Considering the events swirling around new lovers Cameron and Mason, it a wonder no one’s been killed; the danger pulling the two men ever closer together. Afraid to leave his lover alone, Cameron and his intelligence agency co-workers head out to Meridian Naval Air Station with the ‘I hate to fly’ Mason in tow. Their mission….locate, seize and secure a stolen missile.

Using Cameron’s psychic power to find the missile turns out to be the easy part of the mission. Retrieving the explosive device from the thieves turns into a bloody firefight that leaves one of their men critically wounded and near death and Mason struggling to save him. Even after the completion of their mission, an unexpected traitor puts Cameron’s life in jeopardy, forcing Mason into an action that threatens his sanity.

Cut Pass is the third and final release in AR Moler’s interesting and well-written Hell Dogs Squadron series. While short in length at just over 11,000 words, the author manages to artfully and succinctly pack in all the elements needed to bring this serial-style trilogy to a satisfying conclusion. The relationship of Cameron and Mason is growing stronger, Cameron is healing from his previous injuries, Mason can openly use his psychic healing powers and they discover the identity of the enemy.

The scenes while flying to Meridian Navel Air Station, those in the warehouse firefight and the ones immediately following, were particularly well done, I felt. The love, compassion and tenderness between Cameron and Mason was perfect, giving this reader hope for the long-term happily-ever-after both men want and deserve.

I’d be more than happy to see more of these psychically gifted men and Division P again in the future. Think about it, Ms. Moler.
