I'll probably put more of a detailed review up later. Below may have mild spoilers, read at your own risk.

What can I say? I was one of those people that was blind rage angry at the last book. I was like explain this and that, what the fuck Nick?!?! And with this one everything was explained. The I Love You from Zane, why Nick chose to act that way, the holding back, etc.

The necklace is given to Ty, and it was done in a proper way. It wasn't a marriage proposal (yet), but it was a symbol from him I'll probably put more of a detailed review up later. Below may have mild spoilers, read at your own risk.

The necklace is given to Ty, and it was done in a proper way. It wasn't a marriage proposal (yet), but it was a symbol from him to Ty. It was casually done in only a way Zane could do with those amazing lovable eyes Ty could give him.

The sex: I literally sat down and cried at the opening sex scene. It was everything to me. It had nostalgia, love, and hotness. They made comments that both of them have said throughout the series while staying in the moment. However, for a reader, having those nostalgic moments to tie back into their journey was so important. The "are you feeling this too?" Gahhhhhh, kill my heart now. It was amazing. The sex scenes/moments: is it possible you need a fan to cool off from a book? Good, lawdddyy. *pant pant*

I hated Nick in the last book. HATED him. In this one, when I first read it I was all mehhhh. I had sympathy for his POW status, but not how he acted with Ty & Zane. However, the longer I sat on it the longer everything began to fit for me. How although it may on the surface not relate: war torn anguish with real time laughter and love, it all interacts and affects how these men act and love. I got him. I felt for him. Dare I say I grew to love him? He is no threat to Ty & Zane. He is a friend that loved a fellow friend for years. Now that everyone is aware of the situation he can move on. Zane can be the confident man he once was in knowing Ty is his man despite both of their faults. And deep down I would never have felt right with Ty losing his best friend over that. I"m glad too that it was done between Zane and Nick alone.

The roadtrip: I wasn't sure I'd like that aspect, but for this book it felt right. From book 2 through 4, the boys have been stagnant. Trapped in West Virgina, on a cruise ship, and in their own emotional prison in their apartments. In this book, everything was out in the open and progressing. Their emotions, their travel, and who they were opening up with each other. It was enlightening, fun, and sigh worthy. FINALLLLLLLY.

For those wondering about Cameron and Julian: if you were a huge fan of them before, I think this book will get you even more excited. If you weren't, well I don't think they are in it enough to be that distracting. While there is a crossover, this book is all Ty and Zane. It was nice, however, to see Ty & Zane interact with individuals that were gay, not in their work field, and not family. Maybe down the road they will even have them as friends. But, Cameron and Julian are easy, and the dynamics between Julian and Ty were hilarious. Not to mention when Zane went all badass on Julian I may or may not have done a little fist pump.

The ending. Its not a cliffhanger, but its not a HEA. How can it be with more books in the series? However, goddamnnnnnnn, its what we've been waiting for. An ending that has relationship progression that shows the readers that big decisions can come with pure joy and happiness. Yes, they know the road ahead might have some battles, but dammit they believe in each other, they are honest now, and they both know that they aren't willing to ever lose the other.

All in all, a fantastic read!! ...more

I very carefully stayed off Goodreads from the moment I got the book until I finished reading it. I look forward to having my opinion in rereads influenced by what others think but for the first read I wanted to have my own reactions in isolation.

I think the core of this book was about trust. Ty and Zane learning to trust each other emotionally. Or, maybe, not learning so much as finally just taking a deep breath and taking the plunge. The learning curve occurred in the earlier books. And, of co ...more

Armed & Dangerous is great. My favourite so far from the whole series.
These guys make me root for them so hard!

It's all so real. I'm angry with them, in love with them, laughing at with them, crying for them. And not just Ty and Zane, but also Julian, Cameron, Preston, Nick, Deuce.

They're hilarious.

“But I’m such a punny guy,” Zane mock complained...

They're crazy. And often make me mad at them. And at the same time they make me swoon.

I will definitely reread this book. Numerous times. ...more

2021 Re-read:
I really enjoyed this the second time around. It’s my favorite this round. All the characters together were hilarious and fun. Ty and Zane were sweet and hot. Nick’s revelation added more layers. It was all very well done and I’m not sure why I didn’t appreciate it as much the first time. The jokes were flowing throughout and it was a blast.

2013 Review:
SO CLOSE to being 3 stars, but it's more like 3.5 and I'm bumping it to 4 because I cannot bring myself to rate a Ty and Zane book s ...more

This series are my go-to books when I'm just not finding anything to read that satisfies me and I need a good M/M thriller. This one was just as good as ever, although there wasn't enough wounded/on his death bed kind of stuff as usualy which I just love, the sicko that I am.

These two just get cuter and sweeter with each book and their relationship stronger. Can their love get any more beautiful? Here we learn more about Ty's past and Zane gets to (view spoiler) wh ...more

This is a fantastic, action packed joy ride. Ty and Zane go off the grid to bring in the elite assassin Julian Cross. Only problem, he's good, really good. It becomes a story of who is chasing who, who is telling the truth, who is lying, much subterfuge and mayhem abound. Last pages are so funny, that I nearly peed myself.

It's also Zane's moment of discovery. No more denial, no more maybes, he is it it now for the long haul. Finally, Zane admits it and understands just how much he loves Ty.

I really like this series and did enjoy Armed & Dangerous but “with some trepidation” have to be honest and say that I didn’t love it as much as some of the previous books.

I am absolutely in love with Ty & Zane and they are one of my most favorite characters ever and I am so happy to see Zane coming out of his “mushy and sappy” state and now seeing him a bit more confident …though the whole “I love you” over and over did get a bit much for me!!!!! Their relationship seems to be growing stronger ...more

I decided to come back and add a little something since this is my favorite so far by far of the Cut & Run series. I love Ty and Zane and in this book you feel the "FINALLY". You can see that Ty has been waiting for Zane to let go and admit was Ty means to him because you really get to see teddy bear Ty's soft mushy heart. All the feelings and emotions have been there but now they are free of the fears and can let it out to one another. And it is beautiful! The first sex scene in the hotel is be ...more

I REALLY enjoyed this book. It was easily my favorite C&R novel (so far).

It was sweet and super sexy without being overly sappy, which I think the other ones tend toward, and the plot was gripping. I liked Cam and Julian's parts in the novel, and thought the little twist about (view spoiler) was pretty entertaining.

I also loved that they (view spoiler)! And the fact that they are really ...more

Another good time with Ty and Zane. They do finally get on the same page, so at least I wasn't ready to beat them this time. Secrets were revealed and of course another insane case takes them on a road trip. This book was also different in that we get to see a relationship between two more characters, Julian and Cameron. Makes you wonder when they are going to show up again. So Ty and Zane have still kept my love and attention. Highly recommended. ...more
