Rory MacLellan, AKA the Highlander, may be the most successful interstellar art thief in the Known Worlds, but he still has a conscience. When he runs into a suicidal museum worker during his latest heist, he has no choice but to stun the man and rescue him from certain death.Dr. Dmitri Grigoryev was an up-and-coming exoarchaeologist until a disastrous dig left his career in tatters. Hungry, broke, and desperate, the last thing he expected was a dashing thief to come along and save his life.Thrown together by accident and with interstellar police on their tail, Rory and Dmitri reluctantly join forces for a major heist. But will their simmering attraction get in the way, or prove that they were meant to be together?

Reading “Two To Tango” was the most pleasant surprise I’ve had a ages.Β  I’ve read a few stories from Nicola Cameron, so I expected to like this one, butΒ I was completely unprepared by how much I FREAKING LOVED it!!

I don’t want to go into too much detail here.Β  The basic premise is that Rory is a very successful art thief.Β  He’s been everywhere, seen everything,Β and stolen quite a bit of it.Β  He’s entered a museum to steal a huge precious stone, and he’s got to do it quickly.Β  The museum runs a securityΒ procedure like no other.Β  At a certain time, all of the doors and windows seal, and a poisonous gas is pumped in ready to kill any would be thieves.

However, he notices a person sitting in an office.Β  Dmitri is a disgraced scientist whose career is over, and he’s lost his job at the museum.Β  So, heΒ decides to commit suicide by sitting through the gassing of the museum.Β  Well, Rory may be a thief, but he’s also a nice guy, and he decides to save theΒ scientist and bring him on board his ship.

Everything really takes off from there.Β  Dmitri thinks he has been kidnapped, and he’s not really happy to be out in space with the man he thinks tookΒ him.Β  Slowly, they get to know each other, and then they fall in love.Β  It’s a beautiful thing to watch.Β  Rory doesn’t want to scare or push Dmitri, butΒ Dmitri comes around soon enough.Β  Their union is…and I don’t want to seem like I’m overly gushing or anything, but…it’s magicical.Β  Their sex isΒ amazing, but the obvious love they feel for one another makes it even better.

Of course, nothing goes smoothly.Β  Our men have to go through some tribulations before they can have their happily ever after.Β  There is some angst, butΒ not too much.Β  It moves the story along, but doesn’t make you want to crawl into a dark closet and cry.Β  THere are people who don’t want them to beΒ together, and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to separate them.Β  There is a lot of intrigue and a bit of violence, but it’s all spaced between aΒ lot of humor.Β  I laughed a lot reading “Two To Tango”.Β  Rory is charming, the ship’s engineer, and alien who looks rather like a shrub with tentacles isΒ hilarious with the Scottish accent that Rory gave him through the translator, and Molly…oh Molly.Β  She’s the ship’s AI, and she’s almost more humanΒ than humans.

All of this together makes the perfect read.Β  I had an absolute blast reading it.Β  I sat up until 4:30 am because I didn’t want to put it down.Β  I wasΒ exhausted the next day, but it was so worth it.Β  I recommend this book to anyone who is into MM romance and sci fi adventures.Β  It’s smart.Β  It’sΒ unique, and it’s a fantastic way to spend your day.
