Now isn’t that just sooooo romantic? Who doesn’t want to be loved in any incarnation of ourselves? Wow. Cross & Crown (Sidewinder) (Kindle Locations 1496-1497). I would love you in any incarnation of yourself.”

“Has nothing to do with the circumstances, or our history, or how close to death we’ve come together. Some very touching moments between the two guys, some funny lines from surly, sarcastic and smartass Julian Cross – who I love (I will write about Warrior’s Cross in a future post) – and a good mystery full of historical stuff in Boston. It’s a good mix of adventure and mystery and romance. Roux wrote with Madeleine Urban, they solve the mystery and continue on with their love and their lives. Kelly helps him out and, with Nick’s partner Hagan we get to meet and a surprise visit from Julian Cross of Warrior’ Cross Ms. In Cross & Crown, Kelly comes to visit Nick in Boston for two weeks and arrives just when a crime Nick is investigating gets complicated. We now see how their lives have changed because of it, and how it needs to change more for them to see each other if they’re serious about it, as they live in different states. After fifteen years, training and war, adventures and mischief, they fall in love in Shock & Awe. After Shock & Awe which I so loved and read many times – it’s a short one – Cross & Crown is a perfect continuation of Nick and Kelly’s new romance. The second installment of the Sidewinder series by Abigail Roux, the first being Shock & Awe, reviewed here.
