inconceivably 's review for:
Ball & Chain
by Abigail Roux
I loved this addition to the series, you guys! Check out my non-spoilery thoughts on my blog. I'm gonna include some spoilery things here....
I'll be honest. I was worried about there being too much Nick & Kelly in this book. I adore them, and I was already on their bandwagon after finishing T&G before realizing other people were too! But still - this was supposed to be Ty & Zane's turn.
I realized a few things while I was reading, though. For one thing - Nick & Kelly ARE important. I mean, come on. There are very few people more important in Ty's world than his buddies. He and Nick have a lot of issues that need to be dealt with before Ty can "ride off into the sunset."
Also, the C&R series itself began - and will end - with that freaking drug cartel. The story arc of the series has always been headed there, plot-wise. But now, we also have the Sidewinder series offshoot. I feel pretty confident that Ty & Zane will be popping up there just as often as Nick & Kelly have popped up in the Cut & Run books. Those friendships run both ways!
Plus, there was still plenty of awesome Ty & Zane moments. There might not have been a lot of sexy moments - but let's take quality over quantity, shall we? I'll be happy to argue to the ground that the hottest scene yet was included in this installment.
Also: the proposals. Please, I swoon. I have spent a lot of time trying to decide what the best proposal for them would be - romantic, funny, off the cuff? I would like to give Abigail Roux one huge pat on the back for giving us ALL of those possibilities.
As for Nick & Kelly's proposal - that was a gorgeous scene. The contrast of the way they became engaged so quickly vs. Ty and Zane's situation was so great! Neither situation was better than the other, it just fit the different characters' personalities. (Part of me does wish it had taken place in their series instead though, I must admit.)
Anyway - bottom line? I loved this installment!
