2nd re-listen. Dropping my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars and here's why:
So were Miro and Ian together at all here? We began with Ian being deployed, coming back for a day or 2 and then being deployed yet again. After he came back the 2nd time Miro and Ian didn't manage much before all hell broke loose and still Ian wasn't there....
But they did manage to move forward in their relationship and after Miro almost lost his life for a 3rd time Ian got over his hangups.
Tristan James's narration is really good as always.

This series is over the top ridiculous in SO many ways, but I love it anyway. My only real issue with this installment was So. Many. People. FBI agents, DEA agents, Army Rangers, Marshals, friends, police detectives. I just couldn't keep them all straight, especially knowing that lots of them were from other series and books, some not even by this author! But I just ignored all of that, and went along for the ride, and it was quite the ride, indeed. Ian and Miro love each other SO much, but they are having a difficult time, dealing with Ian constantly getting deployed with his Special Forces team.
As usual, there was a lot going on here. We start out in San Francisco, with Miro loaned out to the DEA, and a crooked agent, and then there's someone killing people in Ian's old unit, and an escaped serial killer, and all of Miro's MANY BFFs showing up at all hours. It was exhausting, but fun, thrilling and exciting, and I'm glad to see that we're getting at least one more book about this duo.

5 Fabulous Stars!!
Am I biased when it comes to these two? Hell yes.
Fans won’t be disappointed with this new installment, as it’s full of action, drama and ridiculous scenarios only these two could find themselves in. Like in any good series, the supporting cast over time has definitely lent to the complexity, fun factor, and overall enjoyment.
What always remains though, is how much Miro and Ian love each other. They might not agree on everything, they might not like the same things, but when it comes down to it, their devotion shines through.
So what stands out for me this go around is just how passionate they are, how deeply and acutely felt their need for each other was. Love should be all consuming, something one can’t live without, and it should always takes precedence. Calmes shows that perfectly through these two. It’s obsessive, possessive, desperate, claiming, and painful - but still absolutely necessary to function, let alone exist. Miro and Ian really grasp and acknowledge this here, and it was amazingly wonderful. *sigh*
Simply loved it. Want more of it.

The serial killer keeps me up at night. This is like a soap opera. OMG the angst and the amount of shit that goes down ALL AT THE SAME TIME will give me a heart attack! I can't say this is good because I hate so much of it. But I keep reading, and I keep wanting to know what happens to these two. I love them. I have mixed feelings!
