My Favorite Book Couple with Robin Covington

Robin Covington, who NYT Best Selling authors, Robyn Carr and Carly Phillips, said was their new “auto-buy author”, writes sizzling hot contemporary and paranormal romance.

A Night of Southern Comfort, her best-selling debut novel was nominated for the Rt Book Reviewers Choice Awards for Small Press and was touted by RT Book Reviews as bringing a “fresh, modern feel to the genre while still sticking to the things that get our adrenaline pumping — sex and danger”. When she’s not exploring the theme of fooling around and falling in love, she’s collecting tasty man candy, indulging in a little comic book geek love, and stalking Joe Manganiello.

Robin is a member of the Romance Writers of America, the Washington and Maryland Romance Writers, a faculty member at Romance University, a member of The Naked Hero, and a contributor to the Happy Ever After blog at USA Today.

Robin lives in Maryland with her hilarious husband, brilliant children, and ginormous puppy.

Ty and Zane: The Cut and Run Series.

My favorite romance novel couple is Ty Grady and Zane Garrett of the Cut & Run Series by Abigail Roux. This male/male romance is heavy on the suspense that I love so much but it is the relationship between Ty and Zane that make this an autobuy book for me. There are 8 books currently in the series and this romance is a slow burnwhen they aren’t absolutely combustible.

Two men. Both FBI agents. Both with very dark demons.

Yes. Please.

They are thrown together in book one and their personal relationship is anything but healthy or easy. They don't like each other (that is a little bit of an understatement) and they ate having to work together so their interactions are both ugly and fraught with sexual tension.

It makes for some of the best angry sex I’ve ever read.

But, that isn't what makes them my favorite couple. What keeps me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next installment of the series is their deep, cellular attachment to each other. They fight, they let each other down, they hide things form each other, they disappoint each other and they hurt each other. But they still believe in each other and love each otherno matter what.

And the beauty of the long series is that the trust and the deep passion they have isn’t a product of insta-love. It is built like a real relationship with one step back for every two steps forward. It isn't to be together when you have so much to fight in your own head and heart but they are faithful to the “us” they know they can be.

The result is the most passionate and real romance I’ve read on the page.

Try it out - you will not be disappointed.

A series of murders in New York City has stymied the police and FBI alike, and they suspect the culprit is a single killer sending an indecipherable message. But when the two federal agents assigned to the investigation are taken out, the FBI takes a more personal interest in the case.

Special Agent Ty Grady is pulled out of undercover work after his case blows up in his face. He's cocky, abrasive, and indisputably the best at what he does. But when he's paired with Special Agent Zane Garrett, it's hate at first sight. Garrett is the perfect image of an agent: serious, sober, and focused, which makes their partnership a classic cliché: total opposites, good cop-bad cop, the odd couple. They both know immediately that their partnership will pose more of an obstacle than the lack of evidence left by the murderer.

Practically before their special assignment starts, the murderer strikes again – this time at them. Now on the run, trying to track down a man who has focused on killing his pursuers, Grady and Garrett will have to figure out how to work together before they become two more notches in the murderer's knife.
