Cat's Review of Figuring it out Together (Partners book 3) by Jamie Lynn Miller with Excerpt @JamieLynnAuthor @TTCBooksandmore

First introduced in Christmas Together (Partners: Book 2), Reese Danby and Jordan Rothchild now take center stage in their own story!

One man vows to never love again. The other pledges to win his heart.

British Intelligence agent Reese Danby is a man adrift. After losing his longtime partner, Reese finds himself missing that deep connection, that unwavering bond, of someone always by his side.

Enter his newly assigned partner, rookie agent Jordan Rothchild. Jordan is everything Reese could want in a partner…and so much more.

There’s no denying the spark Reese feels the moment he lays eyes on Jordan. A spark which Reese ruthlessly quashes. For not only is Reese's true sexuality a closely guarded secret, but a devastating personal loss has left him emotionally wounded, unable to surrender his heart to another man. But then an unexpected encounter reveals he and Jordan share the same hidden truth…and mutual attraction.

Under Jordan’s gentle, encouraging affection, Reese’s walls slowly crumble, and he dares risk falling in love again. One beautiful night spent together changes everything between them, but in the next breath will also break both their hearts.

As past pain collides with present danger, Reese navigates treacherous terrain, both professionally and emotionally, finally realizing his terrible mistake of pushing Jordan away.

But is it too late for a second chance? Or has Reese’s fear cost him love and happiness?

Figuring It Out Together is a slow burn, second chance gay romance with a HEA, featuring special appearances by Liam Bancroft and Colin Mason from Books 1 and 2.

Cat gives this Book 5 Meows with a 3 purr heat index...

Hi Y’all! Come in sit for a full English and a Cuppa while I tell you about this book I just read.  

The title is Figuring it out by Jamie Lynn Miller and it is book 3 in the Partners series. You probably can read as a stand alone, but would enjoy it more read in order. 

The cover is very sweet, then I read the blurb and it really got my interest because; emotional pain, loss of a partner and secrets. Plus I read the other two and loved Colin and Liam.

Who’s my favorite main character? This is a hard choice. I'm going with Reece. I just really felt his pain. 

Was there another character I loved and why? I was so thrilled to see more Colin and Liam.

The story has so many settings. There is work, Reece's flat, Jordans moms' hotel, lots of things they do there, places they go on jobs, some safe houses. Just lots of great settings.

Were there significant plot twists and turns? Oh yes. All I will say is what can you expect from a book about spies? Lots of action! 

The story is a slow burn romantic suspense and I loved the ending. It was an HEA but I bet there is more.  

If you like slow burn, second chance, and wanted more Liam and Colin, oh, and spies! You will  love this book.

EXCERPT:

“Here,” Liam said, reaching a hand out for the camera. “Give it over and let me get one of you and Jordan.”


Reese’s pulse spiked and he flicked a glance at his partner, who nodded his head.


“Great idea.” Jordan nudged Reese. “C’mon, Ace.”


The four men swapped positions, Liam now holding the camera. Reese felt instantly awkward as he stood up against the railing, having no idea how to appropriately pose for the picture. But Jordan gave him that smile, the one that made Reese’s stomach flutter, the one that reminded him all over again how hard he was falling for his partner.


Without hesitation, Jordan draped his arm over Reese’s shoulders, pressed up close against him. Reese’s breath caught at the contact, as he instinctively wrapped his own arm around the younger man’s shoulders as well. Jordan looked forward then, smiling now for the picture, and Reese did the same. 


As the shutter clicked, Reese couldn’t help but wonder if he’d given himself away, if the camera’s lens had captured his barely repressed emotions that kept threatening to break free, for all the world to see.


For Jordan to see.





Jamie Lynn Miller has been writing fiction since childhood and decided to take the plunge and go pro in 2008, finding to her amazement that people truly enjoyed her love stories. She’s a romantic at heart, and her tales reflect the desire we all have to find “the one,” persevering through trials and heartache for that happy ending.

Jamie has a degree in fine arts and has spent the last twenty years working as a graphic designer, though she’d much rather be writing. She was born in Chicago and still lives there today with her husband and their two furry, four-footed children, er… cats.

If she’s not brainstorming story ideas, you can find Jamie at a sci-fi convention, in front of a furnace doing glass blowing, or on a mat twisted into a yoga pose.
