4.5 onda libro 5 de heavens. Muy bueno pero tranqui y corto


- AMO A ESOS SEÑORES POR DIOOOS
- Amo las vibras nuevas que manejan todos los casos aunque no se como me siento con que se hayan pasado el 80% del libro cogiendo y el último 10% resolviendo el caso. Como que el libro pudo haber terminado sin resolver nada y hubiese tenido el mismo peso. Igual no resolvieron nada prácticamente.
- Fuera de eso AME el ENORME desarrollo que tuvieron los dos y ese final??????? ME DESTRUYEN

Necesito dejar de posponer estos libros sjjsjs

Questo terzo capitolo della saga è stato appassionante come i precedenti, forse un po’ meno realistico in certi argomenti, perché trovo abbastanza inverosimile che in due mesi Ty si sia ripreso a tal punto, ma lui è l’uomo bionico e probabilmente mi sbaglio io.
L’altra cosa un po’ stonata è stata Norina: simpatica, sì. Ma nell’inseguimento è scivolata sul tragicomico esagerato che, anziché alleggerire l’atmosfera… mi ha quasi urtato i nervi, perché sembra a solo un’oca giuliva. Conservo il momento in cui prende a borsettate Ty per i tempi bui, mi sembrava proprio la vecchietta di Madagascar 2.
Invece ho amato i loro turbamenti reciproci: Zane che si chiede quanto ci sia di Ty e quanto di Corbin, e Ty che si fa le stesse domande sulla gelosia e la possessività del compagno: è Del che parla oppure è un nuovo lato di Zane che non conosce? Quanto stanno fingendo per entrare nella parte e quanto sono sinceri?
L’evoluzione sentimentale di Ty e Zane prosegue, tra alti e bassi, e raggiunge un nuovo, importante livello.
Eppure ha ragione Zane: cosa conosco, davvero, l’uno dell’altro?
C’è chimica, c’è complicità. C’è fiducia. Eppure per uno step successivo, una coppia deve avere anche delle radici, non necessariamente condivise. Puoi innamorarti di un uomo di cui non sai quasi nulla… ma puoi amarlo per sempre, oppure prima o poi si rivelerà un estraneo?
A momenti, quei due si capiscono alla perfezione, si anticipano i pensieri a vicenda… ma un attimo dopo parlano lingue diverse e fraintendono tutto. Come accidenti fanno? Questa cosa mi inquieta, perché ci terrà sempre sul filo del rasoio. Eh, niente. Spero che il nuovo step arrivi presto!

"Fish & Chips" is the third book in the "Cut & Run" series by the writing team of Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux and takes readers along for an undercover adventure with my favorite M/M duo of FBI Special Agent Tyler Brady and FBI Special Agent Zane Garrett. The previous two books mentioned Ty and Zane having vast experience as undercover agents so it was great to finally be able to read about this particular assignment, especially since they're able to do it together.

Zane and Ty are tasked to go undercover as Corbin and Del Porter, a married gay couple who have just been arrested for theft (art, antiquities, etc.). Naturally, the two agents not only have to act the parts but have to look like the men they're impersonating. This also presents a unique opportunity for them to not have to be wary of who's watching them when they're being affectionate with each other. After all, they ARE supposed to be married. ^.^ Score!

The undercover assignment proves to be an eye-opening one for both Ty and Zane, especially for Ty who has to be the submissive one in the marriage. While they enjoy pretending to be a gay couple out in the open, they're also faced with challenges because they can't seem to find their back-up team on the ship they're on and there appears to be various factions out to get Corbin and Del, dead or alive. Nothing ever comes easy for these two.

I loved (yes, there's that word again) how Ty and Zane's being undercover allowed them to make certain realizations about how important they are to each other as partners inside and outside of the bedroom. The love story combined with the mystery thriller aspect of figuring who the bad guys are is what I enjoy most when it comes to this particular book as well as the series as a whole. While both Ty and Zane may come off as guys who are aggressive and domineering, there's a sensitivity there, especially when it comes to their relationship, that makes them quite endearing. ♥

Drum roll, please... "Fish & Chips" gets five stars. ^.^ Surprise! No? You figured I was going to give it five stars, eh? I told you I loved this series. ♥ And once again, do yourselves a favor and read the books if you haven't already. So worth the time you put into each one. Seriously.

My guess is that this was a filler, in order to get some much needed character development without focusing on a heavy case too much.
And the character development was great and all but for an undercover case, the case was lacking.
It was mostly weird vibes and zero information, we just get to know what was actually going on in the last few pages. If I wasn’t so invested in the storyline I would have definitely dnfed it.
