Another absolutely awesome "Oh my god i am going to swoon" story about my two favorite guys!

In this story Zane has to go to Texas and support his family, his dad has been shot.

There are a lot of very good and very detailed reviews of this book already. So i will stick with what this book did for me. I started reading this series because I am new to M/M romance and my GR friends who do read the genre told me over and over to read it. What I didn't expect is how these two guys immediately fou ...more

This story is so AWESOME I read it all in two days! I feel like the MCs are a part of me, I need to know more of their story soon. Please hurry with the next chapter, and Abigail has not missed a beat without Madeline. Does anyone else agree?

Every book in this series is better than the last, IMHO. I absolutely cannot get enough of these two, and I will never miss another book by these authors. I laughed, I cried, I had to change my knickers a couple times ;) Its everything I could ask for in a series. I am a complete blubbering mess now that its over.

I'd also like to add that I've never found myself attracted to a cowboy before. Now....my boyfriend may be getting a Stetson for Christmas. Mmm hmm. ...more

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!! After reading a number of reviews I get the feeling I belong to that rare breed of Ty and Zane junkies that actually enjoyed the transition in their relationship. After all, if I had read six books where there was only constant temper tantrums, bitch fights, psycho hang ups, antagonising and emotionally stunted feelings, I would have thrown at least the fifth book against the window with exasperation. Normal people would have ended the relationship, split up and moved o ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!! After reading a number of reviews I get the feeling I belong to that rare breed of Ty and Zane junkies that actually enjoyed the transition in their relationship. After all, if I had read six books where there was only constant temper tantrums, bitch fights, psycho hang ups, antagonising and emotionally stunted feelings, I would have thrown at least the fifth book against the window with exasperation. Normal people would have ended the relationship, split up and moved on. It was totally heart warming to see how Ty and Zane come to terms with their pasts, their deepening trust in each other, sharing and caring more which only strengthened their love for each other. Isn't that exactly how it should be?

Ty's and Zane's outing to Ty's family at the beginning of the book was superbly written. I especially liked the idea that grandad Chester "the silent observer" was the one who dared speak the unspeakable. As with any close and loving family, it was good to read that Ty's dad's anger was not directed at him for being gay, but more for running away and cutting his family out of such a large and important part of his life. Ty's mum remains the pillar of strength for all her boys and now sees she has one more boy to care for and love. I can so relate to this. My brother knew about me long before my parents did. I'm also very close to my brother. I was outed to my parents by someone as an act of spite. Looking back they did me the biggest favour of my life. After the initial upset had settled, my parents love me as much now, probably more, as they ever did and have excepted my partner of 12 years as a true son-in-law and love him as much too. But I'll never get back the years I cut them out of a part of my life that was so important. I felt like I was reading my life story. Brilliant piece of writing and insight.

As for Zane's family his dad is a really cool character, loving and happy to see his son happy. But what a piece of work his mother is, she could have walked straight out of the cast of Dynasty! Alexis Carrington is a pussy cat compared to Zane's mum.

Finally, as for anyone one out there who may think two gay FBI agents is unrealistic, all I can say is think again! I spent ten years myself in the military, Royal Air Force, in a macho environment and not being able to be open about my sexuality. I wasn't the only one either, believe me. All it proved was that I could do the job as good as any other man (shoot 'em, but don't kiss 'em!) so why not two gay FBI agents?

I also think it's a wonderful gesture of the author to be donating 10% of the earnings from this book to IEAS!

I just have one last plea to the author.......... MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!!! ...more

Fun with Ty and Zane. Off to Texas and Zane's family in this book. More fun with cats large and small. I sniffled and snorted and cried during some 'coming out,' sections. I hope my son didn't feel the fear like this when he came out. All in all, it ends with a sigh. Once again a high recommended book. ...more

Finishing this book was bitter-sweet! Once again absolutely loved immersing myself in Ty and Zane but oh, so sad that the book is finished and I have to wait until next year for the next one. Don't want to wish my life away but come on 2013! ...more

I love this series. I can honestly say this series only got better with every book. The first was my least favorite bit necessary. After reading reviews, I kept on going. This book and armed and dangerous are my favorites! I hope they continue!
