Crash & Burn by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #9) Released: March 30, 2015 M/M Romantic Suspense Riptide Reviewed by Mandi It's hard to say goodbye to my boys. My boys. Mine. Ty and Zane are one of my favorite couples. Their sarcastic humor paired with their passionate love for one another makes my obsession with them unhealthy. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I was nervous coming into this final book. I didn't love the previous book and felt like too much page time was spent with Continue Reading

Review: Shock & Awe by Abigail Roux
Shock & Awe by Abigail Roux (Sidewinder #1) Released: November 11, 2013 Erotic Novella Riptide Reviewed by Mandi I’m a huge fan of Abigail Roux’s Cut & Run series, whose main characters Ty and Zane are two of my most favorite romantic heroes ever. Ty is in the marines and has been with Kelly and Nick for most of his service. The entire Sidewinder group is extremely close. In the previous Ty and Zane book, Kelly gets shot, and this novella is him recuperating with Nick Continue Reading
The Cut & Run Web Hunt
We all know I’m a fan of the Cut & Run series by Abigail Roux. To celebrate the release of book seven, Touch & Geaux, the publisher has put together a web hunt. Many participating blogs have been asked to post their favorite quote from the series, and you guys get to collect them in order to win some great prizes.

Review: Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux
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. Things that may annoy others or not work Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–November 30th
10. Grrrr Gi Joe. You beast. (Thanks May) 9. JR Ward gave us a tiny excerpt from Lover at Last yesterday. From page 43: Blay leaned in, his upper lip peeling back from his fangs. “Just so we’re clear, your cousin is giving me what I need. All day long. Every day. You and me?” He motioned back and forth between them with the cigarette. “We work together. That’s it. So I want you to do us both a favor before you think I ‘need’ to know something. Ask yourself, ‘If I were flipping burgers at Continue Reading
Review: The Gravedigger’s Brawl by Abigail Roux
The Gravedigger’s Brawl by Abigail Roux M/M Romantic Suspense/Thriller October 15, 2012 Riptide Publishing Reviewed by Helyce The Gravedigger’s Brawl was such a wonderful surprise! I have to admit, I chose to read it simply because it’s written by Abigail Roux and well, I don’t have to think twice about reading anything written by her. I had reservations though as I am not a fan of spooky reads and I especially dislike ghost stories because I don’t like to be scared! Halloween might Continue Reading

Review: Stars & Stripes by Abigail Roux
Stars & Stripes by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #6) M/M Romantic Suspense August 13, 2012 Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Oh Jesus Ty. Are you okay?” Ty closed his eyes again. He tried to speak, lips barely moving. “What?” Zane asked as he leaned closer. “I hate Texas.” If I had to write a one sentence review of this book, I’d probably say, “Ty wears a Stetson while doing dirty deeds to Zane.” Is there really anything else you need to know? Seriously, some hot Continue Reading
