Brandon King is a detective for the LAPD. He is involved with another detective, a relationship which is pretty much one sided and could be considered abusive. Brandon is shocked to learn from another detective that his lover is transferring and did not tell him. Devastated, he knows he would do anything to keep him, even taking The Collector up on a search for The Lost Temple of Karttikeya. His research for the location leads him to Christian Carter, an archaeologist of some fame. Christian realizes that Brandon is just the man for him but Brandon is still caught up in his own issues. However, with traveling together and spending time together, Brandon begins to realize that what he could have with Christian is the real thing. Their trip is far from over and that new relationship will be tested to the extreme, a test they must pass if they are to succeed and return with their lives.

The chemistry between Christian and Brandon was phenomenal. Christian was confident and sure of himself while Brandon’s past made him feel unworthy of love. Complimenting each other perfectly, their encounters were so passionate and hot that the pages smoked. At the same time, those scenes were so tender and loving that your heart was touched. Action combined with scorching passion makes The Lost Temple of Karttikeya an excellent conclusion to The Collector Series.

Kudos to Loose-Id and to all the authors involved in this excellent series. Revealing the Collector’s past gradually kept the reader highly interested. The fun, passion and action were icing on the cake. We can hope for more of this quality story telling.
