What is Cut & Run by Abigail Roux all about?
Ty Grady is reckless, Zane Garrett is rigid, and neither is thrilled when they’re partnered on a brutal serial-murder case. But forced proximity does what it always does best, turns tension into attraction. As the killer closes in, Ty and Zane find themselves unraveling not just the case, but each other’s defenses.
Cut & Run by Abigail Roux Book Review
Two Alpha FBI agents. A murder case and a whole lot of steam.That’s how I would describe Cut & Run. In the first book in the addicting series that stars Ty Grady and Zane Garrett, my M/M fantasies have been brought to life.
There are so many things I loved about this series. I don’t think I could name them all. First off, I just need to remind everyone again that I LOVE TY AND ZANE!!!! Seriously, the next couple that is next to them on my “favorites things” list is Blay and Qhuinn from the BDB series and you know how much of a fan I am of them already. Ty and Zane are on the same field. In this book, we see the claws come out. When Ty and Zane are unwillingly put together on a case, things get rough and though they bicker the entire time, it’s always entertaining to read their banter. No one does it better.

Paired with the good humor, there is also a stellar suspense plot that pulls the entire story forward. I was hooked from the first page and really couldn’t stop until the very end. As Ty and Zane work together on the case, you can see their relationship slowly changing. They go from hating each other to insulting one another to finally learning to trust their new partner. There was already so much growth to their relationship and this is only the first book!
I noticed that there was some lagging in transitions. I think this may be due to the fact that two authors are working together to make this work, so it wasn’t as tight. But I still really enjoy this book!
If you’re looking for an M/M romance series that will blow you away, this is it right there. Look no further.
