This book has a false title!

The real one is:

Read & Become obsessed with Ty and Zane!

I just felt like I should warn anyone who's thinking of reading the book :)

Hello, I am a Ty and Zane addict. I have been an addict for 3 days now, and I'm trying not to cure myself. It's not very easy, considering I have only 5 books more to read, and then I'll go through withdrawal. I guess I'll have to do massive re-reads to keep my addiction. It's not something I'll want to get rid of

Cut & Run is the first book in the Cut & Run series and I was totally blown away! I’d never read anything by authors Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux so wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but seriously… it grabbed me from the first page and never let go. Cut & Run has turned out to be one of the best Romantic Suspense books I’ve read this year, and has become one of my favorite M/M romances, too.

I'm abandoning this book. Forever.

I didn't know what was wrong with it but I couldn't get into the story. It felt dragging on and on. I had books that were longer or more complicated but this one, I couldn't feel any sympathy or feeling for the characters at all. I put this book down twice before (in May, in July) and everytime I thought I could continue, I failed.

"Shit, Ty, you can't take my damn arm off! Please ... baby,” Zane's voice cracked with agony as he pleaded between uneven gasping breaths. “Get out of the car,” he ordered weakly.
Ty responded with a small, chaste kiss. As he heard the roaring of the battered cab's engine coming closer he curled protectively around Zane,
hoping to shield him from the brunt of the crash.

I have been wondering for quite some time what makes reading about a man who falls in love with another man so appealing. My answer would be that there is no bullsh*t in what they feel. The emotion is raw, intense and all-consuming. A man finds difficulty in spitting out what goes on in his heart and mind, so when you have two of them, struggling to figure this out and claim what they want, it's thrilling.

Here there's Ty and Zane. They are swapping roles, they are evolving by the minute, they are risking everything, they are putting themselves out there, they break and the one puts the other back in one piece. They go through hell, they almost lose their lives because of some lunatic, but they are bound together. Let's just face it, they're partners.

“Are you feeling this, too?” he rasped. This insane, blown-away pleasure, the near impossible-to-assuage hunger, the ache
deep inside, contrasted by short moments of tenderness that seemed so out of place. Zane certainly wasn't sure where they came from, but oh,
God...?

Zane swallowed hard as he slid his hand to take Ty's and lace their fingers together. “Are you feeling this, too?” he asked, echoing what they'd asked each other months ago, only to have it pushed aside. But not forgotten.
Ty watched their fingers intertwine, fighting back the fluttering in his stomach when Zane spoke. He jerked his head up sharply and met Zane's eyes.
That one he did remember, although he had regretted that conversation for months, blushing furiously whenever he thought of it even when he was alone. He shook his head and swallowed. “No,” he answered hoarsely, echoing the answer he had given before.
Slowly, Zane raised his other hand to cup Ty's reddening cheek. “Me, either,” he breathed before leaning forward to kiss Ty gently.

Zane closed his eyes and shrugged a little. “If I'd been there, I might have been able to do something. But I wasn't, and I lost them."
"And if you'd been there,” Ty said softly, “I would have lost you."
Zane slowly opened his eyes to look at Ty's back as his breath caught. “I'm not letting you walk away again,” he said to him thickly without thinking about it first.

All the pain and fear and upset and desire balled up in Zane's gut, and his breath stopped as he gripped his lover's shoulder. “Come back to me."

The Sound of Winter-Bush

Mind strong, Body strong
Try to find equilibrium
Head straight, screwed on
Been screwed up for too long

I don't want to lean on the waves
I watch the storm evaporate
I think of you in starry skies
I keep you so alive

Let's walk through the fire together
Disappear in the golden sands

It's all in your face
I see you break
It's like the sound of winter
The bleeding love, the silent escape
You've got to hang on to yourself
It's like the sound of winter

Medusa smiles, Judas lips
Open arms and finger tips
Love bites and recompense
I'll be with you until the end
Let's walk through the fire together
Disappear in the golden sands

It's all in your face
I see you break
It's like the sound of winter
The bleeding love, the silent escape
You've got to hang on to yourself

So here’s what I loved about this book- The sexual tension is palpable and I love the “good cop, bad cop” vibe they have going on. There is nothing better in my opinion then a Hate at First Site/Opposites Attract Romance. Both men are dealing with past pains and neither wants the other as a partner. For a while it seemed more likely that they would kill each other then become lovers...

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Cut and Run supercedes any other book I may have rated as my top read for 2008. I know it's 2009 already but I loved this MM FBI romantic suspense so much that nothing can beat it even in 2009 unless Urban and Roux releases the sequel. I was told they plan more stories around these two Special Agents and I can't wait.

FBI agents Ty & Zane are less than thrilled to be partnered up to investigate a possible serial killer. They are both considered somewhat troubled by the bureau, so on the surface is seems like a partnership made in hell. But, before long the two men have grown incredibly attached to each other, and learn that they work very well as a team.

