Status Updates From Spin Out (Deputy Joe, #2)

Love how Joe is so good at reading suspects and ferreting out information, but is so crap at relationship stuff and communicating

Finalllyyy, Joe getting all up in his feels. What is this salty discharge from my eyes? 😭

ohhhhh. um. yikes.

Ugh, how did I forget that Joe's POV has that weird accent & folksy-type way of speaking? It was mildly irritating but slightly amusing for a bit in the first novel...now I just want to claw out my eyes because it's not working out for me on how he's supposed to sound. It's almost like reading a book in a different language & then having to translate it in my head to figure out what he's saying. Audio version, plz.

There I was last night acting like some moon-eyed kid all messed up ‘cause Kabe got his balls in a twist about me not telling him my problems.

Geez Joe, stubborn much?

Then Dev’s face went slack. “Holy shit, it is love.”
Naw, it weren’t nowhere near that. “I’m not sure I’m ready to go that far.”
“I wasn’t ready to catch an incendiary grenade in Afghanistan, but it happened anyway.”

I'd seen more than just something, I'd seen a possibility of everything. - Forgive him, forgive him!

I don't blame Kabe for being pissed.

Goddamn, Joe, it's about fucking time you used your words. I had nearly given up on you.

Damn, Joe, were you raised by wolves? You really can't see how badly you fucked up?

Now, Joe, I know you're not experienced at relationships, but, if you want this one to last, you're going to need to work on your communication skills, and also start treating Kabe as a partner.

Just imagine to be an openly gay (kind of Mormon) Deupty (cop) out here.

Panguitch Utah, US...

Time for bed to read these last chapters. There is no sacrifice in it, these guys are incomparable to read about.

Sometimes don't you know if it's better to just be quiet or tell. ~ Our poor mountain bear have it tough .. and tougher days it becomes all the time. Poor Joe!!

Poor, Kabe. Blindsided.

.
Oops, Joe got a proper blow to the nose. Rightly!!! Well said Kabe.

Tough male declarations of love are pretty sweet sometimes. - Heartwarming cute...

I must admit that JB's text (language) is slightly enigmatic and cloudy. It's hard to really understand what's being said at all times. Hope I don't misunderstand the plot itself.

Oh la la, Joe is a man in my taste.
I'm almost jealous of all the snow there in Utah.

A body, work trouble, and just troubling--guess the stage is set for Joe and Kabe's continuing tribulations.

Yay!! Back to the Mormon lands and book #2.

BR with Vivian.
