Ok, I dont know if it is because I am re reading all the Carly books one big chunk, but man this one made a heck of a lot more sense this time. I think that if you miss out on even one title or have not read it recently, then the million and one people that show up in here makes it harder to understand.
I loved Larson. I still have a hard time picturing what he looks like. Canyon I had no issues picturing but Larson just does not come together for me. I did love this story though, enough to bump up the rating to 5 stars.

Well...
I was sort of underwhelmed with Larson's book after looking forward to it for so long. I didn't feel the connection with Canyon at all unlike all of the previous books in this series. It did make me miss the others that we have gotten to know though....more

Ok listen, this is still not my fav of the series mainly because we don't actually get to know Thane in the first two books. We saw more of Ronan in the last one though.
Anyways, in this one we have Thane, a hulking massive man who was once involved with Ronan until Ronan accidentally told Thane that he loves him and Thane literally walked out the door in the middle of having sex. Ronan is the brother of Heath from the previous series and used to work for the feds.
I'm sorry but there was not enough groveling involved in my opinion.
So in between taking down bad guys they get back together.
I just want to say that you do need to read this one for the background of the next couple. Also, let's just say that Ronan is very bendy. Like extremely bendy and able to do things to himself.
I also need to point out that this file had some odd sound issues. Like some parts were edited in or something. If it had only been noticeable once or twice, I would not say anything but there was like this huge chunk.
Regardless, Zane did a great job and the narration was awesome.

There were so many tears in this one. Not from me, mind. I don't mind tears when its needed, but I'm not sure we needed this much....more
Reading these in audio makes them feel much more emotional. Deciding to re read these in audio was a good decision.
So in here we haveAudiobook Review

So in here we have Jake, who popped up a couple of times in book one. He teaches yoga at the gym and has severe PTSD and is a recovering alcoholic after being tortured in France while working for the government. Yep, the same group as DB, from the series spun off of this one.
We also have Jean Luc, a massively tall ex basketball star that Jake has been getting off to since his teen years. Jean Luc is a wealthy star who is gay but never came out nor had a relationship with another man. He escaped a war torn country and also has PTSD.
These two actually talk to each other, explain all the complexities with each other's mental health, and decide to become a couple. Jake is actually 6'3 but next to 7 ft plus Jean Luc, he is tiny.
While there were other things happening, what made this book shine was the two mcs.
John Solo was fine in this one, I hated the inflection that was used for Jake, but I learned to live with it.

I loved this
These two were perfect for each other. I'm glad that the PTSD wasn't solved by the magical peen and that therapy was involved....more
