I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Mark Houston is a marine in love with his best friend, Jon’s, fiancée, Libby. He is chosen to break the horrible news of Jon’s death to Libby. While dealing with this horrible responsibility, Mark realizes the Libby sees him as no more than a friend. Libby desperately needs a friend, and Mark is the very best. She comes to the shocking realization that Jon was never going to marry her. Jon loved the military more than he loved Libby. Mark and Libby go their separate ways after Jon’s funeral, and Mark joins Alex Stewart’s organization, The Team. The Team gets disturbing news that a drug cartel has smuggled opium into the country in fallen soldiers coffins. Jon’s coffin contains opium, and the head of the drug cartel will do anything to get it back. Will Libby survive the cartel? Will Mark get there in time to save Libby and her family? Will Mark get the girl in the end?I was dreading reading this book because I was disappointed in the first book in the series. I was very pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed Mark. I loved the fast pace of the book. I also loved getting to know more about all the members of the Team. I loved Mark and how devoted he was to Libby even when she was engaged to his best friend. ***spoiler alert*** I especially loved how they both saved themselves for the one. I get tired of all the manwhores most books write about. I found it endearing and I was cheering for their relationship from the beginning. ***end spoiler alert*** Overall, I loved this second book and am looking forward to the coming stories of the other members of the Team.
