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.
