This is the first book in the series where Ty and Zane get to focus on their happiness and the strength of their relationship as a gay couple. I'm looking forward to enjoying the rest of the books with him as narrator.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? He seems an excellent study, already extremely comfortable with the material. His voice characterizations for both protagonists are spot on. Harding was a great choice for finishing this series. What was one of the most memorable moments of Stars & Stripes? I would recommend the whole Cut & Run series, with this book as probably my favorite. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? The relationship and character development have been ongoing even if the case is solved by the end of the story. This book is part of an ongoing series story arc so really shouldn't be listened to out of order. And props to Barnum the tiger with the floppy ear and love at first sight for Ty who is terrified of large cats. One adores his dad and wants a dad like him, but his mother is a piece of work that I wanted to pinch and hug Zane every time she'd tear off a chunk of him with her cold-hearted words or behavior. But Ty's entire Grady family can't be missed. The main characters are always memorable for their dialogue and characters and relationship set against the background of working a case.

Nope, can't be done narrowing it down to one. Who was the most memorable character of Stars & Stripes and why? No one scene- both 'coming out to the family' scenes are the hold your breath types, little moments when Ty or Zane would revel in why each loves his partner, and I loved the shooting competition. Dialogue, tone, and just overall story are hard to beat. I prefer this series because it is multi-faceted running deep on character and relationship development, providing a complex mystery, and some pretty exciting action and passion scenes. I think JD Robb's In Death series is the only other one I've read that I like as much. This book is part of what I consider one of the best romantic suspense series out there though it's hard for me to compare because most of the ones I've read don't stick with the same main characters all the way through. What other book might you compare Stars & Stripes to and why? The narrator, JF Harding, captured the characters and told me a story so well that I felt like I was in the middle of everything and engaging in the action.

But that said, the audio version was a fantastic option that I wouldn't want to miss.

No, they are both a wonderful way to experience the story.

Would you consider the audio edition of Stars & Stripes to be better than the print version? Going Home Isn't Easy- Humorous & Passionate Susp.
