I love it when two characters "fight their growing attraction" (as the jacket copy cliche goes), because you KNOW they're gonna give in. I love it even more when that attraction is grounded in genuine friendship and a shared passion for kink, as it very much is here. Albert does a great job of deepening their romance while acknowledging the serious repercussions if they're caught breaking the officer/enlisted man anti-fraternization rules.

RaimeyGallant Nice review. 7y

āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸ #romantsy This review is definitely gonna get continued in the comments. Dustin & Wes meet on a online hookup site for military types & have been chatting etc for months without names, branches of service etc when they meet up in DC while they are both in the area. Things go well but a month later Wes who is enlisted is transferred to team where Dustin is the XO. They try repeatedly to break things off because of fraternization rules.

Christy2318 This book was very different to the slow burn of the other book I read in this series. LOTs of very descriptive sex. The XO is into submission & Wes likes being in control. I‘ve seen it described as BDSM but i didn‘t think it was quite in that category. There were a few places where the sex was a little detailed for my tastes but it was not gratuitous. Their sexual compatibility was equally important to their emotional compatibility. 7y

Christy2318 Mostly it was really hot. Bonus points for the audio because a large part of the sexual relationship between them has to do with Wes‘ voice & commanding tone. The narrator was fabulous. I liked how different this was from Squared Away because it was much more like she is writing about real people vs writing to a template. 7y

Christy2318 I‘ve been reading romance for 35+ years & I‘ve been reading a lot of MM lately because the sub genre generally seems to do a good job of writing multidimensional male characters. While I love a good alphahole story is nice to see stories where someone can be strong and also vulnerable. This was an excellent example of that because you don‘t get more alpha than SEALS. 7y

Reggie Well, I thought I had other books planned. Lolol honestly, thanks, I‘ve never heard of this or quite a few of the others you‘ve posted about. 7y

Christy2318 @Reggie HA! It‘s always fun to mess up someone else‘s reading plans. š I wouldn‘t have known about all the great MM and other romances not put out by the big publishers if not for a great romance group I belong to on FB. 7y

Finally, some time outdoors on this 31° day! I've got tasty grub, the last of the champagne, and a military BDSM novel to seriously dig into.

It's cloudy out, too. Hot & cloudy is my forever fave.

CouronneDhiver Looks great! 7y

I meant to go to a bookstore event tonight, but I never got around to firming up the plans on account of the whole cancer scare thing. When I had some celebratory champagne after supper, the whole idea fell by the wayside in favour of bubbles and a Taiwanese drama, followed by ice cream, mango mimosas, and a military romance.

RaimeyGallant Have you noticed anything about the comment notifications? I can't click into each notification as easily anymore. Trying to figure out if it's just me. 7y

RaimeyGallant Sorry! It's working now. I just had to close and re-open my app. :) 7y

xicanti @RaimeyGallant I'm glad it sorted itself out. 7y

Joanne1 Wow, that's some impressive multitasking. 7y

josie281 @Joanne1 making flash cards while audiobooking isn‘t hard. If I were to be studying them then I would have had issues! 7y
