Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #7) April 1, 2013 M/M Romantic Suspense Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “You’re the best partner I could have asked for.” I always like to make the disclaimer when I write these reviews that I’m a fangirl for this series. Meaning – I’m so incredibly invested in Ty and Zane (they are my favorite characters in all of romance) that my reviews of these books are not necessarily objective.
