REVIEW
PAUL D’MARCO is a short but sweet mystery by Leiland Dale.  I enjoyed the development of the main characters as well as those of the secondary players.  All were believable and easy to fall for.  Paul and Matt didn’t fall into bed at first meeting as happens in so many M/M books I’ve read, but developed a growing passion, rather than romance.  After the mating occurs we see that the relationship will go on and be a lasting bond for both of the characters.
The only minor issue I had with the book was that the mystery part, which was really the main thing that brought them together wasn’t developed as fully as I had hoped.  This was the author’s first novel though and for that fact it was an excellent first effort by someone who has grown into an excellent author.
