Shelves: mm, ebook

I really enjoyed this story. I fell in love with D and Jack almost instantly. I had a bit of a hard time reading D's speech and found myself rereading sentences in order to read them the way they were written. I liked it, but it didn't always match with my picture of him. I also liked that there was no rush into their relationship. The first 25% of the book I was trying to envision how they could possibly have one. By 50%, I was cheering them on. Then at 75%, I was back to figuring out a way for ...more

Shelves: favorites

I am finally done reading this book. What took me so long was just "life" in general. It had nothing to do with the book itself. ZATB was incredible. I can easily see why this book is at the top of every list on GR. It is a must read!! The intensity and passion between Jack and D is unlike anything I've read. The longing and desire they have for one another is on another level from most relationships. When they miss each other, YOU FEEL IT! Ms. Seville just about cuts my heart out every time. TH ...more

Shelves: mystery, romance-contempory, adventure, grabs-my-heart

This was a wonderful, multi-layered adventure. This would make a thrilling movie or mini-series on cable. The main two characters happened to be gay. Their relationship and growing love was a big part of the story but it was a human story. I loved D. His journey and growth held my heart hostage. I loved his POV that came from his profession as a Hit Man. Jack was funny and had an inner strength that made him perfect for D. He was smart and educated, a perfect counterpoint for D. We are not guara ...more

Mar 09, 2012 Sarah rated it did not like it

Shelves: over-rated-crap

I'll be the first to admit that I have overly high expectations for this book based on the ratings and reviews on GR. I had a very hard time finishing this book--it took me days, which is very unusual for me. A few things kind of ruined this book for me. First, D's speech pattern is very irritating. He completely lacks the ability to articulate thoughts or words. He can barely do more that grunt.
Then there is a scene fairly early in the book that just doesn't make sense to me. D and Jack are hol ...more

Jul 05, 2012 Allison rated it really liked it

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the characters and the story but I did have a couple of different issues.

It was a tad longer than it needed to be, there were probably 3 different places where I thought the book was done only to go to the next page (e-book) to find that I had anywhere from quite a few chapters to a couple more left.

Also, D's speaking voice, argh, that made me insane and I actually took to just glancing at what was written & then re-writing it in my head. I'm sorry, but I ca ...more
