Product Description
For four years Rafferty Jones and Nick Tucker have worked side by side as police detectives in their small Maine town. But lately, Rafferty's imagination has been creating fantasies about Nick more specifically, about Nick and him together that have shocked Rafferty. Detailed erotic scenarios a thirty something, set in his ways straight man shouldn't be imagining. He's been struggling to keep them secret, afraid that if Nick discovers the truth it will end their friendship. But with each passing day it's getting harder and harder to pretend Nick is "just" a friend. And harder and harder for Rafferty to come to terms with the possibility he might not be as straight as he's always believed. Nick's always known he's gay and he's had deep feelings for Rafferty for years. But after a difficult experience at his former police precinct in Boston, he decided when he moved to Maine to keep his sexual orientation under wraps on the job. He wants to be acknowledged at work for what he can do, not who he's doing. And with Rafferty being straight, there's always been a clear cut line that Nick's known he can't cross with his unsuspecting partner and best friend. And yet for the past few months it's become difficult to remember that line. He's not sure why, he just knows that for the first time in four years his heart and his body are urging him to go for what he really wants Rafferty. When a stormy weekend trip on Rafferty's boat gives birth to an unexpected night of passion, will it be the spark they need to forge a new and deeper relationship? Or will Nick's past and Rafferty's fear drive a wedge between them that will destroy not only their barely-begun love affair, but their partnership and friendship as well? Genres: Gay / Contemporary

 Disappointing March 24, 2010

I'm a great fan of gay romantic fiction. I'd say that I've read well over 100 such books.
I'm going to keep this short and sweet. This was perhaps the worst book I've read in many years. There was virtually no plot development, no character development, no suspense... nothing. After reading less than 1/4 of the book I knew how it was going to end. Way too much time was spent describing the couple of sexual encounters the characters had (and, in spite of the length of the description, it was not at all done well.) Even the ending was just too sudden. I wound up not caring about the characters or about how the story ended.
Again... VERY disappointing read.
 Could have been better May 10, 2009

It was OK but didn't have time to develop. M.L. Rhodes has with other books and could have done more with this story line.
Steamy, hot, great beach or lazy day read March 26, 2009

Well written story about two cops. Gets really good and steamy once these two get a clue and fall for each other. Keeps a good pace going. You won't get bored with this one!
 Well written! Kept me interested all the way through. February 8, 2009

I thoroughly enjoyed "Out of My Mind". The characters are likable and the plot moves along in a realistic way.
After I finished this book, I immediately read M. L. Rhodes' "The Professor's Secret Passion" and found the plots to be quite similar: two men admitting their repressed attraction to each other and having their first sex together; then the older partner freaks out and stops communicating with the younger completely, until he realizes his love for the younger guy is more important than any of the fears that were freaking him out.
M. L. Rhodes does a far superior job in portraying the younger partner's angst at being abandoned in her descriptions of what Nick was going through in "Out of My Mind". If you're trying to chose between the two, I'd recommend "Out of My Mind" over "The Professor's Secret Passion."

Rafferty and Nick are partners. Work partners. Both detective for police in Maine since 4 years. And Rafferty is married; or unless he was married since two months before. He has found his wife in bed with another man and immediately files the divorce. Strange he is not mourning too much over it. It's long that he has stopped to love and desire his wife. And instead he has begun to deside his partner... How could it be possible? He is straight! And so is Nick! Or not? One faithful night abroad with his small boat they remain trapped in a rainstorm and in the little cabin the passion flares. But the morning after Raff is full of fear and doubts, and Nick, who is really gay and with a bad experience behind, doesn't know how to reassure his friend, now lover.
This is a medium long ebook, 100 pages, and it goes smoothly and fast. Raff and Nick are both positive characters, maybe a little too positive. Raff is a good cop, very friendly and calm; he considers himself boring and not attractive. Instead Nick, younger than 6 years, is the classical good and handsome guy, the type every woman wants, and apparently also some man... But Raff, 35 years older, when deals with feeling is like a teenager with his first crush. He wants and then he has fear, he reaches forward and then backs away... And Nick is so comprehensive. Well maybe I'd like a bit more of angry.
