Tied Up In Knots by Mary Calmes: Audiobook Review with Giveaway

March 22, 2017 by Denise

51RDgmP2pL._SY346synopsisMiro Jones is living the life; he’s got his exciting, fulfilling job as a US deputy marshal, his gorgeous Greystone in suburban Chicago, his beloved adopted family, and most importantly, the man who captured his heart, Ian Doyle. Problem is, Ian isn’t just his partner at work – Ian’s a soldier through and through. That commitment takes him away from Miro, unexpectedly and often, and it’s casting a shadow over what could be everything Miro could ever dream of.
Work isn’t the same without Ian. Home isn’t the same, either, and Miro’s having to face his fears alone…how to keep it together at the office, how to survive looming threats from the past, and worst of all, how to keep living without Ian’s rock-solid presence at his side. His life is tied up in knots, but what if unknotting them requires something more permanent? What would that mean for him and Ian? Miro’s stuck between two bad choices, and sometimes the only way to get out of the knot is to hold tight to your lifeline and pull.

deanna review

I love the Marshalls series. There is just something about Ian and Miro. Their story is a fairytale,.. Kinda… Maybe… If Quentin Tarantino were writing it.

This installment picks up with Ian being away on a four month op and Miro being loaned out to the DEA on the west coast. Of course Miro finds all sorts of trouble to get into out there. As he’s headed home he gets the call that Ian is heading home too. For the first time, Ian asks Miro to pick him up from the airport with his team.

Miro starts hoping for some normalcy when Bam, the military life rears it’s ugly head again. Several people from Ian’s old unit have died and the government brass think that someone is trying to kill the whole team. Ian heads to Washington to try to figure out what’s going on, meanwhile Craig Hartley has escaped from prison again.

Ian and Miro have some tough choices to make. Can Miro stand by Ian when’s he gone for as much time as he’s home? Can Miro live with the anxiety everyday of not knowing whether Ian is going to come home safe? Is Hartley coming after Miro again?

This story wraps up in stunning fashion, as I’ve come to expect from this series. I can’t wait to see where the next story takes us, hopefully their is a wedding involved.

These characters are some of my favorites, the story was entertaining and fast paced. I’m kinda over the Hartley story line, I know the storyline was left open so he could possibly return in a later book, but please Jesus let Miro be. I can’t handle the stress of him being kidnapped and tortured again.

I think Tristan James is perfect for this series. The Chicago accent is great, it’s gritty and tough and perfect for Ian and Miro. I will admit Kage sounds damn good too.

Two Chicks Obsessed with Books and Eye Candy
Every November by Bec BensonMy reviewIf you've ever moved away from your hometown and returned for holidays, you will totally understand some of the feelings in this book. Thanksgiving- especially the night before Thanksgiving- is always a big one for seeing people. People are home, they want to see friends before family obligations the next day and you see a million people at the local bar. Some people love it, some hate it. And with Evan and Marcus we get both.Marcus hates going home but does it out of some sort of twisted loyalty in his head. The black sheep of the family who moved away to the city, has a job that he hates and who seemingly never does anything right. Evan, on the other hand also moved away, but he loves his job and he loves coming home to see his adoring family for the holidays.They meet in the bar, have a quick hook up and that's the end of that. But it isn't.They run into each other again the next year. And the quick hook up is a bit longer.And the following year.And as much as Marcus hates going home and dealing with his family, he looks forward to seeing Evan again. But one terrible conversation with his parents causes Marcus to spiral into a deep depressive episode and he cuts off communication with Evan.I was impressed with the portrayal of depression in this book. It gets glossed over, joked about, and "cured" way too easily usually. But Marcus' fight with depression felt so real. Because even when you are doing well, it's there, lurking, just looking for a reason to take over. And once it has it's claws in you, it's really hard to break free. No matter how much you want to.And Evan tried to help. He really did. But there's only so much you can do. The only thing I didn't like was Evan being upset/mad at Marcus. But I tried to remember that most people don't know what depression truly entails.I enjoyed this unique story and obviously the portrayal of mental illness. I was very glad to see them get their happily ever after.4 Pieces of Eye Candy ...
