I absolutely fell in love with Alex and Cassie’s story in Fraternizing and just couldn’t wait for Compromising to be done because I just needed to know how their story continued!Compromising is the continuation of the difficult times they have ahead. Their instant attraction and fraternizing led them to falling in love, trying to hide it and eventually, getting called out for it. Now both of their careers as Marines are on the line as consequences, and possibly so is their relationship.In this amazing follow-up and ending to their story, they endure the fight and struggle to make it through the system and somehow keep their love intact. But what happens when you can’t trust anybody, people who you thought were friends and family call you out, and have one pissed off First Sergeant that seems to be gunning for you both? Welcome to Alex and Cassie’s world on base Twentynine!The consequences to the fraternizing policy are dealt with but Alex and Cassie have to fight every step of the way. The Marines uphold important rules and value the importance of obiding them, maintaining proper procedures of consequences if such rules are broken. Both of them knew this prior to establishing their relationship. What they didn’t know was how everything would play out, testing their love and devotion to one another. It seemed like with every step, there was a barrier for them to struggle to break through and their road to happiness would not start off easy.This is a beautiful struggle for them to learn the meaning of Compromising. Alex admits he will screw up but Cassie is just the one to give him s*** when he deserves it. With everything going on with the legality of their fraternization, miscontrued friendships and family issues, can their love for one another overcome the road blocks and push on?Compromising was a fantastic conclusion to Alex and Cassie’s story. They really went through so much that your emotions were just so up and down. Alex is a hard, alpha, military badass that when he is passionate and loves something, nothing and no one will penetrate that aura around him and that object of love. Cassie has a dedication to prove herself. Her mom knocked her ego down growing up so the joining the Marines was her escape to prove herself. On that journey to being her own badass, she saw the light in Alex’s dark and was able to show him that he doesn’t need to be all Alpha all the time, to see the logic in a situation. Cassie was his calming and voice of reason. Their love was definitely tested but in the end, they both realized love was winning out, they’re better together than they are apart.Again, a GREAT story and GREAT ending! Absolutely LOVED the epilogue! This story does toy with your emotions and you may shed some tears with the events that go on but it’s real, this s*** does happen whether we like it or not. Alex and Cassie get their happily ever after and then some but again, it’s not an easy road to get through. Riley and Nat were great, as was Dalton! Alex’s sister Adriana was funny and I loved her so the great supporting characters continued on as did the slimey backstabbers creating drama!I really enjoyed Fraternizing and Compromising so definitely put them on your to-be-read list!
