Review: Best of the series
Rating: 5 out of 5

Without a doubt, the best book in the series. I am really hopeful that it’s not over because I truly want, and need, to know more about Lucky “Josh”. I need updates on his “condition” and need to know if anything changes. The same could also be said for Sawyer…will his “condition” become a factor? I can easily see another book starring these four amazing men…and the 3 SEAL team mates.I am not normally a fan of stories where two separate couples are prominent in the storyline. It tends to weaken my connection to them when their time is shared. That is so not the case here. There is absolutely no way the plot could play out without their stories being told together because these men each have a past, some known and some not, that are entwined. The story works and I loved every minute of it…even the not so happy parts.We initially meet Sawyer and Rex, two SEALS who are at the early stages of a new relationship, in book 4 of the series. We were given just enough to make us want more. Well, we get a lot more…and surprisingly, as much as I was rooting for and screaming for a Sawyer and Rex book, I wanted Rex with Josh… at first. It took quite a while for me to get past that, but once I realized that Rex and Sawyer just made sense together, and that even Josh agreed, I was at ease.Rex suffered severe guilt at leaving Josh behind with the terrorists, believing he was killed, and then later learning he was actually alive and without any memory of who he was, or even who Rex was, just made my heart hurt for him…for both of them. In his own mind, Rex left is lover and team mate with the terrorists and he could not forgive himself, even though the entire team believed he was dead, had actually seen his body. But he still believed he should have known better.You would expect a whole lot of jealousy in this story, but besides the expected insecurity, there is no petty behavior…especially with an unexpected ghost from the past, a lover suffering guilt and confusion, new relationships dealing with many unknowns, possible deceit, and hidden agendas. I am amazed at how well behaved these guys are, but then again, they are highly trained and the love they feel for each, not just the romantic love, is refreshing and I enjoyed every minute of this book.I highly recommended for those who enjoy hot, sexy, alpha men coming to terms with their pasts, while dealing with danger and intrigue.
