Annabeth Albert does it again, this was an absolutely fantastic read!!

It had a really great mix of sexy and serious. I really, really enjoyed it!! 

(Also, Tyler Stevens did a GREAT job with the audio. I was hooked from his first breath!!)

Nice little palate cleanser between horror books! Plus, steamy gay scenes!

This was an easy read and a pleasant book to fall back on between other books. If you’re looking for substance or something new, this isn’t it. There’s a lot of homophobia in the book and unresolved trauma that makes it kind of heavy and annoying. I actually really liked both characters and get for their struggle, but I also wish that every macho mlm romance wasn’t so hung up on homophobia—not because it’s not realistic but because it’s radical to just let gay people give and receive love and this was tired. There’s a HEA though, and having experienced it, I do love seeing the queer military mafia represented.

Aside from the fact that I doubt Zack would have had this HEA in real life, I’m a sucker for escaping the hate of society so well ZACK AND PIKE WERE SO CUTE TOGETHER. Zack was just the right of hesitant grump and then Pike was a cinnamon roll with a kick. Will be reading the rest of the series hehe