This could have been a really good story, instead it was the literary equivalent of a summer blockbuster movie, complete with requisite car chase/slow-motion car flipping over scene. This was basically every buddy cop movie you've ever seen, except this time the two agents have sex. The two agents would have been interesting characters if the dialogue hadn't been designed to beat you over the head with the fact that these two guys don't like each other, no really, they don't like each other, look at how much they don't like each other! It was fine, if a little cliched, at first, but then it just kept going. Every time I started getting into the book, something would pull me out of it. There is a lot of extremely unlikely dialogue. For example, I doubt two guys who really don't like each other( no really, they really don't like each other) and are trying to keep their bisexuality under wraps would spend so much time joking about each other's butts. Also, while talking to younger FBI agents, one of the main characters mentions that while the younger man was watching cartoons, he was "in the Gulf", to which the other agent replies "The gulf of what?" Not a very likely response from anyone, especially an FBI agent. The authors' depiction of New York City doesn't ring true at all. Where in The Village do you pull out of your parking space into 60mph traffic? And why are there so many hippies still hanging around? And apparently, if you grab a stewardess's butt and then call her sweetheart or darling or something else cliche and insulting, she will give you her phone number and invite you to her affordable-on-a-flight-attendant's-salary Manhattan apartment for anonymous sex. Also in this world, if you are an FBI agent you never have to go to the hospital. After your car is smashed an EMT will set your broken arm and send you home with a bottle of painkillers that they carry with them, even after you tell them you have a previous drug problem, because ambulances are also portable pharmacies, and you don't need X-rays of your broken arm or broken ribs or maybe dislocated shoulder or banged up knee or any of the other injuries you've sustained. And then, when all these things hurt really bad and you just can't take it anymore, you can take the whole bottle of painkillers at once, and this will clear your head and enable you to use your broken arm.

I generally don't read mysteries, and this book tried really hard to make sure I don't start. Some of the ways the serial killer murdered his victims were just plain ridiculous, and I don't see how no one picked up on the pattern before the main characters did. And how on earth do you dye someone's hair after you've killed them? Are you lugging dead bodies around the apartment, propping them up in the shower or rinsing their hair in the kitchen sink? This is definately not the book to read if you're looking for a good mystery.

As other reviewers have mentioned, POV switches constantly, sometimes in the same paragraph. I'm all for knowing what's going on inside people's heads, just not all at once. I felt like the editors should have picked up on that and helped the authors clear it up a bit. Then again, they should have picked up on a few of the other things I've mentioned, as well.

Despite all this, I *wanted* to like this book. I really did. Through all the forced machismo, there is some actual character development. If you like blockbusters and cop movies and have a superhuman ability to suspend disbelief, there are a few good spots in this book. It's refreshing when the characters drop the attitudes and act like real people for a few pages. (less)

Dear book,

I'm sorry I waited so long.

Sincerely,
Me

This book had almost everything I enjoy in a series. I found the characters to be especially strong. I liked both Zane and Ty, and appreciate that neither man was perfect. They each have their own demons, their strengths and weaknesses, and neither man was the good or bad cop. I like flawed characters, and even more than that I like sharp, snarky flawed characters. The bickering between these two is great, and I love their sense of humor, and timing. I like that neither one is particularly nice, but that doesn't prevent them from being caring, or fundamentally decent people. It's not about Ty saving Zane, or Zane redeeming Ty it's two people growing together. I like that this looks to be a slow building relationship, and is definitely not one of those stories where the moment they have sex suddenly they are deeply in love. They are far from soul mates, and that makes me happy.

The plot is engaging, and I found the mystery to be as compelling as the budding relationship. The murders are suitably gruesome, and I liked following the twists and turns of the investigation. Events played out in an interesting way, and the explanation and conclusion were chilling, and creepy. This story was much more than a romance with some light mystery thrown in for conflict, and tension. I also appreciated that each character brought something to the table when it came to understanding, and solving the crime, and that neither one could have done it without the other. They also had to turn to other people for help, with mixed results. I like that this was not something that two people, smarter and better than everyone else, solved on their own. The killer was not easily brought down, and the cases demanded all of their resources to solve.

The writing kept me reading, and I enjoyed the tone, and feel of the story. It added so much to the story, and gave it real life, and feeling. Now that I've started I don't think I will be able to stop, and that is not a bad thing at all.

How they fought it and finally " gave it up." I'll move on to the next book for sure.

Yes, yes I finally broke down and read this!

♦ The snark
♦ The fighting
♦ The sexual tension
♦ The violent kissing
♦ The angry fucking

Negatives:
♦ The head hopping!! It was exhausting trying to decipher who was saying, doing, thinking what. I found myself rereading a lot.
♦ The beginning of the book! It was slow reading for a while. Add in the head hopping and it seemed like it took forever for anything to happen. But about...more

Thank you to the people who said to ignore the next book I had planned to read and read this instead. I really enjoyed this. A lot of reviewers have said that it took them a while to get into this, but that wasn't the case with me. I enjoyed this from the beginning. The banter between Ty and Zane was great, and I found myself laughing out loud a couple of times.
The serial killer story was very believable, and creeped me out a little, and the romance storyline was a joy to read. It wasn't as stea...more

Quotes from Cut & Run

“Zane was starting to piss him off again. Which was good, he supposed. It meant the urge to lick him all over was passing, at least.” — 96 people liked it

“What, you didn’t pack your lunch?” Ty asked sarcastically as he
shifted around in the seat and wedged himself against the door. He kicked a
foot up and propped it on the console between the two front seats.
“Sure, in my SpongeBob SquarePants lunch box. I have the thermos,
too,” Morrison shot right back.
Zane kept his mouth shut, eyes moving between the two men, and
occasionally back to the driver, who was casually paying attention.
Ty stared at the kid and narrowed his eyes further. “Spongewhat?” he
asked flatly.
Zane didn’t even try to hold back the chuckle when Morrison looked
at Ty like he’d lost his mind.
“Spongewha … you’re yanking my chain, aren’t you?” Morrison
said. “Henny, he’s yanking my chain.”
“Yeah, well, that’s what you getting for waving it in his face,” the
driver answered reasonably.
“What the hell is a SpongeBob?” Ty asked Zane quietly in the
backseat.” — 58 people liked it
