Vino & Veritas Book 4: Undercover by Eliot Grayson

Vino & Veritas Book 4

Gabe wants Alec between the sheets…too bad Alec’s undercover already…

Rich kid. Party boy. Gabe is tired of the labels. He’s a smart guy, but ever since he got kicked out of grad school, people are only interested in his no-limit credit card and his pierced ears…and other places.

Tall, dark and scowling Alec hates Vermont, with its artisanal-freaking-everything and its irritating people. To be fair, most people irritate Alec, including the FBI director who sent him here to investigate a smuggling scheme involving yoga mats.

When one of the cutest twinks Alec’s ever seen takes an interest, Alec knows there’s an ulterior motive. No one with multi-colored hair, piercings, and an ass like that would want boring, serious Alec. The kid must be up to no good. Either way, Alec can’t blow his cover. If only he could keep his hands off of Gabe long enough to find out what he’s up to…

Can they ignore their explosive chemistry long enough to foil a smuggling ring? Or will their budding relationship sink faster than a yacht full of contraband?

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

Alec has one job. Find the drug dealers. Easy enough since he is an FBI Agent undercover in Burlington. But things get complicated when he meets Gabe. Sweet Gabe who always finds himself staring at Alec when they are in the bookstore that is part of Vino and Veritas. And when Gabe tries to be a little flirty and does something nice for Alec, Alec finds himself in a situation that may be the key to finding the drug dealer he was looking for. Alec's paranoia that Gabe may be a suspect leads him to reaching out and flirting back. But soon Alec determines that Gabe is likely not involved with his investigation...but his family is. Now he is caught between a rock and a hard place. He finds himself actually like Gabe and wants to date him for real but he has to use Gabe at the same time to find a lead. Meanwhile Gabe never knows if people want to get to know him for real or if it is because he has money. And when he meets Alec he finds that maybe he can finally be himself and Alec is different. The whole time I was reading this book I was like oh my goodness this isn't gonna end well. Alec needs to tell him the truth and oh no what if he does and Gabe hates him for it!! It was a ticking time bomb but you can't help but fall in love with Gabe and Alec. Such opposites but both bring out a side to one another that is just so great. I couldn't put the story down. I wanted to know if Alec could find out a way to tell Gabe how he feels and let him know he never wanted to use and hurt him. And I wanted Gabe to be happy and trust that someone cares for him and not his background. Loved this story! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
