Review: Special Forces Spin Off- Good Read
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 7, 2012
I was thrilled to discover this spin-off story that filled in the gaps of what happened for Hooch and Matt.  It was quite the incredible and erotic journey of love for these two soldier boys.  With it being a spin-off story, I strongly recommend that it be read after reading the Special Forces series where both the heroes of this one are introduced and are part of the story thread.This story is told in the format of chronological vignettes that cover many years from the start of their relationship together into the present.  It starts with the moment that Hooch is captured and tortured with only his memories of Matt helping him to hold onto his sanity.  Naturally this is an epiphany for him in that he realizes what or who he really wants in his life.  The relationship is kept very secret because Hooch is military still even though Matt is out and starting his new gym business.  Hooch has a darkness in him that needs a very extreme form of sexual release that he knows Matt can't help him provide.  This need may be the final straw for Matt when Hooch first hides it from him and then leaves him alone while he deals with it only to let Matt be the one to find him busted up and left for dead.These two guys go through so much to be together and I was fascinated by where things went for them to give them both what they needed.  Matt was amazing when he showed what was inside of him the whole time that only came out when he did what needed to be done for Hooch.  And Matt's mom?  She was the mom that everyone wants because it was Anne that introduced Hooch to the idea of family being a good thing.The plot was for the most part strictly Hooch and Matt's story of their relationship and it is a very intense erotic read.  It was my first time reading a story with strong sado-masochistic elements along with Master/slave lifestyle told in detail.  Yes, I cringed a lot since it was all new to me, but I was invested in seeing how this would all play out for the guys.Recommend for those who appreciate M/M Contemporary Erotic Romance with a military flavor.
