A Few Good Fish

This is book three of the Fish Out of Water Series and it is best you read them in order since the story sort of recur and you will know who all the characters are. So If you haven't read them grab A Fish Out of Water and Red Fish Dead Fish. Trust me you will fall in love with Jackson and Ellery. (Warning: If you haven't read any Amy Lane books, you may become addicted and want to buy her entire backlist!) The Fish out of Water Series is a mystery suspense, that is so gripping once you start you won't want to stop. Jackson is a PI for a law firm and Ellery is the up and coming defense attorney. They come together working a case and become more than co-workers but it wasn't a love at first sight thing. In A Few Good Fish: Ellery and Jackson have been on a two-month leave after the last case they closed. Jackson is recovering and not doing well. Ellery had made a pact with God that if Jackson lived through the events of the last book he would go to Synagogue. Jackson goes along but sits outside on a bench talking to an odd man he soon finds out is the Rabbi when he sees a young boy trying to put something on Ellery's car. He catches him finds out what he is doing, goes to the liquor store to find the man that hired him when he sees the owner has been tortured and killed so he wants to protect the boy. He and Ellery have a meeting with a client that has been framed and it brings them to Lacey the man over what happened in the other books. They knew they were going to face him sooner or later. They head out to talk to Ace and Sonny (also from the last book) when Ellery and Ace get kidnapped. This leads us to so much action, bonding, and some really shocking twists. Ellery is sort of a stick up his but kind of person and scary in his own shark lawyer way. Jackson is scary in a street-smart but charming, mouthy way. Then we get more Ace and Sonny and a new character Ernie and Burton which are all so much fun and scary in their own rights. this brings us to the first line of the blurb A Tomcat (Jackson, a psycho, Sonny and a Psychic, Ernie walk into the desert to save their men. I absolutely loved this line and couldn't wait to see how this fit in the story. Amy Lane writes such amazing characters and this book is chock full. Even Ellery's mom is so fun. She is a tough woman. The little boy that Jackson saved Anthony is so much like a young Jackson, then we get his family Jade, Mike and Kaden, and AJ. Each character adds a special touch to the story weaving such a magical, dram filled web. The story is action-packed, nail-biting suspense, some hot man-sex, and an awe-inspiring, sigh-worthy relationship. If you like MM contemporary romance, mystery/suspense, quirky characters, Private Investigators, lawyers, established couples, feisty kids and cats some hot mansex and love to die for this is for you! I highly recommend this series!

This was an excellent third entry in an outstanding series. Additionally, it crosses over with another book of Amy's: Racing for the Sun, which has a second book coming out in October - Hiding the Moon. So read the first two Fish books and Sun before reading this one. These people Amy writes - they mean something. They go through hell. They show the value of love, healing, family, and being heros. The writing and storytelling are both so very good. I learn more about how to people with each book Amy writes.
