I can’t believe it’s over. I think I need a period of mourning before I can actually read something else. Maybe start at the beginning of the series and re-read all my favorite parts. I was debating on 4 or 5 stars. My first inclination was 4 because while Ty and Zane together were perfect – there was an awful lot of time taken up with…plot. I realize that for most people, a book being taken up with plot is not a bad thing…but I’ve always been in the Cut & Run series for the relationship building, the witty bantering, the chemistry, the hot sex and sappy sweet that encompasses Ty and Zane.
So yes, I get that the plot was actually crucial to wrapping up the story....and thus necessary…and it was nice to see Ty and Zane ride off into the sunset together (figuratively speaking). And the Ty and Zane that was present…was actually….perfect…so 5 stars to the ending of an absolutely stellar series.
I actually kind of liked all the cameos. If was fun to see the parents’ reactions to the nuptials. And nice to see Zane’s mother actually have a maternal instinct. I like the comfortable, solidarity of the Ty and Zane relationship and the fact that they still manage to have some pretty hot chemistry – even after 8 books – it doesn’t get old. I liked how all the Sidewinder boys came together with Liam and Julian and the FBI team to help out – but truth be told, really I would have liked less guest star appearances and more Ty and Zane. And yes I would have liked less Nick and Kelly. I like them, I really do – just not when they’re sucking up space in the last book of the series. (Unless Ty and Zane get to suck up some space in the next Sidewinder books – in which case – it’s all good).
Thank you to whichever reviewer (I’m so sorry I don’t specifically remember who) encouraged me to keep going to the very end of the end to get the little Brick & Mortar bonus ficlet. Very short and very sweet – the future of Ty and Zane.

Inarguably the best book in the series. I'm totally not ok with the series ending, but I'm 100% pleased with how it ended. I can only hope that Roux will give us more Ty and Zane in the future, because these men have totally gutted me with their love.

Sad to see the last of Ty and Zane in their own book, but hope to see a lot of them in the Sidewinder series.

It's bitter sweet to read this book.
I'm not gonna write a proper review. Everything has been said already after years if this series being dine and published.
I will say that it will continue to be one of my favorites. Ty and Zane will always be one of my favorite MM couples.
I do wish we had gotten a little more domesticity and a proper epilogue for these men. They deserved it.

I'm so incredibly hungover after finishing this book. I've literally dreamt about Ty and Zane several times this week, and I'm missing them already. :')

3,5 stars.
I love the first half of this story, starting to question why some people seems disappointed in this book, and then the second half, I got the answer.
Abi is good at building tension, spiking questions on who was on Ty and Zane's side and who's not. But when it comes to explain those questions, it goes downhill so fast. The final act seems too dramatic--comic/manga cliche-dramatic--and I think I cannot handle that in a novel. Every interesting points in the beginning went cold afterfaking turning back for the Cartel? Meh. Who would've believe that? Hell, even if Ty believe that his freaking husband betrayed him, the big mafia organization as Vega Cartel shouldn't believe it that much to let Zane execute his own friends and spouse alone. That bit just make like Vega Cartel didn't deserve their reputation as a big ass dealer. And in the end, even the conflict resolution still didn't answer anything about.... everything.
But I love Ty and Zane interaction in here, more talking with their mouths instead of d*cks like they did in book 8. More heart-to-heart while still sexy, some flangst, so much chemistry even with Nick's constant try to be total hardass. I get the Zane I adore back in this book, that handsome, Spanish-tongue, knives handler, close-range combatant hardass nerd. I really love his final showdown and couldn't help but doing snoopy dance when he badassedly won. But Ty... well... he's just a sobbing mess in this book I don't even know why.
I'd say, romance side, Ty and Zane close their story in a good way. The action is perfect. The suspense is so much engaging while it lasts. The drama is too much. Is it a good closure book? It has weaknesses, but I guess it's okay. I'm satisfied and not at all disappointed,though the "burn talk" is annoying. Thank you for writing my first and ultimate M/M novel OTP, Abi and Madeleine! I'll remember Ty and Zane forever.
p.s. can we have another Julian Cross' story? I mean, his another book, not just as cameo.

Nick's abuse and dramatic goodbye--like, why you make freaking Nick to act as if he's the one who will die in a drama-hero style while simultaneously promoting the upcoming Nickell's story? Why not Owen or Digger? That way readers will actually scream and not "Nooooo don't let Nick died he still got the next Sidewinder book to promote!" scream. Seriously Ms. Roux didn't assume all the readers to read C&B before the press release of Part & Parcel, because this Nick thing will be a "huh" aspect if someone read this book after Part & Parcel released. And that bit about Zane suddenlyBut I love Ty and Zane interaction in here, more talking with their mouths instead of d*cks like they did in book 8.
