Ball & Chain by Abigail Roux

5.0

---

I finally read this one and, oh boy, it's never a miss with Abigail Roux.

I love Ty and Zane so damn much! I love their personalities, the way they think and feel and do things, how they are inside and out, but above all, I love who they are when they're together. I love them together, period.

These guys were always meant to be. Their love is a written-in-the-stars-more-than-life-itself-even-beyond-death kind of love and I'm just so damn glad I was with them every step of the way.

You have no idea how I feel inside knowing that after everything they went through, after all the pain and shock and traumatic experiences, they have something special, powerful and unique. They have each other and something that I would say transcends life itself.

I'm getting misty-eyed, I'm afraid. It's just that the idea the journey is coming to an end is making me sad and more than slightly panicked.

Moving on, Ball & Chain was just as awesome as the other books in the series.

This time, Ty and Zane travel to Scotland, in the company of Nick O'Flaherty and Kelly Abbot, to attend Ty's brother, Deuce's wedding,that is going to take place on a private island.

But nothing is ever easy when it comes to our beloved heroes, so of course there is crime, murder and mayhem in the middle of all this.

Also, Nick is going through a hard time dealing with feelings of anger and betrayal toward Ty, due to past situations involving Richard Burns and that, adding to the angst surrounding the entire thing with his father, creates a lot of interesting drama.

The fact that Roux was able to make me love Nick, when I used to think he was a huge fucker who only wanted to steal Ty from Zane shows how talented a writer she is.

I really came to admire him, his dedication, love and loyalty toward his friends and how he was always there to support and cheer everybody up, while being hurting really bad himself.

I understood his position and how he felt he had lost Ty, because he didn't listen when it came to Burns, but I also felt hurt for Ty and everything Nick said in anger.

I hope this doesn't change anything in their relationship. That would be a shame.

And that tidbit about who was behind the events that happened in the island? It left me nervous as hell. I hope that person doesn't succeed in his plans.

That remains to be seen, though, so I'll wait anxiously for the next book, even though it might very well be the last one and that makes me want to crawl into the next corner and wail like a banshee.

OMG! The feels!

How am I supposed to wait a freaking year after that cliffhanger from hell?
