Newly Tied

Marshals, Book 7

De: Mary Calmes

Narrado por: Greg Boudreaux

For the last six months, Deputy US Marshal Delroy McCabe has been secretly pining for his partner, Langston Ross. He’s kept his desires to himself because he wants to do a good job and prove himself at work. More importantly, if Lang were to find out his true feelings, maybe the person he cares for the most might walk away.

Between the understanding and support Lang gives him, as well as time with his family, Del can’t afford to slip up. But then, why does his partner and best friend care who Del sleeps with? Why, if given a choice, would Lang prefer to do anything with him? Maybe Del’s been missing something important, and perhaps Lang’s not the only one who’s not seeing what’s right in front of him. Because sometimes the strongest ties are the ones that bind our hearts.

Good story. Good narration.

This story had all the charm, action, and sweetness you can expect from Mary Calmes. The steamy scenes didn’t have the same emotional component that you might find with Ian and Miro's story, but they did have heat. The book was relatively short, but I hope this book is the beginning of another Marshals arc.

Greg Boudreaux's voice is pleasant to listen to, and I enjoy his performance. I think his narration adds deprh to the character's personalities.

Good but not great

Mary Calmes is one of my favorite authors. While I liked this book, it didn’t resonate with me like her books usually do. As soon as they realize they’re in love, the bulk of the story is just them talking about the same things over and over. There wasn’t any angst at all and even the Marshall side of things was lackluster. I liked their chemistry, I just think it needed more.

Not what I expected

For me it wasn't as good as the previous books. I wanted more character development. Greg was good, but he's done better.

Morris Marshall's for the Win!

I could literally read this series to exhaustion. Mary Calmes has the best way to give a new spin while giving drop ins from our favorite characters! And the performance? His voice is so hawt!

Yay, Greg narrates this one!

Always great to have a refresher on just how enjoyable Greg Tremblay/Boudreaux’s narration is! I love this series, I love these characters. I wish the story was Much longer & hope we see more of them.

Wonderful

Great characters, awesome story . Hope the rest of the series is as good .

I love the Marshals Series. Great addition.

Del and Lang with sprinkling of other Marshals and Hannah! I hope Mary Calmes is writing more in this universe as I simply love them!

i like the newbies

I really like Del, and he and Lang make a great team. I enjoyed the original novella and was excited for the extension. For the most part, it's good. Lang's life is fleshed out; though I'm again confounded by Calmes's need to put weird family drama in her stories that is superficial and nonsensical apologia for selfish/sometimes violently atrocious behavior (Jory version 3?4?5? from "More Than Life" anyone?).

The action and situations are always interesting. It's also nice to see the team from the perspective of new marshals, and much of the Chicago crew make a cameo. The story actually falters when they get together bc the repetitious affirmations of love/desire/ownership, etc. are exhausting. I don't care how many times the characters say they need their feelings reaffirmed, a gajillion times in one day is beyond ridiculous for ppl as close as they are. It feels like filler, and it drags the pace and dims the joy of them getting together. However, this series is carried by nostalgia and vibes for me, and this book is a nice addition.
