Bound For Keeps is book 5 in the Men of Honor series by author SE Jakes and it was fantastic! The story and characters captured my attention right from the beginning and I could not stop reading until I finished. I love the military men that SE creates in this series and Keith Masters, Johnny Lee Reed and Shane Wills have become favorites of mine. Keith and Reed have been together for a long time and are still mourning the loss of their lover, Bobby when Shane lands on their door step on Christmas Eve. Shane is running from a madman who's after him and also from the haunting memory of a dead lover. Keith and Reed takes an ill Shane in and nurses him back to health as danger and passion ignite between all three of them. I really enjoyed the small glimpses of Keith's relationship with Bobby and the memories that Keith and Reed shared of Bobby which brought tears to my eyes. I could feel the depth of their loss and pain as I read the words on the pages and as they brought Shane into their relationship. Shane got an eyeful of their Dom/sub relationship which was one of the hottest sex scenes in the book. I could not get enough and wished there were actually more sex scenes between Keith and Reed. I enjoyed seeing the three of them together in and out of the bedroom and I loved the suspense aspect of this story as they worked together to capture the guy after Reed. I found myself being mesmorized with the gripping story and also with secondary character, Prophet and wondered what his backstory was since he was also in SE's book Free Falling. I was happy to learn that Prophet will get his own story in a new series. The only minor problem I had was the ending which I wished was longer and sexier; it seemed to end a bit abruptly. Other than that, I loved everything about this story and I cannot wait to read more books.
