Despite what happened to Rowe in the last book i think this is the most I've laughed/smiled at a book in this series. The tequila scene with Snow, the bit at the end with the code names just to name a few. But at the same time, i think it was hard for the authors to write something that was going to make us fall in love with this couple like we--well I--did with the previous two simply because we got to know Rowe's wife for a while and to lose her like he did was hard. But i am glad he found love again.

The other main plot to this series. Jagger. That was a bit of a shocker at the end of this and i cannot wait for our boys to kick his head in. Seriously, what an arse he is. Criminal underworld boss extraordinaire. While Ian and the cop are falling in love in the next book i want them plotting a big ruse to ruin him!

Can't wait for book 4!

"It’s a French movie. Came out, like, four or five years ago. It feels to me like the French The Godfather. That would be one way of describing it. It’s about a French-Algerian guy who goes to jail, and watching him work the system of being in jail amongst the — sort of, like, negotiating a specific French jail, and how he’s able to navigate a very tricky world of his Muslim identity, French identity, criminal identity and drug-dealing identity, all these various things. It’s super intense and a super beautifully laid out story. It’s a crazy-engaging movie. Came out in 2010. I would highly recommend that. [Director Jacques Audiard] came out with another movie called Rust and Bone in the last couple years. I just remember seeing [A Prophet] and I was really blown away by it. When I saw it, it genuinely felt like watching The Godfather, watching Al Pacino as a younger man slowly navigate and figure out how to dominate a world that seems to be, you know, overwhelming him."
