The Tipsybibliophile

I'm about to quote LL Cool J folks...I've got to..."Don't call it a comeback!!"...Ty and Zane for fuck's sake what the hell? How can this even be that good after six books?! Two of which I barely got through!!!...This book was fucking brilliant. Jeeeeeezuz...This series might be the most torturous thing I've done to myself since I started reading M/M Romance, Ty and Zane have made me homicidal more than once, I've given up on the series, thought it had gone to shit, felt hopeful again only to be annoyed and turned off by irritating promotional antics by the author. I wasn’t going to read it! I was not going to READ IT…But it's Ty and Zane, and I love those two fuckers, so I bucked up because the end is near, and I want to KNOW where these guys will end up...I was reticent...I thought I'd be disappointed, pissed or both...And then I started reading and this book bitch slapped me INTO SUBMISSION…Like.A.Fucking.BOSS.

This is by far my favorite book in the series...Hands down. This is the most coherent chapter of Ty and Zane’s love story I’ve read so far. This series has had its share of ups and downs, and I almost gave up on it until Stars & Stripes, it was a good transition book and it left me wanting more of Ty and Zane. But if book #6 was putting them back on the right track this book, Touch & Geaux, it’s the catharsis, where these two men finally stripped themselves to the bone and showed each other who they were inside and out. I finally feel like I have a sense of who they are, where the come from.

Ty and Zane are always burning for each other and biting and so hot, so in love and then so cold, they love each other but why is everything always so hard? Why can they love and fuck and fight so fiercely, and keep their guards up like they do? WHY??? I wanted to know!!...Now I do, they finally showed all their secrets. We got to see part of their pasts and how those events had changed them, and how they shaped them.

I loved the twists and turns in this book, it was fast paced from the get go, we hit the ground running and landed in none other than NOLA baby! It was a fabulous place for Ty and Zane to bring their usual mayhem, and it worked incredibly well. I thought the author did a fabulous job of setting the story and exploiting all the kinds of crazy shit that only Ty and Zane could get up to in a city like New Orleans.

Honestly this is the kind of story that makes M/M so unique, characters with so many flaws, who fuck up so badly, who can be so cruel to the one they love and yet you WANT THEM HAPPY. I want them happy…Forever and ever and ever…This book was heart wrenching, they tore each other’s hearts out in this one, my goodness they didn’t stop tearing at each other, but it’s what had to happen for them to truly have a chance to have a future. Because anything else would have been another pair, not Ty and Zane.

I totally and completely loved this book, and can hardly wait to see what will happen next with these two guys. I can’t even say it’s more of the Ty and Zane I know and love, because it isn’t, they aren’t! They are better than the guys I fell in love with, they are BETTER. I don’t even know how to explain…But maybe they can…

“Who are you, Ty?” Ty smiled against his cheek. “I was an assassin,” he whispered. “I’m a Marine. I’m the man who doesn’t miss. And I’m yours.” Zane bit his lip on a smile.

“Who are you, Zane?” Zane cocked his head. “I’m an artist. I’m a geek.” He felt Ty smile. “I am one badass motherfucker on a motorcycle.” Ty began to laugh. Zane dipped his head until they were staring into each other’s eyes. “And I’m yours.”

Ty and Zane, not a coincidence that it rhymes with crack cocaine…And I ain’t putting down my pipe any time soon.
