This is my first Tessa Bailey book.  I actually really liked the heroine Lucy and the initial banter in the book, then about 25 pages in I was ready to quit the book.  I seldom stop reading a book so I plowed on.  By the end of the book, I really wished I had stopped reading at page 25.  WHO WAS MATT?  There are so many unanswered questions about who the hero of the was I have trouble believing that Tessa Bailey has written as many books as she has.  There are no spoilers because the plot line was as thin and limp as angel hair pasta.  Let's for starters go with the theory that Matt is a dominant man....but not a Dom, or a wannabe dom, just a dominant man with a lot of demands and no give and take with Lucy.  Lucy finds that she doesn't mind pain when they have their first experience together, however, in no way, shape or form is Lucy portrayed as even mildly submissive.  Because of her reading she has somewhat of an idea that maybe a safe word would have been good but she also states she wouldn't have used it.  Second theory is that Matt just enjoys inflicting pain through rough sex....he talks a big game but he's never defined.  There was a lot of sex for sex sake...take away the sex and there would be 3/4's of the book missing.  An author is there to tell a story, there simply was no story except for the wimpy MAYBE SPOILER COMING girlfriend cheating, guy getting blown up just a lot of white noise.  Only thing I took away from this story is how many times this man was on the taxpayers dime doing personal business AND in uniform.  I just think it's sad when something like this clutters up people's time and money when there are so many people with a legitimate story to tell and they can't get a break
