"Catch a Tiger by the Tail" is probably the softest book in the series. I've always been curious about Hobbs and Calvin and their lovely friendship and their story here does not disappoint. I've never been a fan of the "friends to lovers" trope, but Charlie Cochet made me enjoy their story so much: I loved seeing a bit more of Calvin and Ethan's past, their school years and their family troubles, the way their steadfast friendship is slowly developing into a love match. I found Ethan's selective mutism and social anxiety portrayal very well-done and my heart broke for him so many times. I also LOVED seeing a bit more of the Hobbs family, the bad blood between the brothers, and now I'm very impatient to read Sebastian's story. Calvin too, his struggles and backstory were heartbreaking and I loved how fierce he was when it came to protecting Ethan.
This sixth novel has lots of action and funny moments (seriously, the scene where DD helps Sloane move into Dex's house had me crying from laughter) and lots of painful and thought-provoking ones too. And that ending: I SCREAMED. I'm starting book #7 now: I NEED to know.
