Review - The Jeweled Egg by L.M. Somerton

Antiques dealer Landry and his boyfriend police detective Gage are settled into domestic bliss, with a kinky sex life to keep things interesting. When Gage is sent to England for a police exchange, and can take Landry with him, it seems like an opportunity that’s too good to be true. Just before they leave, Landry receives a package from James Ellery. It’s clear that the bad-boy treasure hunter is sucking the pair into another dangerous mystery, but will Landry’s luck hold out this time?

This fourth mystery in the Treasure Trove series is a pleasant surprise. It brings back the irrepressible submissive brat Landry and his very put-upon Dom Gage. The pair’s frenemy James Ellery returns as well to enlist their help in finding a lost treasure before a ruthless mobster gets to it.

The verbal sparing between Gage and Landry is often laugh-out-loud funny. The sex scenes between the two are also very hot. Landry has a personality that allows him to make friends easily, as well as lure them into doing things they probably shouldn’t. It’s all part of his charm, and probably what keeps Gage from strangling him.

We get to know Ellery and his sub Tad a lot more in this book. Submissives in this author’s work tend to be cut from very similar cloth. Like most of them, Tad is devoted to his Dom, although unlike Landry, Tad tends to do what his Dom tells him to do.
