Bio:
Susan Mac Nicol was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, in the
United Kingdom. At the age of eight, her family moved to Johannesburg, South
Africa where she stayed for nearly thirty years before arriving back in the UK
in December 2000. Currently, She lives in the rural village of Bocking, in
Essex, with her family.
Sue is a PAN (Published Author’s Network) member of
Romance Writers of America and a member of the Romantic Novelists Association
in the UK. Also, she is a member of a rather unique writing group, called the
Talliston Writer’s Circle, which in itself has a story all of its own to tell.
She has written nine novels, two novellas and a screenplay since February 2012
and clearly believes in keeping herself busy. She has found herself wanting to
stay in the sub-genre that is M/M Romance so more can definitely be expected.
Her plan is to keep writing as long as her muse sits
upon her shoulder. Her dream is to make enough money to give up the day job and
get that big old house in the English countryside overlooking a river, where
she can write all day and continue to indulge her passion for telling stories.

FROM DARKNESS AND LIGHT
Someone is leaving a trail of bodies throughout
London, and Detective Anthony Parglietto is determined to end the
violence. Then he’ll return to the man he loves.
Tough, street-savvy, and used to dealing with
lowlifes, Flynn Parker is the last person Anthony thinks he has to
protect. Then the Bow-Tie Killer strikes close to home and the world
turns upside down. Right is wrong, black is white, and a policeman might
become a monster. But in the name of love, justice must be served. In
the name of love, pain can be endured. In the name of love, a man can
taste the very essence that defines him.
Excerpt:
Anthony walked down the hall. He reached the bedroom and gently
pushed the door open. He saw Flynn framed in the light of the lamp shining from
the lounge. He lay, apparently asleep, on the leather and wood divan Anthony
had brought over from Italy. Its dark burgundy colour contrasted with what
Flynn wore, which was nothing but a black thong lying stark against his pale
skin. The divan was under the window. The bed covers were rumpled, as if Flynn
had been sleeping. His robe was draped across the foot of the bed. Anthony
moved towards the gleaming body of his supine lover.
Flynn’s face was turned away towards the back of the sofa. His
dark hair was tousled and his arms stretched above his head to the right. He
wore a blindfold. Anthony felt a stir in his groin seeing those lean, hairy
legs stretched out wantonly, inviting him to run his hands up and over his
groin. Even appearing asleep, Flynn had the power to excite him, to make
Anthony hard and ready. He stepped towards him, watching the rise and fall of Flynn’s
chest with their already hardened nubs. Anthony wanted to run his tongue over
that chest, with its smattering of fine hair, to take Flynn’s nipples in his
mouth and suck them until Flynn groaned in pleasure. As he got closer in the
dim light he saw the hands with their bonds of silk. Green bonds lay dark
against Flynn’s wrists, fastened to the wooden struts of the upright chair arm.
His hands were tight fists. Anthony chuckled softly, a noise that sounded loud
in the stillness of the room.
“Been waiting long?’ he whispered as he took off his jacket. ‘I
tried to get home as soon as I could.”
Anthony
knew the bonds would be loose so Flynn could break free if needed but he also
knew he wouldn’t. It was the way the game was played.

Manic Monday Review
Now that’s how
you get the reader’s attention, lol. Right off the bat the author throws you
into the action.
Flynn, a
reporter, makes a very unwise statement to the press. He tells the serial
killer, named the Bow Tie Killer (BTK), he wants to tell his story. Well, get certainly
gets the killer’s attention. BTK abducts Flynn. The killer doesn’t physically hurt
Flynn, but he scares the crap out of him, that’s for sure. Seriously, that part
will make you hair stand on end. Well, after having a little talk with Flynn, the
killer lets Flynn go. Then the scary stuff starts: BTK starts sending messages
to Flynn about himself and tells Flynn he can’t tell his lover.
Want to guess
who the lover is, lol?
Detective Anthony
Parglietto is in charge of the case. And yup, you got it! He’s Flynn’s lover. Once
BTK abducts Flynn, Anthony is a man possessed. He’s determined to bring the
killer justice. Problem is, Anthony’s idea of justice doesn’t necessarily fit
with the law… and his fellow cops.
This is one of
the best books I’ve read in a while. The pacing is excellent. It’s suspenseful
and keeps you turning the pages wanting to know more. While the story revolves
around a killer and finding him, the relationship between Flynn and Anthony is just
as important. It plays an important part in the story. So, we get an excellent
murder mystery and a love story. It’s worth the money. J
