Both of the books in this series have been quick, short reads. We were introduced to four Marine's: Levi, Declan, Sebastian and Cole in Duty Bound. This book is Sebastian's story.Sebastian has always felt like an outsider when it comes to his family. He's an only child and has no interest in wearing a suit or taking over the family business, which disappoints his father. When he returns from duty, he opens a security/investigation firm with the rest of the guys. He's hired by one of his father's friends to provide security for an upcoming gala. It's during the weeks of preparation that he meets Ali.Ali works for an event planner and is tasked with putting together the gala. Turns out the man hosting the gala, along with Sebastian's father, runs the company that screwed her father out of a job and his pension. Ali takes it upon herself to try and find evidence that proves her father was wronged, but Sebastian keeps busting her snooping. Ali falls for him, until she finds out who is family is.I think the story would have been better if the authors had taken the time to develop the story a little bit more. There was no depth or emotion, it felt entirely surface and predictable. I loved Sebastian, but the relationship between him and Ali felt like insta-love. She goes from hating him, to throwing herself at him, to professing her love. I also don't understand why the authors keeping alluding that there is more to Gavin's death but don't give us any answers.*Complimentary copy provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review*
