Shock & Awe (Sidewinder #1)


After barely surviving a shootout in New Orleans, Sidewinder medic Kelly Abbott has to suffer through a month of recovery before he can return home to Colorado. He’s not surprised when fellow Sidewinder Nick O’Flaherty stays with him in New Orleans. Nor is he surprised when Nick travels home with him to help him get back on his feet—after all, years on the same Marine Force Recon team bonded the men in ways that only bleeding for a brother can. He’s very surprised, though, when Nick humors his moment of curiosity and kisses him.

Nick knows all of Kelly’s quirks and caprices, so the kiss was a low-risk move on his part . . . or so he thought. But what should’ve been a simple moment unleashes a flood of confusing emotions and urges that neither man is prepared to address.

Now, Kelly and Nick must figure out what they mean to each other—friends and brothers in arms, or something even deeper?—before the past can come back to ruin their tenuous future.


In my mind, nothing could replace Ty and Zane. However, I broke down and I am glad that I did. 

This is the start of Nick and Kelly's story. 

Sure, they have been partners for many years. 

Yes, Kelly was married and now divorced. 

Of course Kelly is struggling with his sexuality. 

Affirmative, Nick is sexy as hell. 

Everything started with a kiss. Kelly asking for Nick to kiss him. Nick's emotions as well as Kelly's insecurity issues will have to be worked through. A secret that Nick has to tell Kelly. Deployment forcing the two apart at a very critical time. 

All of these could fracture what seems to be a very hot beginning. 

Guess  I will have to read the second book now. 

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Due to lack of plot. I was left feeling cheated and wanting more! 


Until Next Time,
