Catch a Tiger by The Tail {THIRDS book #6} by @CharlieCochetTW | Spotlight Calvin Summers, Review & Giveaway

Hello all! Thank you so much for joining me today at TTC Books and More for the final stop on the Catch a Tiger by the Tail blog tour, celebrating the release of book 6 in the THIRDS series! Today I'm sharing with you the character profile of Calvin Summers.

Before Catch a Tiger by the Tail we only got snippets of Calvin's personality. We knew he was quiet, intense, at times moody, and that things between him and his best friend Ethan Hobbs were changing. Then in Rise & Fall, we got the steamy van scene where we got Calvin pushing Ethan’s buttons, and Ethan pushing back. In Catch a Tiger by the Tail we get to know all about our sexy sniper.  

ABOUT THE BOOK

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. Unfortunately, change is difficult for Ethan; most days he does well to deal with his Selective Mutism and Social Anxiety. Calvin’s confession adds a new struggle for Ethan, one he fears might cost him the friendship that’s been his whole world for as long as he can remember.

As partners and Defense Agents at the THIRDS, being on Destructive Delta is tough at the best of times, but between call-outs and life-threatening situations, Calvin and Ethan not only face traversing the challenges of their job, but also working toward a future as more than friends.

MY REVIEW
***** 5 Stars *****

I have literally been waiting for this book since I read the first book. Calvin and Hobbs have been best friends since they were children, they have a bond that is unlike anyone else on their team. Over the years that bond has only grown stronger, even if occasionally strained, the two love and depend on each other every day. That love has continually grown stronger as well, to the point that the boundaries between friends and so much more has not blurred so much as become non-existent. Each man has kept the other at arms length for fear of either losing their friendship or losing each other entirely, not to mention the strain and stress Ethan endures on a daily basis due to his social anxiety disorder. They have come to a point in their relationship recently where the strain of trying not to be a couple has become to difficult, and it's draining their focus, making them both vulnerable. 

In the middle of the issues Calvin and Hobbs are dealing with by taking their relationship to the next level, Calvin's life is threatened after a shooting on the job. Then there is the "Black Widow" as Calvin calls her, Sparks, who is on this mission to either make Destructive Delta an unstoppable team, or kill them all trying, they can't figure out which one yet. The bitch is crafty, shady and annoying. Oh but wait, there's more, when it rains it pours so Cael and Nina having a fun night out for their birthday's at Club Deketra is derailed, leaving someone close to the team fighting for their life. Destructive Delta, THIRDS as a whole actually, faces their greatest challenge yet in this book. 

This book is equal parts completely engrossing and absolutely infuriating at the same time. There is a cliff hanger, bad Author! But, I am so invested not only in this series but in these characters, that I will forgive and not so patiently await the next book. This book though, oh my my, action packed, edge of your seat suspense, sexy, passionate and Calvin has this little kink that was unexpected and perfect!! Hobbs really is this gentle giant and the thing that he cares about most is Calvin. We've seen his protective side throughout the series, but it is on a whole other level now. The Hobbs family drama is still boiling and brewing in the background, but a few things take shape and come to a head here. What I loved most about this book was seeing the way the relationship between Calvin and Hobbs stayed the same, but not. How fluid they are together and much stronger Calvin's love makes Ethan (Hobbs). 

Of course fans of the series and the Author will be chomping at the bit to get their hands on this book. But if you are a fan of hard fought love stories, shifter stories, passionate romances, sort of happy ever afters and just a well written story with three dimensional characters that are beautifully flawed, then you'll enjoy this book, this series, as well. Start at the beginning though if you are a newbie, you'll be completely lost if not.
