4 of 5 starsFor original review see The Prism Book Alliance Blog onlineWe are 20 years in the future and the world has changed beyond recognition. Terrorists have caused death and chaos and compromised the government.  A group of officials has banded together and set up a task force to infiltrate and remove the terrorist groups.Ian and Travis are two of the top operatives in the field but lately neither has been working to the best of their ability.  Their modes of operation when in the field differ vastly but their past lives and trauma are finally catching up with them.When Ian was literally rescued and brought to the team he was a submissive with an abusive master. When out in the field he has been using his overt sexuality more and more until it is now compromising missions and endangering others. Travis has a military background and has been left damaged by his previous relationships. He is currently trigger happy and his last three extractions have resulted in the death of his target.The book is told with flashbacks that explain what happened to each man to bring them to this point. I’m not always a fan of books jumping backwards and forwards but this worked well and was necessary to give you the background to both mens situations and how the world had broken down.Travis has had a bumpy ride where relationships are concerned and has built some pretty big walls around his heart to protect himself. The naturally dominant man has been living as a virtual monk for a long time and is left very unsettled when having to face Ian and his ‘in your face’ sexuality. Ian is a slut and a fan of one night stands. A relationship isn’t even on his radar until he is faced with living with Travis who actually seems to ‘care’ about the man, simple things like cooking a meal mean the world to him.In a last ditch attempt to save both men from a desk job they are partnered together in every sense. Not only must they live together, train together and work together their bosses are hoping they can become lovers and help heal each other. This was left with a HFN ending and I am looking forward to book 2 later in the year.
