Calvin Summers and Ethan Hobbs have been best friends since childhood, but somewhere along the line, their friendship evolved into something more. With the Therian Youth Center bombing, Calvin realizes just how short life can be and no longer keeps his feelings for his best friend a secret.

o this one , while a good story, felt like it dragged a bit. It took me a while to figure it out. This book had the main love interest and all of the conflict and challenge that pulls with it, but it also served as a 'fill in the gaps' and 'tidy up some hanging edges' book. The overarching enemy plot was missing - or put on hold in the background - which resulted in some slow parts. Still, having said that, I can not wait to start on the next and see where it takes me.

4.5 stars for the book


Well....I loved this more that Ash & Cael's book.

Calvin and Ethan are Relationship goals.



Since i am too tired to write a proper review, i will just list why i loved this:

- The chemistry.. these two had a believable chemistry, after all they have been best friends since childhood.

- It was nice to finally get into Ethan's head and understand his Selective Mutism and Social Anxiety, and how the team understood him. It is like they have developed some kind of mental abilities to communicate with Ethan. We get to know how much Calvin has been supportive of Ethan, and protecting him from mean, judgemental people.

- The Banter and the Humor, damn! this series just brings joy to my life. The moving day scene was the best

Ash, Cael, and Ethan were in their Therian forms, and they’d turned the living room into their personal Felid playground. Ethan was nestled inside the huge box, though he hardly fit. His big tiger butt was sticking up in the air while Ash chased Cael around the box, packing peanuts flying every which way. Dex, Letty, and Rosa were on the couch. Letty was painting Dex’s toenails, and Rosa was styling Dex’s hair.
“What the hell is going on here?”
“Check it out, babe.” Dex lifted a foot. “Blazing Blue Bombshell. Letty says it matches my eyes.”


Dex is just the best.

- The Sex.. These two are so kinky and Ethan's possessive side was so Hot!

“You’re mine,” Ethan hissed, his thrusts growing deep and fast. “I don’t want him to ever lay a hand on you again. You spread your legs and your ass only for me.”
Calvin arched his back, his whole body trembling with need. His lips were parted, and his breath came out ragged as Ethan pumped himself into him, the sound of skin slapping skin urging Ethan on. He wanted Calvin to feel him for days, a reminder of who he belonged to. The feral beast inside Ethan roared and clawed at him, enraged by the thought that someone else might make Calvin come.
“Say it,” Ethan ordered, pulling out and then plunging himself deep into Calvin’s ass.
“Oh God! I’m yours, Ethan. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”


I had to Google The Art of Shibari yaap! kinky bastards

- The training sessions provided some much needed action.

Overall i enjoyed it alot. Cal and Ethan were amazing together.

In every one of the THIRDS books I find at least one thing that pisses me off enough to think I'm over with the series.
This time, it was the way every time Ethan thought something, everyone around him acted as if he said it. Oh well :/
It ends in a major cliffhanger though, so I'll probably read the next one at least. ( )

Ma WTF?! Cos'è 'sto cliffhanger da paura? Datemi il seguitooooooooooooooo

Voi ce l'avete un comfort book?
Un libro, o magari un autore, che vi tenete per i momenti difficili? Che sapete che (ri)leggendo sicuramente starete bene?
Per me, il mio confort book, è la serie Thirds. Ma è più di un libro, direte voi. Eh sì, mi piace esagerare. Mi piace poter scegliere tra risate (1 e 2), dolcezza (5 e 6) e seriosità (3 e 4). Mi piace sapere che questa autrice è in grado di avvolgermi come la mia coperta preferita e farmi stare al caldo.

