REVIEW: Single Malt by Layla Reyne
Agents Irish and Whiskey: Single Malt – Layla Reyne
The heartโs a resilient beast
Eight months after the car crash that changed everything, FBI agent Aidan Talley is back at work. New department, new case and a new partner. Smart, athletic and handsome, Jameson Walker is twelve years his junior. Even if Aidan was ready to move onโand he’s notโJamie is off-limits.
Jamie’s lusted after Aidan for three years, and the chance to work with San Francisco’s top agent directly is too good to pass up. Aidan is pricklyโto put it mildlyโbut a growing cyber threat soon proves Jamie’s skills invaluable.
Jamie’s talents paint a target on his back, and Aidan is determined to protect him. But with hack after hack threatening a high-security biocontainment facility, time is running out to thwart a deadly terrorist attack. They’ll have to filter out distractions, on the case and in their partnership, to identify the real enemy, solve the case and save thousands of lives, including their own.
God, I was bored. I found myself tuning out majority of the time because it was so dull. If this was an ebook, I wouldnโt be able to finish this. But I had the audiobook and I enjoyed Aidanโs Irish brogue and Jamieโs southern drawl enough to go through the whole thing but it mostly felt like a chore. Both agents were likeable but I couldnโt care less about the the mystery, the romance and the characters. A lot of people seem to love this. Iโm beginning to think contemporary books and me just donโt click. I should stick with the historical, paranormal or magical.

Entrance – Hayashi Rice
At the entrance where he told me goodbye, I still wait where he left me behind.
Itโs that one-door-closes-another-one-opens kind of thing.

Whyborne & Griffin: Eidolon – Jordan L. Hawk
Griffin Flaherty wants nothing more than to create a perfect Valentineโs Day for his lover, Dr. Percival Endicott Whyborne. Dinner at a fancy restaurant, an evening at the theater, and a romantic interlude at home should do the trick.
But a new client with an urgent case puts Griffinโs plans in jeopardy. A magic talisman has been stolen, and if it isnโt returned by sundown, it may unleash disaster not only on the thief but the innocents around him.
Can Whyborne and Griffin track down the thief and return the amulet by nightfall, or will dinner reservations become the least of their worries?
I had to google the title. According to Wiki;ย
In ancient Greek literature, an eidolon (plural: eidola or eidolons) is a spirit-image of a living or dead person; a shade or phantom look-alike of the human form.ย
I love how Widdershins is full of creepy, old rich families. I love how this short story had all the usual W&G fare we love in condensed form. Most of all, I am ecstatic that this is from Griffinโs point of view and we can see how deeply he loves his Ival.

Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone – and finding that that’s ok with them.

Thanks to his easygoing personality, he becomes the only person who’s ever tried to understand Kawashima. These two will have a huge impact on each other’s lives.

Nape fetish story was stupid. Main story was really sweet. Iโm glad they found each other again.
