Two US Marshals work their cases while redefining their relationship. Calm and rational Miro has been pining for his brash, impulsive partner/best friend, Ian. First off, I loved their friendship. They're each other's confidantes, there's solid trust, and the banter between them is hilarious. The romance builds slowly - Ian defines as straight (but he's very attached to Miro) - and the sexual tension is written well.
There's a mutual dependence between them, and it's lovely when they finally get together, though the transition felt a bit abrupt. There's a unexpectedly different dynamic in bed, which makes for some interesting steamy times. There's plenty of OTT action but it's entertaining as heck. It starts slow though, and things feel a little messy/jumbled at times. It's kinda hard not to compare this to the Cut & Run series but it stands strong on its own.