Arrivando da un volume cinque bello, ma che non mi aveva conquistata al cento per cento, (qui la recensione) ero un po' scettica a iniziare questo nuovo capitolo perché temevo di nuovo quella sensazione di insoddisfazione che i Thirds non mi hanno abituata a provare.
Ci sono volute circa due pagine perché mi rendessi conto che il ritmo della storia di Calvin e Hobbs era completamente diverso dal quella su Cael e Ash e la cosa non ha fatto altro che illuminarmi a giorno.
---------
«Sei tu a definirti, Ethan. Non le tue medicine, non il mutismo né nessun altro. Tu.»
---------
La trama è estremamente semplice, ma è il giusto ponte di collegamento nella pausa che la storia di Dex e Sloane sì è presa attraverso le storie degli altri elementi della squadra.
Rispetto al volume precedente, qui abbiamo più azione anche se sempre limitata. Esploriamo il ruolo di Calvin come cecchino e cosa comporta per lui questo ruolo sia come membro della Destructive Delta, sia come essere umano.
Dall'altro lato abbiamo Hobbs, una tigre teriana che però ha molto del cucciolotto. È impossibile non desiderare di abbracciarlo. I suoi problemi sono importanti e gli rendono la vita più difficile di quello che già normalmente è, eppure lui va avanti. Come? Grazie a Calvin ovviamente.
Non è solo una storia d'amore, è prima di tutto una storia di amicizia. Il rapporto fra i protagonisti è più profondo rispetto a quello degli altri componenti della squadra perché più vecchio, più radicato.
Certo Dex e Sloane non si battono e restano sempre i miei preferiti, ma Calvin e Hobbs si assicurano il secondo posto sul podio senza difficoltà.
---------
La porta si chiuse, e Ethan gettò le mani in aria. «Già, non posso abbassare la guardia per un minuto. Quei due non riescono a togliersi le mani di dosso. È stupefacente che escano di casa tutte le mattine.»
Calvin fece spallucce prima di andare verso il muro di scatole. «È piuttosto dolce, però. Voglio dire, amare qualcuno così tanto da non riuscire a non toccarlo quando ti è vicino, volerlo sempre tra le tue braccia. Come se sia doloroso stare lontano l’uno dall’altro. Sono fortunati.»
---------
Tra l'altro, una cosa che ho apprezzato tantissimo è la costante presenza della squadra. In "Contro ogni logica" la storia è girata quasi interamente intorno ad Ash e Cael. Sì, Dex era presente perché in quanto fratello di Cael era inevitabile, ma qui ci sono proprio tutti e inevitabilmente non mancano le scene che fanno piegare dal ridere.
Tipo quella della scatola.
Voglio il cartaceo solo per poter rileggere quella scena ogni volta che mi gira.
In più viene introdotta in maniera molto più esplicita la relazione fra l'altro Hobbs (Seb) e Hudson e ammetto di non vedere l'ora di poter leggere anche di loro.
Ma prima... prima devo assolutamente avere tra le mani il settimo volume perché accidenti alla Cochet (no, non è vero, vivi altri cent'anni, donna!) non può chiudere un libro con un cliffhanger del genere.
La gente sta male poi. Ho l'ansia adesso.
---------
«Ottomila agenti nel quartier generale, e voi ragazzi dovete frequentarvi l’un l’altro. Do la colpa a Dex.»
Ethan lo guardò inarcando un sopracciglio.
«Se succede qualcosa di pazzesco, guarda caso quel ragazzo è nei paraggi. E diffonde la pazzia. Ma dannazione, gli voglio bene. Anche se ha trasformato la mia squadra in un grosso festival hippie dell’amore. Posso offrirti qualche consiglio? Da un tizio che ha due figli con dei fidanzati emotivamente sottosviluppati? Più a lungo provi a ignorare la cosa, più gli farai del male. Le cose sono cambiate. Non puoi tornare a come erano prima. E di sicuro non puoi permettere che ciò ostacoli la vostra prestazione, o la Sparks ve la farà pagare.» ( )

I've loved every book in the THIRDS series including this one.

The main couple in Catch a Tiger by the Tail is Calvin and Ethan. They have been best friends since they were children. I adore best friends to lovers stories, such deep and layered love. C&E aren't just best friends. They grew up almost like family. Even their mothers became best friends. First Ethan gave me the feels when I saw inside his head. Expressing himself is sometimes such a burden, but Cal's faith in him gives him courage. He wants so much to be strong in return. Then, I saw the real Cal. He has always been the strong one for everyone. It's tough to pick who I love more.

If you're missing the other guys, don't worry. The whole gang is very present in this installment. The heart and humor floating in the air when the team is together are joy overload for me. I can't get enough of their interactions. Romances, friendships and family relationships get those emotions flowing.

Of course, THIRDS has drama to manage in the outside world also. There's still something going on in the overall series, a big unknown with pieces in each book. Several instances of citizen unrest fall on the shoulders of the gang as well.

One of my favorite scenes is the Felids Gone Wild bit while they're moving. It ticked me so much. The sex scenes are super yummy, hot and sweet. And that ending! I can't wait for the next installment.
