Tied up in Knots

Marshals, Book 3

De: Mary Calmes

Narrado por: Tristan James

Miro Jones is living the life; he's got his exciting, fulfilling job as a US deputy marshal, his gorgeous Greystone in suburban Chicago, his beloved adopted family, and most importantly, the man who captured his heart, Ian Doyle. Problem is, Ian isn't just his partner at work - Ian's a soldier through and through. That commitment takes him away from Miro, unexpectedly and often, and it's casting a shadow over what could be everything Miro could ever dream of.

Work isn't the same without Ian. Home isn't the same, either, and Miro's having to face his fears alone...how to keep it together at the office, how to survive looming threats from the past, and worst of all, how to keep living without Ian's rock-solid presence at his side. His life is tied up in knots, but what if unknotting them requires something more permanent? What would that mean for him and Ian? Miro's stuck between two bad choices, and sometimes the only way to get out of the knot is to hold tight to your lifeline and pull.

Worth listening to

The beginning of the story is really slow and I almost quit listening. But the rest of the story is what I’ve come to love with this series with all the characters and twists and turns.

The narrator is the same: good but not excellent.

Confused

This is a good book with good narration. I love Ian and Miro, but got a bit tired of the angst in their relationship. I just didn't feel the love with all the fighting.
I am pleased the story ended with a HFN, but there were too many plot holes left for me to feel this is all over. Why the tie in to Rhys' series early in the book and never really mentioning them again? Also, Hartley. There's more to this story too.
When will the next one be available?

5+ Stars!!

Any additional comments?

You know how sometimes when you want something really, really badly and you have to wait a really long time for it, and you keep getting assured it’s “coming soon”, but you really want it now and then you get it and you’re disappointed with the final product?

Yeah, you don’t have to worry – the wait was worth it because Tristan James once again rocks this out!

The narration for Tied up in Knots was incredible and so entertaining that I immediately re-listened…to all almost ten hours of awesomeness.

THIS. This is what perfection is. God! The cameos, the action, the sex, the romance, the suspense…it was all on point. So many things that happen in this story are awesome and Mary Calmes just delivered on every promise of greatness made. This series just keeps getting better!

So what do you need to know? The story is once again told entirely from Miro’s POV. There are cameos aplenty…some of which will probably shock you (in the best way), a ton of suspense, some humor, and even some *gasp* worthy moments.

This story grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. Tied Up In Knots is an absolute gem in this series, polished to a brilliant, glittering shine and contains just enough setup to know the continuation of the series will be just as badass and kickass as the first three books.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Great Sequel for a Great Series

I love the Marshalls series. There is just something about Ian and Miro. Their story is a fairytale,.. Kinda... Maybe... If Quentin Tarantino were writing it.

This installment picks up with Ian being away on a four month op and Miro being loaned out to the DEA on the west coast. Of course Miro finds all sorts of trouble to get into out there. As he's headed home he gets the call that Ian is heading home too. For the first time, Ian asks Miro to pick him up from the airport with his team.

Miro starts hoping for some normalcy when Bam, the military life rears it's ugly head again. Several people from Ian's old unit have died and the government brass think that someone is trying to kill the whole team. Ian heads to Washington to try to figure out what's going on, meanwhile Craig Hartley has escaped from prison again.

Ian and Miro have some tough choices to make. Can Miro stand by Ian when's he gone for as much time as he's home? Can Miro live with the anxiety everyday of not knowing whether Ian is going to come home safe? Is Hartley coming after Miro again?

This story wraps up in stunning fashion, as I've come to expect from this series. I can't wait to see where the next story takes us, hopefully their is a wedding involved.

These characters are some of my favorites, the story was entertaining and fast paced. I'm kinda over the Hartley story line, I know the storyline was left open so he could possibly return in a later book, but please Jesus let Miro be. I can't handle the stress of him being kidnapped and tortured again.

I think Tristan James is perfect for this series. The Chicago accent is great, it's gritty and tough and perfect for Ian and Miro. I will admit Kage sounds damn good too.

Sinner's Gin meet the Marshals!

Easter Egg City!
We start off in San Francisco and Mary lets Miro meet Kane and Connor from Rhys Ford’sSinners series. Then we see the PI from Floodgates, we hear about the ASA from Parting Shot, of course we see a lot of Sam from the Matter of Time series, and Duncan and Dreo from Acrobat. Everybody is in this!
It was fun. It was HARD – at times- and I was this close to throwing a tantrum and crying and screaming – literally – but I got over it. (I thought for a moment that Amy Lane was going to lose her thrown for a minute but… nah, she gets to keep it!)
The sensual times are off the roof in this – our boys relationship has deepened and gotten so, so, so hot. There are some very deep feels in this:
“You’re all mine now.”
I had always been his, from the moment we met.
“Gimme kiss.”
Like he ever needed to ask.
I was taken totally surprised by the twisty turny ending drama and a bit grossed out too – Mary – you can be a little dark and twisty can’t you?
But most of all I just loved this and was so, so grateful for the ending.
For fans of the series you’ll be in heaven, if you haven’t read the series it just won’t be as magnificent – and really you almost need to have read all her books! Almost!
I kept expecting Cy and Weber to show up too…;)
Thank God for Chickie – loved meeting Josue and hope we get his story soon – and am hoping we get to hear more about Dreo again 🙂
Loved this and give it 5 of 5 stars.

MMMMM Tristan James. If you’re a fan, you know he’s been narrating the entire series so far, and – THANK GOD- he’s narrating this segment. What makes this extra awesome, is that he’s the narrator for Rhys Ford’s Sinner’s series as well, so all those YUMMY Irish accents the Morgans have he can deliver! It’s the PERFECT blend of the two series, delivered by the same narrator!

In addition, he gives us some other wonderful accents – the vaguely Midwestern/Chicagoan of Miro and Ian’s co-workers, Sam Kage’s gruff alpha male voice, and the creepy Dr Hartley.

You MUST listen to this if you haven’t – this is a series BEST listened to (though reading is awesome too!)
