Sometimes you come across a gem of a story with rough edges that need a little polishing to make it shine. This is one such story.Take one emotionally scarred, tortured hero, add a sassy, likeable heroine who knows what she wants, mix in chemistry that sizzles and sex scenes that threaten to burn up the pages and you have one hot book.I totally loved Bishop—more so because he was a man who didn't think twice about defending his country as a Navy SEAL, yet he thought he didn't deserve Angel. From their first scene together I could already feel the butterflies fluttering in my belly:Without warning, he reached up and turned on the reading light at the head of the bed. How did he know that was there? Meeting eyes the color of blue topaz, everything in Angel froze, including her breath. Oh God, I know those eyes! She didn’t know the man personally, but she knew of him from the pictures on the fireplace mantle downstairs. He was Diana’s older brother, and Navy SEAL Bishop Strong. Suddenly everything made perfect sense.After six years, he’d finally come home!My only beef with this story is that it could've been crispier and tighter in certain places (less of the telling and more of the showing) especially since I found out this was the author's 20th book.All-in-all, I loved this book. It had everything I look for in an erotic romance novella. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I read this author again? Yes. I hope there are more books in this series as I'd like to read about Bishop's SEAL team mates.Disclaimer: This book was provided by the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.
