The Only One Who Matters is a follow-on sequel to The Only One Who Knows (which means, yes you need to read book 1 to understand book 2).  We pick up a few months after the end of The Only One Who Knows.  David and Josh have settled into a life. Josh is gone on missions more than he is home, and David is still trying to find his way in his post-SEAL world.  This book is a ode to our wounded warriors as well as those who are left behind to wonder when or if their loved one will be coming home.David really tugged at my heart in this installment.  He wants so badly to be the badass he was before his injury, but he just can't.  At the same time, he sees his lover going off to live the life he wish he could still have.  He doesn't want to be jealous, he doesn't want to be upset, but there is that part of him that just can not help it.  It is a feeling we have all had at one point or another, so even if you aren't a former SEAL watching your active-duty partner go do what you can't, you can still relate to David.  Add in the fact that he knows exactly how hairy things can get on a mission and he knows more than one partner should have to know.Yes, Josh goes through some stuff.  Yes he has to deal with the baddies and get himself and his team to safety, again.  But to me, David made this story.  Read and enjoy The Only One Who Knows, then continue their story in The Only One Who Matters.Review originally published on Prism Book Alliance
