This is number 3 in Patricia Logan’s Armadillo Series, but she has written them so you could actually pick up any of them and not suffer any ‘What?!?” moments. There are references to previous characters and they all end up tying in together so it’s nice to know, but not necessary to your enjoyment of this book.When this story starts out you get the idea that it’s about two very strong men who have similar military backgrounds, up until their reason for leaving, which is also a timely reminder of the devastating effect DADT had on many people’ s lives, and the behavior it could foster in less than honourable people. Kyle and Trace, at the start of the story, had qualities that made them not very likeable, but they worked through some of their problems and we got to see why they would suit so well, which was in a way better that just getting backstories.Humour is one of the things that I adore about Patricia Logan’s writing, sometimes dry, always witty.Humour thinking about sex: His big head told him that he really should just go home and forget this, but his little head pointed him in the direction of Kyle.Humour before sex: An hour. I can last an hour without jumping him. I know I can.Humour during sex: Kyle groaned, loving being manhandled by Trace. “Okay big guy, when you ask so nicely, I may be open to negotiation. But it’s been a really long while.” He batted his thick eyelashes. “Be gentle with me, Mr Martin?”Humour after sex: “Come here,” Trace said as he wrapped Kyle’s biceps, pulling him up and across Trace’s body until they were side by side. He cupped Kyle’s cheek and looked into his eyes. “You started this, Kyle. You know what that means?” he asked.Kyle stared at Trace seriously, wondering what it could be. He shook his headTrace grabbed him and flipped him onto his back. Trace had a demonic grin pasted on his face as he straddled Kyle, holding his arms tightly against the bed.“It means you have to sleep in the wet spot.” He laughed.The story incorporates a stalker for Trace’s sister and a secret Kyle has moved away from, and the tension and apprehension ratchets up degree by degree, page by page until you cant put it down, because there is nowhere to pause, and you just want to find out the next bit and then you’ll go do what you have to do, but its soo good, I don’t wanna leave…. That’s how it feels… truly.. Trace and Kyle’s relationship is built up around these things, plus Trace’s war injury and his PTS and …. Oooh ill let you go there….These two are hot, real hot damn hot and then Patricia throws in Ryan Harris.. OMG the heat factor just went up a thousand fold. I loved the dynamics of these three.. I like a MMM scenarios when two of them are strong alpha types, so this actually works well for me. I saw a t-shirt a while back which describes Ryan to a T, “I would bottom you so hard” and he does. Wether it’s two or three, my screen was burning up in all the sex scenes, and these three like to talk: Kyle was turning him on so bad with all the dirty talk, he felt as though that alone would make him come. ALOT.The only reason , and it was NOT a story reason, that the  was taken off was the breakup of the scenes (and the sex scenes were included in this). I did get a tiny bit unfocused with these breaks (ie *******) and felt they distracted from the action going on. I don’t know if this is just something that I picked up on, because the story actually flowed nicely around it but it was like a bug on the tv screen, there in the periphery of your vision, annoying until you can ignore it. And really exasperating to not be able to give it a 5.Even though the Armadillo series is finished with this book I do know there will be more of these men in other books, which is good cause I love these boys and I love the books and I just want more more more…. And it was hard to leave them but ……..This review originally appeared at Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books
