The constant back and forth with Jason is getting a bit tedious and exhausting, almost like watching a tennis match. While we got to know Sam a bit more and understand his reasons for pulling back from Jason, I still don't feel like that was enough. Feeling Jason was back to being a bit of doormat who constantly being kicked around by Sam and that's not a feeling I particularly enjoy. Relationship-wise I feel like we just started over, like the first book never happened.

Lo and behold, it's now 8 months later and he's back to square one. In the last book, I never really warmed to Sam, but I did have some hope by the end of it that he had and would continue to change going forward. That all changes when a German national ends up murdered and Sam calls in Jason for help as a painting resembling Monets works has been found on the scene.

Life and cases has kept them in different parts of the country.

It's been eight months since we said goodbye to Jason and Sam and their tentative beginning of something more.
