Blue Eyed Angel by B.J. Powers

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Sitting down to write this review, I decided to first doing a bit of research on the author, to know who he is and what is his background. Is this his first book? maybe his first experience in a medium long story? Why have I these doubts? since the story has potential, but it always rushes on the events, everytime a new element is introduced in the story, soon after the relative secret is unveiled not letting to the reader the time to absorb it and make his own idea.

Baxter is a convicted murderer. He supposedly killed his male lover and the girlfriend of him; his lawyer managed to convince the court that he is insane and so Baxter is not in prison but in State Hospital, but it's not so better and and it's neither a good thing: Baxter's lover was the son of a mafia's boss, and Baxter ended in an hospital only to be more accessible to the mafia's vengeance. Baxter is only expecting the day when the long hand of the criminal will arrive to him.

And then in the hell arrives an angel, Rory, the new psychiatric. From the first encounter, both Rory than Baxter know that something special is happening between them and Rory, all of his own, is bend on proving Baxter's innocence. He hires a private investigator that in one day (one day?) finds out the real murderer, another mafia boss. Then, all of his own, Rory approaches the real killer, Toni, and with a very fast seduction scene, manages to have him to confess his crime in only one night (one night?). From that moment on all rushes toward the end of the story, with Rory that is now a lonely avenger.

In his pursue for justice, the strange thing is that Rory and Baxter almost don't have a relationship apart the first two meetings, the first being also the first time they met. In his role of Mata Hari, Rory has to have intimate encounters with a man he despises, but he shuts the eyes and thinks to Baxter. It's strange, both Rory than Baxter aren't young men approaching the dark side of sex, they are in mid thirty, but from many hints in the story, we realize that, even if they claims to be gay, they are not familiar with the most intimate aspect of gay sex, almost as, when they were in love in the past, they faced love like teenagers, a lot of kisses, maybe an hand job, and if they dare a blow job, but no more than that.
