Jeff,
Alex, Sean, and their friends have made the move to Washington DC
Swordplay is the newest, and final, book in
the Jeff Woods Mysteries series. Readers need to keep in mind that this is a
series that needs to be read in order; therefore the possibility of spoilers in
this review exists for those who have not yet read the previous books.
From
the first page the author, once again, pulled me back into the world in which
this series exists. I love the
characters which the stories center on.
Jeff and Alex are still madly in love, with neither able to imagine a
life without the other person in it, yet at the same time, they struggle with
telling each other how they feel. At
times it was a little annoying, especially on Jeff’s side, it did make me
laugh. I loved the way these two men
have grown, especially Jeff. I will admit
that while I loved the first book, I did not always like Jeff and wanted to
smack him from time to time. Now seeing
him with Alex, and Sean as well, has made him one of my favorite characters,
and I hate seeing him go.
Jeff
is not the only one who has changed over the course of this series. Alex has become stronger, although he
continues to hold on tight to his little brother, Sean. Sean, even with his many new health issues is
coming into his own, even standing up to Alex a time or two. And secondary characters, Parker and David,
have formed not only a solid relationship of their own, but have become members
of Jeff’s and Alex’s family in such a way that Parker behaves a little over the
top.
Like
the previous books, Swordplay has a
mystery throughout it that ends up spelling disaster for all the men. The turns and twists this story took will
leave you questioning who the ‘bad’ guy is, and after reading this story, I
have to agree with Jeff and his belief that he and Alex are weirdo magnets.
Fans
of this series are really going to love this new book, especially the way the
author wraps everything up.
