A serious accident leaves Logan with a new face and
identity, and the uncomfortable task of attending his own
funeral to please his intelligence service handler.
Meanwhile young Zak is convinced he's being followed and
attacked on the streets of London. He's in a rock band,
of Russian origin, and he whiles away his evening
cottaging (hooking up with other gay men in toilets),
drinking and taking drugs. It's time he turned his life
around
before it kills him.
In EVERY MOVE HE MAKES thousands of newly wealthy Russian
families have relocated to London for safety, and Zak's
father decides to hire a bodyguard. No sooner has Logan
been given the job, despite Zak's sneers and refusal to
take it seriously, than Zak's apartment is trashed and the
lad acquiesces to his minder's request to leave the city.
Zak may be immature but he co-operates, secretly thinking
his minder is handsome. The British intelligence agencies
would like to know more about Zak's father, and now Logan
is well placed to get some information. However Zak seems
determined to self-destruct and takes pills after vodka,
which does no good at all. Logan has his hands full with
this one.
I liked some aspects of EVERY MOVE HE MAKES but thought the
funeral
sequence was too drawn-out and simply unpleasant for a
family to go through without cause. I also thought that Zak
was stupider than his career success would indicate if he
kept buying unknown pills from people and taking them with
spirits. He's obsessed with his mother's death from a ski
accident and can't move on, when most lads his age are only
too glad to be independent and exploring life. The two
young men take refuge in an isolated area of Scotland where
Logan can control the situation, and with relaxation and
returning health comes attraction. This adult story
suffers, I thought, from Logan continually saying No, we
can't get physical again, instead of getting on with making
friends. We do get various security tips, such as not
buying train tickets with a credit card and how small a
tracer can be nowadays.
Overall EVERY MOVE HE MAKES by Barbara Elsborg will interest
those
who want to learn about close protection and fans of
thrillers, as well as the gay community. EVERY MOVE HE
MAKES is a long, absorbing read about two young men who
need each other in more ways than one.
Keeping an eye on his charge isn’t easy. Keeping his hands
off? Impossible…
It took attending his own funeral to force Logan to accept a
new life as an undercover MI6 agent. That doesn’t make his
latest assignment any less aggravating. Babysitting a
Russian pop star with delusions that someone’s trying to
kill him.
Other than an inexplicable attraction Logan ruthlessly
suppresses, he couldn’t have less in common with the
irritating, arrogant rich kid. He’s even prepared to walk
away—until very real bullets start flying.
After his mother’s death, Zak Kochenkov’s life unravels in
an impenetrable haze of grief, drugs and alcohol—until one
bodyguard candidate stands out. Except his hopes of having
some fun with that guard’s body evaporate when he realizes
Logan is buttoned up tighter than a clam
