Synopsis:


When a serial killer that Ontario Police Detective Tao Drakes is suppose to nab flees Canada, Tao is fresh on his tail. The last thing he wants is to fall in love. But when he sees his host, Detective Kenneth Davis, all logical thoughts leave Tao's mind.

Homosexuality on the island is a major taboo that is not taken lightly. Now, Tao must protect Kenneth's secret, catch a killer who is becoming more brazen by the minute and protect his own heart.
 

SRR GRADE:  A-
 

Toronto Detective Tao Drakes needed to find the "Joker", the prime suspect in a round of serial murder cases that stated off with young, beautiful women as the victims but now the focus is gay men. With a tip that takes him to sunny Jamaica, Tao meets local Officer Ken Davis. More than the heat rises as these two encounter one of the Island's biggest taboos - homosexuality. The "Joker" is close the either man is comfortable with him being. Will their blooming attraction and love be enough to overcome the past hurts and prejudices?

Mr. Duchene's vividly detailed novel made me feel not only the warmth of the Caribbean but also the heavy attraction between Tao and Ken. I felt that Tao was a Knight in Shining Armor. He stood up to the stereotypes even when the people dishing out the foulness mattered to him. Ken seemed to be waiting to be rescued by a Knight, I loved reading as their love story unfolded in the heat of the moment. And there were a lot of heated moments in this novel, If you are just starting to read m/m romances or if you are a veteran, Caribbean Heat will warm more places than your heart.
