After having their faces plastered across the news during a high-profile case, FBI Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett have become more useful to the Bureau posing for photo ops than working undercover. Just as Zane is beginning to consider retirement a viable option, Ty receives a distress call from a friend, leading them to a city rife with echoes from the past.
New Orleans wears its history on its streets, and it’s the one place Ty’s face could get him killed. Surrounded by trouble as soon as they land, Ty and Zane are swiftly confronted with a past from which Ty can’t hide—one with a surprising connection to Zane’s.
As threats close in from all directions, both men must come to terms with the lives they’ve led and the lies they’ve told. They soon discover that not all their secrets are out yet, and nothing lasts forever.
Angsty...harsh...painful... But I love them both even more.
Touch & Geaux was probably the most difficult book in the series for me to read, and it managed to confirm one hard fact... I am a huge Zane fan. Yes, I'm saying it outloud - Zane is my favorite of the two. For most of my reading buddies, this won’t come as a surprise because of my expressed opinion that I always go for the broken one... the underdog... the one with the most flaws. For some reason Zane fits that bill perfectly to me. I love him! And after reading this installment, I’m officially head over heels.
For those of you that don’t know this character, here’s how he describes himself:
”I’m an artist. I’m a geek. I am one badass motherf*ck*r on a motorcycle. And I’m yours.”
Yes, I’m squeeing pretty loud here, and let me tell you - after reading T&G, I just wanted to hug him... HARD! The twists and turns that took place in this book floored me! But most of all, I can’t believe what Zane discovered in this novel about Ty. Wow! Just wow! The entire story was one huge emotional roll-a-coaster full of anger and betrayal, and I was so scared they wouldn’t come out in one piece after this book. Actually, at one moment I really wanted Zane to just walk away. He’s spent most of his life forgetting how to live for himself because he was trying to make the other person happy, and that’s what he got in return? So wrong!!
Abigail Roux sure turned up the conflict, heat, angst… all of it! She came guns a blazing when she exploded this story. And what did I learn from this book you ask??? Never… NEVER answer your phone in the middle of doing the deed. Cue Napoleon Dynamite IDIOT!!!
Overall, amazing installment that blew me away. I am floored... Next one please...
