This is THE book of the series so far, IMHO, as I love tales where a lost love comes back from beyond, especially when the one who was left behind has moved on. It adds to the emotions and angst and you just know there's going to be some soul-and-heart-searching.This is the full tale featuring Rex and Sawyer, who we've been seeing get together as side characters during a couple of books back (I think), and Jace and Clint pop up in this one too, living their HEA, which was lovely to see.I won't bother with the synopsis of the tale, as the blurb states this so well, but this tale was done with skill and wasn't bogged down with too many military acronyms, which was rather refreshing, nor were there any major misunderstandings or stubbornness that could have avoided misunderstandings. Instead, we got 2 very decent characters in Rex and Sawyer, who were both slightly conflicted, but who each put the other's happiness ahead of their own. We also got a couple of likeable characters in Dash and Lucky/Josiah/Josh, and my only complaint is that I'd have liked to have known more about the former. We learned plenty about Josh and how he came to be Lucky, but I'd have liked to have seen more of him as Lucky and to learn about how he reacted to the things he learned about himself; he dealt with everything so clinically, that I couldn't figure out if he was still in his 'weapon' mode or whether he'd assimilated all.From the cover and despite the blurb, I totally hadn't clocked about the ending until perhaps a chapter or so from the end, and I really liked how the author ended things. I think we'll be seeing more of all of these characters in future tales - which I think readers will need in order to believe in their HEA - and, perhaps future tales featuring Nate and Uncle (yes, a weird name, and not the Sam I was thinking of).Ebook courtesy of Samhain in return for an honest review.
