I love, love this series and have been waiting impatiently for this 4th volume. Since the series builds on each other, I recommend reading the books in order.
Mac is still fighting for his health after being gunned down. He is a cop with his heart and soul and wants to return to active duty as soon as possible. But that's not an easy thing to do. Tony, on the other hand, sees the risks of Mac's job and is not unhappy that Mac has three more months of desk duty. Mac's profession always leads to discussion points. However, Tony also has to deal with unexpected career obstacles. It's like real life, you never know what's coming next.
The author has done a fantastic job of capturing Mac's recovery, as well as the day-to-day life with all the fears and worries of the children and adults as well. It's nice to see the two of them working on their relationship, talking about things that bother the other, and just trying to be there for each other. The kids Ben and Anna are a highlight and I love their sibling squabbles. When Mac's past catches up with him, Tony learns why Mac never told him about his family. But Tony stands by him during this time and supports him where he can.
And, of course, there is a case to solve that is quite interesting. The everyday life of Mac and Tony mixed with the investigation result in an entertaining but also an emotional story that captivated me from beginning to end. I listened to the audiobook in just two days because I couldn't stop.
J. F. Harding has outdone himself. He captured even the smallest nuances of the characters' emotions perfectly, and I love the voices he has for Anna and Ben.
Over all, J.F. Harding is a great narrator and his narration made a fantastic series even better. I love his performance as he made the story feel very real.
I will miss Mac and Tony very much.

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐

I recommend reading the previous two volumes to get a better overall view. I love the story of Mac and Tony, who I have taken to my heart.
"Home Work" begins where most stories end: after the happy ending. Tony and Mac have moved in together and now they are struggling with the usual everyday problems that everyone knows. It's not always easy to balance the relationship, the kids, the job and the household. It's no different for Mac and Tony and yet with all the problems there is never a hint of doubt of their love.
The story is very emotional and that affects several characters. The backstory of the children Ben and Anna is heartbreaking.
Mac is investigating a new case as a homicide detective, which is exciting and tested more than just my nerves with an unexpected twist.
I have rarely been so captivated and at the same time so touched by an audio book. A large part of this was due to J. F. Harding, who has an incredible talent for portraying emotions convincingly and believably. He was the perfect choice for this great story. I loved the audiobook and J. F. Harding took it to the next level.
Highly recommended and I can't wait to listen to the final installment in the series.

The story of Tony and Mac continues. The two are happy so far, but their relationship has a shortcoming: Mac doesn't want to come out, because he fears that some of his work colleagues won't take it well. He also has to think about his daughter Anna, who spends a lot of time with her aunt Brenda. And Brenda is very religious.
I loved the story of these two. Mac and Tony are believable and sympathetic characters who struggle with the circumstances of their lives.
Mac is a homicide detective and he is on the trail of a serial killer who suddenly gets way too close when someone in their acquaintance is murdered. Now it's up to Tony to decide how to proceed, and he makes a momentous decision that just seems right in this situation. I totally enjoyed both the development of the story and the development of the characters.
The author has a lively writing style that gets the emtions across to the reader well. Yes, it got emotional and I was shaking and cheering along with the two of them.
The story absolutely captivated me from the beginning. This was due in part to the narrator. J.F. Harding did a phenomenal job of narrating. He has a talent for making the listener feel every emotion. He has a very pleasant voice and portrays each protagonist uniquely. And he managed to make an already very good book even better.
Highly recommended! And I'm really looking forward to the next volume!
