Now we have the conclusion to Aaron and Jordan’s rocky mystery.  When the first book ended Aaron was trying to re-establish a new normal life after hearing his husband Jordan had been killed in Afghanistan, when someone walked in the back door of the house. Aaron grabbing his weapon went to investigate only to find his husband Jordan in bad physical shape begging him not to shoot.After the shock of seeing Jordan alive Aaron got him to the hospital and while he was recovering Jordan explained how Adeela had been his nurse in the POW prison and had helped him escape.  He couldn’t tell the military about her and what she had uncovered because it was a violation of the military code to accept help from the enemy.  He also had to explain that Aaron’s friend Troy was behind this and he had no proof to back his claim.  He was going to have to beg Aaron to just trust him.Of course Aaron was going to believe his husband, they were connected so deeply, he knew Jordan wasn’t making this up.  We go on the journey with these two men to seek the truth behind Troy’s involvement in time to keep Jordan from being dishonorably discharged from the military for accepting Adeela’s help, which could alone land him in jail once again.  Also dealing with his injuries and the PTSD of the torture he was inflicted with Jordan has to solve this mystery before his father, husband and friend Adeela loses their life.I loved the ending when the truth has come out and everyone knows what really happen.  The dedication and loyalty both Jordan and Aaron have to Adeela if heartwarming and the love they have for Jordan’s dad was fantastic.  While not all relationships could be repaired from the first book it was nice that the author didn’t leave us hanging, we were able to see where it ended.This was another short book in the series but it packs a huge amount of drama and action between the covers.  We not only see the real loving relationship between Jordan and Aaron, we get to find the evidence that is needed to save Jordan while they fight the American government and military.  I was outraged at the policies they had to violate just to prove his innocence but I was in love with the dedication they showed to not only each other but those innocent people in Afghan.While this book is about a love story, there is a deeper message in the plot.  What we are asking our military personal to do while not giving them the measures to protect them or have the right to clear their names is insane.  This story is well written and once again you are just drawn in on the first page.  I highly recommend this series and if you are afraid of the m/m sex, rest assured it isn’t graphic, drawn out or distasteful.  The author gave us a very well balanced book that relies on the plot more than the sex.  The message alone is worth any discomfort you might have with the m/m relationship.
