It doesn't get more complicated than a senior FBI agent falling for the son of a notorious Irish gangster.

That’s exactly what Special Agent Atlas Beesley has done. He’s lived in the friend zone for years and let his career get in the way but Atlas knows Declan’s the one the moment they meet. Unfortunately, Atlas has been charged with monitoring Lake Cliff’s more…interesting residents. Atlas has been ordered to keep a distance and have a light touch but all he can think about is getting his hands on Declan.

He was going to be a priest but Declan Leary realized he couldn’t atone for his father’s and brother’s sins. And he wasn’t all that pious, if he was being honest. Shy and too sensitive, he could never be his father’s son. And Declan wanted nothing to do with his brother, but he has never been able to shake the shame until he arrived in Lake Cliff. He’s ready to start over but is Declan brave enough to confess to having feelings for the agent investigating his family?

A sweet love story. Filled with warmth, anxiety, and mishaps. Declan finally gets his happily ever after in Atlas. If the boys don't get in the way.

The slow burn of the heat coming from the smoldering vibe between Atlas and Declan was sure to lead a blaze that could only by described by K. Sterling's word wizardry...throw in the some of the usual dark activities by Lake Cliff's resident dark avenger and once again this is another "can't put down" read by K. Sterling.

I received an advance copy for review.

And boy, all of The Boys of Lake Cliff sure were “helping” Atlas and Declan. 😆
It was also nice (bittersweet) to have a scene with Aiden and Keira. 🥹

Atlas and Declan were too cute. They need to work on their communication skills. Despite that, they seem perfect for each other. And poor Declan, if anyone deserved a HEA, it was him. It's good to see the Lake Cliff family growing.

More fun and a bit of frolic with those Lake Cliff guys!

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2022

Slow and Steady is the second of a two book arc (I think is the right term) in the ridiculously addictive series referred to as The Boys of Lake Cliff. The boys being a group of one-of-a-kind dudes who are brought together in a variety of ways. An assassin, a sheriff, an autistic genius and his serial killer sister, an artist, and a voyeuristic tech genius who also happens to be an English Lord. There are quite a few more characters and the series periodically brings in someone new to join the group in Lake Cliff, Illinois.

It’s the story of a slow burn romance between Atlas, an FBI agent who is conflicted in his association with certain members of the Lake Cliff guys, and Declan, the son of a sadistic mobster who feels SO guilty about the deeds of his father and brother that he is about to enter the priesthood. Oh Declan you sweet summer child.

A lot of books in the series have some serious nail-biting-edge-of-your-seat moments. Actually most of them do so it is nice to have a story that is fairly low-angst and still delivers Sterling’s trademark rock solid HEA end. Declan’s character exudes integrity and is pretty much Hallmark Channel-ish sweet. But even with his adolescent-like giddiness over the thought of dating someone like Atlas, his character is believable. We all have known someone like Declan so it is easy to let his story touch our hearts. Oh, and I suppose I should clarify...ain't never nuthin even close to Hallmark Channel in any of Sterling's brilliantly written stories for grownups.

One thing I must mention…and yes I did indeed twirl a tiny bit just now, is I am pretty sure that my favorite character, Aiden, and his sister are going to get up to some mischief soon. I. Can’t. Wait. Oh my, it would be like The Hardy Boys meet Dexter. Yes, please.

Wow! If a story can be both violent and incredibly sweet at the same time this is the one. Atlas,the FBI agent assigned to Lake Cliff in an attempt to control and direct the bunch that lives there seems up to the challenge. What he wasn't expecting was Declan, a new arrival to Lake Cliff and his source of instant heat! A visit with the Lake Cliff bunch is always fun and like a visit with people you know and have missed. You will also get to meet the most adorable worm ever!!
