Finally some feelings from D, even if it's just jealousy.
And what's that unfinished business with the killer who's been killing assassins? is he ever going to get caught?

I'm not sure whether reading about them still arguing is something good or bad. I know couple argues all the time, that's what they do. But on the other hand, I like my HEA neatly wrapped with pink bows. I'm worried too much of what will happened down the road with them at each other throat and D is gone all the time.

Shorty # 2 to "Zero at the Bone" - four months later -
4 Stars
Only ten pages. A reunion at the hospital, longing, strong needs, a caveman and a little everyday bickering, and sweet, sweet D (now Anson) and lovely Jack.
Sigh - I just love them forever!
I LIKE - Everything about these boys....

“You didn’t mind?”
D looked at him. “Mind what?”
“You know. The way I just kind of ... manhandled you.”
D blushed. “Seem like I minded?”

This free short takes place about 4 months at the end of 'Zero at the Bone'. The story shows the time they spent together while D is back from his work after being weeks away. I absolutely loved the dialogues between them, and it seems like I can never get enough of this couple!
Must read for any fans of D and Jack!

Again and again Jane Seville proves what a good author she is by writing this short stories which are so GOOD. I am not a very big fan of short stories but i loved this ones and just for the simple reason that even in 13 pages you can feel the chemistry between Jack and D and how they love grows more and more every day.

Hmm there's some cute feels but also jealousy and this one threw out my image of the characters. Hearing so much about how foreboding and deadly D is, it seemed off to hear he's 'lanky' and doesn't hold muscle. And that Jack is bulking up to that extent...

D came home early from his latest job, but only to tell Jack that he has go be gone by Sunday morning to get back to another job. This short story was kind of depressing, not in a bad way though, it was still sweet and all but also so sad because you can feel how bad they both want to be together; how bad they both want to spend more time with each other but there’s still D’s job and they both know that D needs to do what he does so of course Jack supports him what doesn’t mean that he’s not mad or disappointed. They both are, even D is. He loves his job but he loves Jack more and he hates that he’s only home for a couple of days instead of three weeks if they’d actually planned.
Again Jane Seville proved what an amazing author she is. I just love her writing, it’s so emotional but also fun and really really sexy at times, like for example all of D’s and Jacks sex scenes.
“You didn’t mind?”
D looked at him. “Mind what?”
“You know. The way I just kind of ... manhandled you.”
D blushed. “Seem like I minded?”
No matter how sad or depressing this short story was, she still managed to make me laugh. I’m usually not the biggest fan of short stories though but this is different. This is like continuing being part of Jack’s and D’s life. They grew so much on me, to me it really feels like they’re real people, living some place quite in American, enjoying their relationship, trying to handle their lives; their problems like regular couples do as well. Not everything is perfect in D and Jack’s world. D is somewhat jealous and he hates being away all the time. Jack – of course – doesn’t like it either but they are just so perfect in all their imperfections. The way D is trying to make everything work; to make them both work is adorable and so awesome. And the reason he does that is because he knows that Jack makes him feel happy; that he is the one who makes him feel complete.

I really love when D shows some of his insecurities. It makes him so human. These two are just so damn cute when they argue and even cuter when they make up afterwards.
I wish those stories were longer, much longer. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we have a sequel? I checked Jane’s Facebook and January 2016 I think it was she said something on her Facebook about that there may be a sequel in the future sometime but she can’t promise us anything. I’d totally freak out if we’d get another book; I would totally spend all my freaking money to get my hands on that sequel. I wish there already was one. I’m not giving up on that though.

May 22, 20132012 Review:
As grateful as I am to Jane Seville for giving me further material to decompress with, it kind of failed.
These shorts seem to mostly be a little depressing, actually. Yeah, Jack and D are hanging in there and trying to make the relationship work, but it seriously crumbles. And we don’t really get resolution for these issues either. In one of the stories it gets to the point of Jack just because the situation with D’s absences frustrates him. And then he does not tell him about the incident. It’s… tough. For me.
So those three very brief freebie stories were not exactly joyful.

Not everything's perfect in D and Jack world, but I love seeing D trying. He's jealous and hates being away all the time. Jack doesn't like it. Yet they're still so perfect in all their imperfections. D is trying and it's awesome. He knows he's going to get drug away again for a case so he makes sure he gets home for at least a couple of days beforehand. I like seeing his insecurities rearing their head when Jack mentions another guy he knows. Even though theirs no chance in hell Jack would ever stray. These two are just so cute when they argue.

Another D and Jack quickie. These are fun, but feel like teasers for the real thing. These little snippets are keeping the story moving along at a nice pace. Hopefully D can deal with this job safely and get his butt back for good. These guys are so good together. I love seeing the little ways their relationship has grown. Ready for more!

Very cute, and I like Jack goes to the gym and D has a little surprise ^^.
Although the jealousy thing is not that great.
