For some reason I just didn’t feel quite as much urgency.
To me the mystery part of the plot wasn’t quite as exciting as in earlier books. From the Inner Harbour, to the aquarium, to hanging out in Fells Point, the story really hits on the hotspots in the area and feels really grounded in the city. Living in the DC/Baltimore suburbs, I was familiar with many of the places in the story and the authors really capture the neighborhoods and the landmarks well. I really enjoyed the suspense and action portion of the story as Ty and Zane are back home in Baltimore. However I do really like both Ty and Zane and they continue to be great characters and really likeable guys, both individually and together. But I would like to see that in action a bit more, rather than just being told. We hear a lot about how his reticence to accept his feelings is due to his need to analyze and turn things over in his mind rather than react emotionally. At times I do wish we could see a bit more from Zane. They are moving things forward quickly enough to keep readers from getting frustrated, but still giving us growth and change in each book. I think Urban and Roux are doing a nice job in pacing the relationship between Ty and Zane. And the authors really up the intensity as one of the men faces a serious injury and the guys have to navigate new struggles as they deal with the aftermath of the attack and the effects on both men. Zane is still dealing with his own feelings as well as trying to work through his response to Ty’s declaration. Here were really move forward with the romantic side of things as the men deal with the aftermath of Ty’s confession of love from Fish & Chips. As the Cut & Run series continues, the relationship between the two men deepens as they learn to accept and acknowledge their growing love for one another. With Divide & Conquer, Urban and Roux once again gives us an exciting suspense story combined with the ever developing romance between Ty and Zane. As the pair face injuries and increasing violence, they must race to figure out who is behind the crime wave before more lives are lost, including their own. But as Ty becomes a more public face of the campaign, he also draws the attention and the anger of the bomber. In an effort to help improve public relations a bit, Ty is also assigned to run a softball league bringing together all the various first responder groups throughout the city. The bombings in particular are causing death and destruction, striking fear in the hearts of the local citizens. The city is facing some turmoil in the form of bombings, bank robberies, and the resulting public backlash against law enforcement for their failure to stop the criminals. Ty and Zane, along with their fellow FBI agents, are working to find out who is behind the crimes. Ty Grady and Zane Garrett are back in Baltimore after completing their most recent undercover assignment.
