comes for Rafe/Craig. His rampage is deadly. Deacon saves Rafe and decisions made.
RJ Scott's writing is meticulous and spell-binding ! "Unputdownable." So much is happening and we get the intense emotions, the thoughts of our men, their hopes and dreams.
Exciting. Romantic. Revealing.
Highly recommended. ENJOY !

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rare Threesome!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020

This review is not solely about Heroes Book 3, but also about its two predecessors. All three have fully f!eshed characters who eventually -- if not easily -- fall in love and commit themselves to one another. They are involved in individual, not repetitious and programmed challenges, and they are involved in defining a commitment to one another in which sex is involved but is not the end all and be all of the author's purpose. How refreshing to be involved with gay and perceptive and self-defining characters who are not constantly manipulated by their sexual desires and vocabulary. The word "cock", for example, is not the constant dictatorial force. I thank the author for mostly individual characterizations and generally well plotted novels. I wish there were another half dozen or so books in this series in which ghost characters from earlier novels have influential roles in new books which continue to explore character strengths and weaknesses in believable circumstances and are not continuous, repetitive experiences of deja vu sex scenes and trite echoes of sex language. BRAVO!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2017
This book has quite a few threads. It begins three years ago, with Deacon undercover and Rafe still reeling from losing his dad. Living with his mother's estranged family he meets Deacon. There's a lot more than meets the eye with Deacon's role as a low-level fixer/bodyguard for the Martinez family.

Fast forward three years and the fallout from their original meeting is still affecting them both.
There's quite a bit of story I missed by not reading the first two books. This can be read as a stand-alone, but I definitely feel as if I lost much of the back story.

The back and forth, then insta-love, with a flourish of drama kept me in the story. Unfortunately, the same threads that were all over the beginning of the book continue to dangle until the end. Many of them just thrown in, not so much discussed but commented on and moved forward.

Not a lot of heat, a small mystery but an overall sweet love story. The epilogue was a huge piece of happy.

I felt for Rafe but I also felt for Deacon. Both were trapped in a situation they could not get of. The bit with the psycho twin was kind of expected so I wasn't too surprised with that but I was ultimately happy with the whole book. I would suggest reading this in order though. As I did not and I felt a little lost at the mention of other characters. But because this book was good, I am definitely going to check out the other two in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Felt like the scope was too big for the size of the book
Reviewed in Canada on February 27, 2024

3/5 This ended up being my least favourite of the series; more than the others, it felt to me like the scope was just too big for the book. Although I liked both Deacon and Rafe, it really didn’t feel like there was enough time for a relationship to develop, and their interactions/history were so complicated, we needed way more time to see everything come together. Rafe needed access to therapy and lots of support to come to terms with everything that happened, and it just felt like things happened so very quickly without processing time. Rafe seemed frustratingly naive and unskilled when it came to his plan to expose his uncle. I did like how he settled into his new life and found something he loved doing. I thought Deacon’s struggle to do the right thing by both Rafe and his job was well portrayed. He was clearly fiercely protective and needed to learn to balance that with allowing people to make their own choices. I liked seeing Mac and Sam again.
