OH GOD, She has done it Tinnean, you genius. I actually loved this book more than the other two. OH MY FUCKIN GOD.
As people can see from my other reviews, I am a huge fan of Tinnean's series. The third book might actually be my favourite. I really don't know though because this entire series is amazing and I find it hard to pin point my favourite book. If I could take all the books and combine them it would make me so happy because I wouldn't have to chose.

Loved, loved, loved this series! I'm not sure if the author is going to continue with it, but I hope so. There's so many more questions I want answered! (like what happens when their respective agencies found out about their relationship?) And of course, I want more Quinn & Mark!! They are officially one of my top 10 favorite couples now. More...

I NEED more Mark & Quinn!!
Please? This was definitely my favorite of the series so far. Like a said before, these guys just do it for me...sexy alphas all wrapped up in jealousy and hotness! This one was just so much better written; even though I gave the previous books both 5 stars, they were flawed. This one didn't have all the crazy POV changes and the repetitiveness that I was used to, so the flow was much smoother.
I loved, loved every moment of this book. They've gone through so much in More...

I'm finding this difficult to review. I actually enjoyed the characters, the two MCs and the secondary characters, but quite a lot of the plot I found confusing, parts were extremely rushed other sections were irrelevant. One particular chapter, the family New Year Get-Together with Uncles, Mother and the MCs left me extremely confused even after re-reading the whole section.
Many loose ends were not dealt with; the father killed in Germany, Mark's Uncle and family at the funeral, Quinn's CIA fri More...

Sophisticated, cool as a cucumber but still deadly " Ice Man " Quinton Mann and " Don't mess with me cos I'm slightly psycho" Mark Vincent I'm going to really miss you! This trio of Spy v Spooks has been one of my favourite series up to date. It's been fun, very sexy and extremely likeable!!
The stories have flowed nicely between books, the underlying thread keeping them all connected but the real enjoyment for me has been watching the interplay, attraction and growing commitment that these two More...

Review posted at The Armchair Reader.
This review is for the whole series (Houseboat on the Nile, Not My Spook!, and Forever).
For weeks, I've had a plan to read the first of this series, Houseboat on the Nile with my awesome friend and reading buddy Laddie, and then just that week, I got so sick. That was last week, by the way. I didn't know if I'd be in the mood to read these at all. I had a fever and a hard time concentrating. But then, it worked out perfectly. I spend several days reading this More...

The third installment of the relationship between Jack-of-all-trades WBIS spy Mark and the more cultured and civilized CIA spook Quinton. As before the counterpoint to their romantic/sexual relationship is the development of Mark's social relationship to Quinton's family ties. As detailed in the previous installment, Mark lacks any sense of family, having been cast out of an abusive alcoholic home at an early age. The materialization of a real threat to Quinton's family spurs Mark to greater hei More...

If you like the spy/killer type stories you will end up loving Mark and Quinn. It is unavoidable how fun the two of them are in these stories. As each book progresses, the writing smooths out and some of the initial issues such as really long over lapping POV switches are better. There are still some story lines that drop, but it is not overall impactful to the entire story - just niggles and why were they there to begin with if they are going to be dropped.

I really enjoyed the first two volumes in this series. They were intensely snarky, original, action-packed, and fun. Unfortunately, IMHO this installment was kind of a hot mess. There was little action, lots of the MCs mooning over each other, and I swear Mann turned into a teenage girl somewhere along the way.
Also -- as other reviewers have already pointed out, all three books have serious problems with repetition as well. I didn't mind the scenes repeated from each point of view -- what I'm ta More...

I really have expected the L word but naturally Ice man and Sociopathic men, they couldn't pronounce it ,so "forever" worked for me . I have adored Quinn and Mark at first sign, and I liked very much the spy story, because it is fascinating and exciting. Mrs Tinnean write very well and the protagonists are characters very credible. I liked the relationship between two ,and is adorable like both try to hide the love that feel one another...them are ever spy and spook ,strong men ,but in the end t More...

I read this book out of sequence on my kindle and I had no idea until I was in the middle, but I felt I didn't need to read the other two to understand the details. This was my first time with a Tinnean novel and I'm glad I discovered her. Her writing style is quick witted and entertaining. Plot construction tight and fast paced. I will read the other two in the series and more of Tinnean's works.

An excellent conclusion. One little niggle on reflection, I can't quite determine if the significant character change in Quinn over the course of the series was a process of warping slightly to fit the story line or if it was an intentional reflection of character growth. I'll have to do a reread. :)

I LOVED this, it had my heart in my mouth and made me want to bang heads together because I loved both of these men. Being part of their journey was a privileged and one I will be returning to again and agian. I just hope we get more from this great couple.

4.5 stars
Published version of original episodes of "Mann of my Dreams":
- Coming Home
- Be It Ever so Humble
- It Had to be You
- Blue Champagne
- My Christmas Always
- Blue Moon
Read the story first as Mann of my Dreams as online fiction, re-read the published version. Still love it ^_^
Just keep in mind that it's rather long ;o)

I love this series by Tinnean. Forever might even be my favorite with Marc and Quinn settling into their relationship. I adore Quinn’s mother and she has some nice page time in this story. Another great read!

Ну в общем миленько. Хотя удивляет умение автора при таких чудных героях совершенно проэтосамить сюжетную линию.

Much less revisiting actual dialogue but story wasn't as strong as first two.

LOVED THIS SERIES! LOVED!
And this last book was the strongest of the three.
Once again, this trilogy was a trilogy in the sense of Lord of the Rings. It's really just one story split into three books. DON'T START WITH THIS BOOK!
Go back to book one and then devour.
I adored both main characters and loved that you get to see things from both POVs. However, at the end, we didn't switch back for the ending scenes. And that made me a bit sad. I didn't want things to end.
This series is HIGHLY RECOMMEND More...

FANTASTIC!!! Loved it as much as the others. It's firmly ensconced on my-6-star-fav's shelf along side the first two books in the series. A perfect end to the book...Forever. But I can only hope that we hear some more from these two great characters and also from the family and friends of this pair.
Great series, fun and fascinating situations, and I love hearing the view point of both these guys. I really got a chance to get to know them and love them each in their own special way :)
