Love's Last Chance

This book, oh, God, this book...This book is the beginning of a love with the ending being a promise. It has taken me so long to find a gay romance that I'd almost given up...Then I found Krandall Kraus's beautiful novel.This novel shines so brightly that I didn't need my nightlight at night, it glowed from its place on my bedside table. I cried when it started, and I cried when it ended. Kraus reminds me of Peter McGehee. McGehee didn't write mysteries but absolutely beautiful novels. But Kraus...he pulled something off that isn't easily...pulled off...This is to write a gay mystery without the content being trashy. This book is so far away from "trashy" that you can't even see it from here. Nickey's and Nigel's love transcends boundries of sexuality...If you've ever been in love, you will know that special language with which this book is talking to your heart.

This is a lovely blend of mystery and romance. Nigel and Nickyare two of the most colourful and interesting characters I haveencountered in gay mysteries. Witty, humourous, sexy and loving they are a joy to read. The mystery itself is fast paced and exciting enough to keep the reader guessing. Coupled with the intense relationship development between Nigel and Nicky this romantic mystery is definitely a class by itself. Hope that Mr Kraus will deliver another story on these two adoring characters.

Ok..lately I haven't found a great Gay mystery. So, I read some of the reviews and picked Love's Last Chance and boy I was I in for a treat. I just ordered some more of his books. Great story, well written...wow..

An excellent blend of romance, mystery with a touch of the mystical.I loved this book, and read it in one sitting. Nigel and Nicky are two wonderful characters whom you can't help but love. Nonna was also a very entertaining character, and look forward to seeing them all again in another novel. You can clearly see the differences in these two men, but at the same time, see how well they compliment each other. The mystery of the death of Evelyn VanDeventer Iversen is a wonderful mix with the story of Nigel and Nicky's relatiosnhip.

When Nigel, deep in self-doubt and despairing over the death of his partner, goes to Tuscany he little expects to find a stranger in the shower a few days after he arrives. And from there it is a short step into a glittering world of privilege and money in Italy, and then again in the Bay Area. And Nicky, now fresh from the shower, is astonishingly patient while gently helping Nigel get on with life. The murder seems incidental--the growing relationship is the thing set against the crime which means that the heroes must fly around the West to solve the puzzle. Ah well, with that kind of money, who needs an advance purchase ticket? They and their friends are a lively community but it is the Nicky and Nigel that are the centrifugal force that keeps it all balanced beautifully. I hope they will be soon off on another adventure. Who could resist their company and generous friendship? Not me!
