I found myself screaming at Parker to stand up to that doofus, which only speaks to the presentation of Burn's story. As a former 'fat kid', I can so relate to Parker's being taken advantage of by his so-called best friend. Burn did a fantastic job letting the reader/listener feel the emotional turmoil that Ivan was experiencing based on the traumatic events that occurred prior to his meeting Parker. Despite some less than stellar reviews, I felt that the characters of Ivan and Parker were entirely relatable and realistic. Is this book as fantastic as the first book.not to me, but I really liked this book. When Ivan comes across clear evidence of Parker's criminal involvement, he has to choose: protect their relationship, regardless of the consequences, or save his career and arrest the man he loves.įinishing Cop Out, I went directly to Cover Up and I was not disappointed in the least. His affection is unprofessional, but Parker is irresistible. He finds it hard to believe that sweet Parker could possibly be a criminal, much less have ties to a Russian mafia drug-trafficking operation, and Ivan lets down his guard. Off-balance and without backup, Ivan finds himself playing a recent divorce and becoming Parker Wakefield's roommate. The timing is critical - this could be their chance to plug a leak in the department.

Though Ivan is under investigation for his part in the shooting, his boss sends him on an off-the-books undercover operation to close the case. Ivan had to kill a man, and his friend was shot and is now fighting for his life.

Not only is he recovering from a bad breakup with a cheating boyfriend, he's also involved in a drug bust gone bad. Detective Ivan Bekker has hit rock bottom.
