He also owns a giant, scary looking dog named Chickie Baby.
36 year old Deputy US Marshall Ian Doyle, a product of a broken home, currently (and reluctantly) re-establishing a relationship with his estranged father after the death of his mother and dating a beautiful, understanding woman named Emma. 31 year old Deputy US Marshal Miro Jones, raised in an unloving, neglected foster home environment, he considers his four female college roommates and fellow Marshalls his family.
She gives her characters quirks and flaws, strengths and weaknesses, all in outstanding, meticulous detail.Īll Kinds of Tied Down tells the story of two US Marshalls. When she gets it wrong, it's a rare occasion and usually a minority group who think so, and when she gets is right, it is a wonder to behold for all lovers of the M/M romance genre. Re-read August 2015: I loved this even more the second time! The sequel CANNOT come soon enough!Īs the vast majority of you reading this review already know, Mary Calmes is kind of THE shit when it comes to writing M/M romance novels. I don't mind action in my books, but at times here it felt like filler.Ĭalmes writes well, and the story was fairly enjoyable (if too long), but I didn't think it was a standout. It was long, and many of the details were unnecessary. The main issue I had is that the book meandered. The tension between Ian and Miro was palpable even after they came together. I liked Ian he was gruff and a total wild card. I liked the steam in this book it was hot, a little rough, but also tender. When Miro finally realizes at 60 percent in that Ian needs to be handled, needs to submit, the spark is lit.
Ian is afraid of being hurt, of being left. The guys in All Kinds of Tied Down are federal marshals, and Miro is pining for his straight ( *scoffs*) best friend Ian. We have the first-person POV (Miro's in this case) the best friend and partner who's straight/in the closet the waiting and unrequited crush the drama along the way (bad guys to catch, cases to solve) many secondary characters and a cherry-topped ending. Mary Calmes has a certain formula that appeals to a lot of people, although it felt a little recycled and trite to me here.
Let me start by saying that if you're a big Calmes fan, you may love this book, and that's great.
