BROTHERS IN ARMS is a very good military MM romantic suspense.  I enjoyed this romance of two mature men and the military investigation that reunites them.Jonah and Kellan shared one night together before their military careers separated them.  Now an investigation in Iraq reunites them, if only they can live long enough.I liked this book a lot.  Unlike a lot of MM romance, this story isn't erotica with no story. Yes, Jonah and Kellan have an intensely erotic romance but most of the book takes place outside of their bedroom and to me this made their erotic interludes even sexier.  I also liked that Jonah and Kellan were both mature men with lives and experiences before and after they met.This book has an interesting plot with the investigation which combines the military and the FBI.  The mystery was written well and kept my attention.  I'm not familiar with the military so this world with all the acronyms and chain of command seemed exotic to me but still accessible as the author explained everything so someone unfamiliar like me can understand.I do admit though, that within the framework of the military and the mystery which turns into a kidnapping, Kellan and Jonah don't have the time to emotionally bond, or at least not where readers are privy to it.  I missed the emotional intimacy because the sexy romance was just on the cusp of this when the book ended.  It's my hope that the author will continue Kellan and Jonah's romance in forthcoming book.I recommend MM readers try BROTHERS IN ARMS for its strong storytelling and sexy romance with likable, mature characters.Reviewed by J9for TheRomanceReviews.com
