Full Nelson Book One
Detective Chris Nelson and his husband Ethan are about to go on a weekend getaway to celebrate their third wedding anniversary. Instead, a case comes in for Chris. The brutally murdered body of a swim coach at the local military academy was found in the pool. Seventeen-year-old cadet Alex has already confessed. It looks like an open and shut case.
However, when Chris interviews Alex and reviews the forensics, he becomes convinced Alex is innocent. Searching for the truth behind the actual murderer and why Alex would take the fall, Chris follows a trail through a series of students. He discovers they all experienced sexual abuse at the hands of the murdered swim coach. Digging deep, Chris finds further links between the school administration and the district attorney's office covering up the allegations. When he finally solves the case, it will blow the conspiracy wide open.

Secrets (Full Nelson, #1)By Jeff Erno
Four stars
Detective Chris Nelson just wants to have a romantic weekend with his husband, Ethan. But his boss hands him a case that he knows he won’t be able to resist.
A high school senior at a military academy has confessed to killing his swim coach. The boy claims that the coach was his lover. Chris’s boss doesn’t believe the confession.
It’s a good thing Ethan is used to Chris’s obsessive work habits.
What a nice world in which an out gay cop can get the support he needs at his job and at home. What a sad world in which adolescent boys are abused by the very people who are supposed to mentor and protect them.
Jeff Erno’s “Secrets” is the first of what I hope will be a good long series of mysteries. The straightforward writing, compelling plot and likeable characters come together to make a quick, interesting read. The storyline is disturbing, particularly for a gay man with two kids (that would be me). But it is the counterpoint between Chris and Ethan’s life and the ugliness in which the students are caught up that gives the book its punch. This is a cop story for a changing world. It is not bleak; it is hopeful.
I wanted to get a better sense of Chris and Ethan, oddly enough. Their dynamic as a couple is very nicely portrayed, but I didn’t get a sense of what they look like or how they compare with each other. It’s odd, especially since the physical characteristics of the students is an important ongoing thread.
And, just to be annoying, I have to say that here is one of those contemporary m/m books in which the sex scenes are really not necessary. It’s not that I don’t want the characters to have a good sex life; it’s that I don’t need it described in detail (although Erno does a good job of it). Knowing that they are a successful couple and that they love each other is, really, enough for me. This is a book in which appropriate, loving gay sexual activity is contrasted to inappropriate, criminal sexual abuse. Erno gives us the emotions; we don’t need diagrams.
Can’t wait to see what Chris Nelson gets up to next.

Secrets Full Nelson Book 1 edition by Jeff Erno Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I finished this book this morning. It was a short read but it interested me enough that I went looking to see if there was or would be a sequel. I'm happy to say that the answer is yes. Glitter is on its way.
The premise is promising. The swim coach at a boys' academy is murdered and someone has confessed to the crime. Enter detective, Chris. Chris is openly gay and is living very happily with his husband, Ethan. Chris doesn't want the job, he wants to spend a romantic weekend with Ethan. Of course, this is not what happens.
The confession does not ring true and Ethan investigates even though Alex is not going to help. There's a lot more to this murder.
I felt when reading the story that both Chris and Ethan were younger than they should have been. They are a devoted couple and they have a love of living which makes them nice to read about.
What I want to see in the next book is character development. This is one of the main reasons that I read series. I like watching the characters grow.
This story is a good one and I'm hoping that Glitter will prove to be a good sequel which will add to my understanding of Chris and Ethan.
Recommended.
this book had a good story line. Good gay sex, suspense,and romance.I would recommend it as a good read and will be looking for more books from this author.
This story is an all too common occurrence abuse , coverup and disbelief. It traces the damage abuse can cause . All this while developing a gay married couple as the main characters
I enjoy reading this authors work. This was a good book and great start to what looks to be a good series. It can also be read in one sitting which works out great on a rainy day or quit night. Well done Jeff Erno.
A new series by Jeff Erno. I've enjoyed reading Jeff's work for sometime and his latest book "Secrets" is the first book in what promises to be a series of mysteries. The book was a fast read and it seemed like it had just begun and it was finished. Actually several hours had past and I had to finish reading before calling it a day.
I've always recommended Jeff's books and do so once again.
"Secrets" is hardly an overstatement as a title for this romp. Detective Chris Nelson and his husband Ethan seem like such an oddly matched couple that it hardly seems to matter that Chris is the dominant force, not only in the relationship but also in the book's narrative. Then all hell breaks loose and you see that this is not only a match made in heaven, but that sometimes partners don't realize how deeply they love each other until threatened with the loss of one or the other.
The plot here, ostensibly about the criminal abuse of young, blue eyed, blond cadets at a military academy by an unscrupulous lone wolf swimming coach, actually only begins with his murder and the solving of the crime. That will keep you turning the pages until all of a sudden you see that there's at least 25% of the book left.
What the heck else can happen?
Oh, you'd be surprised. One of the best all-around, deeply moving and straight-out "this is the way it's going to be" books from Jeff Erno, this one had me abandoning all others I was reading until I finished it. Chances are the same thing will happen to you. Go for it.
