Thursday Thirteen is a weekly meme with a simple theme: each Thursday you blog a list of 13 things. What kind of things? Any kind! Just come up with a list theme and run with it.
J9 is here to give you 13 reasons to read the Cut & Run Series by Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux. She pushes this series a lot, and keeps pressuring me to read the first book, which she gifted me. I promise, I’ll read it soonish!
- Ty is so funny.
- Zane's darkness is intriguing.
- The emotional dance between Ty and Zane is beyond intense.
- Ty and Zane are both scared to be vulnerable to each other but compelled to try.
- I love Ty's rural family.
- I adore Ty's Sidewinders friends.
- The authors torture Ty and Zane by slowly unraveling secrets.
- Ty and Zane's sexual intimacy is scorching.
- And the emotional intimacy matches the sexual chemistry.
- I love the simultaneous humor and heat between Ty and Zane.
- The author posts snippets set in the Cut & Run world often on her tumblr and twitter accounts.
- No end in sight for the series.
- The mysteries are strong.
Have you read the Cut &Run series?
Prefect timing. I just finished Armed & Dangerous on audio. Like 5 minutes ago. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave you read the books too? If so, which format did you prefer? Debating getting them on audio...
DeleteI read books 1-2 because I didn't like the sample of the narrator. Book 3 and on has a new narrator. It took me a few chapters to get into his voice (I'm not big on male narrators) but now I love his narration.
DeleteThanks...I may try them.
DeleteI finished the first one not too long ago because of all the hype I see on twitter and I thought it was just ok. Do they get better and addicting?
ReplyDeleteDue to a Twitter frenzy I did read the Downside series by Stacia Kane and didn't like the first book up until the end and I absolutely love the series now.
I'm going to have to let J9 answer that but she's away from the internet today. She'll probably get back to you tomorrow/this weekend :)
DeleteOh yeah! The first is groundwork on Ty and Zane's relationship, just the initial salvo, if you please. The romance builds on itself, though I admit the mysteries weaken as the series goes on. I'm not gonna browbeat anyone into loving the series but I will make the cuckoo sign behind your back ;-)
DeleteI'm with you a little bit--I *like* the series, but I'm not in love with it the way most people are. That said, book #1 was easily the weakest of the series for me, and book 2 is still my favorite (best tension between personal and professional issues thus far)...

Thanks!
DeleteI love the series because it's something new for me. Romantic Suspense and M/M. I was in a PNR/UF funk and it pulls me out of that.
DeleteI've read the whole series (twice already) and I must say it's one of the BEST M/M series I've ever read. I read a lot of M/M and Abi's books are the ones I'm impatiently waiting for every time the release date comes out. Cut & Run has everything a great series should have: awesome characters, plots, action, hot action, unexpected moments, hard moments, the romance that runs so deep you want to rip your own heart out for them. It's brilliant and I can't wait for the next one (it's Nicks story, right?). Anyway, you all have to read it. Pronto! :D
ReplyDeleteYes! It's going to be Nick and Kelly's story. You did read the freebie she did on tumblr which starts their romance, right? I'm looking forward to it greatly.
DeleteI'll have to look up that freebie and read it.
