Y’all, I am utterly obsessed with this series. Like hardcore. All of these books have such a different vibe to them yet the incredible relationship between Ty and Zane just keeps building.
In this one they are undercover as a gay couple on a cruise ship, tracking down some international art smugglers and we got to see a whole new side to Zane and Ty; with Ty in a more submissive twink role and Zane as a criminal mastermind (in their undercover roles obvs). There were so many twists and turns and of course so much hurt/comfort I could die.
This series is the gift that just keeps on giving.

*SIGH* I really don't understand why I don't love these guys like everyone else, but I'm about done with them. I liked book 2 better than book 1, but with this book, I'm back to being bored, and I really don't like Ty or Zane. They have no connection. They never communicate, just use sex to avoid talking, like that's going to help their relationship. When things get rough, they pull back. There's no discussing their struggles, just assuming the other will get upset or doesn't want to talk about because they don't want to get serious. In a previous book Ty knows something is going on with Zane, but instead of trying to talk to him, he just gets mad and starts staying at his own apartment to avoid Zane. When one does try to have a serious conversation, the other pulls back. They are afraid of confrontation and avoid it at all costs, rather than getting it out in the open and talking about it. There was a part in this book where Zane knew Ty was lying, but he didn't want to start a fight, so he let it go. And they do things like this all of the time. They also realize that they don't know each other all that well even though they've been together for a while now. How about you try communicating? That's how actual adult couples get to know each other. So frustrating!
I think for my sanity and my high BP I'm going to have to stop reading these guys.

The Cut & Run series is my guilty pleasure. I’ll just say it plainly – this really isn’t something one reads for scintillating plot – and Fish & Chips fully embodied that notion. The plot was thin. It was fairly implausible, okay - really implausible. Frankly it actually made little sense. Criminals working together in a high dollar operation – dealing in art antiquities and rare gems – and they don’t even know what each other looks like? They’ve never met? Mmmm…I’d certainly trust complete strangers with incriminating evidence that could get me sent up the river – not.
But it’s not about the plot. The plot is just a back drop for the Punch & Judy show (or the Zane & Ty show as the case may be) and I am surprisingly A OK with that. Honestly I could read a 1000 page novel based on Ty and Zane running errands. Because yes, they’re that damn cute together. F&C, just like the first 2 books in the series is all about the relationship and character development. In this installment, going undercover as an openly gay couple gives Ty the opportunity to really explore where his orientation lies. And despite being bi, he concludes that he does “flamingly gay” pretty well too. He tells Zane he loves him – which is awesome – and despite his issues both known and hinted at – he actually seems to be the more emotionally stable of the 2.
Zane has an opportunity to work on his myriad of issues – starting with his addictions – and also moving on from his past. It was nice to see him keep his wedding ring off. There is grieving and there is pathological grieving – and Zane’s inability up to that point to reach acceptance and turn towards his future – was just unhealthy.
There is also a decent amount of hot Zane & Ty sex to make up for the flagrant lack of plot – and seriously – who needs plot anyway – it just interferes with the boys having 1 on 1 time. (Of course there are still a decent amount of near death experiences). Their constant misunderstandings of each other’s emotions and intentions is frustrating – but then I supposed if we went right to “I love you, I love you too, all our issues are resolved” – then we’d be at the end of the series and I don’t want to be there yet because this is too much fun.
