Balanced and Tied by Mary Calmes
4.0
I want to start off by saying I love this series. The Marshals series is like going home for me. If I am feeling burnt out by life or reading, this series always makes me feel better.
For the most part, I enjoyed this book. I loved Eli and Cel. I enjoyed them as a couple as well as their "just friends" stage. I enjoyed how everyone around them assumed they were already a couple before they became official. I also enjoyed the angst, which was minimal. Calmes is great at dialogue and backstories, which this book was full of. Overall, it was a fun book to read.
While I did enjoy the bulk of this book, there were a few things I wish Calmes had done better. I wish we were able to see more of the relationship between Cel and Eli's mom. Yes, we knnew they were close but it wasn't touched on as much as I've would have liked. When Miro and Ian were friends (see book one), we saw how much Ian know about Miro's friends and how they interacted. I also felt the sex scene was boring. It wasn't the worst but it could've been better. Having Eli who has no sexual experience with men become an expert so quickly was a hard idea to swallow.
Despite all my criticisms, I enjoyed this book and would definitely read it again.
