![Clean Up on Aisle Mine (A Spy Like Me Book 1) by [Patricia Logan, AJ Corza, Liz Bichmann]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51IjLXalv4L.jpg)
So many sweet feels! The story was slow to start with a couple chapters filled with descriptions of scenery and quite a few things that didn't enhance the setting or push the story forward, but once it gained traction both Jude and Damon captured my attention and held it. Both men needed someone to see to their tender soft parts and the good men they were inside and fortunately they were in the perfect situation to give one another time to do just that. There's a bit of mystery that surprised us near the end giving a hint of what we'll find out as the series continues and since we're following Jude and Damon on their adventures I'm so very in for more.
I'll admit that I was wary at the outset that I'd have a tough time getting through all. The. Words. The pace picked up quickly once Damon made contact with Jude though and I was continually impressed by Damon's sincerity and understanding as well as Jude's thoughtful capitulation and maturity when reality and possible consequences were laid out clearly for him. They worked so well together in so many ways that when physical intimacy became part of their story it was so organic and right for both of them. They'd built a foundation of trust, respect, and affection which allowed Jude to be confident that Damon was his choice as well as in other life choices and for Damon to open up and share his grief and his heart with Jude.
With very little angst other than Damon coming to terms with his past and the slightly confusing mystery that causes more than a few problems, this was an enjoyable read with two men that I don't want to leave just yet. I'm eager for more from them and hope their story continues in the same lighthearted and intriguing way. Aside from the title that doesn't really seem to fit the story, I'm all in for the series.

Former CIA operative, Damon Thorne, is a fixer. He cleans up messes other people make of their lives to forget the wreckage his own has become. Whether it means retrieving a drug addict whose family is being blackmailed or rescuing a furball who’s the subject of a custody dispute, Damon just gets things done.
When the job means kidnapping the wild son of a prominent Senator in an election year, it should come with hazard pay.
From the day Jude Chenoweth was born into wealth and position, his father has groomed him to follow in his footsteps. Jude has other plans. Openly gay and infamous, all he wants to do is live his life, create his art, and never settle down.
Life has a way of kicking butts, even the sexy ones. Thrown together in a situation neither wanted, Damon and Jude must now decide how to move forward. Jude knows something is wrong when he gazes into Damon’s haunted brown eyes and Damon recognizes there’s much more to Jude than the caricature he shows the world.
This might be the beginning of a journey… or an incredibly stupid mistake. Perhaps working together will help them process their own demons. Whatever happens, neither of them believes Damon’s assignments will always come with a heaping helping of bad guys.
Not always… right?
