Cut & Run (Cut & Run #1) by Madeleine Urban, Abigail Roux ★★★☆☆

A young Jason Lewis by the rocky shore giving the camera a steamy look the caption reads Zane was starting to piss him off again Which was good he supposed It meant the urge to lick him all over was passing at least
The Good: Original, complicated MCs, sexy sex, and an interesting set of serial murders.

The Bad: If this was a movie it would be shot in extreme closeups where all you saw was the nuanced emotions crossing the actors faces, not really what I want out of my crime drama. 

Seventy percent of this book is the two MC talking to each other, and themselves introspectively, about their relationship. That is a whole lot of, Does he like me? Do I like him? How much do I like him?, for any guy.  Especially these guys, they say all the time they don't want to talk, or even sometimes think, about how they feel about one another.  

The murder mystery dwindled even though it started off well. Also, there were no secondary characters of note leaving the story claustrophobic - it also left the murderer obvious.

I might read another story in the hope that now that the MCs have established their relationship it will leave more room for plot and secondary characters - in short, a little J.D. Robb infusion.
