review 1: Three the Hard Way Sydney Croft Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviewsGenre: Gay & Lesbian, Mystery & Thrillers Well, I hold my hand up - its my fault this book wasn’t quote what I expected. Its book seven in a series and I hadn’t realised that....my bad, I should have researched further.Its easy enough to work out what's gone before and what's happening now, and that sounds a fun and interesting series. This focuses on the three guys meeting up over just a few days and for me I needed more time, this short interval just didn’t give me enough story. It was a hot, sexy interlude in what I suspect is a series I’d really enjoy, about secret agencies and people with extraordinary paranormals abilities. As it was though with them being enemies to lovers over just a few ... moredays was a step too far for me, it didn’t feel realistic and though it was a good book, a decent read it wasn’t one I really was taken with or that I’d re read. Stars: Three, a good book if you follow the series. ARC supplied by Netgalley and publishers
review 2: As a fan of m/m books I just gobble them up, and with the inclusion of paranormal powers, I was ready for one heckuva ride with this read. What I ultimately got was a satisfying story with just a few quibbles to keep it from being great.Justice and Taggart grew up with only each other to count on. Their mothers kept them as hidden as possible when they were young as they have special abilities that had them targeted as medical specimens. They were as close as could be until they had a falling out that left Taggart running. In their years apart Taggart moved on with Ian until Ian sold him out to be tortured by the enemy. Once Taggart escaped he ran back to where he always felt safest....back in Justice's arms. Ian's not far behind though, desperate to make amends. With the enemy looking for Taggart too these three men must work together to fight the enemy off as well as their growing attraction in this story that's full of twists and edge of your seat suspense.Tag and Justice had an unbreakable bond, even with past hurts they would always be there for each other. Their reunion was sweet and teeming with sexual tension and I loved seeing their strong youthful connection morph into endearing and sensual banter in a believable adult relationship. Ian's part in the triad was a bit more unbelievable considering his betrayal of Tag. That's not to say that Ian's not sexy but he should've had to grovel more before he earned a place back in Tag's bed. Each man is appealing in their own way with distinct personalities that work well together. Their sexual connection is hot but as a whole I never felt that their triad was based on love, it was more attraction based on sex and the other's needs to make Tag happy.Though this book can be read on its own I wish more information had been given about ACRO and their purpose. I enjoyed the inclusion of these men's special powers too but would've liked to know more about where they came from. Though this book can be read on its own I think more of my questions would've been answered had I read the rest of the series. Those looking for hot m/m loving with suspenseful storytelling will definitely want to grab this book! less
