Kicking off right after the events in Touch & Geaux (Cut & Run, #7), Kelly has made it home to his cabin in the woods. Helping him get there after staying with him his entire hospital stay is his team member and long time friend Nick. These two have been through wars together and more sketchy situations than either would care to remember, but what transpires between these two during Kelly's recovery neither one saw coming. 
 Abi Roux has a knack for writing strong loveable men in uniform and this new spinoff series will be going down as a favorite, I'm sure. Not much of a case/mission in Shock & Awe, it's more of a weekend-in-the-woods turned love. 
 After the "ending" we get a treat with Zane and hints of what's to come in upcoming books in both series. I am fairly certain these will cross storylines repeatedly, and that's a good thing! 
 Can't wait for more!
